Lammas Cottage

About this property

Resting on a quiet road in the heart of the historic village of Blockley, is this lovely three-bedroom Cotswold stone cottage, Lammas Cottage. Perfectly located for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds, this cottage is the perfect retreat for a family or group of friends seeking a holiday surrounded by stunning countryside.

The front door opens into the ground-floor sitting room which is a lovely dual aspect room, where you can relax on the sofa and marvel at the stunning views whilst sat at the welcoming window seats whilst delving into a compelling novel.

A handy cloakroom sits adjacent to the sitting room, containing a basin and WC.

Downstairs on the lower ground-floor, you will find the open-plan living space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a wooden dining table and an inviting sitting area, which contains a charming woodburning stove and is full of traditional character such as Cotswold stone walls, exposed beams and flagstone flooring, the perfect space to enjoy a relaxed evening with your loved ones.

When night falls, make your way up to the first-floor where you will find two well-presented, compact double bedrooms and the family bathroom with a further steep staircase leading you up to the third bedroom located in the eaves of the cottage, which contains twin beds.

In the morning, access the lovely garden via the lower ground-floor sitting room and embrace the beautiful views across the Blockley Valley, where you can make use of the charcoal barbecue provided in summer months!

When you’re ready to head out for the day, start in the picturesque village of Blockley which has a country pub, The Great Western Arms, a historic Norman church, Church of St Peter and St Paul, and the popular community owned shop and café which serves delicious food during the day and hosts a couple of dinner evenings too.

Surrounded by wonderful countryside, there are many walks and cycle routes on its doorstep including The Monarch’s Way long distance walking trail which passes through the village and can be followed either north to Chipping Campden or up and over the ridge towards Moreton-in-Marsh, skirting the fringes of Batsford Arboretum which is a 56-acre garden with trees and shrubs from around the world in the plant centre and a café.

At Lammas Cottage, you are close to the bustling market town of Stow-on-the-Wold where you can take a walk around the market square, which is the heart of the community and offers boutique shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, as well as the Farmers’ Market which occurs every second Thursday of each month, featuring inviting local produce.

For a wonderful base in the Cotswolds, stay at Lammas Cottage.

An ancient village once famous for its silk and corn mills, Blockley lies just 3 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh and features a unique collection of honey-coloured buildings with a pretty village green, two excellent pubs, serving hearty food and real ale, as well as a village store and café, serving dinner on a Friday night. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of the village, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way and the Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close by. Very close by, Moreton-in-Marsh boasts many elegant 18th century buildings and is home to traditional inns, tea rooms, restaurants and individual shops to suit all tastes. It also offers its own train station and lies on the intersection of the Paddington rail line from London. The town hosts the Moreton-In-Marsh Show, one of the UK's largest one-day agricultural shows, as well as the Moreton Beer Festival, an annual French Market, and a large outdoor market every Tuesday. The highest town in the Cotswolds, this ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. Close by is Bourton-on-the-Water, which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds as the River Windrush runs through the centre. Also within reach is the spa town of Cheltenham, boasting an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, as well as being famous for its horseracing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase.
