  Whilst the property was finished to a very high building spec.

  It lacked many things. E.G. no hairdryer, nothing to dry the clothes on when washed in the Miele washing machine (we had to go and ask for something). No basins, milk jug, scales, serving spoons, fruit bowl, casserole dish, dishwasher tablets (2 would have been nice), no chairs and table for the garden only a wooden bench for 2.! The Aga had been switched off for summer (we hadn't been told) so no hob to boil on. Only a microwave/convection oven that had no where to keep some of the food hot. There were information leaflets on the area but 2023 not 24. There were very limited instruction books for the appliances. No welcome pack. The kitchen is quite small to fit 6 people around the table and for you to move around the kitchen -- so difficult for 6 people. Having had many years using Sykes for great holiday experiences this was sadly not on that level. It could easily be improved, with proper utensils, pots and pans, casseroles etc. for the kitchen. but space in the kitchen was not good. The kitchen window has a great crack where something has hit it. As there is no pub close enough to walk to it is more essential to have a well equipped kitchen with a cooker with a hob and if not to inform potential hirers that this is the case. I notice on the previous feedback that they had experienced the same, but sadly didn't read this until we were in the property. added to which there was no information on local places to eat but no maps for walks, no games for children etc. no books not even a pack of cards.

  I was very surprised to find was owned by a local cleaning ‘solutions’ company… The following solutions were not met.

  Having stayed a few weeks before for another two weeks I found the same issues which even after reporting were not addressed or even responded to. The shower and bath had not been cleaned at all with footprints and scum rings in the bath and mould and hairs in the shower. The sewer pipe had a leak above the front door so expect an outdoor shower when emptying the bath and we were left with a dirty mop behind the electric fire to mop up a leaking chimney. There were stains all over the fireplace due to the leak and it would only have needed a lick of paint…. There was a lot of mould growing behind the bed. Were left a couple of toilet rolls and a bin bag for two weeks so had to go out and buy some more and some bathroom cleaner and bleach. Matters were raised by email with owner for resolution but I heard absolutely diddly squat back…. Other than that it was a charming building character wise in a nice location.

  We had a really wonderful week in this lovely, clean, well appointed cottage.

  Very comfy chairs & footstools in the lounge. There was everything in the kitchen that you could possibly need, with quality cutlery/crockery etc.& a lovely welcome tray. The bedding & towels, were beautiful, all top quality. A nice bedroom, overlooking the garden with a very comfortable bed & separate spacious dressing room. A beautiful bathroom & shower. A lovely quiet, well looked after garden, with new garden furniture for dining outdoors, & dappled shade if needed. It was a quiet area, with a short cut through walk to the river Avon & Stratford town centre. Lovely walks along the river, lots to see & do. Parking on the driveway. This is the nicest self catering holiday accommodation we have ever had, a very pleasant surprise. If we could give this cottage higher than 10 we would. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Sandra

  We had a wonderful stay at Jubilee Cottage; the perfect base for us to visit family in Warwickshire & Oxfordshire.

  The cottage was perfect, so beautifully and comfortably furnished, the owners had thought of everything - and the bottle of prosecco and crisps were such a lovely surprise, so kind, thank you! - and we were delighted to find the cottage all ready decorated with Christmas trees and fairy lights which made our stay even more festive! It was the ideal accommodation for our family of 4 plus dog; we all loved it so much! The village itself is so pretty, and bonus for us that the village pub reopened while we were there having been closedfor 6 months, so of course we had to pop in for a drink - such a cosy friendly place! We definitely intend to stay in Jubilee Cottage again next time we visit family in the area. Thank you so much to the owners :)

  We had a lovely week in "The View" We have stayed in a lot of rental properties over many years and this has to be one of the best.

  It was very comfortable and the attention to detail was excellent. The view over the small lake was lovely and the wood beyond was a lovely place for a peaceful walk with wild deer. The location is ideal for exploring the area Although we had the most rain ever recorded for the week it was easy to get to local places. We visited Black country museum - Birmingham. Coventry motor museum. Stratford upon Avon, Litchfield. Warwick and there are National trust properties within easy reach, and we did walks along the canals when we had drier weather. If I had to sum up in a few words it would be "Peacefull and Tranquill" We met the owners who were lovely and were there if needed but did not interfere. Thank You
