Julies cottage was beautiful. She provided a warm welcome upon arrival and made us all feel very at ease. There were plenty of supplies within the cottage, including as many logs we would need, making our stay truly relaxing. Great location with Stratford-Upon-Avon town and Warwick a short drive away. The cottage itself was exceptionally clean, cosRead morey and everything inside of high quality. It had safe and secure parking too. Would highly recommend and definitely wish to return in the future. Hide

This is a wonderful cottage. Every room smells like a spa. There are lots of provisions left for you - coffee, milk, foil, oil, etc. and a few treats. Location wise its about 15 mins drive to Stratford upon Avon. We stayed in on our second day and enjoyed a long bath and the comforts of the cottage.
