Snaptrip says

Highcroft is a well-received holiday cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon, praised for its warm kitchen with an Aga, spacious garden, and ideal location. Guests enjoyed the homely feel, the welcoming touches like homemade scones, and the property's suitability for family gatherings. Some noted the layout of bedrooms and bathroom access as a drawback, but overall, the property is highly recommended for its comfort, facilities, and proximity to local attractions.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as clean and well-kept, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard maintained by the owners.

The property's location is frequently praised for its proximity to Stratford-upon-Avon and local amenities. However, some guests noted traffic noise from the nearby main road, slightly impacting the overall score.

Comfort is highlighted with mentions of cosy fires, comfortable beds, and a homely atmosphere. The spaciousness for large groups and families adds to the comfort level, although the bedroom layout caused minor inconvenience for some.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen, garden, and tennis court. However, some guests mentioned issues with the showers and the lack of a downstairs toilet, which affects the score.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the warm welcomes, such as homemade scones on arrival. While these gestures are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Janet

    The kitchen was really well equipped. The children loved the trampoline

  • Andrew

    The house feels like someone’s home, with lots of pictures on the walls and well resourced kitchen cabinets. The AGA and large kitchen table boosted the convivial mood. With a great location, room for parking, and Stratford just down the road it was all we needed.

  • Frank

    There was enough room for all of us - 6 adults and 2 children. The large kitchen area is especially pleasant and warm in October with the Aga running. Please note that if all bedrooms are in use then the occupants of 2 of the upstairs bedrooms can't get to the kitchen without going through another bedroom. This is OK if everyone is a family member but may not be if a group of friends have got together, for instance.
