Wonderful, cozy stay

Our family stayed 5 nights at Lauren’s property. The accommodations and layout of the property were perfect for our 1 year, 3 year old, my husband and I, plus grandparents. There was a welcome basket from Lauren when we arrived. The property is walking distance to several trails and a local pub. We also loved the outdoor garden and table.Thank you Lauren for your hospitality and a wonderful stay!

Wonderful cottage. Everything superb.

A quiet country cottage in a quaint small village was everything we hoped for. Great host and great home. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice home without the tourist crowds but close enough to drive to all the beauty the Cotswold offer.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Glorious Cotswold Luxury Cottage

We loved our stay! Everything about this cottage was luxurious. From gorgeous and extremely well appointed kitchen, the incredibly comfortable beds, the bathrooms, the outdoor patios, the fresh flowers, and the very thoughtful welcome basket! It was very peaceful. We woke to church bells ringing in the distance, birds singing, and watched the sun rise while making our morning espresso with the Nespresso machine. We ate at the local pub which was right across the street. Very yummy and great service. It was the perfect home base to explore the Cotswolds. Thank you so much to our host! We had everything we needed. We will tell our friends and family and we hope to be back soon!

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!!

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.
