A cute little cottage in an idyllic village not far from Alcester and Stratford. The cottage was well equipped and the bed very comfortable. Sarah was a wonderful host and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time!

Lovely cottage in Wilmcote. Really clean and in a great location. In the village itself is William Shakespeare's mothers cottage, just down the road his Anne Hathaway's childhood home and Shakespeare's house is a short drive away. In the surrounding are are many National Trust and English Heritage properties to visit. It's in a beautiful part of the country, lots of green lanes. Sarah is a great host, very knowledgeable about the area and really looked after us. If you're very lucky you might be greeted by a beautiful chocolate Labrador, don't worry if you're not a dog lover she knows not to approach unless asked. But, if you are a a dog lover you're in for an extra treat!

Pleasant accomodation easily accessed area.

Accomodation is very clean and pleasant, with fully equipped kitchen. ( Would recommend provision of a cleaning fluid...especially for bathroom... and washing up liquid... As this is something you dont usally bring even when doing self catering holiday. Was easily obtained from local store and I could easily have asked Sarah for some I am sure. ). BBQ was mentioned in description but not provided. ( However weather was not suitable... Again,.. I'm sure if we asked Sarah would have provided) Sarah was very helpful, friendly and easy to communicate with.

Just what we needed!

Sarah’s house is just what we needed - my partner and I have been super busy with work recently so we needed some space to relax, enjoy the quiet and beautiful surroundings and recharge. Sarah was on hand with advice on the local area and answered any questions we had. A great stay!

Great little place to stay

The circumstances for our stay were unfortunately not for relaxation purposes; however we certainly made sure to enjoy the house and the surrounding areas when we could (old ‘stomping ground’ for us). Sarah and Richard are superb hosts, supportive but equally leaving you to it. You’re welcome to stroll through their garden and on into the back orchard and Gael will most certainly enjoy your company (we miss her very much). Having both a double shower and a bath were wonderful and the addition of the washing machine was an extra bonus. The local shop is a great addition to this stay and with Sarah’s son being the local paperboy, you can always have your daily or weekly newspaper delivered to. Great place to stay.

Lovely cottage which is an ideal base for Stratford and the Cotswolds

This is in a lovely location for exploring the cotswolds and you can walk along the canal into Stratford or take the train from the village. This was our first visit back to the Cotswolds in 20 years and enjoyed visiting the pretty villages and also the amazing choice of national trust properties in the area. Sarah and Richard are excellent hosts.

In a lovely location. The cottage was very comfortable. Enjoyed every minute of my stay

What a lovely time we had. So peaceful. Sarah and Richard were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. The cottage was very comfortable and we loved the underfloor heating which made the cottage so nice and warm. Such a neat place as well.

Great Holiday Cottage for visiting Friends and Family

We used this location as a base for visiting family and friends on a pre-Xmas visit from our home in Spain. As well as family visits we were attracted to being close to Stratford-upon-Avon & the nearby Cotswold villages. The cottage was as described and very clean with a super designed interior giving a very homely feel. Highly recommended.

Lovely and cosy

Myself and my partner stayed at this charming little cottage for a short break in the Midlands, lovely, quiet and rural yet still within a short distance for all amenities, the little welcome pack was most welcoming! Thank you Sarah and Richard for a lovely peaceful break away.
