  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.

  We booked as we had wanted a countryside setting rather than a town centre.

  On arrival we loved seeing the awesome views and the feeding stations for a variety of birds. We opened our 2 bedroom apartment and it had everything we needed. The views from the front double bedroom and the lounge were exceptional, rolling countryside for miles with birds always coming for feed to the well-stocked feeders. On the first morning I saw two foxes about 150 yards away in a field running playfully. The apartment had all facilities one would need for a week's stay. The cleanliness and facilities provided were excellent. This was an ideal base for Bourton-on-the-Water and Diddly Squat - Jerem1y Clarkson's farm - was a 25 minutes drive. Many lovely towns were viewed but we always enjoyed returning to Fluff's Farm. We did some local walks with tremendous views across the Cotswolds. When we left we said a fond farewell to Roy and Sue, the owners. We can only praise them for their warmth, their kindness and their advice. We have never had a better holiday accommodation, thanks so much Sue and Roy, we will return within the next 12 months, Fluff's Farm is outstanding.

  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.

  This was our 2nd stay at Fluff's Farm (Cotswold View apartment).

  The apartment is a fantastic place to spend a week. In fact, it is very difficult to write a review when everything was perfect! Everything has already been said about what a lovely property this is and how amazing the Cotwolds are. The claims in other reviews about uncomfortable sofas has been addressed with the inclusion of two very comfy, full sized sofas while the original (more solid) sofas and armchairs are still there for those who prefer them. I would also like to stress that the claim that the apartment is not "car friendly" is bonkers. We unpacked right at the door and parked right by the side of the poroperty. The claim that garden furniture is "mis-matched" is one of the funniest complaints I've ever seen in a holiday property review and the more serious claim that the property is dirty is simply not true. The whole place is always immaculate. Finally, we find the info and sticky notes posted around the property to be very helpful and always very amusing - just like the property owner! We will be back for a 3rd time very soon.

  Cotswold View is the best holiday accommodation we have stayed at for quite some time.

  We were apprehensive about the fact it was an apartment but there was no need to worry ,it is a stunning property, in a stunning location and the owners Roy and Sue were so friendly and checked things were ok daily. The disabled facilities were superb and suited Mom down to the ground. Everything is there that you will need to enjoy your stay at the View. We personally found that google maps seem to know the areas around and about, better than what3words and sat nav. You can’t miss Fluffs Farm as Roy has put Union Jack bunting at the front gates. We recommend Moreton in Marsh Tuesday market, Bourton-on-the-Water village plenty to see and definitely recommend Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens superb day out. So to say the least we will definitely be going back to Cotswold View in the very near future cheers Roy and Sue, oh and Steve (handyman) for a fantastic stay. Forgot to say it was lovely to see so much wildlife passing the window very relaxing
