A wonderful cottage.
The location is perfect in the beautiful Blockley. The cottage is warm and inviting and the kitchen provided everything we needed. We would happily stay here again.

Tranquil cottage in the Cotswolds
We had a lovely stay in this tranquil Cotswolds cottage. It is located in the peaceful town of Blockley, which served as a good base for our Cotswolds visit.

Absolutely loved it!
The place is a gem in a gem of a village. We loved every minute of our stay in the house. The house is kept in very good condition despite its long age.

Just perfect
Primrose Cottage is just perfect is you are looking for a peaceful stay in the Cotswolds.
Situated in beautiful Blockley, it is accessed on foot from the high street.
The stream (brook) runs 70m through the garden, sometimes trout can be seen.
The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable.
We cannot wait to return.
We had a wonderful experience at Primrose Cottage. This is a truly unique and amazing location right on the bubbling brook. May be challenging for anyone with mobility issues, as it is a bit of a walk down a short hill to get to the property from the road, but totally worth it if not problematic for you. Listening to the brook was so calming. The town of Blockley is quaint and not too busy. This is truly a gem of a location. Would definitely go back!
The location was convenient and quiet. The cottage was quaint and tastefully decorated. The stream running beside the property created a unique and serene atmosphere. However, the cottage needs a deep clean. Carpets were dirty, living room furniture badly soiled and bathroom shade splattered. Amenities such as bath soap, shampoo and toilet tissue were lacking.

Lovely relaxing weekend away by a babbling brook
Both my friends and I had a wonderfully, relaxing long weekend away @ Primrose Cottage mid January .
The cottage is very welcoming and comfortable, warm with the addition of a log burner should you wish to use it.
A well stocked kitchen utensil wise and such comfortable beds!
Totally enjoyed our stay and really do hope to return another time.
My wife and I had a wonderful time in the Cotswolds, and the Cottage played a big part in that. It was cosy and had most of what we needed. However, strangely it did not come with any shampoo or body soap, there was no tissue paper, and the phone for local calls was not working. If those small areas could be looked at, it would have been a perfect stay.

Nice house, but it needs a thorough cleaning
The house was beautiful and set in an almost magical location. Unfortunately we found the kitchen with a lot of dirt on furniture, oven and hob. We asked for a solution, but this was not possible, the reason given was that we did not report the problem within 24 hours, when our stay was for 1 week.
Also the TV remote did not work and the carpet in the living room smelled unpleasantly of pet pee.
Nice house, but it needs a thorough cleaning and the management of the real estate agency was not up to the task.
The cottage was exactly as presented in the pictures. Clean, well appointed, private. You can occasionally hear sheep bleating in the neighboring pasture. Easy entry instructions. We had a nice dinner in the back porch beside the Brooke. Walking distance to the quaint little village, bar and cafe/restaurant. They happened to be filming Father Brown while we were there in July. If you have bad knees, you should know there are 11 stairs to the bathroom and 10 more to the third floor bedroom. Beds are very comfy. The shower is a tub shower and the tub is about three feet high with a slim lip just in case that is a problem for you. You'll have to park on high Street which is very narrow with cars parked on both sides. Neighbors are friendly.

A spoilt holiday.
Primrose Cottage is full of character situated in a delightful location. However our stay was spoilt by poor cleanliness and maintenance of the property. Parts of the cottage had clearly not been dusted for months.
Water was dripping from the bathroom into the lounge on our arrival, although this did stop before the plumber arrived on our first morning. The cottage windows could not be shut properly, even allowing for the age of the property.
The standard lamp in the lounge was dangerously broken, as was a picture hanging in the bathroom.
The fridge door shelf broke due a cracked support bracket causing a full bottle of wine to smash on the kitchen tiles.
The TV remote did not work so no TV.
We have stayed in many cottages and this is the first that did not have a visitor book for comments!
Stay Cotswold Cottages were helpful when contacted regarding the leak and fridge, but overall our stay should not have been so stressful. I hope this review is shown to perhaps encourage the owner to clean and maintain this cottage to a higher standard.

Cute cottage that needs a good clean
To be honest I only booked a stay at Primrose Cottage because of the stream running through the garden, it looked so sweet and charming and I could not resist! Booking was simple and straightforward.
The cottage is quite lovely, however I was taken aback by the lack of cleanliness. I realise in the English climate, and with a fireplace too, it must be difficult to keep carpet clean, but the carpet here looks like it hasn’t been deep cleaned in years. The sofa and armchair were so grubby I wasn’t even comfortable sitting on them. I only used the ‘leather’ armchair because it at least looked clean.
The rubbish bin in the top bedroom had not been emptied prior to my stay, not pleasant to have to deal with another guests dirty tissues when I arrived.
I had to scrub a coffee mug clean before it was fit for use. I did not need to cook during my stay, which I’m glad of, because all the cupboards and their contents were grubby. I only made use of the toaster and kettle. I did have to use the iron, the handbook said it was stored I the cupboard under the stairs. I opened the cupboard to find a dusty, tangled mess of all sorts.
The worst was probably when my phone slipped off the bedside table and I pulled the table out. Yuk. Not cleaned for years by the look of it. Whoever vacuums the place does not move anything out of the way obviously.
The Iightswitch on the landing was bizarrely taped off. And for goodness sake, spend a few bucks on a new lampshade!
…… but the stream and garden were lovely!!
