Stepping Stones is an elegant cottage with plenty of traditional charm, offering a simple yet cosy living space for families and couples alike to unwind in. Family and dog friendly, it's the perfect escape for those in search of easy country living with the benefits of village amenities on the doorstep, with miles and miles of unspoilt Cotswold landscape to enjoy. Dog-friendly, canine guests will love the easy garden access, not to mention the meandering stream that can be found tucked away at the bottom of the garden. Ground Floor Entrance Hall: Stepping into the cottage's useful internal porch, you will find a pretty, antique wooden pew - the perfect spot to ease your walking shoes on and off - an umbrella stand, coat hooks and a handy mirror. Living Room: The cosy, bright living room overlooks the cottage's front garden, where there's a double seat to sit and enjoy the garden and birdsong. Exposed beams, country cream hues and a wood burner effect electric fire give the room a classic cottage feel. Comfortably seating up to four guests in front of the fire on two sink-in sofas, the living room is elegant and cosy. The fireside seating is complemented with a long, padded footstool, bright tartan curtains and quirky cushions and a TV stand housing a 55" Smart TV with Netflix and Blu-ray DVD player, plus games, puzzles and a selection of DVDs. Next to the main seating area, heading towards the kitchen, is a large bookcase with a wide selection of novels and guide books with an armchair and reading light - the perfect spot to plan the next day's activities! Kitchen/Dining Area: Leading through from the living room to the rear of the cottage is a very well-equipped kitchen-diner, benefitting from sweeping views of the cottage's beautiful rear garden. Decorated in a classic farmhouse style, with sleek grey tiles and a slate tile floor, in here you'll find all you need for a self-catered stay, including an oven and induction hob, dishwasher, microwave, built-in fridge/freezer, washing machine and plenty of bakeware, crockery and glassware for guests' use. An attractive oak dining table and seating offer the perfect place to enjoy a feast, sat alongside the French doors, which open directly on to the patio (with two bistro tables and 4 chairs) and the garden, perfect for enjoying a sunrise or sunset. First Floor Bedroom One: Overlooking the front of the house is the Master Bedroom, a spacious double room perfect for couples, with its own 40" flat-screen TV. The centrepiece of the room is the super-king bed with its sumptuous duvet and pillows, complemented with a large, built-in wardrobe, dressing table and elegant armchair. Decorated in a sunny yellow hue, this bedroom has a calming bright feel with lovely views over the shared garden to the front of the cottage. This elegant bedroom provides more than enough room for a couple to relax and enjoy the space in great comfort. Bedroom Two: Sitting across the landing, to the cottage's rear, is Bedroom 2, a twin room ideal for a couple, two friends or younger guests. This room also boasts plenty of space, with two single beds (placed at opposite ends for more privacy), two dressing tables and a built-in wardrobe. Benefitting from beautiful views over the cottage's garden and out towards the church in the centre of the village, guests will love perching by the low-lying windowsill and watching the local wildlife enjoying the brook that runs along the edge of the garden. Family Bathroom: The cottage's family bathroom sits conveniently between Bedrooms 1 and 2 and features a full-length bath and double-headed shower, heated towel rail, sink with mirror and shaver's socket and dual flush toilet. Elegant charcoal grey wall tiling beautifully complements the mosaic-style flooring creating a relaxing spa-like bathroom finished with thoughtful and luxurious touches, including candles and Pecksniff's bath soap. Outside One of a row of three cottages, within an attractive modern barn conversion, Stepping Stones is framed by beautiful shared gardens to its front and side with a small, private patio and access to the large shared garden to its rear, affording it a wonderful feeling of privacy. It's in the back garden where Stepping Stones' magic really comes alive, thanks to the famous Blockley Brook, which meanders directly along the edge of the rear garden. Stepping Stones' garden area is small in size but feels much larger thanks to the sweeping village views it benefits from, separated from its neighbouring houses by discreet fencing. Stepping Stones also boasts a small patio area with two bistro-style tables and four seats, accessible via the kitchen's French doors, making it perfect for al fresco sundowners after a busy day exploring the Cotswolds. The brook is a haven for local birds, ducks and wildlife, younger guests will love wiling away the hours paddling at the brook's shore, whilst older guests can relax on the patio with the gentle sounds of the brook in the background. The property has two designated parking spaces. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Netflix - Streaming services - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Furnished patio - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Guidebooks - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 861 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35600000/35594600/35594554/63f9f298.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Period cottage in idyllic riverside location in prime Cotswolds village Lower Slaughter - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=35594554&PinnedHotelID=35594554&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71760000/71753400/71753314/78a60088.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Honeysuckle Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Blockley - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=71753314&PinnedHotelID=71753314&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66850000/66840600/66840515/4588b07f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Little Window, Classic Cotswolds Cottage Gloucestershire - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Fireplace - Microwave 9.2 Wonderful 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=66840515&PinnedHotelID=66840515&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/42000000/41530000/41526600/41526597/e5c8788a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Picturesque: 17th century country house in Kingham Chipping Norton - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 7.4 Good 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=41526597&PinnedHotelID=41526597&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89860000/89855600/89855521/f8c74134.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Two bedroom holiday cottage in the Cotswolds - Honeysuckle Cottage, Blockley Blockley - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=89855521&PinnedHotelID=89855521&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33579700/33579628/e881164b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Quaint Grade 11 Listed Detached Stone Cottage In Lower Slaughter with parking.

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.

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 ##### Darren S.

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. ##### David H.

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. ##### David B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter A. 7 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cottage A very well presented cottage in lovely gardens.

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. ##### Sheila F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne H., Canada 25 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Idyllic spot 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. ##### Joanne H.
