  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.

  This was an interesting house.

  We were a bit surprised when we first arrived at the layout, especially since my husband had currently got some mobility problems. We decided to use the basement bedroom because of this, and, to be fair, the description does mention that this bedroom has fewer stairs and would be best for less mobile visitors. We enjoyed our stay and got used to the many stairs. However, I do feel that there were a couple of issues with the description on the Sykes site. I don't think you can really say that the dining room table is "positioned in the nearby open-plan living/dining room" when the said table is up quite a lot of stairs to the next floor up. The basement bathroom certainly needs a grab rail as the floor is lethal for anyone, let alone someone elderly. No non slip bath mat provided. There was one to share with 2 other bathrooms. And we had to take 2 picnic chairs and a bean bag with us as there are certainly not 'sumptuous seats' enough for 10 adults if the house is full. We did feed back these comments and the owners were lovely and said they would take the comments on board. I would still recommend the house as it is very lovely, and the other bedrooms were beautiful. Also the perfect base from which to visit so many lovely places.

  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 cottage and the criticisms I have are quite minor but would make a difference.

  The most notable thing really was the curtains in the middle double room , the housekeeper had left a note saying she couldn't reach to hook the curtains back up, but unfortunately it wasn't the hook ups, but the tape on the curtains was completely worn and ripped so couldn't be hooked up. The blind also in the upper room is broken and can't be shut , so that means that room couldn't be used really . (This had also been noted by the house keeper) .My hubby managed to secure them so that the light could be kept out as best as possible, one of the pulls on the drawers is also broken, and the handle comes off in your hand! Again a minor thing but of note. A full length mirror would be a bonus maybe on the back of a door and as a self catering cottage a griddle pan would be magic. Apart from these small issues the cottage is lovely, well positioned and we had a fab stay . Will definitely come back Pub is very friendly too !
