A stone's throw from the centre of Blockley, grade II listed Red Lion Cottage sits above the quiet high street. Its golden Cotswold stone exterior welcomes you in to relax and unwind in this unspoilt part of the country.
You step into the open-plan living/dining room and find yourselves instantly easing into the holiday spirit. Finished with a country cottage style you can put your feet up in front of the woodburner which sits in an impressive stone inglenook. The dining area here is perfect for family meals after a busy day out and about. At the rear of the cottage the kitchen is a surprise with its double-height ceiling and open stone walls adding character to this historic building. With two comfortable double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which has a freestanding slipper bath, this cottage is a wonderfully romantic retreat for couples.
From the kitchen you can take drinks out onto the hidden terrace. This secluded spot catches the sun making it a lovely place to enjoy an evening chat or a morning cup of coffee. With the charms of Blockley on your doorstep you don't need to venture too far. Walking trails lead you out into the countryside, you can visit the local pubs or just spend time together at Red Lion Cottage. If you are heading out for the day, Broadway, Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden are excellent choices and there are a host of attractions nearby.
