About this property
No.3 The Old Coach House is a stylish ground floor apartment, set in a 18th century former coach house. The Grade ll listed Cotswold stone property is located in the picturesque village of Blockley and offers the perfect base for a romantic getaway to the North Cotswolds.
The front door opens into a smart entrance hall, and moving into the property you will find the bright and airy open-plan living space, where you and your loved one can relax on the inviting three-seater sofa, whilst watching a film on Netflix or playing a game from the selection on offer, before cooking a delicious meal together and enjoying it at the wooden dining table.
A step leads up to the homely bedroom which contains a king-size bed and adjoins to the beautifully presented, contemporary shower room, home to a walk-in shower.
No.3 The Old Coach House is situated in the peaceful village of Blockley, a picturesque village with 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 sits opposite the property and 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 footpaths to the nearby market towns of Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh; in Chipping Campden you can start your day with a delicious breakfast at Campden Coffee Co before heading over to Dover’s Hill to enjoy the stunning views over the Vale of Evesham where you can join the Cotswold Way, which is a 100-mile walking trail, taking you through picturesque villages, breath-taking countryside and famous ancient sites and finish off your day with a heart-warming meal at The Swan in Broadway – the second stop on Cotswold Way!
Make your way over 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. Visit the Fosse Gallery to admire an array of contemporary British art, indulge in a bite to eat and drinks at The Stag at Stow, or revel in the scrumptious tea and cakes and cream tea at The Old Bakery Tea Room.
For a romantic break with your other half, stay at No.3 The Old Coach House.
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.

We were aware that it was on the edge of the churchyard but not that at all hours people would be sitting on the benches under the windows and talking, laughing and drinking. When we arrived the radiators were on full and the temperature inside a humid 25. We had to phone up to find out why and how the radiators were on. It was warm out so unnecessary. The oven did not work as someone had turned it off . It took two maintenance men to find this out We were told that the cottage had been checked but clearly the issues with the radiator and oven were not picked up. We are not short people but we could not reach the blind over the sink which was a problem as people passing could look straight into the cottage requiring us to be covered up at all times. I never realised that although I am 5â7ââ, I have short arms! Lighting is poor. There are lots of lights but the bulbs are so dim it is hard to read at night. Might be ok if you are younger. . Could to work out how to use the tv. There were no instructions. When we did get it to work we could not turn off subtitles. I think this is because there is an all in one remote control rather than the original from the tv.

It has the added convenience of being close to Blockley's café and shop and has a very pleasant outlook onto the Churchyard. However, it has no outside space of its own so although a washing machine is provided, drying clothes was difficult. and having a heated towel rail in the shower room would have been helpful to ensure that towels can dry.

The property had been cleaned to a high standard and we appreciated the little touches of milk and biscuits to welcome us on our arrival. A comfortable and spacious flat. On the downside I was disappointed that the property had no designated parking as the photo shown on the website shows what looks like a flat area in front of the property suitable for a car. Please make this clearer on the description of the property. The property is situated in a churchyard and overlooks the graveyard which perhaps again should be made clear. The flat appeared humid/damp and not being able to open a window when in the property did not help help. There is a washing machine but no where to dry the clothes except inside which adds to the feeling of dampness. I had to telephone for the wifi password. Please put this information in the welcome pack. Not everyone knows to use the wireless key for the password. Please add more instructions about the use of the electrical equipment and heating to avoid any mishaps. I would have appreciated a small vacuum cleaner to help keep the rugs clean. No matter how careful you are there will still be small crumbs etc. The instructions for the refuse collection are clear but please change the wording to read refuse and not refuge.
