Dog Friendly Cottages In Broadway

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 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.

  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.
