 Stable CottageBlackpitt Farm, Oddington,Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56 0XW Telephone: 01451 831855  Near the old Cotswold market town of Stow on the Wold, hidden at the end of a private drive are two cosy self catering holiday cottages with far reaching and uninterrupted panoramic views. Set in a secluded, peaceful location on a small working farm, they have been converted from an original Cotswold stone barn. The open beams and exposed timbers retain rural character and charm, providing a sense of farming history.  The accommodation has a private flower and lawned garden with seating, picnic tables and barbeque, ideal for summer breaks. Blackpitt is also charming in winter. Something we recommend is getting up early on a frosty morning when everything is still and quiet, when the roads are empty and the birds are singing in the hedgerows. As you tramp along the crispy ground you can see your breath in the cold air, it is these moments that capture the precious secrets of the Gloucestershire countryside. The cottages are fully equipped with all essential appliances, bed linen and tea towels. We always welcome dogs, especially well behaved ones. The washing machine and tumble dryer, both coin operated are in the tack room next to the cottages. An outside washing line and pegs are also available. There is a freezer in the tack room which guests are welcome to use.  Recycling is encouraged as much as possible especially as we do not have a regular rubbish collection. We have a bottle and tin collection bin, a newspaper and cardboard bin and a compost bin for vegetable matter. We have ducks for bread recycling and horses for carrots, apples and polo mint recycling. There is a large bin for any other rubbish behind the cottages. The cottages share a private enclosed garden with garden seats and picnic tables. There are expansive large grass areas and wonderful footpaths surrounding the cottages, ideal for dog walking. Maps are provided in each cottage. One car parking space is allocated per cottage and please ask if you would like extra space. There is also undercover storage for mountain bikes, muddy walking boots etc. The cottages will be available from 4.00 pm on arrival day and should be vacated by 10.00 am at the end of your stay. Please leave the cottages in the same condition as you found them. We hope you enjoy your stay.
