  • "This was a comfortable, warm and well equipped cottage with historic charm in abundance."

    We benefited from being easily able to walk to the theatre, restaurants and attractions. There was a lay-by outside (1 hour stay) it was easy to unload luggage into the house. It was easy to part a couple of streets away, where the car remained safely for the duration of our trip. Thank you for sharing this lovely property with us!

  • "We were delighted with the stay."

    It met our expectations relative to the details provided online. The property itself is really nice and well situated. We enjoyed the space outside in the evening. Parking was easy enough to find in the surrounding approved streets. Make sure to send on your reg details prior to the visit to be added to the Parking Permit.

  • "A beautiful cottage and in a quiet position away from noise."

    The grandchildren loved their bedroom and even though it was the hottest time of the year, it surprisingly was really comfortable. The walls are so thick, that the bedrooms stayed cool at night. The living room was really cosy. But a microwave in the kitchen would have been really handy. We shall definitely stay again. Thank you once again for letting us share your beautiful home.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 4 Masons Court."

    We found the property peaceful, cosy and perfectly situated to stroll into the town to access the many bars and restaurants. The cottage was fitted out to a very high standard and everything we needed was provided. We especially enjoyed sitting outside in the morning for breakfast. A perfect oasis in the middle of Stratford-upon-Avon.

  • "The property has no microwave which for us was a negative point."

    The freezer compartment in the fridge was totally frosted over; to the extent that the door wouldn’t close and the remains of a Vienetta was frozen in place. It had clearly been like that for some time. After spending a fruitless half hour searching for the parking permit I contacted the owner to be told it was now all online and he would add my registration number. Would have been nice to arrange this beforehand. No information or welcome pack. Having said all that, the property was clean, comfortable, well heated. Ideally situated in the town and all in all charming.

  • "A lovely, quaint cottage in such a beautiful town!"

    Our first visit to Stratford and we chose to stay for Christmas. The cottage had everything my family of 4 needed with comfortable beds, a lovely hot shower and a cosy open fire. The only slight complaint I’d have is it was a little cold at first and the heating took almost a day to get to the temperature I wanted. I feel the cold so this could just be a personal thing! But we would definitely return for another stay at Masons Court.

    Location good, beds and chairs comfortable, kitchen well equipped -but I would not book again due to poor maintenance:- Overhead light in main bedroom not working Lamp on sitting room window not working Taps in bathroom stuck No instructions for house (lots of people have commented on this in the guest book) Paint work scruffy / dirty - house needs a deep clean /repainting Cheap plastic headboard in main bedroom

    Overhead light in bedroom - there was an issue with the switch. We were not aware of this. After this was communicated to us after the guests has departed this was fixed straight away. If the guests had contacted us about this we could have sorted on the same day. Lamp on sitting room window. There was no issue with this light. The light was simply just turned off on the switch on the light. Tap in bathroom has now been fixed No instructions - this is something we will work on putting together for the cottage Paintwork scruffy - this is a valid point since this review we have been round to repaint certain areas Cheap plastic headboard in main bedroom - not had any other negative feedback about this before.

  • "We had a great time staying at 4 Mason's Court."

    It sits on a relatively quiet road, considering it is so close to the centre of town, and is in walking distance of all the attractions. There were three of us and consequently #4 was very comfortable. However, in line with the points made in other reviews, it would be very "cosy" if there were four of you. You would probably have to move some furniture around downstairs. Also, the combination of a large double bed frame & small room means that the person sleeping furthest from the door has no bedside table (there isn't room) & has to get in & out of bed by crawling up from the end. The twin room is fine. The only other point to make is that the inclusion of an information pack, containing instruction manuals, etc, would take the guesswork out of operating things like the washing mashine, dishwasher, oven & even the coffee machine. It's obviously not rocket science but who wants to waste time on holiday with trial & error? Finally, I would like to end by stating that these couple of slightly negative points did not impact our enjoyment at all. Mason's Court is a fabulous place & I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again should I find myself in Stratford upon Avon.

  • "This property displayed a sign to say they had won Sykes "Little Gems" award for going "above and beyond" to make their property inviting back in 2018."

    Felt like they are resting on their laurels as there were things that could be easily made better here. A missing hook on the back of the door, no cover for the egg seat in the garden so it was soaking and couldn't be used, ten hangers between four people, the ice compartment in the fridge (mentioned in other reviews as needing defrosted) was still useless until we did it ourselves) and a dripping tap in the bathroom. These could all have been so easily fixed but just hadn't been. The cottage is beautiful and historic and if you want to say you've stayed in the oldest residential building in Stratford, here's the place - or the other similar cottages which share the building - units 1 or 3 (2 is privately owned). It is very small for four guests though, and anyone over six foot will need to be careful not to bump their heads. The main bedroom is very small, watch you don't constantly bump your shin on the corner of the bed as you open the door, though the bed is most comfortable. The second bedroom is stylish and far more roomy but there is no wardrobe, only two large drawers to share between two. It could do with more shelves and hooks to allow you to spread out your belongings - we were fortunate in that our party were only three so we could live out of one of the suitcases stationed on the spare bed and I used the stairs to set out our shoes. The bathroom is very nice with a lovely modern bath and shower over it, though the plumbing needs some attention - and the toilet flush is on upside down - took us a day to work that out though once you see the problem, it works fine. In the kitchen, the layout is very attractive but there was no microwave and the stools for sitting round the breakfast bar were so very very uncomfortable we couldn't eat there. In good weather, you can instead eat at the large garden table which we did and enjoyed, this is benefitted by some pretty lighting in the evening. There was Netflix on a large television, and music, books, or dvds for your use. A parking permit allowed us to park in any of the surrounding streets free for the week - parking wardens are everywhere in Stratford! All in all, I personally wouldn't go back as I feel there are far better Sykes lets in the town such as 1 Masons Court ,which is considerably better in our option. It doesn't take much to defrost the freezer when guests are pointing this out, make the effort! Also only one house key is a bit inconvenient. Historically a win; comfort-wise could certainly be better.

  • "The freezer compartment in the fridge needed defrosting!"

    The freezer compartment was completely full of ice, we arrived on a hot day and it would have been nice to have been able to have some fresh ice in the tray ready and waiting. There were crumbs under the bar stools in the kitchen and it was also clear no one had vacuumed behind the sofa or the chest of drawers in the twin bedroom! The carpets could have done with a steam clean. Walking around bare feet left feet very dirty. Should have realised as you can see the dirt stains in the carpets. It would have been nice to have had a patio umbrella or some kind of shade whilst sitting at the patio table, not everyone wants the hot sun beating down on them when they are sat outside.

    Highchair and travel cot were good once we could find them, might be handy to have them out for those who have requested it in the future. As others have said, a microwave wouldn’t go a miss but managed without. Only niggles were the shower head coming away from the wall which is quite dangerous and the property would benefit from a deep clean, it was quite dusty in easy to reach places and marks on the walls etc other than that was a good stay.

Could do with a few blankets for the living room and a couple of extra pillows upstairs. Also an automatic light in the court would be very useful, as the uneven cobbles can be a bit difficult to navigate in the dark!

    We took our own logs this year but found there were some available at the cottage. Pity there isn't a door curtain for the stable door at this time of year to help with heat loss but noted the addition of a door sausage since last year. One minor issue is the shower riser pipe is insecure and the top rain shower popped out of the bracket a couple of times which caused a slight panic. Overall though very nice and will return.

Would have benefitted from a few more instructions in property ie which bin for recycling/general waste, what days these should go out for collection, how to work heating, where to buy firewood but we managed to work all this out ourselves as we we were there a week.

We swept the path clear of the mulberries to avoid carrying them in to the cottage. I used the dustpan and brush and didn’t find the broom until the last day.. A tray would have been useful, I used the roasting tin to carry out cups to the outside. Also, a milk jug.

Everything was within walking distance, plenty of restaurants and bars. We especially enjoyed Yabard craft ale bar on the same street.

    As others have said, it is quiet at night despite being in the town. We parked the car safely in a street nearby, using the pass provided (there's no longer an allocated space behind the house as earlier reviews indicate). For unloading it's easy to park for up to an hour outside the police station next door. A couple of suggestions: there's space in the kitchen for a microwave so why not provide a small one? And simple instructions about the heating & timings (perhaps laminated for Covid safety) would have been useful. The owner was very helpful when we texted him about the cottage not being warm enough & he changed the temperature & timings remotely to suit us. We didn't realise until the end that we could use the free-standing thermostat to change the temperature ourselves as we're unused to that type of thermostat and assumed all changes had to be done by the owner!! But we had a wonderful short break.

    We visited for the Christmas Market, the use of the parking permit makes things easier but the locations on where it could be used were very busy and had to try a few before getting sorted but I put that down to the time of year. There were no logs provided for the open fire even though the property states fuel included, only a few pieces of kindling had been left and being December there was some draft from the main door, knowing this now I would take my own supplies next time but its worth noting for future stayers. A vistors book with instructions would be beneficial, especially on how to increase the heating, we had to scramble around for manuals on the cooker, heating etc so it would be great to have all this in one location. All in all a fab property!!

A couple of niggles: it's an old building and the walls are thick and windows small so it does not get hot and gets cold quickly even on hot days. The central heating is controlled by the owner and he did up the heating on a few evenings; I found the the high stools at the breakfast bar quite awkward for eating; no hanging space or hooks in the twin bedroom and no drawers in the double, also no towel rails.

    Excellent surprises were the fantastic monsoon shower, or you can have a traditional shower! Lovely pod coffee machine with loads of pods, and what’s more I could understand how to operate it! Fab location of course, you can walk into town in two minutes. We walked to the theatre and back.- no need to faff about with parking. In fact, we didn’t use the car for the whole holiday. Everything in Stratford was accessible by walking. Another nice surprise was that the cottage is actually set back away from the road, so it was much quieter and more secluded than anticipated. You walk beyond an old iron gate through a cute little walkway to reach it-it’s enchanting. We just wanted to stay forever. To sleep under 15th century beams, yet have all mod cons too, including a washer/ dryer and a dishwasher. The stairs are characterful but easy to negotiate- they’ve been made more accessible. There is a high chair too for those who might need one. And it all looks congruous. Highly recommended! We are definitely rebooking!

This 15th century Grade II* listed retreat is oozing with character and is situated within the historical town of Stratford-upon-Avon.

The oldest house in Stratford-upon-Avon, this getaway is perfect for families or couples to visit all year round.

Wander through the charming entrance past the pretty plants which form part of the lovely walkway.

Inside, a light and airy kitchen is nicely furnished and makes a pleasant place to prepare your favourite meals, before resting at the breakfast bar.

Come evening time, head into the sitting area where you can relax on the comfortable sofa and watch TV in the peace and quiet.

Ceiling beams are draped over this room, creating an effective atmosphere throughout.

Take the stairway up to the first floor, where you will be welcomed by both a twin and double bedroom, laced with a traditional twist, and equally promising a good nights sleep.

A well designed bathroom is elevated by patterned flooring, and a matching, signature wall strip ties the room together well.

When the sun is shining, why not relax on the patio outside, or stroll into the shared garden at your own leisure?

Stratford-upon-Avon is on your doorstep, with fascinating buildings and historic features.

Within easy reach of Warwick and the Cotswold villages of Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh.
