About this property
Nestled in the village of Napton-On-The-Hill in Warwickshire, is this lovely, detached shepherds hut, Robins Nest. Enjoying a contemporary interior with a blend of countryside with its wooden walls, this studio-style property is idyllic for a couple seeking a romantic hideaway. A single-track road will lead you to your holiday home, where you will find off-road parking and a front patio garden to savour the views. Climb two steps to reach Robins Nest and discover the open-plan living space, hosting a sleek kitchen area with an electric oven and hob to rustle up tasty meals. Join at the dining table to enjoy a heart-warming meal and crisp glass of wine as you recall the day's adventures. If the sun is shining, outdoor furniture may entice you to have an alfresco affair; here you can soak in the countryside views and the owner's nearby workshop until the sun sets. As the evening cools, retire inside and take a hot shower and you can leave your towel on the heated rail to keep it fluffy and warm. Snuggle up on the leather sofa and flicker through the Smart TV for a film night or climb into the king-size bed and escape into a good book. Enjoy a coffee on the side patio as your canine companion stretches their legs and make an itinerary for the day ahead. Explore your local surroundings with a visit to Wigrams Turn Marina, lined with boats or for a peaceful fishing spot there is Napton Fishing Pools, but if that's not for you, unwind in Napton Cidery. Settled in the Warwickshire countryside is the market town of Southam, hosting a selection of restaurants to get dressed up and independent shops for unique garments. Visit the medieval town of Stratford-upon-Avon, which is steeped in history as Shakespeare's birthplace and is home to The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, as well as boat cruises along the River Avon. For a romantic break to the countryside, consider Robins Nest.
A vibrant Domesday Book community with a 12th century church, a number of nice pubs, a great shop, Post Office, tearoom, and marina with narrow boat hire. Southam, a nearby historic town, has more services, such as a supermarket, a regular farmers' market, and a recreation centre. There are numerous walks in the vicinity, including the Millennium Way, Oxford Canal Walk, and Grand Union Canal Walk. Draycote Water, which offers 650 acres of water for sailors and windsurfers, as well as excellent hikes, cycle trails, birdwatching, and fishing, is also nearby.

It is a lovely modern hut equipped with everything you could need. Was clean, comfortable, and extremely cosy. We spent our evenings in there just chilling which was so needed. It is next to one small cottage and is surrounded by now planted trees which you don't see in the photos but it has made it private with a now well established beautiful private little garden. Was great for the dog. It has a great gastro pub the King's Head just up the road serving stunning food and a shop in Napton that sells anything you might need. We visited a few parks all approximately 20 to 30 minutes away by car. Southam, Leamington Spa, Daventry, Kenilworth and Stratford all small drives away making it great for days out. We will definitely return. Both of us and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. Thank you.

We stayed 3 nights so my wife could go to a school reunion evening in Rugby, it was a great base to sight see and see her old haunts.
