Our Shipston on Stour stay

We very much enjoyed our stay in Shipston on Stour. The cottage was perfect for our group and the short walk into the village to restaurants great as it rained a lot.

4day trip to Shipston

The only issue we had was it is right on busy road A34 and very noise with cars and lorries. The front bedrooms were noisy into the night. Otherwise very comfortable and well stocked house.

Sorry to hear that you found the road noisy; unfortunately a slight downside to the central location, but thankfully it doesn’t bother most guests. To combat this, we do have secondary glazing in both front bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Cowen

Host profile image
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Parnell House. Our aim is to provide everything ready for a wonderful break without us disturbing your stay, however we live nearby and are available to help if required. If you would like any information about the local area, great places to visit, or restaurant recommendations we would be happy to help.

Why they chose this property

We live in Shipston, and love the friendly, local vibe here! On the edge of the Cotswolds, there are beautiful walks and places to visit within easy reach. With our twin centre location, you are in walking distance (1 minute!) of lots of lovely pubs, restaurants, cafes and independent shops.
Parnell House is located close by to many wedding venues, so we are a popular destination for groups of weddings guests.

What makes this property unique

Our listed townhouse is both spacious and cosy, comfortably sleeping 8 adults. Being in the town centre allows you to leave the car for the duration of your stay if you want to, within all amenities within walking distance. Walk in the other direction though, and you are out into the beautiful countryside within 5 minutes!
We have furnished and equipped Parnell House to be your home away from home, so there shouldn't be anything you need but can't find.
