The Malins

The house is has plenty of room and is well equipped. Great base for exploring the Cotswolds. Blockley village was interesting and nice walk. Father Brown is filmed around the area

The house is old fashioned- mostly in a good way but some parts need an upgrade. The two end bedrooms toilets are noisy and the showers very poor especially for hair washing

Really well equipped kitchen. Very quiet location, with a lovely little front garden as well as the back courtyard. Spacious and homely.

The manufacturer instructions for the cooker were useless. We found the hob a challenge, and rings kept switching off. It might be useful to provide a simple one pager on how to use it. The water pressure in the 2 showers which aren’t power showers was very low and unusable at times. Maybe not a lot can be done, but it would make a real difference if it can.

It was cozy, warm and spacious. The decoration made you feel like you were in somebody’s home.

It would have been helpful to know in advance what the kitchen has in terms of appliances & basic supplies so that we could plan what to buy for catering purposes.

The front of the property looks exactly like the picture and what you would expect of the Cotswolds. The neighborhood is very quiet. The weather was a bit warm during out stay but we opened windows and that solved the problem with only a few flies. Each room had its own bathroom which was very nice. The study and dining room were very large. The washer has built in dryer which was very handy. Plenty of parking onsite.

When flushing a toilet we would occasionally get a sewer smell in certain rooms of the house. However this became less frequent toward the end of our 2-night stay so maybe the house hadn't been occupied for a while(?). The upper oven did not seem to get very hot but this could have been the result of user error.
