Holly Cottage

57 Customer Reviews

• "Holly Cottage is very comfortable, pleasingly decorated and perfectly situated in the peaceful village of Clifford Chambers just a few minutes away from Stratford Upon Avon."

  The owners who live next door have done a great job in converting this building into a most comfortable two bedroom cottage. Besides the Royal Shakespeare Company close at hand there are National Trust houses and gardens, wonderful villages and countryside, so lots to see and do. Highly recommend.

• "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!

• "We loved Holly Cottage and the peaceful location."

  The cottage had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay and had country walks at the end of the road, close proximity to Stratford upon Avon and to many local places to visit including National Trust properties. Thank you, it was a lovely break.

  We had a lovely time in a beautiful cottage, in a great location - so much to do!! The best bit for us was the proximity to Stratford and the theatre. We would definitely like to return.

• "Excellent property, perfect for our family of four."

  The property is comfortable and cosy. Despite the cold weather outside we were very warm inside. Location is great for visiting small towns around the Cotswolds and Stratford is literally 6 minutes away. Extremely well located. Len is a great host and was very welcoming. There are some great idea for walks in the guide book and overall I’d say this was a brilliant place to stay.

  What a lovely family. Hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

  A very comfortable and well equipped property and it was immaculate through. Pub nearby and a regular bus service into the town with a Waitrose a short distance away. I can highly recommend Holly Cottage and will definitely stay here again. A friendly owner lives next door and checked in on us to see that everything was ok.

  A lovely cottage, Very modern and very comfortable with all mod cons. Lots of helpful information re local walks and the many places to visit. An excellent bus service in and out of Stratford. Very highly recommended.

• "Beautiful cottage, we met Len on arrival as we were early and he called next day to check everything was ok or if we needed anything, he called it a Tardis and indeed it is very spacey inside."

  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.

  Many thanks Susan for your kind words. We hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

• "This was a lovely cottage tucked away in a small village 2 miles outside Stratford."

  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.

  Thank you Colin for your positive comments. It would be great to see you and your lovely family again in the future. Property Owner
