Full Description
Sage Cottage is a quintessential Cotswold home, set in a village that exudes charm and community atmosphere. Tucked away on Blockley’s peaceful High Street, it sits amongst a row of pretty Cotswold stone cottages and stretches across three floors, with a raised garden at the rear.

On the ground floor, the kitchen is a bright and welcoming space, ready to be filled with the sounds of family gatherings and home-cooked meals. A dedicated coffee corner, complete with a Sage bean-to-cup machine, ensures the perfect start to the day for coffee lovers. The open-plan sitting and dining area is ideal for shared meals that can flow out onto the terrace in warmer months. The reading nook offers a cosy retreat after countryside walks or local adventures and children can enjoy their own space in the snug with its wood burner and TV. There is a handy utility hidden away to one side where you can do any necessary laundry and there's a cloakroom at the end. Upstairs, two beautifully styled bedrooms await on the first floor, one with an en-suite, alongside a family bathroom featuring a roll-top clawfoot bath. French-style furnishings and calm, considered colours continue the cottage’s serene aesthetic. The master bedroom occupies the second floor, complete with a super-king-size bed and en-suite shower room, providing a quiet retreat to read, relax, and enjoy the village views from the window.

Outside, the terraced garden is perfect for al fresco meals or simply soaking up the tranquil pace of village life. BBQs are thoughtfully positioned on the terrace and near the patio doors for convenience. From the front door, walks weave through Blockley and beyond to Broad Campden and Chipping Campden, while a short drive opens up Regency Cheltenham Spa, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, or Stratford-upon-Avon.

Reviews

Sage Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay with our daughters, their partners and our dog. It is really well equipped, with plenty of space for six adults. It’s in the heart of a beautiful Cotswolds village too, with lovely walks accessible from the doorstep. The Victoria sponge cake was an added bonus!

We had a great stay at Sage Cottage! The location was great, and the house was perfect for 3 adult couples. The interior was like something out of an interior design magazine. And on the kitchen counter, there was a cake for us, in addition to tea and coffee. We were very happy!

We had a very comfortable stay at Sage Cottage, we would highly recommend the cafe/restaurant in the village, excellent food. The cottage is handy to see plenty of the Cotswold villages and is only 40 minutes to the Cotswold Safari Park, well worth a visit.

A great stay! Perfect location for all the tourist villages and a stones throw away from the most amazing cafe with a local store for all your needs. The walks were fantastic and the village beautiful and quiet. A short stroll from the local pub who were super friendly. A home from home vibe.

It was better than what we expected. I loved this place so much. Our family made so many precious little memories. It is cosy and quaint, has its quirks but so does every home with character. We loved the location as it's tucked away at the end of the road, the walk to 'town' was a highlight of mine every morning. If you're questioning about staying in Blockley I say book the place and you won't be sorry.

I stayed here for 3 nights with my family of four and the grandparents. We were thrilled with the property - it certainly felt 5 star! Everyone had their own space, it was so much bigger than photos showed, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of every room and bathroom. We had beautiful weather so even made use of the garden terrace for sunset drinks. We made use of the recommendations, walking to the cafe, kids park and country pub. We would definitely stay here again and will certainly use the bolthole portfolio for our next stay.

Location

Blockley offers a picture-perfect escape for those looking to explore the Cotswolds yet stay away from the crowds. The village rose to prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries as a centre for the English silk industry, and it lies within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, tucked into a valley away from the usual tourist trails. The Norman church, St Peter and St Paul’s, featured in the Father Brown series where it became the fictional St Mary’s church in Kembleford and the centre of period detective mysteries. There is a fantastic community-run village shop and café and the Great Western Arms pub, both just a short stroll away. It is ideal for exploring the North Cotswolds and with plenty of beautiful walks directly from the front door.
