70th birthday celebrations

A group of six of us - friends since schooldays - met up in Blockley for a fantastic few days at the Cosh to celebrate our 70th birthdays. The accommodation was perfect as we could all have our own rooms, and it was great to have so many shower rooms between us! The communal areas were comfortable and very well appointed. The kitchen is pretty well equipped although we struggled a bit with the induction hob and couldn't locate a lemon squeezer. There is so much space on the ground floor; we certainly got our steps in just walking from the sink to the fridge and back and even more so when we needed to use the microwave! The balcony is a great spot for star gazing and the outside space is lovely; the sound of the running water in the stream is very restful and we were lucky enough to spot deer in the woodland on the opposite bank. There is plenty of seating outside so always a spot in the sun or in shade. We were very fortunate with the weather and were able to sit outside for coffee a few times. The welcome pack with a delicious cake and local eggs was much appreciated. We had a good time at the Cosh and would definitely recommend it for a group get-together and we would return; the location is central for travelling and Blockley itself is a very picturesque village with a lovely cafe and shop. Excursions to National Trust Snowshill, Hidcote and Chastleton were much enjoyed, and we also fitted in two concerts and a fabulous meal at the Fleece in Bretforton.

A bright warm well equipped house perfect for large family groups where everyone got space and a bathroom. Easy living and very sociable experience. Good location. Owners were very helpful and showed us their resident horses and sheep which the children loved. Great birthday weekend.

The Cosh Nov 2024

We had a great time in the Cosh. The area was peaceful and lovely location with the horses out in the paddock. The barn itself was beautiful and spacious, the only downside was it is quite open and so a bit echoing but nothing that would put us off staying again. The local pub in the village was fantastic with very friendly and helpful staff. A very enjoyable long weekend

Fantastic stay

A wonderful 4 day stay for our family from 2 year olds to 88 year old. Very large and beautifully appointed this accomodation gave the WOW factor. The kitchen had everything you need had beautiful appliances and loads of room for food prep. The multiple cosy seating areas meant we never felt crowded or ontop of one another We really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the table tennis table and thd children loved the sheep and the horses. We couldn't have asked for more and will definitely be back

Fabulous stay and perfect for our family reunion

We stayed for a weekend at the Cosh to celebrate a family birthday. It was the first time we had all been together in six years. The space is beautifully designed and we found that so many of the details had been carefully thought through. Little touches such as dishwasher tablets, ample cutlery and kitchen ware along with the book shelf and games upstairs just made it feel like a home from home. It was also lovely to enjoy the variety of spaces with the two balconies and different seating areas we could break off into small groups for chats, watching TV or playing games. There are lovely neighbouring villages and being in the peaceful countryside was just idilic. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful space that was fully enjoyed by our whole family.

Family get together

Great long weekend at the Cosh. Well thought out and executed accommodation with huge amount of space for our six grandchildren to play and make as much noise as they wanted. Children apart this is a lovely quiet location with a small babbling brook to the rear. A relatively short walk into Blockley and close to Moreton in Marsh and other quaint Cotswold villages.The children particularly enjoyed seeing the horses and feeding the sheep. A memorable weekend in a high quality property that was in an ideal location for our group, would happily book again.

Fabulous property for a large group

Lovely property in a stunning location. The owners were on hand to answer any questions we had and made our weekend letting us come and help feed Barry the sheep and his friends!! The property is stunning, loads of space for a large group, thoughtfully decorated bedrooms and a spacious kitchen area. Wonderfully peaceful and only a short walk into town’s. Kitchen was missing a couple of utensils (tin opener and a whisk) and would benefit from some details about walks from the property and local attractions but the owners were around tending to their horses and were happy to provide any information needed. We will be back.

As near perfect as one could wish for.

A very comfortable place to stay, with 6 good-sized bedrooms and lots of well-splaced sitting areas. The Welcome Cake was delicious and we were very grateful for the eggs and milk - all above and beyond our expectations. The 4 hens were an added delight! Can thoroughly recommend it. An issue with a Roman blind was addressed very quickly but needs a little more attention.
