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. The cottage would benefit from additional plates and mugs so the dishwasher doesn’t have to be put on every day, but otherwise the cottage is excellent.

It was better than what we expected. I loved this place so much. Our family made so many precious little memories. It is cozy 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.

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 was much appreciated. The wood burner was also very useful (some logs 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 negative with Blockley is the vast amount of cars parked on the very narrow High Street!! Sage cottage benefits from having a small parking space outside which was needed as we had a baby with us. We did however have 2 other cars and parking was very difficult at times. The Western Arms pub was great and also the cafe, once we got in after queuing for some time. Overall I would strongly recommend Sage Cottage and Blockley for a lovely Cotswold visit.

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.

This is a lovely cottage in a very pretty village and we had an enjoyable stay. However, the kitchen was very poorly equipped with only 6 of everything which means that the dishwasher was contantly on. There was no casserole dish provided, and other ovenware was very limited. Also there was not enough seating for 6 people to sit together in either living room.

We enjoyed 2 nights in this very spacious and quiet cottage that is within walking distance of 2 pubs and the cafe. There is plenty of room for 3 couples and your furry friend. The fittings/fixtures/decor are of a high quality and the kitchen is well equipped. It is cozy and warm and we would highly recommend as a perfect base for your Cotswolds touring. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our time in this pretty little cottage. Well equipped, very comfortable and great to be able to park outside. Blockley is beautiful, we've visited a number of times. The village cafe is wonderful and sadly the only decent place to eat in the village, but there are so many great eating places a short drive away. We struggled with TV connectivity in the rear room until we moved a WiFi router from the bedroom into there.

What an enjoyable village, but most importantly what a dynamic cottage to enjoy our visit. While the cottage entrance stresses its historical significance, however once you enter, you are immediately confronted by up-to-date charm, amenities, and relaxing floor plan to accommodate your stay. An additional gem to the cottage is the parking slot immediately in front of the door. The village is perfectly located to enjoy the exploration of the Cotswold's.

Safe Cottage was an idyllic place to stay. Blockley was a fabulous village, and the cottage provided a beautiful, clean and comfortable base for our family.

We would definitely stay again.

Blockley is a quaint village nestled in rolling hills with a fabulous cafe to get your coffee fix and walks around the local hills galore. Lovely and clean cottage, perfect for our group of 6 and twin babies. Only negative is the company makes you check in after 4pm and check-out before 10am with no flexibility which we found a bit unreasonable.

We were able to get early check in to the cottage which was great and enabled us to leave our car, unpack and have an explore of the beautiful village. We had a late lunch at the village cafe which was very good. Amazing cocktails are to be had in the Crown Hotel which is run by a lovely family where the service was fabulous.

The cottage itself is immaculate and has beautiful decor and first class bathrooms.

Our only criticism was that the kitchen was quite cold as the underfloor heating was only on very low.
Also we were unable to light the wood burner despite several attempts We all have woodburners so it's not user error and this one just was unusable which was a shame as we were looking forward to using the snug but without the log burner it was a cold room.

Sage cottage was beautiful. It was clean, comfortable, cosy and an absolute joy to stay in. It is very well equip with everything we needed in the kitchen and lounge including a log burner in the snug. There are thoughtful and beautiful touches everywhere you look. The surroundings are peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We didn’t make use of the lovely garden due to the weather but could certainly see how lovely it would have been. The cottage is well appointed, easy to find and park up. Blockley is a stunning village with an excellent cafe and shop in walking distance.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and only wished it was longer, genuinely sad to leave.

A picturesque arrival at Sage Cottage, weaving through charming Blockley, arriving at a honey stone home with lavender brushing the entrance. There are a few low doors in the property so remember to duck, a modern kitchen, relaxing French style furnishings with lots of upcycled pieces. Beautiful. A great social space for dining inside and out and fantastic bathrooms (3 plus cloakroom) Back garden accessed through full set of steps so not suitable for very young but a lovely sun trap on the top terrace. We dined at Michael’s in Chipping Campden, breakfasted at No.1 Cotswold in Moreton’ and coffee at Blockley Cafe. Make time to wander around the village, find the brook and picture the houses and shop fronts in centuries past. You will be charmed. Great information pack provided so take a look! Thankyou.

The property is beautifully furnished throughout, it is tastefully decorated and it has all of the amenities you could want for an escape holiday. The layout is suitable for 6 with each bedroom having it’s own bathroom facilities - this alone makes it a rare and excellent find. There is also a downstairs cloakroom. The garden is nicely laid out with a large table for 6 on a patio. Be aware that there are some steep steps to climb for access, which was fine. Parking outside was simple enough and didn’t create any problems for us. There is a good guide supplied and this was helpful. The local area is beautiful and is much quieter than the well known villages around. It was incredibly peaceful around and everyone we met was friendly and made us feel welcome. There were a couple of teething issues but nothing that ruined the enjoyment of our stay. These have been fed back. I would highly recommend Sage Cottage. It’s in a beautiful location with good access to surrounding attractions. A local shop and pub were also good outlets with friendly staff and good local food.

Sage Cottage is the most delightful cottage in a beautiful village. The cottage is just to die for! Such a lovely place to stay. Everything you need is there and it's perfectly located to explore the Cotswolds. We took our dog and there were many walks on our doorstep. One day we walked to Chipping Camden which was lovely. We made use of the very well stocked village shop which is open everyday til 7pm. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again.

One recommendation would be to provide a draining board for washing up at the sink.
