Blockley is a delightful golden stone village, situated within the rolling hills of the North Cotswolds between Moreton-in-Marsh (with direct rail links to London Paddington) and Chipping Campden, with an abundance of walks over the surrounding countryside. Blockley's beautiful church, churchyard and vicarage are used for the filming of "Father Brown", a period BBC detective drama. The village boasts many other historic buildings including a converted water mill along the brook; a fabulous community run café and well stocked shop and two pubs within walking distance. Also nearby are Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway, and Bourton-on-the-Water.

B, J & Freya the dog
A lovely week despite the intense heatwave! A great base for exploring the Cotswolds, and lovely for our cockapoo to have the park just across the road. A shame we didn't find the brook dog bathing area until nearly our last day but a lovely suprise! The Ebrington Arms is great for Sunday lunch, the local cafe does good food, and so many cafes around. Batsford Park a good walk, and worth seeing. Broadway, Bourton on the Water, and The Slaughters all worth a visit!

A lovely week despite the intense heat which meant we had to hide indoors for 3 afternoons. 34 degrees outside today so no enjoying the conservatory!

We have had another lovely stay at Little Shrublands! We brought our son here at 8 months old, and at 5 years old he is still loving every minute of being here! This time he loved playing in the garden in the sunshine and playing monopoly. We also love the cosiness of the cottage - it is so well equipped with everything we need to cook family meals. Using the barbecue was nice this time in the heatwave! We look forward to comin gback and creating more memories soon! xxx
