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.

Perfect!

Lovely little cottage, nestled between fields and the canal with a perfect pub at the end of the drive. Very quiet and peaceful. Small courtyard so the dogs could be outside. Walks along the canal and over the fields. Would absolutely stay again. Our host was perfect!! Warmly recommended

I really love this accommodation. It has all you could need for a short, or long stay. It is very clean and Nigel the host is very affable. Whilst morally l know l should share this location, my dark side is saying not as l want to rebook for another visit and don’t want to run the risk of missing out!

Great place to stay

Just had two nights at this lovely property, visiting relatives who live near, didn’t want to leave, ideal for us and our dogs, and what views from the windows across the fields, just so peaceful. We are looking forward to going back again to enjoy the surroundings and especially to stay in Nigel’s cozy, clean and homely stable conversation which has everything and more that you would need to spend your time in. We couldn’t fault it.

Little bolt hole

We stayed for a week in December during a hard time for our family, and the property was just what we were after; rural, quiet and calm, with a lovely pub just yards away. The only issue we ran into was that the dishwasher was too small to clean the plates provided. But the owner was pleasant, the wood burner made things cost, and the bathroom was clean. Napton is a lovely village with a really good local store, and the Folly pub is fantastic. This property would work for a couples’ mini-break as I bet there are some good hiking routes in the area too.
