Home from home
My friend and I have stayed at Knoll Cottage several times, and have already booked it again for an autumn break, so it is pretty obvious that we enjoy staying here! The cottage is warm and friendly,, the beds comfortable, the space generous and we have a bathroom each. The kitchen is generously provided with all the pots, pans and utensils that we need, and I think we have actually now mastered the rather complicated electric hob - although we do have to unearth the instructions from the depths of a cupboard each time. For non-techies, the instructions on how to operate the smart TV 'with apps' is not really adequate, and when faced with four separate unmarked remotes, I think longingly of my flat screen TV at home with its single remote which even operates the DV player. However, we cracked the system enough to watch BBC channels and the DVD player, although we could not find any Freeview channels. We had a power outage one evening when a fuse tripped, and even a friendly neighbour could not find the fuse box. Luckily, the property manager was able to give us instructions. While later browsing the dossier provided, I discovered that what I had thought was a single page of information was actually five, clipped together and pushed into the same plastic wallet. The location of the fuse box was given at the very end of page five. I put the pages into separate wallets, so hopefully future guests will not miss anything.

November Break
Knoll Cottage was just perfect, we walked into the cottage and just felt instantly relaxed & at home. It had everything you wood need. It was clean warm, the bed was so comfortable . Great spot to the local pub The Crown 18 steps from the cottage. Would definitely return and stay again

Lovely Cottagefrom the bedrooms were
We enjoyed our stay at Knoll Cottage. The property was tastefully decorated, comfortable and well equipped. There were great walks from the property and the views from the bedrooms were lovely. The only downsides were a few low beams and quite steep stairs so this might not be the right property for taller people or those with mobility issues.

Cosy cottage in quaint village
We had a lovely time here. Although the internet went down (and two us were working) the neighbours offered their connection which was very nice and helpful. The showers we struggled with as either boiling or cold but overall a great stay.

Wonderful stayed at The Knoll Cottage. You felt as home when you arrived to the cottage. Everything is very clean. You can find details everywhere. The sofá and beds are very confortable. All rooms are lovely decorated. The kitchen is great, love cook there! The back yard is so beautiful. It has been one of the best houses we have ever been. Thankyou!

Lovely cottage
We have stayed at Knoll Cottage a couple of times before and everything about it is wonderful. The only thing I marked comfort down for is that I think the mattress on the bed on the first floor needs replacing, I also noticed that it had been mentioned in your comments book but felt I would like to be more discreet. Also the black bin bag is so thin that it is impossible to lift it from the bin without it splitting, just a small point but would make a big difference being thicker quality. This was also mentioned in the comments book. However we had a lovely time and will be booking with you again. Thank you so much.

Amazing location in Darling Cottage
My mother and I spent 2 lovely weeks at Knoll Cottage. She wanted to experience a traditional Cotswold village and Blockley did not disappoint. We felt like part of the community when we were recognized at the local pub and spent time chatting with long time residents after dinner. The cottage is well equipped and ideal for 1-4 adults. We really appreciated the stash of teas, bottle of wine and container of milk. The location is central to anything in the Cotswolds. Blockley is quiet but you might get awoken by the sound of horse hooves on cobble stones! A few words of advice - the stairs are narrow as indicated. If you aren’t able to easily maneuver your suitcase, you might want to unpack in the living room and bring up armfuls. Also - be prepared to duck! It’s truly an historic building and the beams are a danger for anyone over 5’9”.

Loved it!
A wonderful stay at a lovely cottage. Beds were great. Sofa comfy, Garden, a treat. Views to the rear of the cottage beautiful. The cottage feels bigger than the pictures on the site. We came as a couple needing 2 bedrooms. Both rooms were great, with the bonus of wardrobe space and toilets on each bedroom level. The living room has a wood burner (not needed for our stay) and the cottage has C/H that can be boosted to keep you toasty if necessary. Welcome goodies were appreciated, thanks a lot! TV was fine and all apps accessible. The Kitchen was fairly well equipped and easy to use. The Downstairs toilet was v.handy. Blockley village is a lovely place to wander around and the shop and café are both good. Locals were friendly and the Pub over the road served nice food. Parking was generally ok on street outside. We will be back. Thank you.

Delightful house in a lovely Cotswold village
Knoll house was a lovely comfortable place. 4 stories high in a quiet village. The honey toned stone architecture is quite beautiful throughout the area. Basement kitchen was well equipped & comfortable with good facilities & a toilet. The lounge with a large very comfortable settee was well used by both of us.. the log burner proved useful on a couple of cold wet afternoons . Both bedrooms had comfortable king beds & having two bathrooms proved very practical. The outside back courtyard looked very attractive but due to poor cold wet weather didn’t get used. Walk out the front door & opposite is the Crown Hotel pub. The area was very quiet throughout our stay of 4 nights. Easy parking outside the row of cottages. A five minute walk down to the lovely cafe & shop in the village. All in all a very pleasant area to visit with local Towns of Moreton & Stow a short drive away.

Our fourth stay
We have stayed at Knoll Cottage four times now and enjoy returning to what feels like a home from home. The village is beautiful and has all the essentials including a very good cafe and shop. There are lovely walks from the house. The beds are every comfortable. I would say that it suits us as we are two friends that go and have one room each and then the living room set up works for us because there are only two of us. It’s not really a living room for four adults as the two chairs are formal chairs and there is one sofa. The kitchen is fairly well equipped with essentials. Parking has never been a problem for us.

Comfort and convenience in beautiful Blockley
I have been coming to Blockley for over 30 years, and have stayed in a number of different cottages there. Knoll Cottage has to rate highly among them for its comfort, charm and convenient location. The beds in particular are very comfortable, and I slept much better than I usually do away from home. It is a great advantage to have a bathroom adjacent to each bedroom. The cottage is very well equipped, the kitchen having everything you could and could not possibly want. We did have a problem with the electric hob, and even after we found the instructions tucked away in a cupboard, thought it was all unnecessarily complicated. What we did not find were meaningful instructions on how to operate the Smart TV. Maybe that is now common knowledge to most people, but not to us, nor are we used to being faced with three separate remote controls. However, we did manage to wade through everything else on offer to find BBC and ITV, so perhaps it will become easier with time. So yes, we did like Knoll Cottage very much and are on the point of booking again.

Lovely traditional Cotswolds cottage
Knoll Cottage is very comfortable, cozy and warm, loved staying there, visiting family in the area. One thing, the cottage was very well equipped with everything, didn't have any problems with anything but I would have liked an outside washing line or drying rack. Would have been handy because of the hot weather. I didn't come by car, a bit difficult staying here but managed perfectly by using the bus and train instead to several interesting places. Did my shopping in the lovely local shop, having a coffee there as well and often my family drove me around too. I enjoyed the garden and also took some yoga classes in Jubilee Hall. So really enjoyed my time in Blockley and will surely come again in the future!

Knoll cottage
Warm and cozy. Beautiful property. Great little town. Information book needs to be updated. Company used for problems was very helpful once we learned how to contact him. Lots of extra numbers that go before his number. But we got it and he was great. Clean, cozy, nicely furnished, felt very safe, great back yard. (If bikes are for renters use have the tires filled with air. Across the street is the Crown hotel. Great pub, met very nice people that made wonderful recommendations for things to do. I had the most incredible view from my bedroom window on the second floor. And I mean incredible!!!!

A lovely stay with friends
The cottage was tastefully decorated and the outside patio area welcome in the hot weather. Blockey village was lovely and quiet. Even though we are over retirement age we still coped well with the narrow stairs on top floor. Have only just realised reading other reviews that the freezer was located in shed, perhaps this should be mentioned in the welcome pack. The fuse box tripped twice in 4 days which we resolved but see that this has been a regular comment in other reviews. Advice in the welcome pack about resetting the fuse box would be useful then we wouldn’t have needed to panic! We would recommend the cottage.

Lovely spot
We really enjoyed our home base for a week in the Cotswolds. Knoll Cottage was beautifully decorated, with a lovely garden, and very well equipped. The views out the back were outstanding! There is a great restaurant/cafe in town, as well as a grocery store with all the basics. And the Father Brown TV show church is in Blockley too! My only suggestion is for better quality/ greater quantity of towels.

Superb accommodation. Cottage delightfully decorated and furnished with excellent facilities and equipment with nothing lacking. Great location in a lovely village previously unknown to us. Parking on the road wasn't a problem as we found spaces outside the cottage most of the time. Everything very clean. Good communication with StayCotswold and MyClean.

Lovely Cotswold house
Our stay at knoll cottage was top quality . Being a traditional house it is based over 4 floors . Each level was clean comfortable and beautifully decorated . We slept in the top floor which had an en suite with bath / shower . The sitting room was warm and comfortable with a fire if you need it but we found the heating very comfortable . Things to remember that this is in traditional village and house , so there are low beams , steep stairs and parking a bit awkward but these are to be expected/ aware but do not deter from the overall experience , summary lovely holiday house in which we would happily book again . There is a village shop and coffee shop a few hundred meters away .

As you imagine the Cotswolds
Cute Cotswolds cottage in a quiet village with village pubs and cafe. Really nice local people. Comfortable beds and cosey living room. Easy drives to almost anywhere - we visited Blenheim, Daylesford and lots of the surrounding villages. The Fox (part of Daylesford) was fab atmosphere and food but you are spoilt for choice when it comes to pub lunches.
