"Peace and quiet, beautifully warm as it was winter."
Very spacious.

"Our second stay this year, and everything just as good."
Lovely house, nicely furnished and well equipped. Beds so very comfy it was an effort to get up of a morning! Impeccable standard of cleanliness, cannot be faulted.Thank you for the welcome gift of wine and biscuits, as well as tea, coffee, milk etc that was provided. Highly recommended.
-
"A lovely property comfortable and warm and if I were to move just the sort of property I would choose it is beauty furnished if we return to the area we would definitely pick Oakdene."
Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful house.

"We could not fault the cleanliness and equipment at Oakdene."
The house has been given a great deal of thought to make a stay there most enjoyable. We were there for a fortnight , mid holiday the cleaner came to change all the linen and towels. She was delightful, cheery and friendly. The cottage is in easy reach of many interesting places. If you are a gardener do visit Fosse Way garden centre. It is amazing. For bric a brac lovers the barn on Long Marston Rd and on the way to Mickleton are a must. Should you run out of anything you need the Londis and Premier stores do their best to provide. We had a most enjoyable holiday and we’re lucky to have wonderful weather.

"Another excellent stay at Oakdene, this was our second stay."
Everything was great, the only minor criticism was the cleanliness was not quite as good as last year’s stay as regards the kitchen, but nothing major that would stop us from returning. The bottle of fiz was very welcome. Overall a lovely house in an excellent location for visiting Stratford and the local area. Thank you from the Ferrier Family

"We had a very comfortable stay at Oakdene."
The property is in a very pretty, peaceful location and offers well equipped and well maintained accommodation. It is not, however, on Meon Close as Sykes directions tell you. It is on the main road through the village. The access in and out of the property is right on a bend and it is difficult to see if traffic is coming in either direction. We had tickets for a couple of nights at the RSC and it was easy to get in and out of Stratford - about a 15 minute drive. We also visited a few NT properties in the area and some beautiful villages within a short drive from the property. All in all a lovely stay and lots to do in the area.

"Our second visit to this superb property."
All the facilities needed for a week away. Peaceful setting and especially ideal for sitting in the garden when the weather is as good as it was during our week.
-
"Oakdene is a fabulous property, located in a quiet village but so close to the main road to Stratford and south to Stown on the Wold, Chipping Campden, Broadway etc."
Inside it was perfect, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very clean, comfortable beds and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking if you didn’t want to eat out. Garden furniture was a bonus as we had fabulous weather. There was just two of us but would be fine for a family of four or two couples. Will definitely return - a perfect property.
-
"The property was very clean and smelt lovely and welcoming when we arrived,the house keeping was amazing."
-
"What a lovely place to stay."
Lots of space but cosy. Private and secluded but in a nice spot in the village. Everything you need is provided and two toilets really helps. Busy bustling towns or quiet little villages are all on the doorstep. You can stay in and relax or go out all day. The parking is first class. A very nice and relaxing holiday.
-
"Excellent location really accessible to Greenway that goes directly to Stratford Upon Avon."
House really clean and comfortable, and the welcome pack was most welcome. We have been using Sykes for many years and this property is the best so far, we will be definitely back. Thank you
-
"Lovely place."
Good location.
-
"Perfect location, perfect cottage!"
-
"Oakdene is a lovely property, well furnished and very comfortable."
It is the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed at; all the kitchen equipment you could possibly need (except for a salad bowl and spinner), and all the necessary under-sink items, including household cleaning sprays, washing machine tabs etc. provided. No need to bring anything at all. Just one suggestion: as the wall cupboards are quite high, a single step stool would be appreciated. Lots of places to visit within a 20-30 minute drive, and buses north to Stratford or south to the Cotswolds pass the door. Due to poor weather we didn’t have the chance to visit all the places we would have liked to see so we will definitely return to Oakdene as soon as we can. Very highly recommended.
-
"We returned as we promised at Oakdene and of course we were not disappointed for the choice we made."
A well-equipped, clean, welcoming house, everything you need for a holiday where you "charge your batteries"! A beautiful area, quiet and friendly people everywhere. We felt very well and we confidently recommend this cottage and the area.
-
"We loved our stay at the cottage, it was a real home from home, so comfortable and clean, cosy and warm."
Loved the Christmas decorations and goodies that were left, thank you! Would definitely recommend to friends and would also come and stay again some time in the future.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oakdene."
It had everything we required and we loved the underfloor heating that was set at the right temperature, making the house very cosy during a cold spell. Would recommend this property if you wish to visit Stratford on Avon and the Cotswolds. Mickleton village nearby, is a lovely friendly place and we recommend the Kings Arms for Sunday lunch, but you do need to book, because it is very popular by the locals.
-
"We had a fantastic stay in October half term at Oakdene."
What a beautiful property with everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It was quiet and spacious, and we immediately felt comfortable. We will definitely be back! Thank you for such a well needed family break.
-
"Excellent accommodation."
Nice quiet location, close to Leamington Spa and Stratford. Plenty of space for parking car in driveway. Cottage is clean and nicely equipped throughout with modern furniture. Highly recommended.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oakdene - lovely cottage and well equipped."
Very peaceful and quiet. Good location for getting around and seeing the local area. Sarah was very helpful - as was Rachel when we had a query.
-
"Superb property set in a quiet village."
A very comfortable house, extremely well equipped providing everything needed for a relaxing week away.
-
"A wonderful stay in a lovely holiday home."
The reviews are accurate - probably the best equipped cottage we have stayed at. Wi-Fi is ok but mobile reception can be temperamental. Some would say that’s a positive! Excellent location with many key sites and attractions within 20-30 mins drive. Waitrose is 10-15 mins drive and there is a local convenience store and pub up the road. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks to Sarah for the messages and the owners for having us.
-
"This is a wonderful house in a lovely location."
We stayed with our toddler and 6 week old baby and it was perfect. There is loads to do within an hour's drive and the local village has a good pub, playground and shop. The only negative is that it isn't dog friendly, but we still had the best week leaving the dog at home. We would definitely stay here again.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Oakdene, it’s a gorgeous property and it is very well equipped for all of your needs."
Fantastic communication from Sarah, who was very helpful. Welcome goodies were a lovely touch as well.
-
"Oakdene cottage certainly lived up to our expectations, with a bottle of bubbly and biscuits on arrival."
Modern property with all mod cons, and in a central position for visiting cotswold villages and just seven miles from Stratford upon Avon. The cottage is about three to four years old according to a neighbour, internet speed is slow but that’s due to village position. But we enjoyed so much we’re going to book oakdene again for next year.
-
"This was the first time staying at Oakdene, and it was exactly as described."
It was a beautiful house, with everything you could possibly need for your stay, well maintained and even a thoughtful welcome gift. A beautiful setting, with many places to visit nearby, or just to chill in the beautiful garden. Sarah was in contact from the moment we booked, until we arrived and happy to answer any questions we may have. We would definitely consider returning, as it’s such a beautiful house and an ideal base for exploring.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and staying at Oakdene contributed greatly to this."
It's a very clean and comfortable house with excellent, modern facilities and furniture and a relaxing sense of space both upstairs and down - in fact all one could possibly need for cooking, resting and sleeping well after a good day out. An excellent location for Cotswold touring, too. Ten out of ten!!
-
"Lovely Stay!"
It was our second time at Oakdene would highly recommend.
-
"A very comfortable property with all you need."
Many thanks for the wine, biscuits, tea bags, etc. Two small points - no visitors book (useful for other visitors comments re places to visit etc). Internet strength was okay but tended to be slow at times, especially when streaming. If you like feeding birds take some bird seed - there are feeders and lots of birds but no food was available. We purchased our own! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if returning to the area.
-
"I will start by thanking all the people involved in making us a beautiful and relaxing vacation."
The first person is Mrs. Sarah, the one who provided us with all the support and gave us a clean house, for sweet snacks and prosecco.... the second person we thank is the owner of the house, a house with everything, nothing is missing , everything you need to feel at home, all kinds of games for children, books to read for all ages, a well-kept yard, we had a little nature at our place, we are very satisfied with everything and will we will definitely come back one day to these wonderful places.....and also thank the people at sykes for all the details they gave us throughout our vacation, they are professionals and we recommend this website with confidence to anyone to have a successful holiday in all respects.
-

"We had a wonderful stay in Oakdene."
the property lived up to our expectations in every respect. everything was perfect so much so that we have booked a week for next year already. Would certainly recommend to friends and family and look forward to our return.
-
"Oakdene was an amazing find for a peaceful week away in the Cotswolds."
Very easy to use as a base for visiting other places. We had a fantastic week and the cottage provided all of the home comforts you could need - thank you Rachel and Sarah for making us feel so welcome and we can’t wait to return.
-
"Just returned from our week at Oakdene which we found to be a modern comfortable haven to spend our time."
The setting is peaceful with plenty of outside space, the house is modern, very clean and fully equipped for all your needs. Communication was good and the property accurately described. The property management kept in touch to ensure we were completely happy, which we thought was excellent. We have family in the Midlands and found it a perfect base to visit them and for them to come to us. It will be our first choice when we travel up again. Thank you for a enjoyable stay.
-
"This is a really lovely place to stay, very comfortable with every thing you need."
It’s situated in a lovely village handy for lots of lovely places to visit. A really lovely part of the country
-
"Very well equipped cottage A hand held vacuum would be great"
-
"Our stay at Oakdene was fantastic!"
The holiday cottage has everything you could possibly need to ensure a great stay including books, board games, and cleaning supplies. Oakdene was spotlessly clean on arrival as well as a lovely welcome pack which was a nice, personal, touch. The cottage has an information booklet with useful contact details and local amenities and attractions which proved to be very useful. One thing, however, and it's not an issue - if anything, it was a pleasant surprise - we did not know that there was lovely garden furniture at Oakdene as the pictures did not show this, so we brought our own. Hopefully, this will save unnecessary luggage for someone. Overall, this was a superb stay and I would highly recommend anyone thinking about visiting the Cotswolds to stay at Oakdene.
-
"Modern property set in a quiet rural area close to many interesting places."
Great kitchen with everything provided. Reading lights would improve the living area. Would prefer wider beds in the double and twin bedrooms. Poor mobile signal. Borderline WiFi service.
-
"A lovely cottage with all the comforts of home."
The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Sarah made us really welcome and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall a lovely place to stay in an ideal spot to visit the Cotswolds. We will definitely be back
-

Thank you J&M
-
"Fantastic property, very comfortable."
Everything in the house that you would need. The instruction manual answered any query we had. Great location for exploring. We’ve really enjoyed our stay at Oakdene, will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
-
"We had a great week."
The cottage was all we could ask for, lovely location,well appointed just home from home. We will certainly be hoping to return soon. The cycling all around the area safe and beautiful. Will remember the new lambs and daffodils for a long time. We thank all for our comfortable stay.
-
"Lovely property."
Clean Comfortable Extremely quiet area. Plenty of utensils and crockery. Only a 10 minute drive into Stratford. Good clear instructions for all household items. Only negative for us was we had to be out for 10am so felt we could have had a family breakfast before saying goodbye to our family as we all parted ways.
-
"Property was even larger than pictures show very spacious lovely and warm equipped with everything you require for your stay ."
Good communication nice extra touches would recommend to anyone can't wait to return

We can't wait to return there in the near future.
-
"The stay at Oakdene was almost perfect, the house was spotlessly clean and the accommodation was of the highest standard."
It was lovely to come into the house each day after walking in the cold January air to a cosy and warm environment. The temperature set as default were probably a little on the hot side and maybe a minor adjustment would make it perfect. The games and entertainment were very good and the smart tv was ideal.The surrounding area at Upper Quinton was lovely and we did a couple of walks from the house. With regards to the utensils etc in the kitchen, virtually everything you would want was provided with the exception of egg cups. It was so enjoyable a stay we would definitely book again when staying in the area. Thanks for a great week and the welcoming goodies.
-
"Perfect place for a week away."
In a nice quiet village. Would recommend to anybody!
-
"What a fantastic property!"
It is modern, clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed on our stay, including some very nice welcome treats. We stayed over Christmas, every effort was made to make things festive, and the kitchen was so well stocked we had no problems making our Christmas dinner. Highly recommended!
-
"Oakdene is an exceptionally well decorated and equipped cottage in a lovely, quiet location."
We stayed over a bitterly cold weekend but the house stayed beautifully warm and underfloor heating was a particur treat for the feet!
-
"Absolutely loved it"
-
"Good location!"
Central to all the attractions we wanted to visit! Oakdene is a lovely modern cottage and was pleased to have been given bottle of wine, chocolates, biscuits, milk, tea, coffee and sugar. Only negative, was the heating was a little awkward to use but luckily the electric heater in the living room did the job and the mini heater, supplied, to use for the bedroom.
