This was a stunning house to stay for my sisters hen weekend. The kitchen and lounge area was perfect for our group of 11.It says to sleep 15 which would have been a squeeze. But the dining area was spot on too. About a 20 minutes walk to town centre which was convenient.

Great party house, nice garden with table and plenty of chairs plus BBQ. Kitchen and downstairs very spacious and well equipped.However, it does say it sleeps 14 to 15 which is misrepresented. Bedroom 3 does not have two double beds one bed plus a very thin mattress. Bedroom 5 does not have twin beds and bedroom 6 does not have one twin and one double very misleading!We were a party of 13 and It was fortunate my son came in his camper van and three of them slept in that! Basically this house is suitable to sleep 10 to 11 people maximum this house is being mis-sold regarding the sleeping arrangements.

Lovely stay in Stratford home

The house was ideal for our two families meeting up for a birthday celebration. The location was great and walking distance to town centre. All rooms were neat and tidy. The living room area was so warm and relaxing with a log fire. The kitchen was very practical and we could all fit around the island when preparing and cooking food.

Family Wedding

Very spacious house for family gathering. We are a family of seven adults and the house had plenty of room for more. The house is ideally situated in walking distance to Stratford’s town centre, yet far enough removed from crowded tourists. We had a lovely time.

Roomy house in Shottery

We were a party of 10 adults (4 couples and two singles) and enjoyed our two night stay at Oak Cottage. Downstairs is very roomy, where we could congregate as a group or find a quiet space. We snugly fitted round the formal dining room and filled the 4 double and 2 single bedrooms on the first floor. Well equipped kitchen and huge fridge freezer made catering very easy. It’s an easy walk of a mile into the town centre and we would really recommend a guided tour. Friendly pub Bell at Shottery less than 5 minutes walk away. Would recommend Oak Cottage but think that it would need to be a family group with small children to accommodate 12-15 people.

Wonderful house well equiped with plenty of room for all.

Great place to invite friends and family for a big birthday party. 2 notes to make it even better, 1. Put the hair dryer in a bedroom or bathroom not an otterman in the kitchen! (One of the kids found it, but only after we borrowed one) 2 The house is delightfully free from notes, but recycling rules vary wildly over the country. A note of what sorting is required in Stratford and which days to put out which bins would be most useful.

Excellent in parts

Oak Cottage is in a good location and the downstairs area great for socialising. The kitchen is so well stocked it made cooking easy. The large dining table can just about fit 12. The upstairs wasn’t quite as I’d expected. The room labelled as “two double beds” was one double bed and a small mattress, not really suitable for adults. The room labelled as a double bed and a single bed, was again a single mattress on the floor, as was another “single bed”. A few people found the duvets not warm enough (but appreciate this is personal taste).

Host Teresa-Anne is available and a great asset to the property. The property is well located and it’s easy to use to walk to all Shakespeare’s locations.Property has 6 bedrooms with four double beds and 2 small single bed rooms. While the listing says there are fold out beds - they are barely 3 inch floppy foam constructs.The kitchen has a small oven, and the cooking utensils are in need of being updated. Fortunately it was winter and we could use the AGA - which is finicky, and cuts out if not treated just right (increase temp a half step ever half hour), and has no temperature gauge so makes for a guessing cook.The house cleaners seriously let the owners down. There were thick layers of dust and dirt in the drawers, on surfaces and on door frames. We spent the first two hours cleaning and purchased air filtration to mitigate the allergens.The furniture is old - in particular the couch in the kitchen and the bed mattresses need replacement. The bedding is paper thin, the pillows flat, towels threadbare and have holes, and the nothing matches.With a long overdue refresh of linens, towels, bedding, furniture; a proper deep clean, increasing the available cooking methods in the kitchen, and a replenishment of cooking utensils this property could shine.

The freezer was full of food, many opened boxes and packets, and item wrapped in foil. There was only one shelf that I could use. A larder cupboard in the kitchen area was full of used/ open items, incl. oil bbf 2022. My food was stored on the worktops. Two double beds in one room was in fact one bed and a mattress on the floor. One bedroom had a wardrobe full of clothes and other things on the floor. We found that most of the drawers in each room had items in them, inculding a old make up used razor and medication. There were cobwebs on the inside of windows and dust/dirt on a several surfaces. Although Theresa-Anne responded quickly to my messages, her reason for the house being the way I found it was that family members often stayed there. I feel things should have been checked before we arrived. Having said all this we did have a nice holiday. The children and dog enjoyed the garden and having 2 dishwashers was a benefit as there were 12 of us.

Amazing stay in this spacious character property. Everything we needed for a girlie night away for 6 of us (a room each). We had great weather so we could sit in the quiet garden. Masses of ice in the freezer and an ice machine so that was a bonus. Highly recommend.
