We are a three generational group of seven who hired the cottage for a weekend. We know the village well, so we knew that the location was ideal, being very close to the church, the shop / cafe, and the Great Western Arms, a pub serving food. The cottage is a beautiful building, brought up to date, whilst retaining it’s character. The layout of the ground floor is excellent, with a natural flow between the rooms, providing a very safe environment for children, as they can easily be seen and heard. The cottage is very well appointed, and a lot of thought has gone into making one’s stay pleasant and comfortable. A real bonus is the provision of two, off street, parking spaces. This is particularly helpful as the narrow village streets can become busy with parked cars. It also makes unloading and loading the car much easier. The kitchen is well thought out and spacious. This is most useful as everyone seemed to gravitate there! The beds were very comfortable and everybody slept extremely well. The table tennis room is a very nice touch, making it different from previous rentals. We were very lucky with the weather so we were able to enjoy sitting in the beautiful garden. There is a very comfortable, relaxed, ambience at the cottage.
Extremely adverse weather, prior to our visit, had affected some of the electrics. As advised in the handbook we made contact with the agent. Within minutes, we had a visit from the Landlord, who assessed the problem and immediately contacted an electrician, who attended very promptly. I was very impressed that a potential difficulty was so very quickly resolved. Instead of a drama we met two extra, very pleasant local people. They couldn’t have been more helpful.
I would highly recommend Colebrook Cottage and will certainly book again when we return to Blockley.
