"Would benefit from outside light when returning at night as it’s quite dark around the step area."
-
"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.

"It is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location."
I was staying with my five year old daughter and the hosts set out some garden toys for her which I thought was a lovely touch. The pool was brilliant. Definitely going back.

"Lovely quiet location, everything you need"
-
"We had a wonderful and comfortable stay."
The cottage was one of the nicest and warmest we have stayed in and the hosts were friendly and helpful when needed. Having a washing machine and dryer was an added bonus which we really appreciated as we are from Australia and are travelling around the UK for 13 weeks.

"Wonderful, we had everything we needed and some, the owners were lovely, nothing seemed like a problem to them (even jump starting a car)."
We would highly recommend, happy memories.
-
"Lovely cottage, friendly owners nothing too much trouble."
Well equipped kitchen. Great relaxing location, lots of places to visit round about.
-
"Finwood Cottage was a great find."
Rob and Marion were excellent hosts. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Comfortable bed for a good night's sleep. Ideal location for visiting Stratford, and lots of National Trust places within easy reach. Would recommend this to anybody.
-
"The cottage was perfect for me and my son it was clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay."
The pool was amazing for my boy he was scared of swimming before we came here and it has given him so much confidence in our short stay, so thank you. Can’t recommend this place enough and perfect location to explore Warwick.

"Lovely location with great facilities with friendly owner."
Nice welcoming touches. The property is gated with an indoor swimming pool ideal relaxing at the end to the day. Perfect location for visits to Warwick or Birmingham. Would highly recommend a stay.

"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.

"Excellent place."
We really enjoyed our stay there.
-
"We had a lovely stay and was in such a good location."
Everything you needed in the cosy cottage for a relaxing stay.
-
"Exellent !"
-
"We would like to thank Rob and Marion for all the care, and attention to detail, they put into Finwood Cottage to make it as comfortable as it is."
We had our second warm, cosy experience this year and would thoroughly recommend it to all who would enjoy the tranquility of the beautiful rural setting. Eric & Charmian

"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.
-
"A well appointed little cottage."
Conveniently situated to explore Warwickshire.
-
"A lovely property in a peaceful location but ideally situated to many interesting places to visit."
The pool was a real treat and the owners extremely welcoming. Would absolutely recommend to friends & family and hope to stay again in the future.
-
"Lovely barn conversion property with simple tasteful decor."
Open plan living area, well equipped and clean. Use of pool was great, plus spacious grass/wooded area with chickens, assorted seating and views of fields, in addition to table and chairs to front of property. 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. .
-
"Very comfortable and made welcome by our hosts."
Will definitely go back again.
-
"Lovely quiet place to dissappear to."
Although still near Warwick and areas to visit. Would recommend to couples looking for a base to explore Warwickshire and surrounding areas. Only one recommendation would be for either a second arm chair or a foot stool in lounge. Host very nice and the goodies for arrival were very much appreciated. Also the use of the swimming pool was great and lovely and warm. Would definitely return if in area again.
-

"A very comfortable and enjoyable week at Finwood Cottage 1."
Plenty of space for two people and well equipped. A great location for visiting Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Birmingham and all the lovely countryside in-between. Also not forgetting the lovely walks along the two nearby canals. A great swimming right next-door. The owners are very friendly and helpful, too. We'd happily stay at this cottage again.

"Finwood Cottage 1 was the most comfortable and pleasant holiday accommodation."
We had absolutely everything we needed and wanted in the cottage. It was very well placed for things we wanted to do in the area and the surrounding countryside is very attractive. The cottage was warm and peaceful and very attractive. Basic supplies were greatly appreciated. We enjoyed being able to easily visit Oxford, Coventry, Warwick and Compton Verney from our base. In addition, the Stratford/Avon and Grand Union Canals are minutes away. There are good pubs with meals nearby. In all a winning cottage and location.
-
"We had a great October holiday."
Main reason for selecting this property was proximity to Warwick Castle and the indoor swimming pool which was right next door to the cottage. Cottage was nice and cosy, really well equipped, great shower and friendly owners who looked in on us on arrival and live in main house if needed. Key fob gates so easy access. 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. Many thanks J and Alex
-
"We immediately felt at home when we walked in the cottage."
It had everything you needed, well equipped, spotlessly clean, and all easily accessible. The swimming pool was amazingly and although we didn’t have time to use it, there was a fully equipped gym. We would have loved to have stayed longer and would definitely look here first if staying in the area.
-
"Rob and Marion very welcoming."
Gave us fresh eggs from their own chickens. Cottage lovely with all the facilities you would need. Would definitely visit again.
-

"Our host had decorated the property ready for Christmas which was a lovely touch."
A little gift also was really thoughtful. The accommodation was clean and really comfortable. We were really busy and arriving back to a warm cozy place was super. Great peaceful location.
-
"Very convenient for visits to Warwick, Stratford, Leamington, Coventry,- National Trust and English Heritage properties , and the network of local canals including Hatton Locks."
-
"A well equipped cottage with owners who are there when you need them and are very friendly."
The cottage has the added bonus of an indoor swimming pool and some gym equipment in the building next to the cottage it if you want to use it. Very quiet area with plenty to do in the vicinity and a number of highly rated pubs (if you go by the comments in the visitors book). Well worth considering if you are looking for a quiet getaway with plenty to do nearby.
-
"Had a great holiday here I hired both cottages so we could go away as a adult family."
Both cottages are beautiful, comfortable, well equipped, and tastefully & thoughtfully decorated.
-

A very enjoyable few days, and great to wake to the sound of sheep in the nearby field :)

About the location
ROWINGTON
Warwick 5 miles; Royal Leamington Spa 5 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 10 miles; Kenilworth 11 miles;
The ancient village of Rowington lies in unspoilt Warwickshire countryside and offers many lovely walks including the Heart of England Way. The Grand Union Canal is close by as is the village country pub and restaurant which serves home-cooked food and real ales. The village boasts Rowington Manor, once owned by Catherine Parr and Shakespeare Hall, where it is said Shakepeare's family lived when he wrote 'As you like it'. There are two National Trust properties close to Rowington, Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House, with Wroxall Abbey, another fine house and the country seat of Sir Christopher Wren also near by. Close by, Lapworth Village is strongly associated with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, as the leader of the plotters, Robert Catesby, was born and lived here, and his tomb is in Lapworth Church. Henley-in-Arden boasts one of the most unspoilt high streets in the country, which contains over 150 buildings listed as being of Special or Historic interest. The town has its own Heritage Centre, itself dating back to the 12th century, with many restaurants, traditional pubs and individual shops, as well as a selection of sports facilities including golf courses, tennis courts and fishing. Visit Stratford-upon-Avon, which is steeped in history and culture and lies on the banks of the River Severn. Experience Olde England by visiting Shakespeare's birthplace and many other houses connected to his family, which are open all-year-round and boast 16th Century furnishings and landscaped grounds and gardens. Enjoy one of his many plays at the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The River Avon offers river cruises, rowing and motor boat rides and many lovely walks. Warwick with its imposing medieval castle, Royal Leamington Spa with its beautiful Victorian and Georgian architecture and many unspoilt Cotswold villages and towns all make a great family day out.
