Well appointed (would have liked a DVD player though, but it's a minor point) and in a great location to get to various local attractions. Just down the road (5 min drive) is a lovely park on the Riverside which was great for our 4 year old. Stratford upon Avon is very near by car and as everyone knows (I'm sure?) is a lovely place to visit and indulge in history and relax looking around the shops or walking on the Riverside. There are boat cruises and a big wheel (great view from up there!) to also enjoy. We visited "All things wild" which is wildlife park. It's a 10 minute car journey straight from the cottage. This is a brilliant place for my 4 year old boy who had a lovely 3 hours there. It is ideal for families with children. There are various wild animals (Zebra, Emu, Coyote, Hawks, Owls, Parrots, Tortoise, Snakes, Tarantula, Capybara, Camels, Armadillo, Fish, Pigs, Goats, Deer, Degu, Meerkat.... The list goes on!) which are brilliant to see. There is also a fun & informative dinosaur walk through area with giat sculptures and a very nice outdoor play area for kids to play. The gift shop is well stocked too, with a variety of items ranging in price for all budgets. It's certainly worth a visit. Overall, a great cottage in a great location. I would recommend it.

“Given the time of year of the booking - it would have been good to see a reduction in cost.”

The holiday was originally booked during the peak summer period but was then moved to a less busy period.

“Perfection”

This was our second stay here and we will be definitely returning. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and very well equipped. It is/was perfect for visiting the towns around Stratford-upon-Avon.

“Signs to the property would help, we drove past a couple of times so we had to ring to find it.”

The entrance road is in need of some repair there are quite a few potholes. On a simple note, the tv needed a new cable as we couldn't get it to work unless we wiggled the cable, I did ring the owner when we were out and tell her, but it was still the same when we returned. We like to get the news and weather in the mornings before we head out.

“The cottage was nice and we enjoyed our stay.”

It had everything we needed to make our time comfortable. The only negative was the overall cleanliness and I understand we were in a barn conversion in the countryside, however, on arrival we found around lots of cobwebs that had clearly been there for sometime. We were forced to use the Hoover upon arrival to clear the cobwebs and many many spiders, as best we could. Once we had done this it did not affect our time in the cottage but it was a shame had to do this.

“We had a lovely holiday and we know we were in the countryside but the cottage was quite dusty.”

There were a lot of cobwebs round the windows and up on the vaulted ceiling.

“This is a wonderful comfortable cottage in a great picturesque area”

“The Combine Shed was a good sized accommodation with adequate facilities.”

It was clean and well maintained. The garden however was full of thistle plants and not suitable for small children to play in. It would have also been useful to have had an instruction pack to explain how things work (eg heating, recycling etc)

“The cottage is well situated in order to visit the attractions within the Shakespeare Country area.”

Bidford in Avon is within walking distance and provides plenty of amenities. Evesham is a short drive away as is the amazing Stratford Upon Avon. The cottage itself is very modern and very well equipped and provides a very comfortable environment in which to relax after a busy day out. Sadly our beloved dog, Preston passed away before we arrived on holiday. Similar to previous comments we would have had concerns about the garden area which is not secure . We wouldn’t have been able to allow the dog out as it could easily wander off across open fields. The issue can be easily rectified and would out me off booking the cottage .

“The enclosed garden was not enclosed, I had to keep my dog on a lead so he didn’t run into the field and chase rabbits and not come back.”

I could not let the dog out to do his business with out me having him on a lead. Very disappointed and think it should not have been advertised as enclosed. The underfloor heating did not work, I had a starter pack for the wood burner which only lasted 4 days, they gave me 2 small rads which was not much good at all.

“The place was lovely and we really enjoyed our week.”

However, the baking tray in the oven was dirty, so needed washing. The outside light at the back was not working. One bedside lamp in the main bedroom was not working. I tried a new bulb but it did not work. The water was called so we had to call the owner to get someone in. I had to hoover the kitchen floor as it was very dusty and had a few bits on it. These are all things that can be rectified very easily.

“The Combine Shed is a lovely, cosy, nicely decorated and relaxing property which is well located for visiting Stratford and Warwick.”

There are excellent walks form the property and a good bus service from Bidford on Avon, so we had little need for our car. The property is on a working arable farm, and so views from the cottage are not as attractive as we might have liked due to farm machinery and supplies. However, it was lovely to see a Buzzard and a Kestrel in the field at the back of the cottage. The owner is very helpful and responsive.

Mr Tarrant February 2019

“The property was in a lovely quite place ,surrounded by farmland.”

Bidford on avon town is only a few minutes walk away if you want to go to shops or get a take away.. the owners of the property are very friendly.it is a great base to see the local area

- Mr Tarrant, February 2019
Mr Pennell February 2019

“A very spacious cottage with a lovely view across open fields.”

Not the easiest driveway to spot by car, especially at night. It would have been helpful to have some information about how the equipment in the property worked, and also some local information and leaflets. The owner was friendly and could be easily contacted by phone.
