About this property

Idyllically positioned amongst the rolling countryside of South Warwickshire, on the outskirts of the medieval town of Stratfordupon-Avon, rests this contemporary two-bedroom holiday home, Holly Cottage. Park up on the gravelled driveway, settle in and then enjoy a seat in the front garden, soaking up the last of the sunshine with your favourite tipple, don’t be worried about charging your electric car, plug into the EV fast charge point provided, and relax. Boasting a spacious yet homely interior whilst enjoying close proximity to a host of outdoor excursions, including the Cotswold Way escarpment for fantastic walking, Holly Cottage is an excellent base for a group of four seeking a rural retreat with all conveniences of Stratford upon Avon. Stepping inside, be charmed by the effortless blend of contemporary and traditional decor, with exposed wooden beams and a wood effect electric stove offering a snug space to unwind in the sitting room, whilst a well-designed royal blue kitchen/diner is sure to be the heart of the home. Utilise the fantastic range of facilities provided to whip up a hearty meal to be enjoyed at the dining table, or throw open the bi-fold doors and indulge in a spot of alfresco dining in the peaceful setting of your private patio garden. Flick on the Smart TV with Netflix and enjoy a family-favourite, snuggled up with your loved ones on the sofa, or if you'd prefer some solace, climb the stairs to the first floor and indulge in a blissful soak amongst the bubbles in the bathroom. Catch your rest ahead of a new day in one of two well-presented bedrooms, with the choice between a king with an en-suite shower room or a twin adjacent to the large family bathroom. Holly Cottage nestles in the heart of the Conservation Area in the beautiful, friendly village of Clifford Chambers. Many circular walks can be taken from the village including the renowned “Three Villages Walk” along the beautiful Stour Valley.

For a wider variety of choice, venture into the heart of Stratfordupon-Avon where you'll find a fabulous collection of eateries to choose from, including pubs, restaurants and takeaways, sure to serve something to suit everyone.

A trip to Stratford wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to catch a live performance, whilst The Shakespeare Centre and Shakespeare's Birthplace are the perfect spot for those looking to discover more of the famous playwright. Take a boat trip on the river Avon, a guided town walk or explore the local area and Shakespeare properties on an open topped bus. Within an hours drive discover numerous National Trust properties and landscapes including the world famous Hidcote Manor Gardens only seven miles distant. Iconic honey coloured villages and North Cotswold market towns such as Broadway, Stow on the Wold and Burford are on your doorstep. Chipping Campden marking the start

of the Cotswold Way is less than ten miles away.

There's plenty more to see and do in the nearby town of Warwick including taking a step back in time with a tour of Warwick Castle, with a fascinating history dating back to 1068.

For a different experience perhaps you could try your luck on the

horses at Stratford or Warwick racecourses. Alternatively arrange a holiday to coincide with the famous Cheltenham Festival featuring the Cheltenham Gold Cup. However, you plan to spend your time, an unforgettable holiday awaits at Holly Cottage.

Steeped in history, the picture-perfect town of Stratford-upon-Avon rests amongst the countryside of Warwickshire. Famed as the birthplace of famous playwright, William Shakespeare, and home to the world renowned Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford is a hub of culture. The glistening waters of the River Avon run through the town and offer scenic cruise opportunities. Warwick, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh are all within easy reach, each well worth a visit.

  • Randy

    The owners who live next door have done a great job in converting this building into a most comfortable two bedroom cottage. Besides the Royal Shakespeare Company close at hand there are National Trust houses and gardens, wonderful villages and countryside, so lots to see and do. Highly recommend.

    The cottage itself is beautiful (loved the decor throughout!) and has such a warm, homely vibe. We enjoyed lots of cosy evenings watching movies after busy days out. We also enjoyed using the kitchen facilities to make some meals in aswell as enjoying meals out in the local pub and in Stratford itself. The owners have prepared a very informative guest book which provides a plethora of suggestions and on this basis we even ordered a local pizza delivery. There are so many places to visit near to the cottage! We spent days in Stratford, National Trust Properties, Warwick Castle, the Cotswolds and more. The village itself is so peaceful and I am already missing waking up to the sounds of the birds chirping as the only noise to be heard. My husband really liked the social club across the road where he was able to watch a couple of football matches. We went as a family one night and we were welcomed warmly … even bought some local eggs from behind the bar! Thank you for a wonderful stay (and for the Easter card, Easter eggs and biscuits) - we will 100% be returning!

    We had a lovely time in a beautiful cottage, in a great location - so much to do!! The best bit for us was the proximity to Stratford and the theatre. We would definitely like to return.
