  The positives-Overwhelmingly location, location, location.

  A minute walk from beautiful town centre & stunning park. Cirencester is an absolute delight. Lots of independent traders sit alongside decent high street stores. In addition 25 charity shops. A thriving town. Great green spaces for walking you & your dog & ideal base to explore The Cotswolds. All this is is a "High Recommend" The challenges. The basement is based under a very old beautiful house. For the first couple of days, there was a musty smell. Perhaps due to it being closed & not heated. The accommodation is VERY tired & could be stunning-but needs decent financial investment. The beds are comfortable, the bedding is old in the bedroom without windows. I prefer to sleep under a double duvet. A single does not cut it as an adult. The lounge is basic. The kitchen is adequate-but utensils & cutlery are not clean. There is a cupboard containing sauces/condiments that I opened & shut immeadiately! The wet room is good. The washing machine & Fridge freezer are also modern. Internet connection is appalling. If you are looking to work and or watch movies you will be hugely frustrated. I am sure it is due to the basement build & deep walls. Internet connection drops out continually. We moved the router into the hallway which helped slightly. Overall if you are not fussed about the comfort, facilities & cleanliness of your accommodation then this one is for you. Otherwise, pass this one by.

  This was such a great property to stay in, the location could not have been better.

  The village of Blockley is so quintessential English and very picture postcard. The cafe and shop are located next door to the property, which is so handy for a great breakfast and of course provisions. The local ‘Great Western’ Pub along with the Cafe is very good for food and everyone is really friendly. The Cafe is what we would term as ‘fine dining’ but due to the basic but very comfortable interior, does not charge over the top prices. The food was outstanding but you do need to book in advance. We did some great walks with our dog and then back to the cottage for ‘sundowners’ in the lovely courtyard and to the sound of the church bells located just behind the property. In fact apart from the church bells and the odd horse clip clopping by, you could hear a pin drop. Everywhere is within close proximity to the village, which makes it a good base to stay. The cottage was spotless and catered for all our needs, the bed was very comfortable and the en-suite shower a joy. We did stay during a very hot and sunny week (13/06-17/-6) which I know we were extremely lucky with and even better that we could go down to the bedroom at night, which had remained lovely and cool. We would definitely recommend The Bath House and will most certainly stay there again.

  The Bath House is situated in the picturesque village of Blockley which is central to all amenities.

  The cafe and store is two minutes walk away which I would highly recommend we had a beautiful meal also the Great Western Arms is a must but booking in advance is advised for both. We had a week of good weather and travelled around the local area visiting some beautiful villages and towns. Batsford Arboretum at Moreton in Marsh and Cotswold Wild Life Park & Garden Centre at Burford are brilliant days out well worth a visit. The Bath House is situated in the centre of the very busy village of Blockley with a very small car park which we did find difficult for parking as our car is quite long and it did just fit!! The accommodation was spotless and met our needs but could be better equipped with kitchen utensils and also instructions on how to use the combi oven. It has an excellent walk in shower and we found the bed very comfortable but I think the bedroom could be quite cool in the Autumn/Winter but the owner has added an additional heater to use if needed. We had a fabulous week and were fortunate enough to have a week of good weather in September which was a bonus.

  Cooker hood not working so we had cooking smells all over the place.

  Bulbs in 2 lamps blown. Frequently run out of hot water for bath/shower. Most of the taps need replacing. We didn't appreciate the fact that when we arrived at the place, there was bits of food and crumbs all over the dining table! The top of the fridge/freezer was filthy as well. More attention to detail needed for cleaning and also we didn't appreciate finding someone's used earplugs under the bed. All this little issues are totally avoidable. However, the cottage was in a lovely location right near a lake (so we could have a cheaky swim) and the host was very helpful. The ouitdoor pool was only 2 mins walk away and again that was lovely. We appreciated the Christmas tree and also grateful for the host leaving wood, kindling and firelighters for the log burner. Despite the little moans above we would come back to this cottage again provided that it was cleaned thorougly prior to our arrival. We got our deposit back promptly.
