If you’re looking for a rural escape within walking distance of sights, pubs, cafés and shops, this is the spot for you. Enjoy the tranquillity of a bungalow in a private garden surrounded by woodland and fields where you can still walk into the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon. And it’s a glorious walk too – around twenty minutes along the traffic-free riverside path. You’re right next to Stratford Race Course if you fancy a flurry on the horses and it’s a twenty-minute walk to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. There’s also a shop and a couple of local pubs five minutes away. After a day exploring the home of The Bard, return to the crackle of a wood-burning stove in the living room. A collection of books and board games make for cosy nights in and the country-style kitchen has all the equipment you need for self-catering. Heading out to the garden you know this place is child-friendly with a big lawn to run around and a swing set. If you’re lucky you might spot deer grazing in the field beyond.
