Stratford-upon-Avon, located on the banks of the River Avon in the picturesque Warwickshire countryside, is a city rich in history and culture. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford, England, which is a well-known tourist site and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The ownerâs communications about the house and the surrounding area was all very helpful. All in all a very comfortable stay and would thoroughly recommend.

We found no problem in parking our large people carrier provided the passenger alights first and you park the pavement end. Our third visit and won't be the last.

We did manage to spend some time in the garden on our first day and enjoyed the sun in the swing seat for a brief period, the weather didn't really permit this later in our stay. David our host, was always contactable and provided an introduction email prior to our arrival which we found useful. He also provided some suggestions on places to visit and other helpful information about the town. Although not our first visit to the area, it was our first time at Home Straight but we would 100% stay there again.
