Guests say

Heath Cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon is praised for its superb location, comfortable furnishings, and the bonus of a hot tub. Guests appreciate the helpfulness of the housekeeper, Annabel, and the convenience of parking. While some mention the property could benefit from maintenance and a deep clean, the overall experience is positive, with many guests enjoying their stay and the cottage's proximity to local attractions.

Reviews indicate that while the cottage is generally clean, some guests noted areas that could benefit from more attention, such as marked carpets and a musty smell in one room. However, the majority found the property to be clean, contributing to a comfortable stay.

The location is highly praised for being central and within walking distance to Stratford's attractions. Despite some comments about noise and nearby pub activities, the convenience of the location is consistently appreciated.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, with a wood burner and a well-equipped kitchen adding to the comfort. Some guests mentioned issues with showers and a need for more storage, but overall, the comfort level is high.

The hot tub is a highlight, though some guests reported it needing maintenance. The availability of parking, a well-equipped kitchen, and additional amenities like a wood burner are positives, but some guests noted that certain facilities could be improved or were not working optimally.

There is no consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate a level of thoughtfulness in hosting. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

    It's cozy, clean and comfortable. The log burner and hot tub are a definite bonus! Communication with Annabel the Housekeeper was excellent.

  • Kerry

    Would highly recommend and stay there again.

  • Michael

    Ideal location to be able to walk to most places of interest. We were able to park our car outside the property as our daughter has a disabled badge so we didn’t need to park in hotel car park. Having the hot tub was perfect to relax in after walking around. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
