Meadow Brook Cottage

About this property

Resting in the idyllic village of Blockley, sits this mid-18th century terraced cottage, Meadow Brook Cottage. Finished in a contemporary style with an attractive garden, Meadow Brook Cottage is ideal for a small family or group of friends who are looking to explore the Cotswold region and beyond.

Enter the cottage and be welcomed into the stylish, open-plan living space where you and your guests can take a seat on the two-seater sofas, overlooking the patio, as you get the woodburning stove cracking away, whilst the budding chef rustles up a heart-warming meal in the tastefully decorated kitchen that comes well-equipped with everything you will need during your self-catering stay, before you all gather around the wooden dining table to tuck into your delicious meal and uncork a bottle of wine to toast to a fantastic holiday that lies before you.

A convenient cloakroom rests on this floor, as well as a utility room with a washing machine.

When the evening grows darker, tuck the children into bed in the twin room on the first-floor and head up the small staircase to have a warming rinse in the walk-in rain shower, before heading to one of the two bedrooms on the second-floor; the master is a beautifully presented dual aspect room with lovely exposed beams, home to a king-size bed, and the second bedroom enjoys lovely garden views, with exposed beams, home to a double bed. The contemporary bathroom completes the second-floor.

In the morning, enjoy your morning coffee sat in the attractive patio area, where adjacent you will find a beautifully maintained lawn garden which is bordered by leafy shrubs and colourful flowers, with a second patio area which sits alongside the tranquil brook and offers scenic rural views.

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 Meadow Brook 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 stay in the stunning Cotswolds, choose Meadow Brook Cottage!
