The house has been given a great deal of thought to make a stay there most enjoyable. We were there for a fortnight , mid holiday the cleaner came to change all the linen and towels. She was delightful, cheery and friendly. The cottage is in easy reach of many interesting places. If you are a gardener do visit Fosse Way garden centre. It is amazing. For bric a brac lovers the barn on Long Marston Rd and on the way to Mickleton are a must. Should you run out of anything you need the Londis and Premier stores do their best to provide. We had a most enjoyable holiday and weâre lucky to have wonderful weather.

Everything was great, the only minor criticism was the cleanliness was not quite as good as last yearâs stay as regards the kitchen, but nothing major that would stop us from returning. The bottle of fiz was very welcome. Overall a lovely house in an excellent location for visiting Stratford and the local area. Thank you from the Ferrier Family
