This was our third visit here and as before, had everything we needed for a lovely stay. It's situated by the canal in the peaceful village of Wilmcote, with easy access to bus stops, the railway station and the canal tow path.There are lots of local footpaths to explore the area and you can even walk into Stratford upon Avon from here.Would highly recommend for comfort, facilities, and ambience.

Our second stay here, this time with friends. Just perfect. Immaculately clean, so comfortable and well equipped. Amazingly beautiful location and very private. Wonderful canal side walks on the doorstep. We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and this one surpasses them all. There are so many places to visit in the area too. We had lovely meals at The View and The Bell , Welford on Avon. Several NT properties nearby. All in all, a wonderful few days. Thank you, Liz
