Apple Tree Cottage
With a visitors book now full of superlatives this hide away traditional Cotswold cottage was refurbished only one year ago by the present owners and has already become a favourite with honeymooners and those looking for a cosy romantic retreat from every day life.

The Grade 2 listed cottage is situated in a peaceful secluded location within earshot of a cascading millstream close to one of Blockley's seven former silk mills yet only a few hundred yards from two inns, two restaurants, a delicatessen/coffee shop/wine store and an excellent village shop.

Retaining much of its original character and charm the cottage has a welcoming diner kitchen on the ground floor with a separate cloakroom/wc. A delightful sitting room on the first floor with twin window seats overlooking the landscaped garden and grounds and a particularly attractive bedroom on the second floor with exposed beams, apex ceiling, dormer window and an ensuite bathroom.

Approximately 3 1/2 miles from Chipping Campden and Moreton-in- Marsh (rail station from London Paddington), Apple Tree Cottage makes a wonderful base from which to explore the Cotswolds or simply enjoy a relaxing break in the country. Stratford on Avon 15 miles; Cheltenham 22 miles; Oxford 30 miles.
