Cotswolds Farm - Beautiful Hay Barn conversion

EllieRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had a lovely stay for a few nights. It wasn't great weather, so the little games room on site was very useful to entertain the kids. Great, quiet, countryside location but not too far from pubs etc. The barn had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.

We stayed at Compton House with a group of friends for a birthday celebration and the house was perfect. Location was great for dog walking and for wandering into Chipping Campden village with it’s lovely shops. Beautifully clean and we were left a welcome pack that was such a lovely touch. Would highly recommend

Quirky Cotswold Country Cottage, Tranquil Village

VickiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We were looking for a quiet spot where we could go for daily walks, work on puzzles, read and relax. This charming house had it all. Edwina gave us excellent advice on walks and dining in the area and it was spot on. Edwina always responded promptly with answers to our multiple questions. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and a fire was laid in the Inglenook fireplace ready to be lit upon arrival. There was also a welcome basket with goodies with everything needed to get us started. Edwina and the house could not be more cozy and welcoming.

Very nice house. In the Malvern Hills so it was possible to get out and start walking. The walks were beautiful. There is a hotel and restaurant 20 mins walk away for drinks and dinner.

Cider Mill Cottage at Mutlows Farm

KirstyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay in Cider Mill Cottage. It’s nice to find somewhere aimed at couples that has a bit more space, especially as we have two large dogs. The enclosed courtyard was also really handy for the dogs. The cottage itself is really lovely; warm, homely and cosy, and very nicely decorated. The shower is great, the towels nice and fluffy, and the pillows really comfy. Loads of local info and maps are also provided in the cottage. There’s not much within walking distance but Great Malvern is only 15 minutes in the car, along with the famous Malvern hills which are beautiful, and Hanley Swan is a short drive and has a lovely pub.

Your guide to Stratford-upon-Avon

All About Stratford-upon-Avon

Situated on the picturesque River Avon in the West Midlands in the heart of England, Stratford-upon-Avon is a town of legacy and creativity with more than 800 years of history to explore. Birthplace of one of the world’s most celebrated playwrights, Stratford draws visitors worldwide to its many attractions, including Shakespeare’s Birthplace.

Once a medieval market town drawing traders from surrounding areas, Stratford is still known for thriving independent stores and traditional shopfronts and signs. Rows of black-and-white timbered Tudor buildings set along cobbled streets add to the traditional English feel of the town. Some local buildings date back to the 16th century, reminiscent of a place that the Bard himself would have known. Today, Stratford-upon-Avon is lively with plenty of enthusiasm for its most famous resident and his works. With a strong local theatre and drama scene, there is always a performance to catch while in town.

You’ll also find plenty of bars, restaurants, and riverside businesses to enjoy. The ancient Saxon town of Warwick, which has one of the most intact and impressive surviving medieval castles in the world, is only a 20-minute drive away.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Stratford-upon-Avon

Cottages in Stratford-upon-Avon are very popular in the peak summer months, but just as cosy in other seasons. Consider an autumn visit to see the town and river in all their natural glory. Shakespeare’s birthday is a local day of celebration, with plenty of festivities on the 23rd of April. Following that is the Stratford Literary Festival, which usually takes place at the end of May and draws in many big-name authors. The main attractions of Stratford-upon-Avon are open year-round. If you’d like to see a specific theatre performance, you can check out the announcements on the local event pages.


Top things to do in Stratford-upon-Avon

Shakespeare’s Birthplace

A visit to Stratford-upon-Avon wouldn’t be complete without seeing Shakespeare’s former home. He was born and grew up in this 16th-century timbered house, where he continued to live in the early years of his marriage. You may also want to check out Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, a romantic thatched abode where William’s future wife was born.

Mechanical Art and Design Museum

Known as the MAD museum, this is England’s only mechanical art venue. The exhibition space is full of buttons, contraptions, and gizmos from different artists and creators. From steampunk gadgets to mechanical dinosaurs, the interactive displays inspire creativity and innovation for all ages.

Canal Basin

The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal connects the town to the Grand Union Canal, which reaches the Thames west of London. Once a vital river port, this area has been converted to a marina of pretty houseboats and boat-based businesses. You may even enjoy a cream tea cruise to take in the town from a different angle.
