David
We had a lovely 5 nights in this superb apartment. The owners have thought of everything and are clearly proud of their property and that their guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay. The property is spacious and very clean and well maintained, we cannot praise it enough. It was well located with many Cotswold villages and towns within a 12 mile radius. Just a note (not a complaint) to the owner that the bathroom cold tap in the bathroom has a drip, this did not affect our stay whatsoever. We would definitely stay again if visiting the area again and would highly recommend. Thank you, David and Christine Greenwood

I would certainly book again in the future. Shipston is a great market town with some great food options along with 2 well stocked supermarkets for meals at home. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Helen

A very well appointed flat with everything you could want for a relaxing break. We also liked that it was on a bus route to Stratford upon Avon meaning we could have a great day out without the car. The pay and display car park is really handy if you use it to park overnight but a better description and directions to the local free car parks might help future guests, that said we found them easily enough.
