Stepping into the tranquil retreat of Sage Cottage you are immersed in this calm country cottage setting. Throughout there are exposed beams, shuttered windows, and fresh white walls accented with soft sage greens and natural tones. You can bring the outdoors in by opening the patio doors in the open-plan living area and enjoy the village views from the front of the cottage. Spread across three floors there is space for your group to spend time together, or apart. Walks from the door take you through neighbouring woods and on your return you can spend time talking around the wood burner. Sage Cottage in Blockley is a place to treasure time spent together in a beautifully serene part of the country.
Full Description
Sage Cottage is a true Cotswold home in a village setting which has a wonderful sense of community. Set on the quiet High Street you arrive through the muddling streets of Blockley. One of a row of similar properties, Sage Cottage covers three floors with a raised garden behind.

The ground floor has a wonderful kitchen which is waiting to be filled with the delicious smells of baking and cooking while children spend time together in the living room. An open-plan sitting and dining area with a skylight is where you’ll spend your evenings with meals extending into drinks on the terraced patio outside. Coming back from walks and visits to nearby landmarks the snug has a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace and is a room which fills you with comfort. Up on the first floor are two bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a showstopping bathroom with a large rolltop clawfoot bath. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully decorated with wooden furniture and a tranquil colour scheme in keeping with the cottage’s name. The master bedroom on the second floor takes you away from the rest of the cottage with a super-king-size bed which you’ll adore. With an en-suite shower room you will spend more time than you’d expect up here reading, relaxing, and watching the village through the window.

Outside, the terraced garden is perfect for eating meals outside, or just listening to the birds. From the front door there are numerous walks you can enjoy in the nearby vicinity of Blockley or further to Broad Campden and Chipping Campden. A short drive brings you to Regency Cheltenham Spa, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton or further north to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Ground Floor


Kitchen:
This delightful kitchen has fresh white units, stone tiled floors and wooden worktops and beams giving the traditional cottage style a contemporary edge. Preparing meals you will feel at home in this well-laid-out kitchen with an oven, hob, Belfast sink and enough worktop space. Displayed artwork by local artists shows the nearby woods for a glimpse of the walks you can enjoy.

Living/Dining Room:
Two steps up from the kitchen is the open-plan living/dining room with a comfortable sitting area and six-seater dining table. A skylight above the sitting area makes this space light and airy where your group can watch TV after enjoying your homecooked meals. Sections of exposed stone wall contrast with the relaxed decor showing the cottage’s past. Patio doors take you out to the raised garden.

Utility/Cloakroom:
From beside the dining area is a utility where you’ll find the washing machine and an additional fridge with a small freezer space. At the end of this room is a cloakroom with a WC and sink.

Snug:
Two steps down from the living room is the cosy snug with a wood burner in a large inglenook fireplace. This room is more traditional with the wooden exposed beams a real feature above the flagstone floor. Enjoy an evening glass of wine, catch up with some work at the desk or just curl up in front of the fire. The mullioned window looks out over the quiet village high street.

First Floor


Bedroom One:
The first bedroom is perfect for children with twin beds and a relaxing sage colour scheme. There is a decorative fireplace and a window seat where you can gaze at the village scene between the shutters and try to spot the sheep in the adjacent field.

Bedroom Two:
Up a couple of steps is the second bedroom with a king-size bed sitting under a high ceiling and wooden beams. Overlooking the garden this is a peaceful room with the added convenience of an en-suite.

En-Suite Shower Room:
A surprising feature in this room is the open stonework behind the mirror which gives this room character. There is a shower, WC and sink so you have your own private space to get ready in the morning.

Bathroom:
The main bathroom is a spacious spa-style retreat with a luxurious rolltop clawfoot bath. You will find yourself spending hours here in this tranquil setting. Alongside the bath there is also a shower, WC and sink.

Second Floor


Bedroom Three:
This master bedroom up under the eaves will be fought over with its super-king-size bed. The whitewashed wooden floor, panelled cupboard and blue and green soft furnishings give this room a breezy seaside feel. The window looks out over the high street and neighbouring cottages to the hill and fields beyond. This is such a relaxing room you will struggle to get up in the morning.

En-Suite Shower Room:
The final en-suite is a spacious shower room with a sink and WC. This modern room still keeps its cottage feel with open beams and wooden furniture.

Outside


The dining area doors take you out to the raised garden. The lower terrace has central steps up to a lawned area and then up again to a patio where you’ll find the outdoor dining table. This sun trap is a fantastic place for dining al-fresco and soaking in the country air. To the front of the cottage is parking for one car.

Reviews

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.

Thanks to the owners. A beautiful, cosy cottage with everything provided for a comfortable stay. The cottage is decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The kitchen has everything provided for cooking and cleaning up, the lovely cake and milk were much appreciated. The wood burner was also very useful (some logs were provided too). Sage Cottage is in a great location in the beautiful village of Blockley which is very close to many of the Cotswolds idyllic places to visit. . The Western Arms pub was great and also the cafe. Overall I would strongly recommend Sage Cottage and Blockley for a lovely Cotswold visit.

This cottage and village were just perfect for Christmas! The cottage was very clean and so cute. We cooked our entire Christmas dinner there. Everything was available to get it done. They even have two ovens! It is a great size too. We had five adults so with three bedrooms and 3.5 baths it was perfect.

This is a first class accommodation with a great layout, comfortable bedrooms and space enough for 6 adults. We were a group of 4 so had lots of space to relax and enjoy the house. The communication from Bolthole Retreats was excellent and everything was very clear, would book with them again and would highly recommend Sage Cottage.

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.
