Lovely property, perfect for our multi generational weekend. Lots of space, very clean and a fully equipped kitchen. The children loved the garden and meeting Mavis next door. Good base for exploring the Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely village

As a group of friends we were delighted with the cottage and location. Two pubs/restaurants within a short stroll were charming with good food. Beautiful dog friendly garden with comfortable seating/dining options. The Community shop was incredible with everything you need and more. This is a real gem.

Gardeners cottage is beautiful and is of a very high standard. We have a wonderful family weekend there and our grandsons loved the garden and meeting the owner and his dog. We hope to return to this wonderful place in a quiet village with superb amenities.

Blissful retreat

What a beautiful cottage! This was a perfect place for our family holiday. Comfortable and welcoming cottage with great amenities set in a picturesque village. South facing garden meant we could use the gas BBQ and ample patio seating for a family of 7. Would definitely recommend!

Glorious stay

We had a wonderful stay at Gardners house, it’s in a idillic, peaceful location with a well stocked community store and cafe nearby - much recommended for a cup of tea and tea cake. The local area has some great walks with views from the Ilmington downs of Birmingham, Warwick and Leamington on the horizon. The house is a good size and the owners very friendly and helpful, it’s dog friendly and the garden is completely enclosed. I wish I could have stayed!

Simply an amazing property.

This cottage is something else, wonderfully finished and perfect for a couples weekend or with the family. Large inside and a great outdoor area. The village is equally as good. Simply perfect.

A perfect getaway.

Our stay was to celebrate a birthday with all of the family. The bedroom and bathroom situation was perfect. The kitchen and dining area was everything we wanted as was the cosy lounge. We also had lovely weather so we were able to enjoy the garden. The quality of the renovation on the property was very much appreciated. We found the kitchen to be very well equipped and appreciated having plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses. We were provided with a high chair but a travel cot would have been appreciated. We also used the open fire in the evening which was an added bonus. The house is in a beautiful village which we really enjoyed exploring.

Fantastic Accommodation

Gardners Cottage is a really lovely house set in a beautiful village. Two great pubs and a shop within walking distance which means you don't even need to leave the village, however Stratford is only a short drive away and a great place to visit. Communication has been great and the owner was very helpful. A perfect place to get together with some good friends, we would all highly recommend. Thank you.

Just Perfect

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage. It was immaculately clean, spacious and really well equipped. The beds were really comfortable and we absolutely loved the garden. Oli was responsive and helpful with any queries raised. There was nothing we could fault and we would love to return one day.

4 night family break at Gardners Cottage

Beautifully renovated cottage in an ideal location. Bedrooms all very comfortable and the kitchen was a perfect social space for our family reunion. The village shop and cafe just a short walk away are well worth a visit. Highly recommended - hope to book again in the future.

Lovely home in a wonderful village

None of us wanted to leave. The house is of the highest standard, the village is delightful, the walks are wonderful and the whole area has loads of things to do. Three generations of the family plus the dog had such a good time. So much attention to detail and comfort has been given to the house and garden, we really couldn't want for anything. It is definitely a cut above the average. Would highly recommend. We shall be returning.

Very good, would stay again

We had three generations of the family staying at Gardners Cottage and everyone had a great time! The house is a wonderful renovation, mixing the old with new, with a beautiful garden that contained mature plants and trees despite the rebuild. The village seemed idyllic, with a playpark, two pubs and a community café & shop. There were things for the family to do in the area, and it was also possible to go on walks from the house. It was very easy to contact the manager/owner if there were any issues. It all made for a lovely break.
