Striking home IN Stratford-on-Avon, a stroll to all key attractions.Sleeps 14-15

Wonderful property for our large group! Loved our stay there. Definitely recommend

Amazing stay in this spacious character property. Everything we needed for a girlie night away for 6 of us (a room each). We had great weather so we could sit in the quiet garden. Masses of ice in the freezer and an ice machine so that was a bonus. Highly recommend.

Host Teresa-Anne is available and a great asset to the property. The property is well located and it’s easy to use to walk to all Shakespeare’s locations.Property has 6 bedrooms with four double beds and 2 small single bed rooms. While the listing says there are fold out beds - they are barely 3 inch floppy foam constructs.The kitchen has a small oven, and the cooking utensils are in need of being updated. Fortunately it was winter and we could use the AGA - which is finicky, and cuts out if not treated just right (increase temp a half step ever half hour), and has no temperature gauge so makes for a guessing cook.The house cleaners seriously let the owners down. There were thick layers of dust and dirt in the drawers, on surfaces and on door frames. We spent the first two hours cleaning and purchased air filtration to mitigate the allergens.The furniture is old - in particular the couch in the kitchen and the bed mattresses need replacement. The bedding is paper thin, the pillows flat, towels threadbare and have holes, and the nothing matches.With a long overdue refresh of linens, towels, bedding, furniture; a proper deep clean, increasing the available cooking methods in the kitchen, and a replenishment of cooking utensils this property could shine.

Excellent

The freezer was full of food, many opened boxes and packets, and item wrapped in foil. There was only one shelf that I could use. A larder cupboard in the kitchen area was full of used/ open items, incl. oil bbf 2022. My food was stored on the worktops. Two double beds in one room was in fact one bed and a mattress on the floor. One bedroom had a wardrobe full of clothes and other things on the floor. We found that most of the drawers in each room had items in them, inculding a old make up used razor and medication. There were cobwebs on the inside of windows and dust/dirt on a several surfaces. Although Theresa-Anne responded quickly to my messages, her reason for the house being the way I found it was that family members often stayed there. I feel things should have been checked before we arrived. Having said all this we did have a nice holiday. The children and dog enjoyed the garden and having 2 dishwashers was a benefit as there were 12 of us.

Large house, plenty of room for five of us to spread out. Enough outside garden chairs which we used as the weather was really hot.

Lovely house with super helpful hosts. Rooms don’t fully match the descriptions on VRBO but was perfect for what we needed.

The house was ideal for our two families meeting up for a birthday celebration. The location was great and walking distance to town centre. All rooms were neat and tidy. The living room area was so warm and relaxing with a log fire. The kitchen was very practical and we could all fit around the island when preparing and cooking food.

Oak Cottage is in a good location and the downstairs area great for socialising. The kitchen is so well stocked it made cooking easy. The large dining table can just about fit 12. The upstairs wasn’t quite as I’d expected. The room labelled as “two double beds” was one double bed and a small mattress, not really suitable for adults. The room labelled as a double bed and a single bed, was again a single mattress on the floor, as was another “single bed”. A few people found the duvets not warm enough (but appreciate this is personal taste).

This is a great property for family/ friends as very spacious and lovely and warm! Also great position for walk to town and also pub few mins walk away

The house was perfect for our family get together, the large downstairs space worked really well for us. Lots of space and rooms makes it a perfect house for big groups who want to spend time together.

The perfect house for a girls night in. From the start of booking the host was helpful and attentive with any questions I had. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this house.
