1st time staying here & will definitely return. Accommodation is modern, clean and with all amenities you need.
Located in a quiet, stunning village. Away from the hectic popular spots, but has two local pubs and great walks

A fifth stay at The Knoll
My friend and I came back to The Knoll in Blockley High Street for our fifth visit last week, and found it as desirable as ever. It is warm and comfortable and has all the equipment we need. Being an old, 4 storey building, the bedroom and bathroom on the top floor necessarily have low ceilings, but this is an occupational hazard in Cotswold cottages. There were a few little niggles this time, such as the concealment of the information folder, some expired light bulbs and the oven going on strike, but these were soon dealt with by the team. Thanks to more explicit written instructions - vital for non-techies - we even came to grips with the smart tv and the dvd player. Blockley is an excellent centre for days out, is close to Moreton station, and is well served by buses, which we were delighted to see were being used by more people than in the past. And there is now a bus service on Sundays! I can highly recommend Blockley, The Knoll and Stay Cotswold.

A pleasant stay
We enjoyed staying at the Knoll in Blockley. The cottage is comfortable and stylish, a few initial issues which were sorted out. The village is lovely and convenient for trips to the Cotswolds as well as Stratford Upon Avon.

Thank you Patrizia for your review of The Knoll in Blockley. We are pleased to read that the cottage was comfortable and stylish and in a good location for visiting the Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Property is lovely and in perfect Cotswolds village. Well appointed and stylish cottage. The only issue was the top floor bedroom and bathroom that were very challenging due to steep stairs to get to it, sloped ceiling, low beams and particularly tub shower configuration (which a grab bar on the tile would help a lot). Beds are great and kitchen nicely equipped although there is no freezer.

Knoll Cottage was just perfect, we walked into the cottage and just felt instantly relaxed & at home. It had everything you wood need.

Our stay at knoll Cottage
The four of us enjoyed our stay in Blockley very much. Blockley is such a lovely village and Knoll Cottage was very nice but the TV reception was awful - we never got to watch anything on BBC!
The cottage was well-equipped, comfortable (another 2 seater sofa instead of the 2 rather uncomfortable chairs in the lounge would be a better arrangement) and was decorated nicely in a non-country cottage style. The village shop and restaurant/coffee shop were lovely as was the Great Western pub. We all enjoyed our short stay very much indeed.
Other relatively small points are:
No ice cube tray for the G&Ts
Shower tube leaked in 1st floor bathroom
An opening window in the 2nd floor bedroom would have helped to alleviate the summer heat at night
Drawers in base of wardrobes would have been useful
Arrangements for emptying the refuse bins were not provided
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Sept 2025
Thank you Ian for your review of Knoll Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Blockley and found the property to be well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated. We will ask the property manager to check the shower as no leaks have been previously reported. Due to the height of the windows locks have been added for health and safety. There are drawers in both bedrooms and additional shelving in the wardrobe in bedroom 1. The rubbish is collected by the property management team on a weekly basis. We do hope that you will be back to stay again soon!

We enjoyed our stay at Knoll Cottage. The property was tastefully decorated, comfortable and well equipped. There were great walks from the property and the views from the bedrooms were lovely. The only downsides were a few low beams and quite steep stairs so this might not be the right property for taller people or those with mobility issues.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage and beautiful village
We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing break in Knoll Cottage. The cottage is decorated to a very high standard, and is the most well equipped holiday let I've ever encountered. The village of Blockley is beautiful and is very well positioned for exploring further afield, we met a few of the locals and they were extremely welcoming. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

We had a lovely time here. Although the internet went down (and two us were working) the neighbours offered their connection which was very nice and helpful. The showers we struggled with as either boiling or cold but overall a great stay.

A lovely stay in Knoll Cottage
Knoll Cottage was a perfect place from which to explore the North Cotswolds.
The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with everything needed for a comfortable self catering break. The garden is lovely - very welcome during the hot week we were there. The cottage is over the road from the Crown Hotel but is still really quite and peaceful in the lovely village of Blockley. Highly recommended!

As you imagine the Cotswolds
Cute Cotswolds cottage in a quiet village with village pubs and cafe. Really nice local people. Comfortable beds and cosey living room. Easy drives to almost anywhere - we visited Blenheim, Daylesford and lots of the surrounding villages. The Fox (part of Daylesford) was fab atmosphere and food but you are spoilt for choice when it comes to pub lunches.

Our perfect place
We absolutely loved staying at Knoll Cottage. As soon as we arrived, we were met with a cosy and warm living room that was a welcome escape from the harsh elements outside. We loved the decor and the quirkiness of the cottage and the views of the valley from the main bedroom were exquisite, especially with the autumn colours. It was easy to feel instantly at home, so much so that we would definitely like to return one day as it really is a special place. The location right in the centre of the beautiful village was also perfect.

We really enjoyed our home base for a week in the Cotswolds. Knoll Cottage was beautifully decorated, with a lovely garden, and very well equipped. The views out the back were outstanding!
There is a great restaurant/cafe in town, as well as a grocery store with all the basics. And the Father Brown TV show church is in Blockley too!
My only suggestion is for better quality/ greater quantity of towels.
