We throughly enjoyed out time there, there was plenty of room, the grounds were amazing and everyone loved the tennis court which for us doubled as a pickle ball court. The hosts were wonderful, Sue's scones were delightful. The location was so close to everything, it was great. Everything you need was there.

Only downside it backs onto a very noisy busy road, but we got used to it.

The house was very well equipped, and we had everything we needed. The outside space was beautiful and we loved sitting out in the garden. Location is fantastic for Stratford if you're happy to drive in.
