Lovely cottage in a beautiful village

We had a wonderful week in Blockley. The cottage was so comfortable with every amenity we needed. The village was great with an excellent pub, a village shop and a cafe with a terrific chef. There were lovely walks and it was a great location for our day trips out and about.

Wonderful stay!

I’m a picky traveler and this was hands down my favorite Vrbo we have ever rented. The town is adorable with the cutest cafe and I liked that the town wasn’t super busy. The accommodations are high end and felt like a hotel and really thoughtful. Such quaintness with luxury. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Lovely stay in Blockley

The Lanterns was a wonderful house for our family of six. After eating out for 12 straight days, it was a perfect place to cook with a great kitchen and outdoor grill! Lauren, our host was a big help with suggestions of nearby restaurants and grocery stores. She also handled a slight plumbing issue very quickly! The neighbors were very nice as well. We would definitely stay here again and love a return to the Cotswolds!

The property in Blockley was quite nice. Location was perfect for short walks to the pub and the Blockley Cafe. Beds, bathrooms kitchen and lounge area are perfect for living spaces… we had an issue with the heating, but used the wood stove to keep us cozy warm.

Delightful home in wonderful Blockley

Lanterns is a truly beautiful home right in the heart of Blockley (which is a tiny little town but features a shop and cafe and pub and a great playground and central location). The rooms are spacious and wonderfully furnished, the kitchen is well equipped - really a five star place. The host provided excellent restaurant recommendations and was a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommended!

Cozy comfort

Visiting Cotwold’s for 6 days, split between lodgings. This stone cottage provided the perfect setting and was very accommodating for 5 people, perhaps best stocked kitchens of all rentals, ever. Dual-facing wood stove provided nice touch for dinner and sitting room. Recommend Cotswold Baking Shop if interested in afternoon baking lessons. Thanks to the hosts for providing an extremely welcoming place to relax!

Idyllic Cotswold cottage and village

We recently stayed at Lanterns for four nights.....oh how we wish we could've stayed longer. The cottage was perfect for two couples in their 60s. All the furnishings were beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed eating at some of the gastropubs in the area. The Cotswolds is my favorite part of England and Lanterns was the perfect getaway to enjoy it. Thank you to Lauren for the wonderful hospitality.....we really appreciated the welcome basket and all the amenities of the property. We'll definitely be back!!

Post-lockdown escape to beautiful Blockley

The cottage is centrally located in Blockley, which is ideal for the local pub and getting to local towns such as Chipping Campden, Broadway and Moreton in the Marsh. Well positioned for long country walks with lots of great pubs for lunches and a quick pint en route! Lauren was exceptional in the run up to our stay, giving us clear instructions and lots of great ideas for local activities. The cottage is beautifully furnished with every detail covered, and well equipped for all our family needs. Great garden for relaxing, BBQ's and for the kids to let off a bit of steam. We would highly recommend a visit.

Jubilee Cotswolds Break

A beautiful cottage, which is very well equipped. The cottage was very comfortable and clean and the location was perfect for us in the pretty village of Blockley. Beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are excellent. The garden has a number of seating areas which are useful. We made use of the Great Western Arms (50 yards away) and the village cafe and both were excellent. Owner is very helpful and provided really good information and recommendations and also provided a lovely hamper that was ready for us on arrival. We would certainly like to use this cottage again and would recommend it to others.

Great home in the heart of the Cotswolds and terrific host

The cottage was ideally situated for a Cotswolds vacation, and the village of Blockley was very cute and non-touristy, with a nice pub and cafe. The house was in excellent condition when we arrived, just as it had appeared in photos. Lauren was a terrific host, answering questions right away and providing excellent suggestions for restaurants, walks, etc. In addition to her usual welcome basket (which was excellent, as noted in many other reviews), she left us a bottle of champagne because she knew we were celebrating a birthday. We especially appreciated the easy parking and how well stocked the kitchen was, in addition to the welcoming fireplace and throws in the living room and the heated bathroom and kitchen floors, which made the house extra cozy. The house was really a comfortable place for 4 adults to come home to each day. We'll be back!

The perfect base for your Cotswolds visit

This is a sterling property wonderfully situated in the most perfect village. Impeccably and thoughtfully restored and equipped. Owners have exceptional taste and thought of everything to make renters comfortable. The kitchen is a marvel of organization. Both bedrooms and bathrooms (we used the third to store our luggage) very spacious and luxurious. Blockley is an ideal place to base your stay in the Cotswolds. It is utterly beautiful, and while very well-located and proximate to the places you want to go, it is somehow off the radar and not heavily touristed. So it provides a very authentic experienced of life there. Laurel provided a wealth of very good recommendations for restaurants, services and sightseeing. The house manual is the best we've ever seen! The pub at the end of the small road where the house is set with two others was closed for two weeks while we were there, but otherwise would have been a great 2-minute walk convenience for meals or pints. Local store has everything. Can't imagine a better place to choose for our stay and feel very lucky we found it.

Best Vacation Rental Yet!! Amazing!

Everything we could have expected, had all of the extras, beautiful setting, Even better than the pictures. We have stayed in several vacation rentals across the US and Europe and this was our favorite one yet. The layout was fantastic for a group of 4 adults and two children. All the finishing were high end. We enjoyed the outdoor space on sunny days and the garden was delightful. The location is perfect. Located in a small Cotswold town, there is a pub across the Street and cafe/general store a short (beautiful)_walk away. There was also a park and playground 100 meters away. The house also had a coloring table and toys for the children to play with. Inside, the kitchen had all of the necessary utensils and the espresso machine was a nice touch. There was plenty of seating in the living space with comfortable chairs. It was a pleasure to stay in this home and it added to a wonderful experience in the Cotswolds.

Living my PBS dream

The house and village are truly an idyllic picture postcard. The house is roomy and wonderfully decorated. Blockley is beautifully charming. It's surrounded by peaceful pastures with sheep. The village is very close to Oxford and London. You can definitely hit Blenheim Palace and Bletchly Park if you want to on your trip. There are lots of great nearby restaurants and walks. I highly recommend Blockley over the larger nearby villages.

The perfect Cotswold cottage

What a picturesque property. Spacious and comfortable, beautifully appointed both inside and out. I can honestly say that the photos do not do it justice. The beds, pillows and the other furniture were all very comfortable. Better than may hotels. The outside space was a welcome respite for drinks and a snack after a day of touring the Cotswolds. The host Lauren was wonderful. Prior to our arrival, she provided a comprehensive list of places to visits as well as places to eat. The welcome basket was over the top and the kitchen was generously stocked as well. We would visit this property again, without question.

Terrific Cotswolds spot

We had a fabulous long weekend stay at "The Lanterns" - from the overflowing welcome basket/provisions to immaculate and spacious accommodations (including a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds!) it was just ideal. The location is a perfect location for touring several Cotswolds towns. Lauren kindly provided an early arrival, and her good suggestions on pubs/shopping, etc made everything work seamlessly. The proximity of a good pub out the front door proved very handy, and Blockley has a great little general store. The walking trails out the back of the cottage were an extra bonus. We were super-impressed all around and will be back!
