"Fabulous, cosy and well equipped cottage."
David the owner gave us lots of useful suggestions for things to do in the area. We walked along the river into town, visited the RSC theatre, went to several nearby NT properties and did a lovely drive into the Cotswolds. Would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you Helen for taking the time to post your comments. I'm very pleased to know that you enjoyed the area and the house and I hope that you'll be back again. With kind regards. David

"A beautifully presented holiday home and garden in a calm environment yet within walking distance of the historic town of Stratford upon Avon and all it has to offer."
You should want for nothing but if you do then David, the property owner, is only a message away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Home Straight and look forward to a return visit.

"'Home Straight' is very conveniently located for a traffic free walk into Stratford and for accessing the Greenway."
And the effort made by our host to give us a comfortable and enjoyable stay was greatly appreciated. We would be more than happy to make a return visit.

"We were delighted with our recent stay at Home Straight."
A perfect little property, ideal for two, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a great location for exploring Stratford and the local area. Lovely welcome treats of wine, tea, coffee and biscuits were also gratefully received. We will most certainly book again.

The property and garden is beautiful and well maintained :-)
The location is ideal - walking distance along the river to the town and all the Shakespeare attractions including the Holy Trinity church.

"Excellent, would recommend to others."
A very peaceful location and owner David showed us a great no-road walk into Stratford taking in the church and river. Lovely garden, very well maintained. Hope to return. There is a small freezer which is not mentioned in the description.

"Thank you for a wonderful stay at Home Straight!"
A very clean and cosy house with a well equipped kitchen. Our toddler loved playing in the beautiful garden. Our host was very helpful, the welcome videos about the property were really useful and the welcome biscuits and fizz were very well received. A great location for exploring Stratford upon Avon, was a short walk into the town and the books, guides and leaflets left in the house were really helpful for us to plan our week. We would definitely recommend this property and very likely to return too!

Good communication with the owner from the beginning to end of the booking process.

"Highly recommended."
I had a most enjoyable week at Home Straight. The house was immaculate and very well equipped. It is well situated, in a quiet part, but was an easy walk into Stratford, which I did a number of times. Very handy to not to have to take the car. Obviously there is much to be seen in Stratford.
It was a pleasure to meet David, who was a most helpful host.

"Booked a weeks stay at Home Straight from the 2nd of June 2023 to the 9th, we had some business to see to in Lapworth and this was just a 30 minute drive away, so it was very convenient for us."
The house was absolutely lovely, a very quiet location, but a few minutes drive into the centre of Stratford, to walk maybe 10 to 15 minutes, the decor was light and airy, with a nice modern kitchen, which is well equipped, the garden is very pretty and landscaped beautifully, with garden furniture, to sit out in and enjoy the birds tweeting around you, upstairs there is a nice bathroom with fabulous towels provided, a good sized single bedroom, and a beautiful master bedroom which is a great size, lovely and bright, and a most comfortable King size bed, the bed linen, and pillows are very luxurious, it was very hard to get out of it of a morning as you would feel so comfortable.
The property owner was most helpful, and was happy to provide recommendations on various places if required, you only had to text him or give a call, as it happened we only got to meet him on the morning of our departure, and what a lovely guy he is, hopefully we will be returning in the future as it is a beautiful part of the country and we really did enjoy our stay there, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Thanks David.

"Who hasn’t booked a weekend stay in a cutesy looking, olde worlde, cottage only to find it drafty, cold and with tired decor and linen?"
No such issues at Home Straight! A modern, bright and super clean base for exploring Stratford and the surrounding countryside. The bed was the comfiest we’ve ever experienced. Exquisite bed linen and fluffy, generous sized, towels included. A lovely secluded garden space with table and chairs, a perfect spot for morning coffee. Stratford is a delightful town with plenty of independent shops and eateries and a real sense of history. Plus, of course, the theatres and birthplace associated with Shakespeare. We throughly enjoyed our stay in this quiet area of Stratford.

"We enjoyed our stay at Home Straight."
The house is welcoming, clean
and comfortable, with everything we needed. The small and pretty back
garden is well laid out and was like having another room. We enjoyed
eating alfresco with a glass or three of wine on one our evenings.
The only tiny criticism is that the carpets are a little tired in
places (mostly on the stairs), but apart from that the house was near
perfect for the two of us and this wouldn’t put us off coming back.
We enjoyed walking by the river and mooching around the shops in
Stratford, which we really enjoyed and on one of the days we drove up
to the stunningly beautiful Kiftsgate and Hidcote Manor Gardens
(National Trust) (about 20 - 25 minutes away). We also had a quick
look at Chipping Campden (really lovely!), which is very close to the
gardens.
There’s a lot to explore in this area and we’ll certainly be coming
back later in the year to do more and we’ll definitely be returning to
Home Straight. Thank you all!
Thank you Clare.
I'm very pleased that you enjoyed your time at the house and in the area. Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We hope to see you again soon.
- You mentioned the carpets and I'm pleased to let you know that Home Straight is being fully re-carpeted this coming week :)

"We loved this place."
The property (Home-Straight) and the location. We don’t normally book modern properties, but we will certainly do it again because this house worked really well for us. It’s well equipped, very clean, cosy, comfortable and quiet. The small garden is lovely and private, although we didn’t have much time to enjoy it because we were busy (so lounging on the garden swing-seat with a good book and a good glass will have to wait until our next visit I guess!).
We’d booked Home-Straight because we wanted to see Stratford AND we wanted to spend a little time in the Cotswolds (lovely Mickleton is an easy 15-minute drive, Hidcote garden 20 mins). It was a good decision. This house is perfectly situated for both. We packed a lot in, we did one of the theatres (yes, there is more than one!), Shakespeare houses, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Holy Trinity Church and a couple of (really good!) eateries (we LOVED Lambs in the town centre).
We like walking and the house is only 5 mins. from the Greenway, which is right by the river (we really enjoyed Bobby’s café and the amazing cakes). We wished we’d brought our bikes (next time perhaps!).
When we return (and we will return!) we’ll spend more time, because there’s a lot more here than we’d realised. Next time we’ll spend longer and go in the other direction and maybe even a day at Stratford races (Home-Straight is very close to the racecourse).
Perfect weekend in a perfect location in a perfect little house. Thank you and see you again later in the summer.
