The views from Bankside Cottage were outstanding, we loved spending time in the snug, just looking out over the hills. Blockley was well placed to visit the renowned surrounding villages and National Trust’s Hidcote Garden and Snowshill. Beds were comfortable with crisp linens, towels fluffy and plentiful. Bathrooms clean. Kitchen was well equipped, a fresh pint of milk in fridge on arrival was a welcome touch. Blockley itself was very pretty, loved the local community shop and cafe where we enjoyed breakfast on our final day, plus nearby Chipping Camden. Well-known supermarkets if needed were in Moreton on Marsh a couple of minutes drive away, Wi-Fi and TVs worked well. Loved books on points of interest. Prior to booking had seen mixed reviews about parking however it was fine, we were able to park outside, this is an old quaint village with narrow streets and therefore as expected. Plus there was further parking by shop, if preferred. We knew stairs inside this listed cottage were steep prior to arrival, and used bannisters throughout our stay to be extra careful (something to consider if you have young children or mobility concerns). Similarly stairs in back garden which did have bannister and were well lit. We loved our stay, my only suggestion for improvement would be check in/ out times 16:30 does seem really late to check in would have preferred 15:00 and similarly 10:00 a touch early to check out. Other holiday let’s and hotels used previously it’s usually 15:00 check in and between 11:00 and 12:00 check out which makes stay easier.
