About this property

Beautifully presented, peaceful holiday cottage in the Cotswolds -Primrose Cottage, Blockley

Primrose Cottage is an end of terrace Cotswold stone property which sleeps four guests (no children aged seven or under permitted, except for one babe in arms), in two beautifully appointed bedrooms, with a large bathroom. Dating back to the 1800s, this wonderful home away from home is laid out across three floors and has been sympathetically styled, combining stunning original features, including stone mullion windows and an inglenook fireplace, with modern facilities. Blockley Brook flows through the picturesque garden, an ideal spot to while away a sunny afternoon.

Just perfect

Primrose Cottage is just perfect is you are looking for a peaceful stay in the Cotswolds. Situated in beautiful Blockley, it is accessed on foot from the high street. The stream (brook) runs 70m through the garden, sometimes trout can be seen. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. We cannot wait to return.

Absolutely loved it!

The place is a gem in a gem of a village. We loved every minute of our stay in the house. The house is kept in very good condition despite its long age.

Beautiful but tired

The location was convenient and quiet. The cottage was quaint and tastefully decorated. The stream running beside the property created a unique and serene atmosphere. However, the cottage needs a deep clean. Carpets were dirty, living room furniture badly soiled and bathroom shade splattered. Amenities such as bath soap, shampoo and toilet tissue were lacking.

Beautiful Location in Blockley

We had a wonderful experience at Primrose Cottage. This is a truly unique and amazing location right on the bubbling brook. May be challenging for anyone with mobility issues, as it is a bit of a walk down a short hill to get to the property from the road, but totally worth it if not problematic for you. Listening to the brook was so calming. The town of Blockley is quaint and not too busy. This is truly a gem of a location. Would definitely go back!

A peaceful, pretty Cottage

My wife and I had a wonderful time in the Cotswolds, and the Cottage played a big part in that. It was cosy and had most of what we needed. However, strangely it did not come with any shampoo or body soap, there was no tissue paper, and the phone for local calls was not working. If those small areas could be looked at, it would have been a perfect stay.

6/10 Okay

A spoilt holiday.

Primrose Cottage is full of character situated in a delightful location. However our stay was spoilt by poor cleanliness and maintenance of the property. Parts of the cottage had clearly not been dusted for months. Water was dripping from the bathroom into the lounge on our arrival, although this did stop before the plumber arrived on our first morning. The cottage windows could not be shut properly, even allowing for the age of the property. The standard lamp in the lounge was dangerously broken, as was a picture hanging in the bathroom. The fridge door shelf broke due a cracked support bracket causing a full bottle of wine to smash on the kitchen tiles. The TV remote did not work so no TV. We have stayed in many cottages and this is the first that did not have a visitor book for comments! Stay Cotswold Cottages were helpful when contacted regarding the leak and fridge, but overall our stay should not have been so stressful. I hope this review is shown to perhaps encourage the owner to clean and maintain this cottage to a higher standard.
