Cosy cottage in quaint village
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.

Amazing location in Darling Cottage
My mother and I spent 2 lovely weeks at Knoll Cottage. She wanted to experience a traditional Cotswold village and Blockley did not disappoint. We felt like part of the community when we were recognized at the local pub and spent time chatting with long time residents after dinner. The cottage is well equipped and ideal for 1-4 adults. We really appreciated the stash of teas, bottle of wine and container of milk. The location is central to anything in the Cotswolds. Blockley is quiet but you might get awoken by the sound of horse hooves on cobble stones! A few words of advice - the stairs are narrow as indicated. If you aren’t able to easily maneuver your suitcase, you might want to unpack in the living room and bring up armfuls. Also - be prepared to duck! It’s truly an historic building and the beams are a danger for anyone over 5’9”.

Delightful house in a lovely Cotswold village
Knoll house was a lovely comfortable place. 4 stories high in a quiet village. The honey toned stone architecture is quite beautiful throughout the area. Basement kitchen was well equipped & comfortable with good facilities & a toilet. The lounge with a large very comfortable settee was well used by both of us.. the log burner proved useful on a couple of cold wet afternoons . Both bedrooms had comfortable king beds & having two bathrooms proved very practical. The outside back courtyard looked very attractive but due to poor cold wet weather didn’t get used. Walk out the front door & opposite is the Crown Hotel pub. The area was very quiet throughout our stay of 4 nights. Easy parking outside the row of cottages. A five minute walk down to the lovely cafe & shop in the village. All in all a very pleasant area to visit with local Towns of Moreton & Stow a short drive away.

Warm and cozy. Beautiful property. Great little town. Information book needs to be updated. Company used for problems was very helpful once we learned how to contact him. Lots of extra numbers that go before his number. But we got it and he was great. Clean, cozy, nicely furnished, felt very safe, great back yard. (If bikes are for renters use have the tires filled with air. Across the street is the Crown hotel. Great pub, met very nice people that made wonderful recommendations for things to do. I had the most incredible view from my bedroom window on the second floor. And I mean incredible!!!!

Lovely spot
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.

Perfect in many ways
300 year old homes have their quirks, it is part of their charm. We very much enjoyed our time at The Knoll but noticed several quirks you might want to consider. We have stayed at many rentals (our primary vacation method), we've also stayed in the Cotswolds many times and have owned our own rental in the US. Overall the owners have done a terrific job pulling in modern conveniences while keeping the original beauty of the home intact. The garden is absolutely lovely! The wood burner in the fireplace lends romantic charm. However, the placement of the stove-top (in the gorgeous kitchen) is less than ideal. If you are over 1.7m you will find cooking on it a challenge as large beam (with an adorable "Duck or Grouse" sign hanging on it) is directly above it. But many people never cook at all on vacation and otherwise the kitchen and the appliances are first rate. The washer/dryer is by European standards what most folks are used to, but if you are from the US and thinking you'll do your wash mid-point in your trip, you'll need to plan carefully (it is less than half the capacity and 2-4 times the cycle time compared to what you're used to). Speaking of tight places, while the ground and first floors are charming and easy for 2m tall people. The top floor bedroom/ensuite would be difficult for 2 people over 1.5m to share. A single or 2 children might do well there. My wife and I chose to stay in the smaller bed and less convenient bath on the 1st floor rather than take our chances upstairs. Note that children under 5 years aren't recommended due to the nature of the stairs, and full grown children would suffer the same height restrictions, so this bed/bath is limited in function. There are many scenic and picturesque walks to be had about the town. The cafe had perhaps the best Full English Breakfast I've ever had and excellent coffee. The store had a good selection of items. These are next door to each other and a short walk away. The pub/hotel across the street I cannot recommend. Limited choices and the bar smelled of cigarettes and the food was so-so. The people were friendly, though. The Great Western Arms not far away was not friendly at all, but was very cozy looking inside. Despite the sign, dinner really is only served from about 6:30-8pm, so we never actually ate there. The street is narrow/full, but we could usually get parking within 150m. It's a quiet town but lock boxes are poor security: you know that code never changes.
