Peter
The location was excellent for exploring Stratford and other Cotswold villages. There are also several NT places within a few miles. The cottage was very comfortable with constantly warm under floor heating - so no need for slippers! It is a barn conversion which has been done very well, showing many of the original timbers.

Only few minor issues, WIFI was very weak kept dropping out, could do with more crockery i.e pasta/soup bowls etc, kitchen tap had some mould around it, otherwise a good place to stay.
