About this property

Wren Cottage is a gorgeous holiday property nestled in a quiet corner of Stratford-upon-Avon’s Old Town quarter, perfectly situated for exploring the many attractions of this historic destination and the surrounding countryside. From the moment you step through the door, you can relax and enjoy the inviting ambience of this tucked away bolthole. Lovingly renovated and furnished by the owners, Wren Cottage offers a spacious, light-filled living room with inviting sofa and armchairs, a small but perfectly formed, contemporary kitchen catering for all your needs, and a sleek shower room with rainfall and handheld shower attachments. The two bedrooms are tastefully decorated in neutral tones and have sumptuous beds with quality bed linen supplied. After a day of sightseeing, retreat to your own peaceful hideaway where you can linger over a chilled drink in the pretty and secluded courtyard garden. The property is a very short walk from the River Avon and Holy Trinity Church, the final resting place of William Shakespeare, and the charming medieval streets of the town centre are just beyond. Stratford offers a fantastic choice of restaurants, pubs and tearooms to enjoy, and has a fine array of shops together with regular markets and festivals in the town centre. Take a stroll by the River Avon and enjoy the town’s vibrant parks and cafes, all within half a mile of Wren Cottage. Thrill at a performance by the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company, enjoy a film at the Everyman cinema, and be entertained by the many street performers. Visit Shakespeare’s Birthplace or one of several other historic Shakespeare properties, take a tour of Stratford Butterfly Farm, or float gently downstream on a River Cruise or aboard your own hired boat. The Greenway cycle path is easily accessed from the cottage, leading you past Stratford Racecourse and into the beautiful Warwickshire countryside. With your own private space at Wren Cottage, you can choose when to venture further afield and explore the surrounding area, perhaps visiting some of the delightful towns and villages in the Cotswolds such as Chipping Campden (approx. 12 miles) or Broadway (approx. 15 miles), or one of the beautiful gardens and historic houses nearby. Head to the pretty town of Warwick, famous for its magnificent castle set within 64-acres of beautiful grounds where you can marvel at the birds of prey. Wren Cottage offers an inviting and stylish stay at any time of the year, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, or a small group of three or four. Book your next escape to Wren Cottage.

Stratford-upon-Avon, located on the banks of the River Avon in the picturesque Warwickshire countryside, is a city rich in history and culture.

These intriguing structures, which are available year-round and feature 16th-century furnishings as well as lovely grounds and gardens, let you experience Tudor life.

    The cottage was absolutely lovely and spotlessly (I don't use that word lightly, it really was) clean, very well-presented and very comfortable. It has a lovely little garden and we were sorry not to be able to use it (if you visit in Ffebruary, as we did, it's unlikely, isn't it?!). The beds were extremely comfortable, the house was very warm and our friend who is disabled appreciated the lovely walk-in shower. A designated parking space was very nice to have and our friends were able to park in the parking area opposite (which is ordinarily limited to two hours) using their blue badge. We had a fantastic time at Wren cottage and recommend it for anyone who wants somewhere more comfortable to stay than a hotel.

    Quiet and comfortable with designated parking (always a boon in Stratford). Would stay again. Only problem related to information Sykes Cottages sent - there’s a star in the key code for access, and it was much tinier print than the rest of the code, so I didn’t spot it and had to call the owner. Could and should be easily remedied by Sykes.

    Our hosts could not have been more helpful and friendly - they live round the corner and they made us feel that if we had an issue they would be straight round. The cottage is in a great location - quiet but only a 10 minute walk to the town centre, the river and the theatre. We would very much recommend a drink at The Garrick (the oldest pub in Stratford), a meal at Lambs on Sheep Street and of course a trip to the theatre. We would definitely recommend this cottage and very much hope to return.
