Dog Friendly Moreton in Marsh Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  The inside of property was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped.

  Blockley is a beautiful village. However, there were a few issues with the cottage. On arrival the front garden had not been cleared of dog poo, but the owner was quick to sort this out when we raised it - but this should be checked before guests arrive. The dishwasher was broken for half of our stay, which was a shame (as we specifically choose places with dishwashers). There are some maintenance issues at the property and it generally needed a bit of TLC: e.g. loose sockets in the king bedroom, the shower in double room had poor power, very poor drainage and temperature control - the shower tray overtopped with water on one occasion. The toilet seat in the utility room needs fixing back on as it has come loose. Curtains don't shut in some of the rooms - and given how cold it was during our stay it would have been good to be able to close them to keep in more warmth. The gutters near the patio need cleaning out - water gushes over the top when it's raining. No comments on the twin bedroom as we didn't use it. Other things for guests to be aware of: the twin and double bathrooms have macerators which can be noisy. When you turn on the bathroom light (in the double room) it also turns on a main light in the bedroom. The property is located on a housing estate away from the older part of the village.

  This is a lovely property, in a lovely location.

  Communications from the owner were also excellent when any issues did arise. I would point out that it is still essentially set up as a B&B, so be aware that bedroom doors have stiff self closures, but that is a small negative against the fact that the bedroom and general facilities were plentiful. The only other negatives were poor mobile reception and some slight damp smells from a couple of the bedroom en suites. Everything else required for a great family break was on hand, for example, the washer dryer helped to ensure that walking clothes could be refreshed, regardless of the weather. The locality was very pleasant, and walks from the property were numerous and well detailed within the information pack. We all enjoyed the Heart of England trail, from the property, and walks a short drive away at Dovers Hill and Broadway tower. Moreton in the marsh provided shops and pubs (would recommend the Sunday kunch at the Redesdale arms), and the Blockley pub was also good, and only a short walk up the hill.

  We have just returned from the Malins and had a really good experience.

  Everyone enjoyed their holiday. A very spacious holiday home, we enjoyed having a space for quiet activities such as making jigsaw puzzles and the separate TV lounge. The dining room was a fantastic size, big enough for our home cooked meals. The toilets in two rooms are noisy, but we didn't flush these at night, there was no smell, although I did bring toilet cleaner just incase. The comments in previous reviews are off putting and unfair. The property was clean and perfect if you want a centrally located and a spacious holiday home. Having en-suite facilities for an entirely adult party is a real bonus. I would request the following items are added to the kitchen a whisk, a sieve, scales and beer or squash glasses. Thank you to the owners who communicated with us but we never met.

  Was really surprised about where it was located.

  The picture did not show it adjoining an estate. The toilets were very noisy to the point they rumbled for a while after flushing and coukd be heard all over the house . Darent flush them on a night as you didn't want to wake people...Spiders and cobwebs in the corners of most rooms. Doors were vicious when closing.. slammed because fire doors I'm assuming. Place was tired.. carpets worn on stairs shower cubicles tired... needs some TLC . I paid too much for my stay here. The write up needs to include details of the location and details stating two of the toilets were macerators. Location for the cotswolds was good and beds clean however I felt I was overcharged for my holiday in this accommodation......

  The property is large and comfortable and immaculately clean which is really important during these times.

  Bedding and towels fresh and clean too. Yes the plumbing especially two of the toilets were very noisy and some of the furnishings are old and dated so you wouldn’t choose here if you wanted modern and contemporary but it is a pleasant space to relax and It is spacious with everything you need, from good WiFi to all the little extras in the kitchen so you don’t need to bring them from home. Jane is nearby if needed but she doesn’t impose on your stay. The position of the property is fantastic. There is a very good cafe in the village and a pub that serves very good food, all within walking distance. Also The Malins is very central to explore all that the beautiful Cotswolds villages have to offer.
