Lovely authentic holiday cottage 20 minutes walk, using the local footpaths, from the centre of Stratford upon Avon. Local pub 5 minutes walk away was busy serving nice food and drink. Had a very relaxing time and slept well in the 4 poster bed.

A very beautiful and romantic cottage. Very cosy, too. It is well located for visits to Shakespeare related sites in and around Stratford. It is also a good base to explore Warwick, Kenilworth and the (Northern part of the) Cotswolds from.I would book this cottage again for a next stay in this area.
