We absolutely loved our stay at Shire Cottage. It was stylishly presented and spotlessly clean - it felt like new. The cottage was well equipped, airy, comfortable and light and so quiet and tranquil. The location is excellent for exploring Stratford upon Avon and the nearby Cotswolds. Fresh flowers were also a delightful touch - we would love to stay again and would highly recommend.
