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.

The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. There was everything you could need and more. The location was ideal for visiting lots if lovely places , yet it was in a peaceful setting.

This was a lovely break, our intention was to visit as many of the resorts in the Cotswolds as we could. We have not been disappointed. What a lovely area. The Stepping stones cottage is really clean and comfortable in beautiful surroundings. We couldn't fault it. Just 1 point I would like to make is the cost. At over £700 for 2 people and 2 dogs Is a little bit steep, but saying that It's the time of year and it is a really lovely place. Pat & John from Midlands.

A very tranquil beautiful spot for a comfortable, spacious cottage in picturesque Blockley. All mod cons provided and some lovely views. Ample parking, just follow directions to the letter, easy to miss. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom with shower was luxurious. A wonderful weekend at Stepping Stones!

We had a really relaxing stay in this beautifully decorated and furnished cottage. It’s in a very scenic location in a beautiful Cotswold village. The beds especially were super comfortable!

We were attending a family wedding near Chipping Camden and wanted an accommodation that’ll be big enough for myself, my wife, two grown up children and our dog. We have used Bolthole retreats previously and we’ve never been disappointed. I’m really glad we chose Stepping Stone cottage as it was perfect for our needs. It’s situated kind of reclusively with a couple of other cottages just before you enter the village of Blockley. I mean this in a positive way, but it didn’t seem to be a holiday accommodation, but a homely retreat with all the creature comforts you might find at your own home at your disposal including fast broadband much to my daughters delight. We’re only sorry we couldn’t stay longer. We would have no hesitation in going back there. If I were to be hyper critical, mobile phone reception is poor. I was told by the village shop that only Vodafone works well in the area. Apart from that, great accommodation, nice village and a fantastic base to explore the Cotswolds

We stayed in this lovely cottage for 4 nights this week and cannot say how impressed we were with the property. It had everything we needed and more. It is set amongst lovely gardens along with about 8 or so other properties in a very tranquil setting. It is the middle cottage of three and has lovely lawns both to the front and rear of the property, and a little communal area with a picnic table next to the brook which runs at the back of the cottages. It has a very well equipped kitchen including a Nespresso coffee machine with pods supplied. It has one large double bedroom with a 6 foot bed which was very comfortable and a smaller bedroom with 2 x single beds. A bathroom with shower and bath with towels and toiletries also supplied. Overall we had a really great stay and the cottage is ideally located for touring the superb area of the Cotswolds. We would happily love to stay here again the next time we visit the area.

Totally fell in love with the village of Blockiey & Stepping Stones was a really good place to stay in terms of location in the village. Very clean & comfortable. Only downside was garden furniture was not comfortable enough to sit out other than for a quick drink/bite to eat & the cottage was fairly lacking in sunshine due to the high trees around.

A very well presented cottage in lovely gardens. The village is very picturesque in a great location.

Very comfortable cottage in a quiet and beautiful village. Loved our time here!!

Property was great. Administration not so good. Welcome pack only received when information requested. This omitted details for gaining entrance and directions to the property. Response from Howard to front door key problem was excellent and prompt

Stepping Stones provides a perfect location from which to explore the Cotswolds. It is within easy driving distance to nearby villages, Blenheim, and Stratford-upon-Avon. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable with a beautiful patio area and backyard brook.

The position and surrounding gardens with babbling brook and Willow trees was beautiful. Inside the cottage was welcoming and very well equipped.It was extremely relaxing and peaceful. Blockley was a good centre for exploring the area. A walk in Batsford Arboretum was one of the highlights and Stow on the Wold provided an opportunity for retail therapy in a week of visiting gardens and historic houses galore ———-Hidcote, Kiftsgate,Snowshill, Chasleton Sezincote .All the towns and villages were pretty and The Slaughters definitely not to be missed Add to this glorious Autumn weather.It was perfection.

We stayed for a week in Stepping Stones in August. It was in the lovely quiet village of Blockley but very close to Moreton in Marsh if you want more shops. We loved Blockley shop and found we could get most of what we needed there. The cottage was as advertised. It was just what we wanted . We would go back and recommend it to friends. The outside space isn't large and the wrought iron furniture not that comfortable.

Well equipped, nice extra touches, good clean bathroom, comfy beds, good communication with friendly owners.

We have no complaints about the property itself, being clean, comfortable, well-equipped and with good parking. There are a couple of things that, had we known about them, might have led us to look elsewhere. 1. The photos provided led us to believe that the cottage has an enormous lawn leading down to a pretty brook. In reality that lawn is not part of the property. The garden for the property is tiny and leads to a small ditch protected by nettles. The lawn and pretty brook in the photos can be seen if you stand in the right place and lean a little. 2. The WiFi in the cottage was flaky and disconnected regularly. It gave up entirely for the last two days. I appreciate that these are not things the owner has complete control over but, as I said, if we'd known about them I think we'd have looked elsewhere. Having said that, we did enjoy our stay and would recommend to anyone who wasn't concerned about the WiFi or lawn and brook.

Lovely 2 night stay. Very comfortable cottage, easy to find. The 2 parking spaces were very welcome. The cottage was spotless. The beds were very comfortable both the king size and the singles. There was a welcome bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. The kitchen was very well equipped - we brought some food to cook for the first night - everything we could have wanted and more was there. At night it was so quiet and peaceful - only an owl hooting. WiFi worked well a must with teenagers! Netflix was popular. The coffee maker was a big hit too. We visited the surrounding villages doing the tourist bits. Lots to do in the area. We walked to the local pub for dinner one evening too - highly recommended, great service and good beer too!

Stepping stones is aa very comfortable property, well situated to enjoy the North Cotswolds

A well maintained, well equipped cottage in a lovely location. Would recommend it for either families or couples and would love to return in the future.

Compact and comfortable.Beds exceptionally comfortable and bedrooms very well presented (our two grandchildren loved theirs and the garden views).Peaceful location, the cottage very handy for visiting many of the Cotswold sights.

It was our first visit to Blockley and it took our breath away. The location of the cottage is magical. The cottage itself, although not as old worldly as some of the other buildings in the village, is incredibly comfortable. The beds were perfect, the bed linens wonderful, the furnishings and carpets were all pristine. 2 very convenient parking spaces in front of the cottage. We will definitely return with our dog and children. Nb even easy to use stair gates were provided to keep the dog downstairs.

We had a really lovely weekend at Stepping Stones. It is immaculately clean and really comfortable (especially the beds). We thought the decor pitch- perfect; just the right mix of modernity yet maintaining a cosy cottage feel. The location is perfect too - and soooo quiet. We would definitely recommend this cottage.
