Wharf Cottage, Wootton Wawen

About this property

Discover Wharf Cottage, a gem in the Warwickshire countryside. Set on the 'offside' banks of the South Stratford Canal, which runs through beautiful countryside from Lapworth to Stratford upon Avon.

Approached via a private drive with parking for two cars, Wharf Cottage is situated in secluded location within the beautiful Warwickshire countryside on the banks of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal.

With all accommodation on the ground floor, there are two double bedrooms, both with large comfortable beds, one of which can be converted to twin single beds if required. The spacious dining kitchen is very well equipped with an electric oven and separate hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and a wine chiller - in fact everything to make your stay comfortable. An archway leads through to the sitting room with its warming open fire for those cosy winter evenings, and a wide screen Smart television for quiet nights in, the large window affords beautiful views over the rolling countryside.

Outside, guests can enjoy two sitting areas exclusive to Wharf Cottage: a patio area with table and chairs overlooking the fields; and a waterside area where you can enjoy the waterway with passing narrow boats or even a spot of fishing. With the owners living nearby, they will be on hand if guests require anything during their stay.

Wharf Cottage, whilst benefitting from its lovely rural setting, is also convenient for the historic towns of Stratford-upon-Avon (4.5 miles), Warwick (8.5 miles) and Henley-in-Arden (4 miles). Bearley railway station (0.6 mile) offers direct trains to Stratford, Warwick, Birmingham and beyond. There are a large number of walking and cycling routes right on the doorstep and plenty of great pubs and cafes on route. The nearest villages are Aston Cantlow and Wilmcote - both are about a 40 minute walk or 10 minute drive. Walking south down the canal towpath (on the opposite bank to Wharf Cottage) takes you to Stratford in about 1hr 40mins or 30mins by bike. Walking north on the towpath takes you Wootton Wawen with post office, craft centre and cafe in about 30mins. Right on the doorstep is England’s longest aqueduct, allowing narrow boats to travel across the valley 80ft above the ground.
