  This quirky house is ideally placed for a gentle walk into the centre of Stratford.

  The house was bigger than I'd expected, with a large lounge/dining room and kitchen. The kids were thrilled to be able to feed the fish in the covered pond. The owner was very quick to respond and helpful when needed. The kids would have appreciated a more up to date TV system in order to access Netflix or Internet, but we managed fine with free view in the end. I had no trouble parking outside the property using the supplied permit. I'd read conflicting reviews about the comfort of the beds, so hopefully this might help. I have fibromyalgia, so rely on having a comfortable bed to ensure my pain levels don't increase. I found the house a bit like the 3 bears home - the large double bed was quite firm and too hard for me, the smaller double bed was very soft and cushioning but a little too soft for me, but the two single beds were just right! I chose this property based on the reviews saying the beds were comfortable as the last time I stayed away I ended up not sleeping properly and in a lot of pain. That didn't happen this time. Altogether I would recommend this property.

  We found 5 Albany Road to be a most comfortable home from home.

  Ideally located; a mere five minutes walk to the centre of town, and with a delightfully quaint rear garden. The additional sun room was a particularly pleasant feature with patio doors leading outside to garden furniture, lawn and pond. There were washing facilities and a washing line which, I imagine, might be useful to some as well as an iron and ironing board. The kitchen is large and bright and the dining room has a generous sized table with dining chairs which have been replaced with more modern ones since the photographs were originally taken. We found having two WC's very "convenient" indeed (one upstairs and one downstairs) and there was a plethora of towels and toiletries for our use. The owners left a lovely card and gift which offered a warm welcome. We parked without issue right outside the front door, making use of on-street parking with the house's free parking permit. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a delightful holiday home. We certainly hope to stay here again on our regular trips to Stratford Upon Avon.

  We were visiting the lovely town of Stratford-upon-Avon from the United States and booked this property for a three-night stay.

  The home is located within walking distance of the train station, shops, and the Shakespeare attractions. It is on a through road and near a major thoroughfare so there is some traffic noise during the day. It was fairly quiet at night. Although it is an older home it is well maintained and the carpet and furnishings were clean and in good condition. The kitchen was large, recently renovated, and fully stocked. The bathroom situation was not ideal with the toilet in a small room with no sink but the only way to fix that would be to tear down a wall and make the bathroom bigger. The welcome gifts were a nice touch and the owners responded to our questions quickly. There are a few things that would make this rental go from good to great. Firstly, the bedrooms need blackout drapes. These are critical in the summer when the sun rises so early. The TV should be replaced with a larger smart model so guests can stream movies and TV shows. And lastly, portable fans are needed since the bedrooms tend to get stuffy at night.

  We have stayed in this house before and enjoy the space inside and little garden at the back.

  On both visits we had no trouble parking outside the property with the parking permit provided. Jean and Stephen, the owners, are attentive and generous and, as we stayed for 2 weeks this time, we had a change of bedding and towels mid-stay. The location is central on a quiet street and there is plenty hot water, a good heating system and a little shop just round the corner. The main bathroom has no wc but there are two separate toilets - one on both floors. These are certainly pretty small if that's of relevance to you. There are plenty of homely touches in the house and the middle bedroom has a lovely new bed so is as comfortable as the other beds now. I think the owners are to be commended on the fact that they have updated the once worn bed, dining room chairs, sun room furniture and sofas so the house is certainly well maintained and a real pleasure to visit. Overall, the house is traditional , spacious and charming and we'd hope to visit again.

  Just like to tell you what a great week we had in Stratford upon Avon.

  Our cottage was in the perfect location. A five minute walk away from from the town centre. Plenty to see in the local area, including Warwick Castle, and the beautiful Boulton on the Water. Our cottage was well equipped, with just about everything you could need. There were just a couple of things that we may have benefited from. It had a washing machine, but not a tumble dryer. Not a problem in nice weather, as the rear garden is a real suntrap. But could be a problem if the property is available all year. Also there was no feedback book for the previous visitors to leave any recommendations for places or restaurants to visit. That would have been nice. Other than that, we would definitely recommend the property, as the location is just perfect. A 5 minute walk and you're in Stratford upon Avon. Local supermarkets are a short drive away, so no need to take the kitchen sink away with you.
