Cleanliness
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the cottage to be below expectations, with reports of dust and unemptied bins, while others described it as clean and comfortable. The inconsistency leads to a moderate score.
Location
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, beautiful views, and proximity to local pubs, cafes, and shops. Blockley is considered a gem in the Cotswolds, offering a less touristy experience and good access to walks and other villages.
Comfort
The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the views from the bathroom and bedrooms. However, some guests noted the steep stairs as a challenge, particularly for those with mobility issues, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy sitting areas. However, some guests noted minor maintenance issues like non-working bulbs and a creaky bed. The late check-in time was also a point of contention for some.

About this property
Situated on the edge of one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, Thrower's Cottage has been lovingly restored by its current owners and is an ideal retreat for those looking to escape into the countryside and enjoy the peace and quiet that this region has to offer. Inside the cottage is gorgeously cute, with 2 separate seating areas to provide those moments of quiet relaxation, the lower ground floor providing a wonderful open-plan seating, dining and kitchen area, complete with the obligatory log-burning stove (starter pack of logs supplied). Outside your enclosed garden gives you stunning views across the glorious Cotswolds countryside (ideal for the very welcome pooch should you wish to bring it) . There is also a charcoal bar b q for guests to use.
The historic village of Blockley is very peaceful and picturesque, yet benefits from having two pubs and a community owned village shop & café, as well as a historic Norman church in the centre of the village. Numerous beautiful country walks are accessible directly from the cottage and Blockley is well located for visiting the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds.
Truly idyllic. If you jump in your car you can be in Stratford in no time as well as the lovely local National Trust houses like Hidcote, Kiftsgate and Bourton House. Charming and totally welcoming - you'll love this beautiful, rural retreat.
