Gorgeous 17th Century Cotswold Stone Cottage, in Blockley (a Picture Postcard Village, in the heart of the North Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Historically the Old Coach House to a Manor House, which has been stunningly renovated and restored into what can now only be described as your very own Luxury Escape from the World of hustle and bustle.

The Interior is both Contemporary and Classic, with that real Home from Home English Country Feel to it.

The Cottage has had a complete Interior Makeover, which has been meticulously designed and planned out by the owner (also an Interior Designer) who has owned a couple of other Holiday Properties and is basing the Look and Feel of this little Gem, on many of her own travel experiences and selecting all the best ingredients to make your time at Lanterns as comfortable, relaxed and enjoyable as possible.

The end result is like staying in your very own Private Boutique Hotel -( without the staff or the Restaurant in house ! ) with no other guests accept you and your friends or family to spend your time away with.

Perfectly located right in the heart of the most gorgeous English Countryside (you can't really get much more quintessentially English than this Village, and it is still very much a Lived in Village with just a handful of Holiday Cottages, together with 1 Hotel, a thriving and sought after Pub (within a stones throw from the cottage), a delightful Village Shop and a great little Cafe, offering scurmptions breakfasts / lunches and occassional evening events, if you don't want to cook or travel too far.

Blockley itself is a delight, and used to have 12 Mills back in the day, many of which can still be found, around the Babbling Blockley Brook . (a place to make great memories for Children and Adults alike). There are numerous walks from the gentle near by paths to the fabulous planned routes all across the stunning Cotswold Countryside. (Do bring your Wellingtons / Walking Boots if you can !)

Detached Stone Cottage,
Hand Made / Hand Painted Kitchen with all the main appliances you will need for your stay (Range Oven, Fridge, Freezer, Microwave, Washer/Dryer, Dishwasher, Kettle, Toaster, Nespresso Coffee Machine, Fully equipped with most of the items you would probably need for a Home from Home break away, and most equipment available too for any budding cooks out there).

Private Walled Garden with 2 Patio Areas (one lower and one upper to catch the last rays of the evening sun, with a BBQ on upper level too).

Parking for 2 Cars (if more parking needed there is free on street parking nearby).

Walk to Pub (it's just over the road, couldn't get much more handy), Village centre a short walk away, Childrens Play Park just a stones throw away too, beautiful babbling brooks and surrounding countryside to take your breath away all around you.

Blockley is one of the Cotswolds hidden Secrets, away from the busier Tourist Towns, but close enough to visit them all without being in the car for hours.

    A beautiful and cosy cottage, perfect for a restorative break in the Cotswolds in November. The village is a gem and the owner was very helpful in suggested some wonderful places to visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Beautiful Cotswold cottage! Perfect place to stay. Well equipped, perfect location, very comfortable and luxurious for a family of 6 with teenager's and grandparents to accommodate. Lauren was excellent at communicating, and we all wished our stay could have been longer. Thanks for the welcome gifts and the chance to stay in your lovely house.

    Blockely is a beautiful, quiet little town and the pub across the street made for a perfect place for our family to land at the end of every day. The cottage was perfect, and there was a lovely little welcome gift awaiting us. We enjoyed every second!

    This cottage was lovely. It was decorated nicely and had a near mixture of old charm and modern beauty and comfort. It was very hot while we were there, so we were thankful for the fans in each bedroom. The beds were comfortable, the outdoor spaces were so pretty, and the little luxurious touches like the soaps, welcome basket, and room fragrances were so nice. The surfaces and linens were clean, but it could use a deeper clean to get rid of cobwebs and such. We had a truly wonderful stay and also enjoyed the quaint little town of Blockley. It was peaceful and quiet, and the shop had enough grocery items to meet our needs. It was a good location, central to many other villages in the Cotswolds. Our family of five was very happy in this cottage!

    Lovely cottage with everything you need to enjoy your Cotswolds adventure! Blockley was a charming village to use as a home base for our explorations. The house was perfectly appointed for our family, we cooked a few meals, and really relaxed for a few days during our vacation. Would definitely return, if we are ever in the area!

    This charming cottage in the Cotswolds was absolutely wonderful. Clean and well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The beds were all very comfortable and the location serene and peaceful. Great location to see the popular villages in the Cotswolds as well as easy parking. We loved our time there.

    Our family stayed 5 nights at Lauren’s property. The accommodations and layout of the property were perfect for our 1 year, 3 year old, my husband and I, plus grandparents. There was a welcome basket from Lauren when we arrived. The property is walking distance to several trails and a local pub. We also loved the outdoor garden and table.Thank you Lauren for your hospitality and a wonderful stay!

    We loved our stay! Everything about this cottage was luxurious. From gorgeous and extremely well appointed kitchen, the incredibly comfortable beds, the bathrooms, the outdoor patios, the fresh flowers, and the very thoughtful welcome basket! It was very peaceful. We woke to church bells ringing in the distance, birds singing, and watched the sun rise while making our morning espresso with the Nespresso machine. We ate at the local pub which was right across the street. Very yummy and great service. It was the perfect home base to explore the Cotswolds. Thank you so much to our host! We had everything we needed. We will tell our friends and family and we hope to be back soon!

    The house and village are truly an idyllic picture postcard. The house is roomy and wonderfully decorated. Blockley is beautifully charming. It's surrounded by peaceful pastures with sheep. The village is very close to Oxford and London. You can definitely hit Blenheim Palace and Bletchly Park if you want to on your trip. There are lots of great nearby restaurants and walks. I highly recommend Blockley over the larger nearby villages.

    This is a sterling property wonderfully situated in the most perfect village. Impeccably and thoughtfully restored and equipped. Owners have exceptional taste and thought of everything to make renters comfortable. The kitchen is a marvel of organization. Both bedrooms and bathrooms (we used the third to store our luggage) very spacious and luxurious. Blockley is an ideal place to base your stay in the Cotswolds. It is utterly beautiful, and while very well-located and proximate to the places you want to go, it is somehow off the radar and not heavily touristed. So it provides a very authentic experienced of life there. Laurel provided a wealth of very good recommendations for restaurants, services and sightseeing. The house manual is the best we've ever seen! The pub at the end of the small road where the house is set with two others was closed for two weeks while we were there, but otherwise would have been a great 2-minute walk convenience for meals or pints. Local store has everything. Can't imagine a better place to choose for our stay and feel very lucky we found it.

    The Lanterns was a wonderful house for our family of six. After eating out for 12 straight days, it was a perfect place to cook with a great kitchen and outdoor grill! Lauren, our host was a big help with suggestions of nearby restaurants and grocery stores. She also handled a slight plumbing issue very quickly! The neighbors were very nice as well. We would definitely stay here again and love a return to the Cotswolds!

    A quiet country cottage in a quaint small village was everything we hoped for. Great host and great home. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice home without the tourist crowds but close enough to drive to all the beauty the Cotswold offer.

    We had a wonderful week in Blockley. The cottage was so comfortable with every amenity we needed. The village was great with an excellent pub, a village shop and a cafe with a terrific chef. There were lovely walks and it was a great location for our day trips out and about.
