Nice vacation in Stratford-upon-Avon
We enjoyed our stay at Shakespeare Cottage. Very nice, clean and comfortable. There were a few things missing that would have made the stay perfect such as tissues, toiletries (there were very little provided given the number of people and days of the booking) but this is minor, we were able to source them from nearby supermarkets.

Comfortable as well as beautiful
Had a lovely fews days in this gorgeous house. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Great location. Everything is within easy walking distance and if you dont feel like cooking the food at the One Elm is very good. The only niggle we had was the level of heating as the weather had turned wet and chilly, and the stone and wooden floors meantbit sometimes felt a little cool.

Lovely cottage close to city centre
My friends and I stayed for three nights at this lovely cottage. It was the perfect location, close to town which enabled us to meet up with friends that live in the area. The cottage has everything you need for a nice break away; the beds were comfortable, kitchen well planned and a relaxing dining and living area. I’ll definitely book this place again.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Stratford Upon Avon
We had a lovely 4 night stay in the Shakespeare Cottage. Everything was clean and nicely done up. The beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything worked well. The location is unbeatable - a few minutes' walk to all the attractions that Stratford-Upon-Avon has to offer.

Fabulous stay
It was a fab little cottage right in the middle of Stratford. Great location. Everything was finished to a very high standard in the cottage and it was spotless. A fantastic welcome bottle and biscuits on arrival. Even milk in the fridge. Very accommodating lady who let us in to the cottage early. I really can’t fault the stay here. We all had a fab time and it was so lovely to come back to the cottage after walking around Stratford. The logs for the fire were very much appreciated too. I highly recommend this cottage.

Wonderful stay in a great cottage
Highly recommend cottage! Excellent location for exploring the town. Tastefully decorated throughout and had everything we needed. Real bonus having more than one bathroom when you’re a group of 6. Super comfy beds. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Great house. Great location
The house was very clean, comfortable and in a great central location. The only things that were missing were some basics like salt and pepper, hand wash in all the bathrooms and more than one toilet roll in the toilets! Those things would have made it 10/10.
