Guests say
The Old Workshop is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and beautiful location. Guests enjoyed the peaceful setting, proximity to local attractions, and welcoming hosts. The property is suitable for family gatherings and offers a relaxing retreat with modern amenities and thoughtful touches like a lemon drizzle cake on arrival.
Guests consistently noted the property as 'spotlessly clean', indicating high standards of cleanliness. Only one mention of minor cleaning details suggests room for improvement, but overall, the cleanliness is exceptional.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and quiet, with easy access to countryside walks, local pubs, and nearby attractions. The only minor drawback mentioned was the lack of a clear sign for the property.
Reviewers found the beds very comfortable and the property spacious, with several positive comments about the underfloor heating and powerful showers. Comfort was a highlight for many guests.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample bathrooms. However, some guests noted the need for maintenance, such as cracked tiles and a non-functioning oven, which suggests that while the facilities are good, there is room for improvement.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of a welcome pack, lemon drizzle cake, and flowers. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had a wonderful stay in The Old Workshop. The property was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We were worried it would be a little chilly as we visited in January, but the underfloor heating was toasty so we didn’t even bees to use the lovely log burner. The directions were clear and easy to follow, with simple check-in and check-out.

The Old Workshop - was lovely - welcoming Warm - The place is fully equipped, and plenty of wood for the burner. Although if you have the heating on you dont need to use :) But who doesnt like a log burner fire....... We spent New years there - Stratford apon Avon is close by and the Bell pub - 30 min walk through the sheep field was good as well. Would look to book again.....
