Beautiful English Cottage

We loved our stay at Welford Cottage. As soon as we walked in the door we felt at home. It was cozy, warm and inviting. Their neighbours were wonderful and the chocolate cake was delicious! Thank you so much-we will definitely be back and recommend Welford Cottage.

Nice stay in good location

This was a very well equipped cottage that was a short drive to Stratford city center. Convenient to a large grocery, nice pub, and all of the attractions of the area. The location was quiet and perfectly suited to our needs. Would stay again.

Beneden is het klein maar fijn, erg mooi ingericht met goede stoelen en buiten ook nog een terrasje. Boven twee ruime slaapkamers en een kleine badkamer. Let op: wie langer is dan 1.75 moet daar een helm opzetten ivm een laaghangende balk. Wij hingen er een witte theedoek over. Verder in alle opzichten voortreffelijk

Pleasant stay

I must say that we were expecting full laundry capabilities so packed light for our month stay. But with no clothes dryer we were caught off guard with minimal clothes which yes, we washed. But the clothes were always wet, hanging to dry in cool damp weather. Other cottages nearby had dryers so I would say there easily could have been in Welford Cottage too

Spiders and dust

This property was a disappontment because it was full of spiders, webs and dust. All the blind, curtains and windows were also quite dirty. Overall it would have been nice if it had just been clean. Despite claiming there is a dryer - there is not - the laundry racks are next to the garbage bins for the complex (not nice) and there is not really much room to put the drying rack near a heater to allow anything to dry (if it's raining outside). On our final day the maintenance team was on our roof at 8am cleaning the gutters etc... for over 4 hrs. When I complained to owner she offered to let us stay and extra night or a late check out, neither of which worked with our plans and then she reluctantly refunded us 30 pds - this number really made no sense to me. Hopefully the owner will work on making it cleaner for the next guests.

Lovely cosy cottage!

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is very inviting and characterful. Warm, cosy. Easy to find. Bus stop into Stratford etc is at the entrance. We loved the chocolate cake, plus orange juice, tea, coffee, milk. There’s also a coffee maker with pods. The garden was full of wildlife, with birds, rabbits, frogs and squirrels. Just delightful. If you are bringing children there is plenty of lovely lawn space for raquet games.etc. There’s a lovely patio too with table and chairs for sitting out. Waitrose isn’t far away by car and was wonderful for supplies. The cottage is about ten minutes from Stratford by car. We came for the theatre and we were so happy that we chose this lovely place to stay. So so peaceful at night. The bedrooms have skylight windows with blinds that firmly keep the light out- so important! Lovely comfortable beds, soft pillows, quality bed linen. Shower and bath were great, with lots of hot water. Body wash and shampoo are provided and liquid soap. Stairs go around and up and have banisters both sides and aren’t too steep. The downstairs loo is a bonus. The TV is easy to operate and has Netflix and Prime, etc, YouTube too- I did yoga. Plenty of room for a yoga mat in front of the TV! The furniture is two high backed comfortable chairs and a lovely soft sofa, blankets/ cushions provided. Parking- easy and safe with an allocated spot available. Easy to find, the location is good for exploring the Cotswolds as well as Stratford.

Peaceful Stay

Nice bijoux cottage with very comfortable beds in a quiet location. Good for visiting places/ towns of interest especially National Trust properties. Close to high end supermarket, garden centre and farm shops along with some interesting antique / emporium places - great on a rainy day. Stratford walkway nearby with railway carriage cafes at each end. Good pubs in the attractive Welford village nearby.

Wonderful stay in a wonderful cottage

We had a lovely week in Welford Cottage. Everything we expected and more. Lovely welcome goodies including a bottle of wine, bar of chocolate and snacks. Also essentials like a bottle of milk, tea and coffee etc. Although in the middle of a small terrace of cottages it was peaceful and cosy. The property has all your would need with a will equipped kitchen, cosy open plan living areas and good sized comfortable bedrooms. The large communal garden was a delight to look out onto watching the wildlife. Plenty of parking with a dedicated space and ample visitor spaces if you have more than 1 car. Close to Stratford-upon-Avon and plenty of places to visit in the area. Supermarket 5 minutes away which proved essential when you run out of milk or wine in the evening. Handy having reliable WiFi and a good selection of evening viewing if that's your thing, Freeview, Netflix and Primer Video so never short of things to watch if you want a cosy evening in. Although we usually rent a property in France each year, this year being a little bit different we wouldn't hesitate to return in the future. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Many thanks to Sarah

Lovely property, quiet and relaxing

I was looking for a quiet place to write/work. The property, although it is in a row of houses and has a communal back garden, was very peaceful indeed - I barely heard anyone else. and the garden is huge and lovely! The house is exceptionally clean, well equipped and attractive. The owner is very helpful, responding to any queries very quickly. It's well situated for the town of Stratford upon Avon, about ten minutes drive, and I would highly recommend it to any visitors.

Great Place to get away

Great little cottage... 2 large bedrooms a comfy open plan downstairs with a fully functioning kitchen. The taps around the wrong way caused many laughs as we all got caught by it. Didn't realise until after booking that the fireplace was display only... but all in all the weather didn't justify the use of a fire. We had a nice walk into the local village and 8-10 UKP for an uber into town centre. House was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Wellford Cottage
