Location Information

The Cosh is situated on a working smallholding outside the picturesque village of Blockley. The village is home to two fabulous pubs, one being The Crown, a much-loved village shop and café, and an array of scenic walks, and is perfectly located for visiting places such as Daylesford Organic, Batsford Arboretum, Broadway Tower and Hidcote Gardens. If you fancy a visit to the local towns, we would highly recommend Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold and Broadway, all of which have an array of boutique shops and eateries.

For your shopping essentials, there is the shop in the village and other larger supermarkets in the nearby town of Moreton-in-Marsh.
Blockley sits in the North Cotswolds which is a great location for visiting the historical town of Stratford-upon-Avon, Winchcombe, home to Sudeley Castle, and for a day out, Oxford is just an hour away... find out many more things to do in the Cotswolds on our blog!

5/5

We hired The Cosh for my daughters 50th birthday family party. There were 12 of us and we all agreed the house was great for this occasion. Very spacious accommodation upstairs and downstairs. As the weather was hot we spent a lot of time outside where there was plenty of tables, chairs and couches. (an umbrella would have been welcome as it was so hot) It was lovely first thing in the morning sitting outside listening to the stream bubbling away at the bottom of the garden and listening to the birds. Can thoroughly recommend this house for large family get togethers. Very well equipped and good quality linen and towels Small children may find the open staircase a bit challenging There was a large fridge but a smaller fridge for drinks (maybe in the utility area) would have been good Also slip mats in the showers would be handy as we found the shower floors a bit slippery

A group of friends met at the Cosh for a relaxing weekend get together. Every guest was very impressed with the accommodation, everything we needed was provided. We loved our stay and the layout meant that we could retreat and spend time alone or with our friends. We loved the open plan layout and the space it provided. The location was just what we needed for peace and quiet and the opportunity to catch up.

5/5

We really appreciated everything The Cosh had to offer for a whole family stay. There was plenty of room for all ages (upstairs was the youngsters' base) and the table tennis and pool were invaluable. Kitchen facilities were excellent, breakfast bar the centre of grazing for the permanently hungry. Bedrooms good, bathrooms really nice. The support from Deb and Susan was excellent - they went out of their way to help. We had a dog with us and wondered if some sort of temporary/flexible fencing could be available to block off the lawn so that we could create a confined space and be able to leave the side door open?
