Cosy and cute

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in this cute cottage. Great location if you want peace and quiet. Good walks, lovely village and a good base to explore the surrounding area. The cottage was spotless. A tiny kitchen but all the equipment you need is there. Very comfortable bed. We are already planning our next stay!

Idyllic Cottage

The most beautiful cottage in a peaceful idyllic setting. Luxury toiletries and the best towels ever! Great location for access to other towns and villages. Many dog walks directly from the cottage. Couldn’t fault it.

Charming Cottage, tranquil location, beautifully appointed and decorated, lovely linen, comfy bed.

We loved our stay at Lockes Cottage it was simply charming. The location was very tranquil and exactly what we were looking for. The furnishing and decor was lovely and super comfy. The linen and towels were gorgeous and bed and pillows super comfy. We slept so well and had a really relaxing time. The log fire was brilliant and we enjoy using the compact but very well equipped kitchen.

A historic gem!

We loved our stay in Locke's Cottage. The village was so peaceful but only a short drive from the centre of Stratford, so an ideal location for sightseeing.

Comfortable cosy cottage

Locke Cottage is in the perfect location for lovely walks across the Alscot Estate and for visiting Stratford upon Avon. The cottage accommodated 2 people very comfortably for the 5 days of our stay. We enjoyed the wood burner in the evenings which made the downstairs very cosy.

Lovely with small flaws

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. But we would have wished for spare towels (one set for one week is not enough) and more toilet- paper. Also you hear the people living next door. In the kitchen-drawers you find stickers with the numbers of cutlery. That is a bit strange since it indicates that guests steal forks and knives ... Otherwise it is a really nice house with loads of atmosphere. You can take wonderful walks in the surrounding area and have only a short drive to Stratford-on-Avon. The village itself is also amazing.

A delightful cottage with all the modern home comforts

I had a wonderful stay in Locke's Cottage which was beautifully furnished, nestled in a pretty little village just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon and close to many attractions. It was very comfortable with lots of delightful features. Everything needed for a short stay was there. I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely cottage, great location

Lovely cottage, lots of character, high spec finish would very happily stay again. Preston on stour is a picturesque village on the edge of the Cotswolds, feels very rural but also only a couple of mins drive to good pub one direction and 5 mins to a big Waitrose and Stratford in the other.

What a gem

A very cosy cottage in a pretty & friendly village. Spotlessly clean on our arrival, a beautifully renovated bathroom with luxurious fluffy towels, comfortable bed with crisp clean bedding. Definitely recommend the local cafe for breakfast, the Full English needs to be pre-ordered.

Gorgeous retreat

Stayed for 4 days, gorgeous property in idyllic setting. Took our small dog who had a lovely time with all the walks in and around the village. Crisp white luxury bedding and fluffy white towels, gorgeous bath products. The property is unique with lots of history it has been refurbished in my opinion to 5 star comfort. Will take away very happy memories of our stay in this little hamlet.

I recommend Locke’s Cottage,we enjoyed our stay very much.

Locke’s Cottage looks beautiful from the outside and it was delightful inside. The touches of colour here and there on the walls and the furnishings are attractive and I loved the modern bathroom. The location is perfect, next to the village green and opposite the church, (no church bells), and there is parking for one car next to the gate. There is a garden with a table and chairs. The cottage is well equipped. The only thing lacking was instructions for the heaters, the oven and the induction hob. However Luke from the Alscot Estate reacted promptly , he came very quickly and showed me how to work the electric panel heaters. Jackie the housekeeper came and demonstrated how to use the cooker. The village is very quiet and it is a pleasant place to walk around.

Welcome Weekend Getaway at Lockes Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Lockes Cottage in spite of the horrendous weather that storm Darragh brought in. We were very cosy and had everything we required. Lovely village surrounded by wonderful places to visit. We would definitely recommend a stay and Lockes Cottage and we shall definitely be returning.

A wonderful cottage

I have just returned from a wonderful stay in the beautiful village of Preston on Stour and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday cottage. The location was superb — peaceful, picturesque and perfectly placed for exploring both Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds. What really made my stay special was the friendliness of the village community. I was even invited to join in the May Day celebrations, which made me feel incredibly welcome and added such a memorable touch to the holiday. The local café, set in the old school building, served delicious coffee and excellent food — a real gem. The cottage was also very pet friendly, which made the stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. Another big bonus was the designated parking space, which made everything so easy and stress-free. A truly relaxing and memorable stay in a stunning village setting. I would absolutely love to return.

Very relaxing

Cottage was lovely, very compact but comfortable and perfect for a couple. Nice walks nearby for our dog and the village was very peaceful. The village shop wasn't open during our visit, but it's a lovely amenity to have a few minutes walk away.

Stunning cottage

Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cottage. There has been no expense spared in refurbing this home. The decor and furnishings are beautiful and it was spotlessly clean. Perfect location for visiting Stratford upon Avon and the Cotswolds with plenty of walks on your doorstep. Highly recommend a visit to the Bell Inn in Alderminster for food.

Beautiful cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Locke Cottage. The village is lovely and the cottage is stunning inside and out, it had everything we could need for our stay. It is very well equipped and beautifully decorated and furnished to the highest standard. We loved the cosy feel and the fire. The garden was also lovely to sit out in and ideal for our pooch. Great communication and early check in was a bonus. The location is perfect near the Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon. Would highly recommend!

New years stay at Lockes cottage

We LOVED our stay in this beautiful cottage. Customer service and communication was excellent from booking, and we were treated a bottle of champagne and some wonderful coffee from local roasters on arrival. The cottage itself has everything you need, and was wonderfully cosy. The fire was perfect. It’s just a 10 minute drive to Stratford upon Avon, and there are several lovely walks around Preston-on-stour itself. Hopefully we’ll be back soon!

Pretty little cottage in an timeless, beautiful location

Really enjoyed our stay - helped by the excellent sunny weather, possible. Preston on Stour is a delightful place, and amazingly less then 10 minutes from Stratford on Avon (where we went to the theatre). Wonderful walks in the Ascot Estate with our dog, amazing 18th century interior to the local church. In the cottage, bathroom and bedroom were spoilingly well appointed. Kitchen is tiny but effective - but you're best off eating at a wonderful Cotswolds pub anyway. We tried one or two excellent recommendations.
