About this property

Conversion Of Listed Canal Side Stable, Views Over Rolling Fields

Offers rural seclusion and a great base for gongoozling (canal watching!), walking and cycling. It is within easy driving to Stratford, the Cotswolds, Coventry Cathedral, Warwick Castle, Leamington Spa and National Trust properties.
The property is adjacent to the lock keepers cottage and was originally built for the horses used on the canal. The only other neighbours are sheep, although there is a traditional pub 100 metres away.
Gates have been recently added to the courtyard allowing your dog outside security.

Everything was great, perfect peaceful location for switching off and unwinding. Lovely country walks on your doorstep. Parking and check-in a breeze. I thought it might be chilly in the cottage with the stone floors but it was very warm and cosy. Wood for the fire is included (which I made full use of) and more easily available from Tesco garage, not really necessary as the house is so well heated but great if you love a real fire. It’s also more spacious than it looks in the pictures! Hope to be back again soon!

Great stay again in this lovely cottage with everything you need during your stay. Bed very comfortable too which is always a bonus. Wonderful position alongside the canal, great walk for our 4 hounds. Little secure gated courtyard ideal to sit out in the sun for afternoon tea. The Folly pub is just past the boundary of the property so enjoyed a lovely meal there. You can see The Stables from the pub garden. Perfect little spot!

John, Thanks for the review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. For some reason I gave you a 4* review of “House rules”. This was a result of my incorrect use of the keyboard and in no way reflects on you and your stay here. I apologise for this error and hope to welcome you here again. Regards, Nigel

Perfect Stay

A most enjoyable 3 days at this really well located and also very well maintained cottage.The cottage is bigger than may first appear from the photos. (Note the bathroom is very nice too with a lovely modern shower - in case a photo of it still does not appear in the details of the property) Nigel was the perfect host.
