  Booked this as a post Christmas break for my parents and they loved it!

  As a family that have continued to Shield due to extremely vulnerable adults they were impressed with the high level of cleanliness on arrival and we’re immediately put at ease. They both love Stratford and come frequently, usually staying in hotels but they said this house was perfect for more space and privacy but close enough to both the historical centre and the newer retail park to really experience the area. Both were impressed with all the amenities and gadgets in the kitchen and said it had everything they needed and more and it took my dad minutes to connect the tv to all our streaming services, so another plus as this really was meant to be a relaxing break and he has found some smart TV’s difficult to navigate meaning no access to their favourite shows. They said they felt lovely and cosy but it would be perfect for my little family of 4 too. My boys were very jealous about their Grandma and Grandad having a hot tub, unfortunately being January neither were brave enough to use it but did comment on how lovely the garden was and did enjoy a few lates breakfasts out there on the odd mild day. Love that there’s an EV charging point too, definite bonus for the future as we’re not electric yet but soon will be.

  We loved our stay here and gave taken our time over giving feedback because we weren't sure whether to mention the cleanliness as most of our experience was positive.

  We know from speaking to the owner that she has a housekeeper and would like to advise she either hires another or speaks to her/him.. most of the cottage was lovely and clean but the kitchen table, chairs and under the table had crumbs from a previous guests stay and on the kitchen side when I wiped it with a wet kitchen roll in the corner behind the kettle it came away black.. this was enough to send us to the shop to buy cleaning products. My husband chased our child's pencil down the side of the sofa and it was full of crumbs too.. That being said the cottage was overall the perfect location for visiting the area and we did enjoy our stay here. We met the owner and she was lovely and very helpful. With a note to the WiFi as people have had problems in the past, while we were their the owner was in the process of updating the WiFi, this was completed on our second day and once done it workes perfectly and we had no issues. I would recommend this cottage to other people, the only reason we mention the cleaning is we think the owner is being taking advantage of by the cleaner.

  My wife and I stayed for a week with our two boys, 4 & 7, at the end of August ‘22.

  Meg’s Cottage is lovely. All on one level apart from three steps up into one bedroom at one end. This bedroom has two single beds and was ideal for our boys. It has an en-suite shower room and hanging storage. At the other end is a double room with another en-suite shower room, with wardrobe and drawer storage. The rest of the cottage is open plan lounge, kitchen, dining room which is light, airy and well appointed. Really easy to find and to access. Next to a holiday park which has a bar and restaurant venue which had an outdoor cinema, kids play area and mini golf area. It also had a river taxi (6 people at a time) but there was often a long wait for this so we didn’t use it. Great location as it was easy to drive to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and surrounding areas like Bidford-on-Avon. Really quiet area too. Parking next to the cottage with a convenience store, pub and restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this cottage

  Globe Cottage is well placed for walking into the centre of Stratford on Avon (10 minute walk), is in a nice quiet residential neighbourhood and has the added benefit of a hot tub.

  The upstairs bedrooms are very “cosy” and if you are tall you do have to be very careful of the sloped ceilings to avoid any head banging. Cottage rules are very specific about hot tub care and ph levels of the water, however, the solutions were not all available when we were there and had to be posted to us, even after adding them the ph level never got to the required standard, the hot tub engineer really needs to sort this out or the Cottage manual needs to be amended to avoid guests being uneasy about this issue. There are a couple of maintenance issues in the house, firstly the seal around the shower door leaks badly and you end up with a big puddle on the floor if you don’t put something underneath the bath, and secondly both the doors to the utility room and the breakfast room area stick to the floor when you try to open them as they do not fit correctly and need planing, small expense would make use much easier and more pleasant.

  We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Meg's Cottage.

  The property was warm and very comfortable, especially the sofas! After reading the previous reviews, we were prepared for intermittent wifi. However, the owners have now rectified this and we had no issues with it, including the use of the smart tv. The cottage is situated in a beautiful area with lots to see and do locally. We can recommend Aladdins Indian restaurant and the Riverside restaurant for food/drink, both of which are within walking distance. We also visited Stratford, Warwick Castle and Charlecote Park which were lovely days out and all within 15 minutes drive. The Dirty Duck pub in Stratford is well worth a visit too. We would recommend Meg's Cottage for those wanting a peaceful retreat. The owners were easily contactable for any queries and we would definitely stay in their cottage again.
