"This was a very comfortable, warm and beautifully renovated house."
The three bedrooms are of good size and there is an extra small room on the top floor with space for a single mattress. Very pretty village and house is located almost next to the church. Plenty of walks from the house.

"Beautiful home in lovely Blockley."
Loved the full washing machine and dryer, and full kitchen with some fresh food provided (milk, butter, bread; also basics salt, pepper, flour, olive oil). We only used one of the three bedrooms. Would be nice to have a toilet downstairs. All else very comfortable and nice. Close to the church, local store and pub. Very relaxing! Front door lock is a little difficult to maneuver but we managed.
Thank you for your feedback. Sounds like you had a lovely stay. Hopefully we can welcome you back to Ashton House again in the future Property Owner

"We booked this property at short notice at a reduced rate."
We are an elderly couple and normally would not stay in a larger accommodation but found the property excellently appointed and met all our needs. The parking was a bonus and the village cafe & shop just a short walk away through the church yard. We had dinner twice, including curry night ,at the Crown Hotel nearby which was very good. The bed was very comfortable & we slept well.We would have chosen the rear bedroom but approximately three steps separated this from the shower room so access was better from the front bedroom. (For the elderly ) Would definitely recommend this house for a family or friends Stuart Wale
Thank you for the feedback. Happy to hear the property met all your needs and you had a lovely time. Property Owner

"The property is lovely, plenty of space for the 6 of us and the kids loved the park in the village."
There were just a few things that would have made the stay perfect. The bed in the master bedroom is so hard, and this is coming from someone with a firm bed at home, I hardly slept. Also, the toilet seat in the family bathroom is coming lose and could do with repairing, didn’t effect our stay but just fyi. And finally, a couple more lamps in the dining/living area would also be good, as it’s too dark with the two small lamps on, but then too bright with the main lights. Otherwise, a lovely stay at Ashton House.
Thank you for your feedback and I’m pleased you had a lovely stay. Feedback like this really helps us to improve the service for future guests. The toilet seat has been adjusted and we’re adding some lighting next week! In terms of the firmness of the Master bed, it is not something I’ve noticed but it is noted, thank you. Hopefully we can welcome you back to Ashton House in the future. Property Owner

"We booked a four night stay in Ashton house for a break in the north Cotswolds."
The house was beautifully presented and provided a lovely base to explore the area. Blockley village was a great place to stay and the house is minutes walk away from a very nice cafe and local grocery shop, as well as the picturesque Norman church. We would highly recommend Ashton House if you are looking for accommodation in the area.

"Four of us stayed at Ashton house earlier this week for 3 nights."
The cottage was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Plenty of space but cosy, we ate out but did use the kitchen a few times, had everything we needed. Lovely village and we were able to park outside the property. Super cafe/shop to be found a short stroll through the church. Easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. We all loved our stay at Ashton House.
Thanks for the feedback, sounds like you had a lovely time. Property Owner

"Ashton House is a beautiful cottage, so cosy and relaxing and tastefully decorated."
Fabulous fire that made those evenings more cosy. Set in the beautiful blockley village which is picturesque as are the surrounding cotswold villages making it a lovely place to stay close or travel around the cotswolds. Fantastic shower very powerful. Fantastic comfortable bed to sleep in. I had a very quick response from Sean from.the management company and Alex the owner who were helpful with a query I had. Highly recommend I will be coming back

"Wonderful break away celebrating our daughters 21st."
Cottage is beautiful, bigger than expected. Blockley is a stunning village to stay in, the cottage is situated by the church making an idyllic location. Beds comfy, wood burner going, glass of wine in hand…..could live here quite happily!! We will return!

"Can’t recommend Ashton House highly enough!"
A spacious, beautifully finished property that exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and the finishes used were exceptional. The beds and settees the best quality and everything felt like a luxury hotel. The appliances in the kitchen were such good quality that ended up enjoying cooking and rarely ate out. We even did some Christmas baking with the kids. Shower powerful and good quality and bath great for the kids. Loved how the owners have designed this renovation, the living room was cosy for film nights and dining room furniture is beautiful. Blockley is a wonderful village, we discovered some great walks thanks to booklets at the cottage and the pubs and cafe were friendly and welcoming. It’s the first time we have stayed in a village with no car park and we did panic on the first day however we dropped bags off and got used to parking by the park and walking through the church yard. Every so often there was a space outside the cottage. Neighbours were friendly and didn’t mind us unloading. Overall, perfect stay and would highly recommend.
Thanks for the lovely feedback and we’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. Hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

"This was the ideal setting for our family new years break."
The cottage itself is fantastic, located in a beautiful little village. The owner was very helpful, and answered our questions promptly. The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The living area very cozy with the log burner and a nice glass of red as we sat round with the kids. Kitchen well equipped and nice touch with the basics provided as well as fresh milk and bread. Good to have standard toiletries provided too. The local cafe is about 60seconds walk and sooo nice, and The Great Western pub is about 5 mins walk, with good food, atmosphere and a really warm welcome! Overall a fantastic place to bring in the new year!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ashton House."
It was clean and comfortable and suited us location-wise perfectly. It would have been a lovely touch to have found milk in the fridge on our arrival - whenever we’ve hired other cottages there have always been provisions kindly left, which are a welcome touch. In a similar vein, we’ve always found shampoo and conditioner provided in other properties. And, as a final point, it would have been lovely to have been able to park outside the property, esp when unpacking or packing the car up. Could you place a cone there to reserve the space for residents?
I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay in Ashton House. Thank you for your feedback, we've made a few improvements to the service already off the back of it. With regards to parking, unfortunately we are unable to reserve a space with a traffic cone (we would quickly become unpopular with local residents and understandably so) but there is usually parking alongside the park near the cafe if there isn't any outside the property. Have a wonderful Christmas and we would love to welcome you back to Ashton House in the future. Property Owner

"Lovely property; great location; clean and reasonably well equipped."
Parking not great during the day; real struggle to find anywhere to park when we arrived. Parking on the lower road and walking up through the church yard an option if nothing closer. The tea room is popular, for good reason, so a lot of visitors in the area. Could do with a fireplace companion set and glove. No welcome pack (which is usually common these days in most cottages we’ve stopped at; however the shop is well stocked), although there was the makings of a fire for a night. Otherwise enjoyed our stay. The cafe and shop are great and very convenient. Lots to see and do around the Cotswolds.
I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay in Ashton House. Thank you for your feedback, it really helps. We made a few improvements to the service off the back of it. Best wishes. Property Owner

"A quirky stay in a beautiful well situated location."
The attractive property is decorated and furnished to a high standard and well provisioned! The added extras of a travel cot and highchair are great for families with young children. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would revisit in a heart beat. The property is close to Broadway Tower and several National Trust locations, most of which were only within a 10-15 min drive. Excellent!
Really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Ashton House and explored some of the nearby attractions. Hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
