The Old Workshop is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the quiet location with easy access to countryside walks and nearby attractions. The property is described as lovely and relaxing, with a friendly host and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack and lemon drizzle cake. It's ideal for family gatherings and group stays, offering ample space and en-suite rooms.
Guests consistently mention the property being spotlessly clean, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. One review suggested minor improvements could elevate the experience, but overall, the cleanliness is highly commended.
The location is frequently described as quiet and convenient for exploring local attractions, with easy access to countryside walks, pubs, and shopping in Stratford. The rural setting with wildlife adds to the charm, although one review mentioned the lack of a clear sign for directions.
Comfort is a strong point for The Old Workshop, with numerous reviews praising the very comfy beds, powerful showers, and underfloor heating. The property provides a homely and modern environment suitable for relaxation.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample bathrooms. However, some reviews point out the need for maintenance and updates on certain items like BBQ, crockery, and bathroom cabinets, which slightly lowers the score.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of welcome packs, a lemon drizzle cake, and flowers. These gestures are appreciated by guests, although it should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had a fabulous holiday, everything was perfect at The Old Workshop. Lovely quiet location, easy access to countryside walks and NT Houses with the added bonus of Stratford shopping! Everything needed for a great stay plus very comfy beds. Spotlessly clean. Friendly host Will made us feel very welcome. Looking to book again next year.
