Courtyard House

Located in the peaceful village of Blockley lies this beautiful property, Courtyard House, the perfect retreat for families and small groups of friends seeking a relaxing break in the countryside.

Park your car in the off-road parking space before entering into the hallway where you can kick off your boots and move through the property, into the kitchen that is well-equipped for home-cooking and also contains a handy dishwasher, to help with the cleaning up, as well as a washer/dryer.

The open plan living/dining room blends contemporary style with traditional character and is set over two levels, with high ceilings adorning beautiful exposed beams, where you can rest on the four-seater sofa or wonderful selection of armchairs, watching a film on the Blu-ray player, as the gentle glow from the woodburning stove lights up the room and keeps you warm and toasty.

In the summer months, end each day in style with a sociable seat under the stars in the courtyard garden, and make use of the charcoal barbecue, toasting a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday.

When your eyes grow heavy, climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find the king-size master with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, overlooking the courtyard garden and village square through the dual aspect windows, and a twin room, perfect for children, which is set across two levels, with an en-suite bathroom.

In the morning, enjoy an invigorating rinse in the walk-in shower and get ready to head out for the day into the picturesque village of Blockley which has a country pub, The Great Western Arms, a historic Norman church, Church of St Peter and St Paul, and the popular community owned shop and café which serves delicious food during the day and hosts a couple of dinner evenings too.

Surrounded by wonderful countryside, there are many walks and cycle routes on its doorstep including The Monarch’s Way long distance walking trail which passes through the village and can be followed either north to Chipping Campden or up and over the ridge towards Moreton-in-Marsh, skirting the fringes of Batsford Arboretum which is a 56-acre garden with trees and shrubs from around the world in the plant centre and a café.

At Courtyard House, you are close to the bustling market town of Stow-on-the-Wold where you can take a walk around the market square, which is the heart of the community and offers boutique shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, as well as the Farmers’ Market which occurs every second Thursday of each month, featuring inviting local produce.
