• "A lovely home from home."

  Clean and comfortable. Great location to explore the Cotswolds - Many National Trust properties within 30 mins. Shipston on Stoke is a pretty old-fashioned English town with lots of coffee shops and restaurants and takeaways. Couldn't ask for more. A fab place for a holiday or weekend away.

  Thank you for your lovely comments, pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely short break in this beautiful home, very well equipped, warm, so clean and comfortable."

  The town has many amenities all within a short walking distance. It is well situated for visiting the Cotswolds and Warwickshire with its many attractions . It is easily one of the best properties we have stayed in and intend to return for a longer stay.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback. We hope to see you again! Property Owner

• "This is the best equipped cottage we’ve ever stayed in."

  From a blender to a pastry brush, there’s everything you could possibly think of in the kitchen. The photos do not do this stay justice at all. The rooms are massive, the furniture and doors are too making it look regular sized! We cannot fault a single thing. Perfectly situated for the village (definitely head to Mrs Browns for a cream tea!) and about 20 minute drive from every key location in the surrounding area.

  Thanks for your lovely review! Definitely agree re Mrs Browns! Pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "The holiday home is in a lovely town with lots of eateries on the doorstep."

  However, we found the traffic noise quite intrusive on an evening. Areas of improvement for the holiday home would be the addition of a mirror in the 2nd bedroom, currently there is nowhere to dry hair, apply makeup etc. The shower cubicle in master bedroom is in need of a deep steam clean. The grout and silicone sealant are black with mould. My husband slept in the twin room and complained that the mattress was very thin and uncomfortable, more suitable for a child than an adult.

  Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. I am sorry you found the property noisey, usually people comment on how quiet it is considering the location in the centre of town! I will look at adding a mirror to the 2nd bedroom, however there is a full length mirror on the landing and also there are 3 bathrooms, all with mirrors for applying make-up - I prefer people to use the bathrooms for this purpose to prevent makeup on bed linen etc. The grout in the bathroom is discoloured however it is not mouldy or dirty. You are the first people to complain about the mattresses - others, and my own family have found the beds very comfortable - we have set the house up aimed at a family with a Queen and twin beds however all beds have good quality mattresses quite suitable for adults.

• "Comfortable, spacious, well equipped, and clean."

  Excellent location in the centre of town where there are numerous good restaurants, pubs and shops. We found a couple of things which needed attention so left a note for the housekeeping staff but these did not affect our enjoyment of the property too much. Would recommend, and would book again if we wanted to explore the Cotswolds further. A very pleasant stay.

  Thank you for your lovely review and feedback. Housekeeping is looking into the items you raised. Property Owner

• "Very clear joining instructions and details of appliances made it easy for us to settle down quickly in this warm and spacious property."

  It was clean and well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very conveniently situated at the centre of town with shops and eating places, yet was peacefully insulated against traffic noise. A lovely base from which to explore beautiful countryside and historic sites; strongly recommended.

  Thanks for your kind review, pleased you had an enjoyable stay. Property Owner

  A lovely big two bedroom property with the added bonus of two bathrooms and a downstairs toilet, the property was very well located in the middle of a nice small town with all facilities close to hand, It was spotlessly clean and had a parking spot right outside, communication with the owner and agent was great Would definitely return

  Thank you, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Would love to have you back! Property Owner

• "Great location."

  The cottage is bigger than it looks in the photos and well-equipped. Excellent base for getting to places of interest. Shipston itself is good for shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, and everyone was really friendly.

• "We thoroughly enjoy our stay."

  The property was surprisingly quiet considering its location in the town, and nice to have its own car parking space. Shipston is an interesting small town with plenty of individual shops, and is in a very central position for visiting the Cotswolds, South Warwickshire, Gardens/ Country Houses etc. A comfortable and high standard property. Hope to visit again. Alan & Gill.

  The location of the property was also perfect with lots of activities available, all within a very reasonable driving distance. The town centre was a short walk away, local shops were great, and people friendly. Would 100% recommend.

  The cottage was clean, quiet, beautifully appointed and in an excellent location. The village is large enough to have good food,coffee ,interesting boutiques but not too big that it loses its character and is busy.
