The property is spacious, light, well-maintained and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Stratford Upon Avon is an interesting and attractive town with lots going on. Perfect for a short break.

Location and homely feel are fantastic. Everything you need is available for a comfortable stay. Our only issue first time was that the shower wasn't great, and the shower pole/housing was poor. Our biggest issue this time was that the shower stopped working with 2 days remaining. Unfortunately, the owner was on holiday and the number that was left to report any issues failed to respond to our voice mail message. With four adults on site, we decided to leave early without shower facilities. This was a disappointing end to a wonderful break. Parking is also no longer available outside the property.
