If you’re looking for a rural escape within walking distance of sights, pubs, cafés and shops, this is the spot for you. Enjoy the tranquillity of a bungalow in a private garden surrounded by woodland and fields where you can still walk into the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon. And it’s a glorious walk too – around twenty minutes along the traffic-free riverside path. You’re right next to Stratford Race Course if you fancy a flurry on the horses and it’s a twenty-minute walk to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. There’s also a shop and a couple of local pubs five minutes away. After a day exploring the home of The Bard, return to the crackle of a wood-burning stove in the living room. A collection of books and board games make for cosy nights in and the country-style kitchen has all the equipment you need for self-catering. Heading out to the garden you know this place is child-friendly with a big lawn to run around and a swing set. If you’re lucky you might spot deer grazing in the field beyond.

About Stratford-upon Avon

Travel north of the Cotswolds and you’ll start to find yourself in the Midlands. This network of historic towns and industrial cities often gets overlooked in favour of the easier-to-define North and South, but there’s plenty going on if you know where to look.
