  • "Valentines' Cottage is beautifully appointed."

    Every last detail of the decoration has been carefully designed making every room perfect for a luxurious, special visit to Stratford on Avon. It's very easy walking distance to Henley Street (Shakespeare Birthplace Trust) and to the centre of town and the theatre and yet a haven away from the bustle. Sarah's care for us during our stay was also outstanding, ensuring that arrangements for parking were in place. I cannot think of anywhere better to escape to. Thank you very much, Sarah.
