Very comfortable cottage in a great location.

Stepping Stones Cottage is very comfortable and maintained in excellent condition. Our stay was for only two nights, but it is well equipped for much longer visits. The super king size bed was extremely comfortable. Highly recommended.

SHORT STAY AT STEPPING STONES

We have just had a wonderful short stay at Stepping Stones. The location is very nice and the place is lovely. It was ideal for us for our mini break. The surrounding area is very nice and the cottage is very handy for many local attractions. We had a mixture of eating in and eating out and it was convenient for this. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The gardens and the stream are lovely and we loved watching pheasants and squirrels running about. We were very impressed and would love to stay there again, Thank You!

Lovely cottage

We had a lovely short break. The property is very well equipped and had everything we needed. It is a short journey from a number of attractions and a good base to explore from. The beds were lovely and comfortable and we slept well. The wine and milk in the fridge on arrival were much appreciated.

Wonderful and relaxing place to stay

Stepping Stones was an exceptionally clean and very well equipped cottage, boasting everything we needed for our stay. The private parking spaces were a real added bonus! Great location in the village of Blockley which was very pretty and easy access to the local bus service which took us to Moreton in Marsh and Stratford upon Avon. Judith, our host, was most helpful and arranged a slightly earlier check in time which really helped us. My advice……go stay!!

A lovely comfortable cottage in the perfect location

Whilst we did not have the best of weather it did not dent our stay in Stepping Stones cottage. Excellent amenities, a very comfortable bed, excellent shower. A lovely cosy cottage. Its position in a quiet enclave just on the edge of Blockley is perfect and it only takes a few minutes to walk into this delightful village. it was ideal for exploring other villages and towns in The Cotswolds. . When the sun shines, to sit out in the garden, hear the birds singing or walking down to the beautiful brook was so relaxing. We capped off our stay with a delicious fine dining dinner in the village cafe . Definately recommended. If we come back again to the area, we will look no further than Stepping Stones cottage as the place to stay.

Relaxing Break

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Stepping Stones, it is in a lovely quiet corner of the Cotswolds in a small village with a fantastic cafe for afternoon teas etc. The property is perfect for 2 of us and a small dog to stay, and is clean, comfy and has all the facilities we needed. You are quite central and within easy distance to some of the larger cotswold towns for shopping, definitely visit again.

A lovely cottage in a fantastic location

We had a lovely stay in Stepping Stones Cottage. We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet! It was clean and very comfortable with all we needed for a fantastic break. The owners were very quick to resolve a small problem and had done so much in the cottage to help us have a great stay. The surrounding area is beautiful and we were very lucky to be able to enjoy all the spring flowers in glorious sunshine. We will hopefully return.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location

We have enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It’s tastefully decorated. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds.The bathroom has plenty towels and the shower is strong. The views at the back particularly from upstairs bedroom are beautiful. The kitchen has good utensils for cooking. However it needs updating to bring it up to the same standards as the rest of the house.9

Comfortable and spacious

Stepping Stones was a comfortable, clean, spacious property and we really enjoyed our stay. We brought our dog with us and it was easy to have her there. We kept her on the lead in the garden as it is not enclosed and close to a stream, which is too tempting for our labrador! The cottage is well-located, a short walk from the centre of the village and close to walking trails. We loved Blockley cafe for breakfast, lunch or dinner and the Great Western Arms. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely rural cottage

Stepping Stones Cottage was lovely: clean, comfortable, and well-equpped for our self-catering break. It's in a secluded location with little traffic, just the sound of the stream, birds, and church clock. The village shop and cafe were a bonus ( we used the ship though we didn't get time to eat in the cafe). The cottage owners were easy to contact and helpful when there was a problem with dishwasher. We could happily have stayed a few more days, as there is plenty to explore within easy reach.

Second stay this year

We love Stepping Stones and have just enjoyed our second short break there this year. Blockley is a beautiful village and the Cotswolds a fabulous area with lots to do and see. The cottage is lovely and contains everything to make one’s stay feel like a home-from-home. It’s set in a small private, secluded area with just a few others homes. At the rear of the property is a babbling stream with a stunning church in the background. We would definitely recommend it.

95 out of 100 great cottage

We have returned here many times as it’s a great cottage in a good location Only minor issue is the creaky stairs as l sometimes wake my wife when I go to bed. I know it’s old but a few screws could fix it.

Lovely Blockley

Cottage in beautiful quiet private location. Cottage was homely with all you need for a comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen, bedrooms were nicely decorated and bedding and towels supplied. Master bedroom was a a great size with lovely large bed. We had an issue with a cold radiator in bedroom but contacted the owner who arranged for the handyman to come and fix. Jace turned up promptly and fixed the problem. We did have an issue trying to use the Tv and Netflix and sadly the instructions in the booklet did not work, this didn't ruin our stay but would be good if instructions could be updated I would definitely recommend Stepping Stones.

A charming and peaceful retreat.

Stepping Stones is beautifully situated in Blockley, a pretty village in the Cotswolds. The owners had thoughtfully left decorations for Christmas, the accommodation was extremely comfortable, and it was an excellent base from which to walk and explore during Christmas. The house was very well equipped, both in the kitchen and throughout the living accommodation. One or two things need to be brought to the owner’s attention: The freezer was badly iced up, and needs defrosting. The rails and tray in the oven were dirty. The TV channels were difficult to access, and access to Netflix etc was impossible. Otherwise - a very enjoyable stay. Thank you.
