1 / 243 Crown Cottages Blockley
Blockley, Gloucestershire
A two bedroom cottage for four at Blockley in the north Cotswolds, with an enclosed cottage garden, a wood burner and two dogs welcome.
Blockley once ran twelve silk mills off one small brook and lit its streets by electricity in 1887, years before most towns in England managed it. Nothing about the village now suggests any of that. 3 Crown Cottages stands halfway up the street: two bedrooms, a shower room, an enclosed cottage garden behind, dog friendly, taking four people and two dogs. A place that was an industrial settlement and has entirely stopped being one walks very quietly indeed.
The garden is the part to book it for. It is enclosed, it has a table and chairs and a charcoal grill on it, and it is small enough that two dogs treat it as another room rather than territory to patrol. Indoors a wood burner comes with logs to start it. The stairs are steep in the way old cottage staircases are, and the owners say so in writing instead of letting anybody find out.
What the village gives you is the Cotswolds without the coach park. Blockley is stone the whole way up a steep street, the brook still runs behind the houses, and the lanes leaving it head into farmland rather than towards another village selling fudge. Two dogs get quiet ground from a front door.
Over the ridge, Bourton-on-the-Hill climbs a gradient that lorries take at walking pace, a single street of stone on the old Fosse ridge with long views west off the top. Northwick spreads its parkland below, walled and wooded, the remains of an estate that once ran most of the land round here. Two dogs get a hill street and old parkland under it.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is 3 Crown Cottages Blockley dog friendly?
Yes, 3 Crown Cottages welcomes dogs — up to two are allowed alongside the four human guests. The cottage has an enclosed cottage garden out the back, which means your dogs can be outside without you worrying about them wandering off, and the village itself opens straight onto quiet lanes and farmland.
Are dogs allowed at 3 Crown Cottages Blockley year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm availability for a specific time of year, it's worth checking directly with the owners when you book.
What should I know before visiting 3 Crown Cottages Blockley with my dog?
The enclosed cottage garden is small enough that dogs tend to treat it as an extension of the indoors rather than a space to roam, which works well for keeping an eye on them. It's also worth knowing that the internal staircases are steep in the way old cottages often are — the owners flag this upfront, so it's something to bear in mind if your dog uses the stairs. Beyond the cottage, the lanes out of Blockley head into open farmland, so you're not far from proper walking ground.
