Ratty's Retreat offers delightful self catering accommodation in the midst of the Cotswolds.

Ideally suited for just two people, the property is a charming barn conversion, built in beautiful Cotswold stone. It is on 2 floors, the upper galleried floor being reached via a spiral staircase. It sits in communal grounds giving access to the lovely brook and has its own private patio area.

Blockley is sometimes known as 'the secret village in the Cotswolds'. It is a hillside village glowing with the characteristic honey colour of local stone built houses, that nestles in a fold of the Cotswold hills. It is situated midway between the market towns of Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden, once the centre of the wool trade. The village has an attractive medieval parish church, a general store and two village inns.

Blockley, in the heart of the Cotswolds is conveniently located for Oxford, Cheltenham, the Vale of Evesham and Shakespeare Country - historic Stratford-upon-Avon.
There is a main line railway station to London - Paddington (journey time approx. 1 and a half hours) from Moreton-in-Marsh (3 miles).
Birmingham International Airport is an hour's drive, a distance of approx 50 miles.
