Wonderful

The house was amazing. Perfect for a big group with different aged kids - the garden was ideal! Three bedrooms having en suites was brilliant two, and two lounge areas was a bonus. We took kids ages 6 months to 5 years and it was a really safe house for all ages too. The house was clean and well equipped, and Blockley village is lovely to have on the doorstep. Would definitely come back.
This house was exactly what we had wanted…clean, comfortable, very sociable but enough space not to be on top of each other. The fantastic garden was perfect for the kids with an incredible view, and the local area was gorgeous…thank you!
Wonderful long weekend stay for my mum’s 80th birthday. Everything was perfect. The house has a great layout and comfortably accommodated us all. The garden and surrounding areas are beautiful and It even had a rounders set for us to enjoy in the garden. I would definitely recommend this property it has everything you need and more.
A great spot from which to enjoy a large family get together. The location and gardens are fantastic and plenty of space to enjoy. Some areas of the house are looking a little tired, but it didn’t impact our stay. Thank you.

Family Get Together

Beautiful area and lovely size house but unclean
The house was a lovely size and layout in a stunning area. The views were stunning with a fantastic back garden.
The beds were very comfortable .
Our main criticism is that it was unclean… bins, oven especially but overall a sense it had not been cleaned properly. One of the single beds bedding … the pillowcase especially was dirty.
There were things broken… blinds that didn’t go up, the bin lids were broken.
It was a real shame because it was a great space. However, we did have a great weekend as a family for my mums 80th.
We loved the house, the views were amazing and the children and dogs loved the huge lawn. The house was great and the cinema room was fun

A Great House For a Family Break
Landgate House is wonderful, with a fabulous garden in a beautiful location. Good sized bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen for our family group with more than enough space for us to get together for playing games. Plenty to see in the local area as well as further afield. A great introduction to the beautiful Cotswolds.
Spacious property in vibrant spacious property in a vibrant village.
Problem with fault in central heating, owner provided multiple fan heaters so not an inconvenience. Overall an excellent location for a family get together.
The property was as described the view was stunning there were plenty of places to visit covering the childreng with us,from the youngest at 2 years to the teenagers.
Only flaw was the main bedroom en-suite shower having missing tiles and not usable.

Great family get together
We went for a weekend away with 8 adults and 7 children. Great house and space. Cinema room is good. Garden is lovely and spacious so we could play outside all weekend. Village has a park, two pubs and a cafe and great stocked shop. Lovely countryside walks on the door step. definitely recommend Landgate house we will be returning. Only problem we had was the bbq was unavailable and we had brought bbq food to cook.
Excellent property for family gatherings especially if the weather is good as the outside space and the view is fantastic. However if not such good weather there are 2 small sitting areas with sofas which would split up your party. The dining/ kitchen was a good size but due to the conservatory glass was always very warm. Very good quality linens and bedding although some of the bedrooms need a little updating ie the en- suite facilities. The cleanliness of the property was ok really needed a good deep clean especially around the windows and the sills. Excellent kitchen utensils everything you needed for a large family gathering. The village is lovely so the location is perfect with an excellent shop/ cafe and local pubs all walkable from the house.

A comfortable stay for 10 adults
The house was a good size for we 9 mature ladies. We could all enjoy the chilly winter weekend snuggled around the log burner in the living room though it would have been a struggle with more people. The beds and bed linen were excellent so we all slept well.
The kitchen could do with a good sort out - crockery pans and utensils in drawers and cupboards were a complete jumble so it was hard to find things and know where to put them back. The microwave hadn’t been cleaned and we were left with no tea towels or oven gloves - although some were delivered to us on Sunday after we messaged.
Apart from these minor annoyances it was a great stay and the fabulous Friday dinner at the Blockley Cafe was the highlight!

Good house in a great location
All good on the whole, great location and big house with a great garden. Few bits just to provide feedback although didn't spoil our stay. The house is getting a bit tired, I was informed the bedroom downstairs didn't have a carpet due to a leak but this had clearly happened a while back and not yet corrected. It would be a good idea to supply a few more dish cleaning products considering it's a house for up to 16. One tiny dish cleaner quickly becomes worn out, and a few cloth's to wipe down would be good. Equally, a spare toilet roll in each bathroom would be useful. The house needs a good clean from time to time although appreciate this is difficult in high season. The info pack says the bins are emptied on Tuesdays but it appears to be Monday so we missed this and the outside bin hasn't been emptied for a few weeks now.
Otherwise booking and information etc very good and would use Stay Cotswolds again.

August Golden Wedding family weekend
Landgate House is in a great position, wonderful views, not overlooked with a massive field/ garden ideal for dogs and children. There were 16 in our party.
Rooms are a good size and the house is furnished well, kitchen well equipped. Beds were very comfortable with good cotton linen. Bathrooms were fine. Overall a great place for a family gathering. We managed to eat as a group by putting the 2 tables together as suggested. We made use of one high chair for our 18 month old grand daughter, we had to clean it before use.
The outdoor terrace was great, the only issue is carrying food etc down the windy stairs for the barbecue as it's on the lower level.
We had a couple of minor issues. Rain dripped through the conservatory roof, in one spot over the table, but the rain was torrential.
All the carpets could have done with a clean, several spots and marks.
Although generally clean, some surfaces were dusty, some dead wasps on window cill and under sofa in lounge.
The 2 double bedded room downstairs was missing its carpet, just a few rugs on part of the floor. Advance warning of this would have been helpful.
Blockely is a charming Cotswold visit ideal for walking, with a great community cafe, a nice play area. We enjoyed walking round the village and looking at the church (location for filming Father Brown series).
We would love to visit again.

Good place for some days with groups up to 16 people
We enjoyed the surrounding, good equipped kitchen and the lovely living room. However, the oven was very dirty and some rooms would need some renovation. Nevertheless, it is a good place to be and we will return if possible.
Everything we needed was there and it was a fantastic spot.

Highly recommend!
Booked this for a weekend for a family reunion with 14 of us. There was plenty of room for everyone, a great garden area and the house was exceptionally clean, a great experience at a very fair price. I would highly recommend to any large family booking a short holiday or weekend trip. Only slight issue was TV in the cinema room not fully working but if you bring a laptop to connect to, it would be fine.
Great stay in a lovely property. Can’t fault the property which was spotlessly clean on arrival. Plenty of space for the group of 10 of us. Recommended
