What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was in a nice location, close to Stratford, but far enough out to be quiet, with some local amenities such as a shop and restaurants.

  The furnishings were nice and the sofas were comfy, and we liked the character of the property. We appreciated the 2 bathrooms, although the toilets used macerators and were very noisy. However, this is the most expensive 2 bedroomed property we have ever stayed in (presumably partly due to covid) and we felt there were some things lacking given the cost of the holiday. There were gaps at ceiling level between the 3 rooms which meant that noise travelled freely, making sleep difficult if anyone else was in the main living area. We felt there could have been more crockery as there were only 4 of a number of items. As it was the height of summer, an outdoor dining table and chairs with umbrella would have been a useful addition so that a meal could be eaten outside. As others have said the wifi was very poor, and we felt that the cleaning could have been better in some areas (eg the bedrooms which were dusty in places and had numerous spiders). Overall the space was quite small, probably better suited for a autumn/winter short break rather than a main summer holiday. Overall we have enjoyed our break and exploring the surrounding areas, in particular Warwick Castle which is only a 15 min drive away. Unfortunately the water taxi was not operating during our stay.

  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

  Lovely cottage, comfortable beds, pleasant venue and nicely provisioned accomodation.

  As others have commented the wifi wasn't reliable. I would have preferred to be aware of the caravan and camping site next to the cottage when I made the booking rather than finding out when the directions arrived. Though we were not the least disturbed and heard no noise. Finally given the time of covid I was surpised to find open food items of flour, oil, and unopened juice and milk, presumably left by the previous occupants in the cupboard/fridge. I was also surprised the oven glove and kitchen towels were used and assumed the previous occupant had left them. Thankfully we had our own with us. There were also socks in a bedroom drawer. These were minor things but affected my feelings about the accomodation and made me doubt it had been properly cleaned, as did the sticky kitchen floor. I would have expected any items like this to have been removed and the floor to be cleaned.

  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
