"Wonderful cottage which is very clean, comfortable, warm, cosy and contains all the items needed for an amazing vacation."
The shower is very powerful and soothing, the Wi-Fi single is extremely strong, the bed is super comfortable and there is a private parking space directly outside the front door where there is also an outside table and four chairs.
The cottage is located in beautiful rolling countryside with amazing views all around. A great location for taking country walks and for visiting the local pubs which are all very accommodating, ones of special note are; Tom O The Wood, The Fleurs De Lys, The Boot, The Punch Bowl and The Navigation.
The cottage location is great for venturing out to explore Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, and many other interesting places.
I nearly forgot to mention the wonderful indoor pool which is just 10 meters from the cottage front door and because there are no other guests to share the pool with you get to have it all to yourself.
All the above and many other things make Finwood Cottage a superb place to a have peaceful, calming vacation. It was great to wake up naturally in the morning and to only hear the wonderful sound of the lambs in the next door field and bird song.
I will certainly be coming back in the future and can certainly highly recommend Finwood Cottage to anyone.

"A lovely, quiet cottage."
Warm and comfortable and perfect to unwind after a day exploring. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and got a minor issue fixed immediately. The cottage is extremely well equipped and the bed is very comfortable. The only very minor complaint would be that the picture of the interior didn't quite match reality and the en suite, only toilet, isn't very private. That said, these minor issues wouldn't stop us staying again or recommending to others.

"We have for the last 3 years had week before the Christmas week away in a cottage near to our sons in Nuneaton and Rugby, the Finwood Cottage went beyond our expectations."
The owners had decorated the cottage with a Christmas Tree and Christmas Decorations and there was a tub of Cadbury Roses left for us. The owners were a lovely couple and helpful. Loved the location in middle of Warwickshire. We'll definitely be booking for next year very soon. Looking forward to seeing you both again.

"This has everything you would need for a lovely pleasant holiday."
It is secure & quiet with lots of nature & wildlife around. They have an indoor pool which is great after a long day of sightseeing. The only downside, if there is one, is the ensuite, it is a perfect size but I'm a night owl & my husband is an early bird so we kept waking each other up when we had to answer a call of nature.

"Beautiful and homely little cottage style place, surrounded by big trees, fields and greenery."
Gorgeous old flagstone floor in the living room. Kitchen is well equipped - no coffee machine but the owners have provided a French press for ground coffee. Comfy bed and sofa. Nice 5k circular walk from the property (part along the canal). Only 20 mins by car to Solihull for shopping and amazing restaurants but there is a pub that does food within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again, owners are very helpful and the indoor pool is a real bonus.

"If this property had been the first one we had booked with Sykes we are unlikely to have tried any others."
The property and surroundings bear little resemblance to the photo's shown and no way deserves a 4.7 excellent rating. The outside table and chairs and swing seat were dirty and clearly not intended to be used. I appreciate it is the countryside but the whole place needed a good tidy. The inside was rammed with old books and childrens games which were obviously being stored from elsewhere. Several of the appliances did not work properly, such as the shower door which we could not open. On a positive note the property was ideally situated for exploring many National Trust and other properties in the area.

"A lovely cosy cottage in a good location."
Nice and quiet but near to a couple of nice pubs if you want to eat out. Plenty of national trust properties nearby and warwick castle is definitely worth a visit. Beware if you do visit the dungeon it is very dark and uneven. We did go into coventry but wouldn't recommend the park and ride as very strange and only a bus every 30 minutes. Unlike any other we've used. We would return to this cottage so that is a recommendation in itself.

Good base for visiting lots of areas and 2 NT properties very close, plenty of local pubs and pretty canals. Friendly hosts live on site. Excellent value and highly recommended.
Suggestions: Photos could do with updating to reflect new furniture inside and out. And I agree with another comment - could do with an armchair in addition to sofa. Overall we had a lovely holiday. Thankyou.

Stratford upon avon, Hatton locks and Kenilworth Castle all within a short drive. Co-op, fish and chip shop within about 3 miles and a local shop at Lapworth up the road plus good pubs and canal walks what more could you want.
