  • "Holly Cottage is a lovely place to stay."

    Nice and cosy even though we went on the coldest week of the year. The beds were comfy. The only thing I think was missing was a wooden spoon. Clifford Chambers is a lovely village with a pub with good food. Lots of walks from the door although we used it as a base for walking the Cotswold/Heart of England way.

  • "An absolute joy - a wonderful break."

    We had lots of rest and relaxation and a couple of trips into Stratford for shopping, browsing and lunching! We also enjoyed a trip to the RSC (The Other One)….welcoming staff, lovely meal at Susie’s Cafe. The play was well acted and a reminder of The New Real about corruption in politics (we know that!! Shocking). We also visited Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and Charlcote - both wonderful. Thank you to the hosts who were wonderful. We’ll definitely be back.

    As soon as we arrived, we felt relaxed in such a beautiful cottage in a lovely village location ( and only a short drive or bus journey to Stratford upon Avon). Len our host was very friendly and helpful. We were treated to some fresh eggs for breakfast during our stay. We will definitely return to Holly Cottage and I would recommend it to friends and family unreservedly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  • "We had a fabulous week at Holly Cottage!"

    Beautiful, quiet street with friendly neighbours. Lovely light, airy house with excellent blinds & curtains for a good night’s sleep. Very comfortable beds and fans provided in the rooms which was extremely welcome as it was a hot day when we checked in. Very well equipped, modern kitchen, including coffee machine. Very useful having three bathrooms living with three boys!! Nice hot, powerful shower! The living room was spacious enough for four of us to eat and watch a movie together with two decent sized sofas. And it was a real bonus for us having the electric car charging facility, as my husband came to join us for a couple of days and was able to easily charge his car to return home. Plenty of storage for clothes, belongings, food etc. Park just round the corner where my teens went to play football before & after dinner. Very close to Stratford-upon-Avon and a really good base to get around the area generally. I would highly recommend Holly Cottage to anyone wishing to stay in the area, and would definitely stay here again!

    We had a brilliant week and highly recommend this area. 8 minutes by bus to the centre of Stratford. The New Inn pub is 4 minutes from the cottage and has a varied menu.

    Immaculately clean and extremely well presented. Clearly a lot of care and attention to detail has gone into it. The beds are very comfortable and the seating area is very homely and cosy in the evenings. Beautiful bathrooms with super luxurious towels provided. Lots of considerate little touches like fresh milk waiting in the fridge and shampoo and body wash with the towels and the delicious fresh eggs that were brought round by the owner! I really can't speak highly enough of this cottage. By far the nicest holiday home we've ever stayed in. A truly lovely week that we will remember fondly. Many thanks. Stacy.

  • "We had a wonderful week at Holly Cottage with our 2 young boys (age 6 and 9)."

    The cottage itself is beautiful (loved the decor throughout!) and has such a warm, homely vibe. We enjoyed lots of cosy evenings watching movies after busy days out. We also enjoyed using the kitchen facilities to make some meals in aswell as enjoying meals out in the local pub and in Stratford itself. The owners have prepared a very informative guest book which provides a plethora of suggestions and on this basis we even ordered a local pizza delivery. There are so many places to visit near to the cottage! We spent days in Stratford, National Trust Properties, Warwick Castle, the Cotswolds and more. The village itself is so peaceful and I am already missing waking up to the sounds of the birds chirping as the only noise to be heard. My husband really liked the social club across the road where he was able to watch a couple of football matches. We went as a family one night and we were welcomed warmly … even bought some local eggs from behind the bar! Thank you for a wonderful stay (and for the Easter card, Easter eggs and biscuits) - we will 100% be returning!

    Very well kept and clean throughout, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the welcome cookies, thank you! Helen at 6’ 3” especially appreciated the lovely big bath :-) Thanks to the very good visitor information book you have in the property with detailed information on walks locally, we were able to easily follow the paths and enjoyed early morning walks most days, playing Pooh sticks on the bridge, also fortunate enough to see a kingfisher and several herons as we walked by river banks, brought fresh honey and cake at the farm. The book also includes info on eating out and all the various appliances in the cottage which was great! Can highly recommend the New Inn just a few short steps away at the top of the road, good bus service into town and around so you can leave the car at home. If you decide on a rest day in the middle of your week as we did, mum is 94 we didn’t want to wear her out totally!, there is a great puzzle in the drawer to do with some challenging unusual shapes, we had fun completing it. We hope to visit again next year, we looked at rebooking to visit during the Christmas fair week in Stratford upon Avon this year but sadly that week was already booked up. The Butterfly farm in town is great to visit on a cold day, it’s lovely and warm as well as really interesting. Cadbury World was only a 45 minute drive away for a wet day, very enjoyable and especially as we got special mid week rates. Bourton on the Water is definitely worth a visit, with the model village and Birdland’s penguins.

    On arrival we were greeted with a spotlessly clean house, which was more spacious than what we thought it was going to be. There was a few nice touches for us on arrival such as milk in the fridge, biscuits in a jar and toiletries and fresh towels on each of the beds. The bathroom facilities again were spotless and it was very good having 3 toilets for use. The washing machine was very handy for us as a family however we felt a clothes airer would have been useful or even an outside line to be able to hang stuff on as not everything is suitable for the dryer which was incorporated in the washing machine. We visited the local Inn for the Sunday lunch carvery which was a hit with the family. We were also able to go to a number of Cotswold villages and towns, do the Stratford boat cruise and city sightseeing tour, visit Warwick Castle, Cadbury World and Drayton Manor and still have time for shopping, sightseeing and multiple coffee shops. Would highly recommend this as a good place to stay for anyone wanting to visit the Warwickshire / Gloucestershire area. Many thanks.

    .. a true home from home. It is ideally located to explore the delights of Stratford and the surround areas... there are local walks ( with great views ) from the doorstep. It is apparent that the owners have taken great care in presenting the cottage and welcoming guests... thank you Jessie and Len

  • "We had a lovely stay at Holly Cottage, really good base and in walking distance to explore Stratford-Upon-Avon with numerous pubs and restaurants."

    The cottage has everything you need for a modern and comfortable stay. We took advantage of the electrical car charging point which is a big plus. As golfers, we had a massive choice of really top notch courses at very reasonable prices. Also the New Inn (5 minutes walk away) had a great selection of pub fayre at a good price. The property itself is a lovely recent conversion with all the home comforts you would expect on a visit at a great price.

    Thank you so much for your taking time to review Holly Cottage. Perfect guests leaving the cottage in tip top condition. We would love to see you again. Property Owner

  • "Extremely good location for walks, the Cotswolds & Stratford-upon-Avon."

    Virtually everything needed had been thought of within the cottage, just one small suggestion - a television, or radio, would be nice for the main bedroom. Would use again when visiting the area.

    Thank you for your response and positive comments. We considered providing a television in the main bedroom but decided against it because we thought it would spoil the ambience of the room. However when you return you will find that a radio has been provided. Property Owner

The property

Idyllically positioned amongst the rolling countryside of South Warwickshire, on the outskirts of the medieval town of Stratfordupon-Avon, rests this contemporary two-bedroom holiday home, Holly Cottage.

Park up on the gravelled driveway, settle in and then enjoy a seat in the front garden, soaking up the last of the sunshine with your favourite tipple, don’t be worried about charging your electric car, plug into the EV fast charge point provided, and relax.

Boasting a spacious yet homely interior whilst enjoying close proximity to a host of outdoor excursions, including the Cotswold Way escarpment for fantastic walking, Holly Cottage is an excellent base for a group of four seeking a rural retreat with all conveniences of Stratford upon Avon.

Stepping inside, be charmed by the effortless blend of contemporary and traditional decor, with exposed wooden beams and a wood effect electric stove offering a snug space to unwind in the sitting room, whilst a well-designed royal blue kitchen/diner is sure to be the heart of the home.

Utilise the fantastic range of facilities provided to whip up a hearty meal to be enjoyed at the dining table, or throw open the bi-fold doors and indulge in a spot of alfresco dining in the peaceful setting of your private patio garden.

Flick on the Smart TV with Netflix and enjoy a family-favourite, snuggled up with your loved ones on the sofa, or if you'd prefer some solace, climb the stairs to the first floor and indulge in a blissful soak amongst the bubbles in the bathroom.

Catch your rest ahead of a new day in one of two well-presented bedrooms, with the choice between a king with an en-suite shower room or a twin adjacent to the large family bathroom.

Holly Cottage nestles in the heart of the Conservation Area in the beautiful, friendly village of Clifford Chambers.

Many circular walks can be taken from the village including the renowned “Three Villages Walk” along the beautiful Stour Valley. For a wider variety of choice, venture into the heart of Stratfordupon-Avon where you'll find a fabulous collection of eateries to choose from, including pubs, restaurants and takeaways, sure to serve something to suit everyone. A trip to Stratford wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to catch a live performance, whilst The Shakespeare Centre and Shakespeare's Birthplace are the perfect spot for those looking to discover more of the famous playwright.

Take a boat trip on the river Avon, a guided town walk or explore the local area and Shakespeare properties on an open topped bus.

Within an hours drive discover numerous National Trust properties and landscapes including the world famous Hidcote Manor Gardens only seven miles distant.

Iconic honey coloured villages and North Cotswold market towns such as Broadway, Stow on the Wold and Burford are on your doorstep.

Chipping Campden marking the start of the Cotswold Way is less than ten miles away. There's plenty more to see and do in the nearby town of Warwick including taking a step back in time with a tour of Warwick Castle, with a fascinating history dating back to 1068. For a different experience perhaps you could try your luck on the horses at Stratford or Warwick racecourses.

Alternatively arrange a holiday to coincide with the famous Cheltenham Festival featuring the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

However, you plan to spend your time, an unforgettable holiday awaits at Holly Cottage.
