About this property

Country House between Stratford Upon Avon and Warwick, Superb Views, Sleeps 8-10

Country House very conveniently situated between Stratford upon Avon and Warwick and within easy reach of the Cotswolds.

This very private residence is set in mature, manicured grounds at the top of Black Hill which gives it a superb commanding view over Stratford upon Avon town and across towards Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Campden, Cheltenham Spa and the Cotswolds. In the more immediate vicinity are the very pretty villages of Snitterfield, which is a little over 1 mile away from the house and Hampton Lucy, which is about the same distance in the opposite direction. In Snitterfield you will find a well stocked village shop and pub and in Hampton Lucy you will find another pub and the Charlecote Park National Trust Property. Both pubs have excellent menus as well as a selection of real ales and Charlecote Park gives a great opportunity for river side walks in the company of the hundreds of resident Deer. Naturally, the amenities and attractions of Warwick and Stratford speak for themselves and both towns are virtually on the doorstep of this property being around four miles away in either direction.

The house itself is a tastefully decorated and well proportioned 1930's building with three double ensuite bedrooms, one double bedroom with a family bathroom. On the ground floor, the double opening front doors lead into a reception hall with crystal chandeliers. To the left, a large sitting room with log burner and inglenook fireplace can comfortably accommodate 10 people as can the large dining kitchen with gas Aga. Although this house has a fairly sophisticated feel to it the log burner and Aga make for some very cosy nights in during the winter. Also on the ground floor is a water closet, washing machine and TV room for the benefit of those who may either want a little more peace themselves or to give those in the rest of the house the benefit of that peace.

The house is advertised as having five double bedrooms, although only the four double bedrooms on the first floor will be made available for the price advertised. The fifth bedroom is in a separate single storey lodge house, located barely 20 metres away from the main house. The lodge is equipped with its own kitchen, sitting room, double bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Although the lodge makes for a very pleasant retreat in its own right, as it is all on one floor, with no steps or stairs it does lend itself very well to people who may be experiencing mobility issues. The lodge is available for and additional payment of just £200 per weekend. A camp bed and travel cot are also available by request. Should you have any other requirements, just ask and I will endeavor to accommodate you..

Please note that as spring and summer guests do not require the log burner, and as many guests are not familiar with fire lighting, logs and kindling are not provided. There is a garden centre over the road that sells firewood, if you have not collected any on your way to the property.

Beautiful house in a lovely location

Stayed with my family for new year. We loved it, rooms were lovely and comfortable. Plenty room everywhere. Extra special having Christmas tree’s in 2 rooms. Took us a while to sort the Aga out but got there in the end. Gated long drive making it very private. Would definitely stay here again. Easy to contact James the owner if we needed to

Misleading

I never like to leave poor reviews because this is someone’s business.It you look back to previous years reviews concerning old, damaged and stained furniture, this has not changed.This property only has four double rooms in the house and not five as stated.The owner was rude, condescending and threatening. Definitely would not book again.

Experience of booking through Vbro was dreadful. Once we were able to speak to the owner, James, communication was fine and James was very helpful and responded to queries quickly. House is located 4 miles from Stratford upon Avon.

Perfect home for a family/friends gathering

We had a great time at this lovely house, which was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family gathering. The house felt welcoming with a great kitchen which was incredibly well-equipped, plenty of utensils, cups, and everything we needed, making cooking and dining together very easy. The AGA added a warm, homely touch, and we thoroughly enjoyed using it. Also great to have so many bathrooms and comfortable beds. The garden provided the perfect space for outdoor games, and the views and sunsets were beautiful. The location was ideal for our gathering and very conveniently situated for a small Waitrose and butchers (in Dobbies Garden Centre) across the road. All perfect for a group of family and/or friends to relax and enjoy each other’s company. A big thank you to James, our wonderful host, who was always available if needed and made sure our stay was comfortable from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this house for any family gathering.

Lovely Rural Retreat

I stayed here with my family (3 generations) for a long weekend. The property was great, a nice long gated drive way which had plenty of parking spaces. Beautiful views from the back garden which was very well presented. Enough space inside for all of us and 2 dogs. The downstairs room was a highly important feature for my Nan who cannot walk upstairs. It was very convenient having three bedrooms that were en-suite. The house had everything that was needed and was clean (a few stains on carpets but this could be overlooked). The location was ideal and so quiet. Great to have Dobbies across the road for any essentials. Communication with the host was excellent and really easy to contact if needed. We would definitely recommend to larger parties especially families and when the weather is warm so that the garden can be fully enjoyed.

Fabulous family home for family reunion ages 4 months to 90

Arrangements beforehand went very smoothly. James spent time preparing the house including downstairs bedroom for elderly member of family. Super sized clean bedrooms with en-suites and a bath available for toddlers. Two lovely sitting rooms with plenty of chairs for different activities. Kitchen with arga and large dining table with loads of crockery and cutlery. Garden totally safe for toddlers including an electric gate. Long drive so no worries about parking. And an additional self contained granny annex a few yards from the house. All in all a perfect family home suitable for all ages whatever the weather. Thank you James we will visit again.

Lovely Christmas Stay

We booked James's' house last minute as our Christmas plans had to change. He was very helpful before and during the stay and always responded quickly to any questions we had. The house was in a great location for a family group who were travelling from different directions. The house was large and there was lots of space for people to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped and we had fun getting used to the aga, which was a bit of a challenge on Christmas day, but we managed it and it added to the charm of the house. We did have a couple of power failures during the stay but we were able to fix it and it didn't detract from our enjoyment. Thanks for everything.

Disappointed

Extremely disappointed as the website states there are 5 king sized beds & 1 double when it is the exact opposite 5 double & 1 king !!! also 1 cane dining chair had a hole in the middle, & 1 faux leather dining chair was shredding bits of black plastic all over the kitchen floor. Some of the chairs in the lounge had tears in the fabric, & the carpet on one of the stairs was badly fitting which is a trip hazard. Some of the decor is also looking pretty tired & could do with a lick of paint.Also the lodge was very poor & looks like a garden shed!
