“We loved our stay in Megs cottage.”

It is clean and comfortable, with plenty of space in the kitchen/ lounge and lots of hot water, etc. It’s well equipped. It has a peaceful, rural feel, despite being only about 20/ 25 minutes flat walk into Stratford Upon Avon.

It is clean and comfortable, with plenty of space in the kitchen/ lounge and lots of hot water, etc. It’s well equipped. It has a peaceful, rural feel, despite being only about 20/ 25 minutes flat walk into Stratford Upon Avon. We enjoyed sitting out in the quiet garden. By the way, a parasol / awning would be advantageous. Both doors to the bedrooms would benefit from some planing to stop them scraping on the floor.

“Fine cottage in a great location.”

Comfy and cosy. Plumbing a little noisy but not too much of a problem. As a bit of a cook, more pans and general kitchen equipment would have been useful! A great place to stay to visit the area.

- Michael, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have now replaced all saucepans, frying pan and wok. We will take a look to see what else we could provide in terms of kitchen equipment. Glad you enjoyed your time with us. Property Owner
Janet April 2022

“Level of equipment in the cottage was fine for two people but would have been an issue if four were staying e.”

G. only 4 dinner plates. Hob was very slow. Toilet pumps are very noisy! The location was fantastic and the cottage was very peaceful.

- Janet, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into putting more plates. The hob is actually being replaced this week as well as a new work surface in the kitchen. Due to the property location, toilets etc are on a saniflow system which makes them more noisy than the usual systems. Glad you enjoyed the location, we really are well located for Stratford and surrounding areas. Property Owner

“A Caffetier would have made it wonderful.”

We had to go out and buy one.

- Rosaline, March 2022
Lorraine February 2022

“We had a lovely week at Megs cottage the only small negatives being an unpleasant odour from the Sami flow toilets and the fact there was no hand soap in the bathroom.”

- Lorraine, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback Lorraine. We will look into why there was a smell from the toilets as we understand this must have been very unpleasant for you. We usually put hand soap in all en-suites, must have been an oversight. Thank you for letting us know. Property Owner
Kate February 2022

“Very comfortable and convenient for Stratford.”

Unfortunately two of our party were taken Ill so could not enjoy our stay but t have to say thank you to the host Andrea for her kindness and understanding.

- Kate, February 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was a real shame two in your party were taken ill whilst away to enjoy your break. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage Good location Nice and comfortable Thankyou”

“We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Meg's Cottage.”

The property was warm and very comfortable, especially the sofas! After reading the previous reviews, we were prepared for intermittent wifi. However, the owners have now rectified this and we had no issues with it, including the use of the smart tv. The cottage is situated in a beautiful area with lots to see and do locally. We can recommend Aladdins Indian restaurant and the Riverside restaurant for food/drink, both of which are within walking distance. We also visited Stratford, Warwick Castle and Charlecote Park which were lovely days out and all within 15 minutes drive. The Dirty Duck pub in Stratford is well worth a visit too. We would recommend Meg's Cottage for those wanting a peaceful retreat. The owners were easily contactable for any queries and we would definitely stay in their cottage again.

- Alison, November 2021

Thank you for your lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed everything Stratford and surrounding areas has to offer. Property Owner

“The property was comfortable but we noticed that the kitchen work surface was coming apart at the joints and needs replacing.”

A welcome book would have been nice to say what to do with the bin bags as their was no outside bin. The doors need adjustment so that they opened without scraping against the floor. The WiFi definitely needs to be sorted as it packed up on the first day their. Thank you for the welcome package of the milk and juice. We found the cottage value for money.

- D, November 2021
Alan October 2021

“The house was very nice, comfortable and well equipped , maybe put in the listing that there is only a view of a back fence of a neighbours house.”

Maybe get the internal doors fixed, really loud scraping on the floor. Plus points, nice and quiet, access to the river taxi and pub/cafe on site. Good restaurants and pub quarter of a mile away and stratford five minute drive away.

- Alan, October 2021
Hazel October 2021

“The cottage is surrounded with interesting places to visit which are not very far to travel.”

Also you can walk into Stratford easily or take the water taxi which is fun.

- Hazel, October 2021
Norma October 2021

“This was our second stay at Meg's Cottage and would come back again should we have another visit to Stratford upon Avon.”

The cottage is very comfortable and the 2 en-suite rooms make it very convenient. The location is only a 30 minute walk from the centre of the town and on a good bus route to Warwick and Leamington Spa.

- Norma, October 2021
Joanne September 2021

“Lovely cottage, comfortable beds, pleasant venue and nicely provisioned accomodation.”

As others have commented the wifi wasn't reliable. I would have preferred to be aware of the caravan and camping site next to the cottage when I made the booking rather than finding out when the directions arrived. Though we were not the least disturbed and heard no noise. Finally given the time of covid I was surpised to find open food items of flour, oil, and unopened juice and milk, presumably left by the previous occupants in the cupboard/fridge. I was also surprised the oven glove and kitchen towels were used and assumed the previous occupant had left them. Thankfully we had our own with us. There were also socks in a bedroom drawer. These were minor things but affected my feelings about the accomodation and made me doubt it had been properly cleaned, as did the sticky kitchen floor. I would have expected any items like this to have been removed and the floor to be cleaned.

- Joanne, September 2021

We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Megs Cottage. We put our heart and soul into creating two holiday properties from a historic grade 2 agricultural barn and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the holiday experience of our guests. You have brought to our attention points that "were minor things but affected my feelings about the accommodation", therefore we would like to answer those points below. We are aware that the wifi signal is intermittent in the area, as stated on our property details. Most guests are ok with this on a relaxing break, but we are trying to find a reliable solution. There is the perimeter of a very nice managed caravan park about 200 meters away on the approach to Megs Cottage, which has never caused us any issues, especially as all you can see is a handful of well-kept static caravans. In fact you can't even see them from the holiday cottage and we are situated in a private gated courtyard. It is actually a bonus that our guests can use the caravan park's lovely riverside restaurant and bars, the laundrette as well as the very handy riverboat taxis to visit historic Stratford-upon-Avon without taking the car. We apologise for missing one pair of socks left by one of our previous guests in the back of a drawer. We will be more vigilant. Regarding the "unopened juice and milk, presumably left by the previous occupants in the cupboard/fridge", we leave a simple welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar milk, juice and other provisions which most of our guests appreciate. We apologise if you felt the floor wasn't as clean as you would expect. We will address this with our cleaners of course. Thank you for your feedback, it helps us to improve our accommodation and the holiday experience of our future guests. Thank you for staying with us and we hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

“Lovely period Barn conversation.”

The owners were very helpful and informative. Only 1 mile from Stratford upon Avon so great location for all local amenities. Water taxi ride was great and very reasonably priced.

“Top class accommodation”

Richard July 2021

“The property was in a nice location, close to Stratford, but far enough out to be quiet, with some local amenities such as a shop and restaurants.”

The furnishings were nice and the sofas were comfy, and we liked the character of the property. We appreciated the 2 bathrooms, although the toilets used macerators and were very noisy. However, this is the most expensive 2 bedroomed property we have ever stayed in (presumably partly due to covid) and we felt there were some things lacking given the cost of the holiday. There were gaps at ceiling level between the 3 rooms which meant that noise travelled freely, making sleep difficult if anyone else was in the main living area. We felt there could have been more crockery as there were only 4 of a number of items. As it was the height of summer, an outdoor dining table and chairs with umbrella would have been a useful addition so that a meal could be eaten outside. As others have said the wifi was very poor, and we felt that the cleaning could have been better in some areas (eg the bedrooms which were dusty in places and had numerous spiders). Overall the space was quite small, probably better suited for a autumn/winter short break rather than a main summer holiday. Overall we have enjoyed our break and exploring the surrounding areas, in particular Warwick Castle which is only a 15 min drive away. Unfortunately the water taxi was not operating during our stay.

- Richard, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate your comments and will carryout a full infantry of kitchenware and replace crockery and glasses. We will look into the layout of the property at the end of season. We do have comfortable outdoor seating for relaxing. We hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your feedback, Kind regards Property Owner
Janet July 2021

“The Internet was not working for the first two days and was only partially working for the remainder.”

It significantly restricted our intended use and was a major frustration to us. The fridge was not up to standard with iced up freezer compartment. Very limited crockery.

- Janet, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. we have addressed the freezer compartment and thank you for bringing to our attention. We are carrying out a full infantry for kitchenware. We do hope you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your comments. Kind regards. Property Owner
Keith June 2021

“It was a very enjoyable stay.”

As we had a hot week a garden umbrella plus base would have been beneficial. At times the wi-fi internet was poor

- Keith, June 2021
Kathy May 2021

“As the weather wasn't great, it was a bonus that we could really enjoy being in the cottage as it was so comfortable and also near restaurants and takeaways.”

Beds were comfy too. Slept really well.

- Kathy, May 2021
Nicole October 2020

“Such a lovely property, our host was so helpful and made a number of recommendations for us.”

The rooms are very comfortable, and very quite. Our children loved it, Stratford-Upon-Avon is a short drive, the property was always lovely and warm. We had the best fish and chips in Fizz and Fin !

- Nicole, October 2020
Jeni September 2020

“This property is ideally situated for all local amenities.”

The restaurant on the holiday park next to the cottage (which did not bother us in the slightest) was delightful and very aware of all COVID restrictions. The property was warm and cozy and the beds were very comfortable. The owners were very helpful and obliging. The cottage was fully equipped although maybe a baking tray wouldn’t have gone amiss. The front garden was surprisingly peaceful and private. The only niggle I would have (and it is a minor one) is that a few pegs in the lounge for hanging coats up would have been useful.

- Jeni, September 2020
Delia July 2020

“A beautiful cottage in a great location for exploring the area.”

After a day out it was really nice to come back to the comfy beds and quiet surroundings. I would recommend Meg’s Cottage 100%.

- Delia, July 2020
Denise February 2020

“There was one minor problem which Andrea was quick to resolve.”

One small irritation that might seem petty, we were supplied with bath towels and not bath sheets which are not ideal for taller or larger people.

- Denise, February 2020
Karen September 2019

“What a lovely place to stay.”

The cottage is beautiful and the little extras, tea, coffee, pastries etc made it so much nicer. Close to the town centre. The is a folder with lots of up to date tourist info which we found very helpful. Thanks Kurt and Andrea we would definitely stay again.

- Karen, September 2019
Oliver September 2019

“This is our second time stay at Megs cottage so knew what to expect.”

Well laid out cottage with a homely feel and is the perfect size for us as a family with two boys. The river taxi is a short walk to town and is centrally locates for anything else you want to do. Will stay again. Thanks

- Oliver, September 2019
Joanne August 2019

“Such a fantastic week at megs cottage, it really is a gem, the owners were really friendly and helpful and really had thought of everything, the property was really clean and the beds were really comfy, my 2 boys loved fishing on and swimming in the river Avon, I highly recommend the water taxi into Stratford-Upon-Avon.”

Tiddington village had a lovely pub, Chinese and Indian and a well stocked shop, we really did have a fantastic time and plan to go back soon.

- Joanne, August 2019
Michael July 2019

“A nice cottage, very well placed for visiting the Stratford Upon Avon area.”

Clean and comfortable. The owners are very helpful and happy to deal with any request for assistance. Would be happy to visit again.

Elizabeth May 2019

“Megs Cottage was everything we hoped it would be and so much more, it was a beautiful place, in a fantastic location, with everything we could possibly need.”

The starter pack was great and lasted us most of the week. Kurt was really helpful and recommmended some local places which were wonderful. We got the water taxi several times and really enjoyed that. We absolutely loved it. Would not hesitate to recommend and would love to visit again.

- Elizabeth, May 2019
Steve April 2019

“Warm welcome from owner who provided a nice touch by leaving us some milk, bread, spread biscuits etc.”

, as well as foil, tea coffee sugar salt, pepper etc.. In fact all the basic necessities when self catering. Megs cottage is ideally located about 1.5 miles of easy walking from Stratford or indeed one can take to river taxi. There is a modern restaurant and bar on the site and a local grocery shop just a short walk away. Thank you.

- Steve, April 2019
Alison April 2019

“What a gem!”

A wonderful barn situated in the most opportune location. Lovely finishing touches on arrival with croissants and Easter eggs! The decor was stylish with some great art work. Excellent location and we explored Stratford, Cadbury World and Warwick Castle as well as shopping in Solihull. The village of Tiddington has everything you could need and the Riverside bar and restaurant on site was a bonus.

- Alison, April 2019
Harriet April 2019

“My kids (4 & 2), my husband and I had a wonderful 4 night holiday here.”

The cottage was lovely; clean, comfortable, warm and full of character. Brilliant location, and the kids loved the boat taxi into Stratford which you could get in the neighbouring caravan and camping park. We all wanted to stay much longer and hope to be back soon! Many thanks from us all x

- Harriet, April 2019
Richard March 2019

“On arrival we found a Welcome Pack which far exceeded those we had experienced at other houses we have rented.”

Thank You! The house had the feeling that it had been well thought out and was very comfortably furnished. The property was very secluded yet only a 10 minute drive into the centre of Stratford upon Avon. An excellent holiday.

- Richard, March 2019
John March 2019

“Proximity to stratford and other attractions cleanliness comfort”

- John, March 2019
Tom February 2019

“We had a lovely stay at Meg’s Cottage, it was as quaint and charming as it looked in the pictures.”

The owners were very friendly and flexible with our arrival time, and we appreciated the croissants, jam and milk they provided for breakfast. The cottage had basic ingredients to cook with such as oil, margarine and salt & pepper (it’s the little things that help when self-catering!) We enjoyed its convenient position for quickly and easily getting to Stratford-Upon-Avon and other local attractions, literally just a 5 minute drive down the road. Although it was very quiet, at times we were conscious of visitors to the neighbouring cottage due to the shared parking area at the front of the cottage. Overall we really enjoyed our long weekend at Meg’s Cottage, and would definitely recommend it to others.
