    The setting was superb and so quiet. Felt totally relaxed and the only noise we heard were birds and bell practice at the church one evening ,but that was really nice

Linda Penman
The property is situated in one of the loveliest villages in the Cotswolds. The village of Blockley is steeped in history surrounding the silk industry. It is close to many other popular attractions and yet is quieter than many of the more well known locations and therefore provides a tranquil retreat at the end of a day exploring.
We have been welcoming guests to Ratty's Retreat since September 2006. We have a background in hospitality and try to provide the highest standards of quality and service so that our guests have the best experience.
The Cotswolds is brimming with things to see and do. From animals and birds, museums, country houses and castles. There is something for everyone all year round.
