Beautiful property in a charming town
We stayed for two nights at The Glen and had the most wonderful time - the house itself is beautiful, including the garden. The kitchen is well equipped with any cooking utensils one would need. The private parking is also ideal. Blockley is such a charming place, we'll definitely be back.

Lovely stay in beautiful accommodation
Very well equipped and spacious accommodation - it comfortably accommodated us all - 6 adults.
Everything you could possibly need was in the kitchen, and in fact in the whole house. The weather was good so we were able to sit out in the lovely garden too. Beautiful village location with easy access to the surrounding countryside and attractions. Definitely would recommend The Glen

Beautiful house in superb location
We had a fantastic weekend in the Glen, such a well-equipped kitchen and everything we could need. We all loved the place with its nooks and crannies and old beams, felt right at home and didn't want to leave. The place was immaculately clean. We had one problem with a broken loo seat, phoned the number and spoke to Chris who was round with a new one immediately. Could not fault it at all. We hope to be back.

Beautiful home
This was a great find and perfect place to stay for a weekend away. This home is super comfortable and well equipment for a larger group of guests. Ideal for both adults and children. The garden was stunning and the only downside for us was we had terrific rain all weekend, which prevented us using it to its full advantage. The house was well located in a beautiful Cotswolds village, easily in reach/walk of a hotel/restaurant , pub and cafe/restaurant. The walks round here are great and straight into the beautiful countryside. I’m sure we will be back again soon enough.
Second visit to the Glen. Tired lounge sofa and lack of the nices touches such as throws let the place down,These days there is a lot of choice around and we have used alot of holiday lets and mosy really do make the extra effort with extra touches ,sadly not at the Glen.Kitcthen is well stocked and was 2 lovely local pubs ,if this was a Hotel we was hoping for 5 star but would rate 3.,owners/renter needs a fresh pair of eye's, freshen up a bit and those extra touches would bring us back a 3rd time

Fantastic
I have just had the best holiday ever, The Glen is beautiful, so clean, a welcome pack was left for us, we couldn’t stop saying wow, all rooms were en-suite which was perfect for us, it was so quiet and peaceful in the large garden, there were deck chairs and a bbq in the shed, the kitchen wanted for nothing brilliant large fridge and a freezer, great cooker and so many pots and pans, the beds were so comfy I took photos so I could buyone for home, the quaintness was what we like in a cottage 100% satisfied with every thing, I can highly recommend it and would go again, the walks round the village were a bonus terrific x

La casa nos ha parecido estupenda en todos los sentidos, cómoda, bien ubicada, con jardín para disfrutar del buen tiempo. La información por parte de la agencia ha sido muy buena en todo momento, han estado pendientes hasta el último momento. Nos ha encantado la experiencia. Sin duda volveríamos a alojarnos en The Glen. Gracias por todo.
