Gorgeous 17th Century Cotswold Stone Cottage, in Blockley (a Picture Postcard Village, in the heart of the North Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Historically the Old Coach House to a Manor House, which has been stunningly renovated and restored into what can now only be described as your very own Luxury Escape from the World of hustle and bustle.
The Interior is both Contemporary and Classic, with that real Home from Home English Country Feel to it.
The Cottage has had a complete Interior Makeover, which has been meticulously designed and planned out by the owner (also an Interior Designer) who has owned a couple of other Holiday Properties and is basing the Look and Feel of this little Gem, on many of her own travel experiences and selecting all the best ingredients to make your time at Lanterns as comfortable, relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
The end result is like staying in your very own Private Boutique Hotel -( without the staff or the Restaurant in house ! ) with no other guests accept you and your friends or family to spend your time away with.
Perfectly located right in the heart of the most gorgeous English Countryside (you can't really get much more quintessentially English than this Village, and it is still very much a Lived in Village with just a handful of Holiday Cottages, together with 1 Hotel, a thriving and sought after Pub (within a stones throw from the cottage), a delightful Village Shop and a great little Cafe, offering scurmptions breakfasts / lunches and occassional evening events, if you don't want to cook or travel too far.
