About this property
The Old Reading Room is an exceptionally well presented, personal and romantic country cottage (three proposals have taken place here to date) set in the heart of this lovely and tranquil village. The cottage which itself is contemporary and light, and fantastically located to explore the Cotswolds, has been meticulously restored (and maintained) to a very high specification from what was originally the old school room where local children would have practised their reading and music. The cottage provides light, airy and extremely welcoming accommodation set across two floors, with a number of traditional features balancing out a clean and modern feel, including traditional Cotswold stone walls, with a clear view woodburner and pretty beams. Externally the property has access to a peaceful, secluded country cottage garden. The Old Reading Room is situated in the heart of Bledington, an archetypal Cotswold village with a quintessential village green, attractive stream with Bledington ducks, together with the acclaimed Kings Head pub. In our opinion this is a stunning English Country Cottage that is certain to delight.
Bledington is a small scenic village located in Gloucestershire, England. Located in the Evenlode Valley and part of the Oxfordshire way, the area is popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. The village has a traditional pub, a smart village green and a parish church which dates back to the 12th century. The prestigious university city of Oxford is just under an hours drive.

Including a comfortable bed, flawless bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and a cute wood burning stove. There are lots of guides inside aboyt the area and local walks - much of which you can't find online. We had a great day doing the picturesque circular walk that starts from almost next door to the property. The village, Bledington (actually just down the road from Stow-in-the-Wold), is quiet and quaint. It has quintessential Cotswolds houses and a busy village pub that serves very good food. It's also a short drive from lots of other pretty villages and things to do. The Old Reading Room's owner, Jules, is wonderful: warm, helpful and very knowledgeable about anything you could need. But she is also discreet and the property feels perfectly private. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

The place is inviting and quaint with everything you need for a wonderful stay away. The kitchen is bright and airy, leading into a warm and cost lounge with a high ceiling, log burner and comfy leather sofa. The upstairs mezzanine bedroom and ensuite shower room is lovely and always affords you a good nights sleep in the large and comfortable bed. Jules and Garth are the perfect hosts. They are very knowledgable about the area and are lovely people who make your stay extra special. Thank you again, and we will certainly be visiting before the year is out. x
