Guests say
Fenn House is a well-received cottage offering a comfortable and spacious stay with a well-equipped kitchen and multiple bathrooms. It's praised for its cleanliness, convenient location near transport links and attractions, and cosy atmosphere, even in cold weather. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack with Prosecco.
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'so clean' and 'clean and comfortable,' indicating high standards of hygiene and upkeep.
The location is deemed great, with proximity to a village, train station, and attractions like Warwick Castle and Cadbury World. It's also noted for being quiet and good for country walks.
The property is described as comfortable and cosy, with a warm house and plenty of hot water. However, some guests found the mattresses too soft, which is subjective, and mentioned a lack of blinds in one bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample parking. However, minor issues like poor TV reception and suggestions for valances on beds indicate room for improvement.
While guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome pack with Prosecco, there is not enough information to assess consistency or guarantee of such gifts, so a score cannot be provided.

Christmas 2025: Fenn House was a superb find for us, convenient for our families, enough space for our children, so close to country walks and transport links. Lovely large well equipped kitchen for entertaining! Very tasteful Christmas decorations included. We will definitely be booking Fenn House again in the future! 5 star rating in all categories!

We had a wonderful stay at Fenn House. Lots of space, well equipped and super cosy even in very chilly weather. Great location if you want to get the train into Birmingham and easy access by car to Stratford and local National Trust properties.

Had a fabulous weekend. It was nice to rent a property which actually catered for the full occupancy.Our only disappointment was the industrial lights shining through the blinds at night. A sign for the house on the entrance to the property 😃
