The Bath House in Blockley is praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and convenient location next to local amenities. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like provided provisions, though some mention a need for better kitchen equipment and clearer instructions for appliances. The village charm and nearby walking routes are highlights, despite comments about limited parking and occasional noise from the church bells.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the property's spotless condition, contributing to a high cleanliness rating.
The central location is ideal for amenities and exploring local attractions, though parking constraints and church bell noise slightly detract from the experience.
The property is described as cosy and comfortable, especially the bed, but some guests mention the bedroom can be cool, and there's a mention of dampness.
While the property is generally well-received, there are several mentions of inadequate kitchen utensils and a need for better maintenance and clearer appliance instructions.
Guests are delighted by the provisions left for them, such as milk, eggs, and biscuits, adding a touch of thoughtfulness to their stay. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

It was just right for 2 people and a small dog. It was clean and they had provided cleaning materials, tea towel, dish cloth along with washing tabs. Also they left milk, eggs, butter, fresh orange juice, crisps and biscuits which was a lovely touch. Unfortunately we did not have instructions for the microwave/oven which was a bit tricky. It would have been nice to have had a toilet brush and possibly a vacuum to ensure the cottage was left as we had found it. The Great Western is definitely worth a visit, as the welcome by Andy was great and the food was good. The only thing that spoiled it a little was that the church clock struck every hour, all through the night and they had bell-ringing practice every Tuesday and Thursday evenings for 2 hours!!!

Shop 2 secs away and a couple of decent pubs. Plenty of short-mid-long walking routes on the doorstep as well. Cottage itself had everything we needed for 4 nights.

We could have stayed longer as so much to do and places to visit. Would highly recommend the The Bath House to stay in.
