Castle View

Great place for visit to Warwick .

Great comms with Peter.lovely house .

Had a lovely week at Castle View which is an ideal place to stay for visiting the surrounding area.

Warwick itself is a lovely town full of shops ,cafes , bars , restaurants, parks and not forgetting the castle. Peter the host was lovely and came straight away to sort the small problem we had with the TV and shower. The house itself was ideal for our party of four ladies with plenty of space and comfortable accommodation. We would definitely recommend and hopefully visit again sometime .

Beautiful place and in an ideal location.

Host was great, excellent communication and made sure we had everything we needed. Defo recommend and would stay there again.

The photos do not do the house justice, place very spacious clean and extra bits added like coffee tea etc were not expected but very helpful.

House also in great location would highly recommend, owner was all very helpful with info and sorting any requirements.

It's the perfect location in the heart of Warwick with garage & if required resident's parking too.

The property is spacious & well equipped in a quiet street with a view of the castle. Peter is very responsive & will promptly resolve any potential problems. Highly recommended!

Lovely property for a holiday.

Great location as right by the Castle and so near centre of town - yet quiet at night. Would definitely recommend.

This is a lovely house, easily suitable for eight people.

It has a courtyard, a conservatory, a lounge, a dining area, and a kitchen all on the ground floor thereby giving plenty of breakout areas if needed. Plus a ground floor toilet, easily accessible from the courtyard. The first floor has two bedrooms, one ensuite and the other bedroom has a bathroom and toilet next to it. There is also a lovely balcony along the landing which can seat eight. The second floor has an en-suite bedroom and large open plan area used as a bedroom with a wrap around balcony off it. This balcony is narrow so no group sitting, more of "in a line" sitting scenario. The en-suite bedroom is the sole toilet and shower on this floor but with us all being family and not minding being disturbed at night it wasn't an issue for the bedroom to be walked through by the others sleeping in the large open plan bed area, but it may not suit others. The house is in a great location with Warwick castle a few steps away. Warwick itself is walking distance and it has lots of independent shops and places to eat along with the usual chain establishments. The garage really is very tight squeeze. A Citroen C4 just about fitted in but the boot and rear doors weren't able to be opened once inside the garage, so unloading took place outside then the car parked in the garage. The owner kindly sorted a the sole parking permit allowed by the council for another car, and a further car parked for three nights and two days in a pay & display car park near Sainsbury's. If you do park outside the property be aware it is pay & display and has very keen traffic wardens patrolling. The owner kept in touch before, during and after our visit providing helpful information for us. It's a great place to stay, plenty of room, nice and warm, lots of space and we do recommend it to others.

A unique and interesting property.

Set in an ideal place for touring Warwick, close to amenities. Friendly and efficient host. Thank you xx

The property is spacious and quirky and is brilliantly located to Warwick.

Generally the bathrooms need upgrading, the black grouting on the shower tiles and mouldy carpet make the place look unclean although I’m sure it was cleaned. The top floor blinds aren’t blackout which is an issue in the summer when the sun is shining through at 6.30am. It would be a great space for a family to share if this was sorted. Car parking is a bit of a nightmare if your car doesn’t fit in the garage as it is very hard to get parking for more than 2 hours without a permit in Warwick. The little patios and balcony’s are great and are an added bonus to the living space.

We had a great holiday and enjoyed our stay .

The convenience of the house was amazing and there was so much to do without having to use the car. The only downside, which is personal preference, was the seating which I did I not find supportive at all. There was no back to the sofas and only one of the ikea chairs gave any support. This made relaxing in the evening more difficult. If this is not an issue for you then I would definitely recommend Castle View

We had an amazing stay at castle veiw, it was a couple of minutes walk to Warwick Castle.

We were all super happy it was like a home from home, very comfortable and spacious, and we would definitely return

We stayed at Castle View for 3 weeks while our home was being renovated.

We are from Warwick so we know the area etc and continued with work and school life. Castle View provided us with a home from home environment and was perfect for what we needed. Peter (owner) was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. Fantastic location next to the Castle and short walking distance to local amenities, restaurants and pubs. Great property

We absolutely loved this property, it’s in a great location, it’s really well equipped and there is ample space.

Sadly the weather was too cold to use the balconies and the courtyard garden, however, the house was toasty warm inside. Peter, the owner was super helpful, arranging parking permits and providing us with restaurant recommendations. My only minor gripe about the property was the fact that there were no basic supplies like teabags or coffee, we hadn’t brought any with us so ended up using Deliveroo!

Excellent location and liked the quirkiness of the property.

Good instructions from owner on parking and access which were appreciated. There were a few things that let down the stay. The house bathroom is well beyond its time and needs replacing with black mould around the bath and brown edges to the shower curtain. The kitchen was well equipped but crockery and glasses were dirty and needed re washing before use. The dishwasher didn’t wash things properly and needs fixing/ replacing. I would have expected sofas bedding etc to be of higher quality given the price. Towels were very hard and scratchy. All in all needs a bit of money and tlc spending on it but the location was fabulous.

We had excellent communication with the owner.

The house was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely go back. It was very close to all the restaurants and shops and of course the Castle was opposite

Great position, super accommodation for a family reunion.

Love this place!

! Perfect for families and within walking distance to absolutely everything! It's our second time staying there and we will return! our fav place to stay in Warwick! And the owner is wonderful to work with!

Great communication and a great stay - thank you

A lovely property with some interesting features which was very comfortable and perfect for our needs, (6 adults, 2 young children and a new born) Excellent location if visiting Warwick castle.

The house was toasty warm when we walked in.

Very welcoming. The house was equipped with everything you needed. Spacious for six ladies sharing.

Great location for the Castle, wonderful architecture and facilities.

We really enjoyed our stay enough room and facilities for 6 people. Great stuff!

Stunning property located in the heart of Warwick.

Quirky house with parking for 1 vehicle outside in permit area W2 and a small car in the garage. The other 2 vehicles were parked at Sainsbury's as only £14 for the weekend . FRIDAY - SUNDAY. Spotlessly clean and well looked after. Seating in the lounge was a bit wierd as it went round the corner but we pulled some chairs in from the dining room and used those as there were 8 of us. All utensils were available in the kitchen. Tea towels, washing up liquid. Loo rolls.. maybe a couple more bin liners as we decided as the house was so lovely to eat and drink in the evening instead of going out... lots of restaurants on the doorstep and available on uber eats. Highly recommended for something different in a beautiful town. Stratford upon Avon on the doorstep .. perfect weekend retreat wish we had booked Sunday evening to. What would be perfect is a hot tub on one of the balconies... now that would have been something with the view of the castle. Thank you Peter for sharing your lovely house.

A great property that seems to go on forever.

It’s in a brilliant location , two minutes from Warwick town center and over the road from the castle. It’s quirky , bright and was perfect for our family holiday. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely clean and comfortable house in an excellent location, minutes walk from the castle.

All the information provided was really clear. We managed to get our Skoda kamiq into the garage with a few mm so I'd say that's the larger car that would fit. On street parking permit was really useful as we had 2 cars. Would happily stay again

We really enjoyed our stay here.

Thank you

The house was really nice, a bit quirky, in a great position for the castle.

Garage was very convenient. Consevetory was nice to sit in. Was a very comfortable stay. Only downside was a meal in a local Lebonise restaurant, worst place I've been to.

Great property, and Peter (owner was really helpful)

The house was an amazing, individual design and a pleasure to stay in being so well located for the town and able to walk everywhere.

A wonderful stay thank you!

We loved our stay at Castle Veiw.

The house is great and the location couldn't be better. The only slight down side is the shape of the sitting room, as we were only a party of four we could sit together but if there were more people we would have had to move sofas about. I will reccomend this property to my friends, it is great.

We had a great stay at Castle View and Peter, the owner, was really helpful and friendly when we had any contact with him.

Beautiful house in a great location.

We were 2 families with children so had a level each for sleeping/showering which was ideal. The loft was very warm but we were in the middle of a heat wave, so every where was. Fans were provided to make the heat more bearable. Beds very comfortable, plenty of towels & bedding. We didn’t really use the balconies as it was too warm and they could have done with a bit of a sweep. Location ideal. Literally come out of the house, cross the road & your at the entrance for Warwick castle. Ideal base for exploring nearby Stratford up on Avon, Leamington Spa & Hatton Country Park. We were worried about getting our car in the garage but we managed to squeeze it in. (We have a Kia Sportage). Peter (the owner) was very helpful before & during our stay. Would highly recommend this property.

Castle View is a fabulous house in a great location.

The owner was very helpful and responsive to some minor issues we raised. Our only problem was that the house was not well suited to a heatwave and the second floor rooms were particularly affected. At any other time, the house would be perfect.

An unusual property in a very convenient place for Warwick Castle, other attractions, restaurants and station.

Parts of the property were very hot in the summer heat e.g. the 2nd floor and the ground floor "conservatory", but all in all it was a good stay.

Firstly the location of the property was perfect for us, you literally couldn't get any closer to Warwick Castle we even popped back for lunch and coffee.

Central to many National Trust properties and the British Motor Museum, with very short stroll to the towns shops and restaurants. Entry was easy, parking 1 car in garage and 1 on the quiet road outside the front door with the provided permit. The house was light large modern and excellently furnished easily coping with our party of 7. The beds were extremely comfortable and all bedding felt fresh like new. Everything we needed was provided and the property was absolutely perfect for our stay. Many thanks.

A well-positioned and nicely appointed cottage in the centre of Warwick.

The layout of the property suited our party of seven very well. A lot of helpful information received from the owner.

Fantastic location with castle views from the balconies.

A few minutes walk into Warwick centre with lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. Bedroom configuration was fine for 3 couples. First floor has 2 bedrooms 1 with en-suite, 1 with separate bathroom. The top floor is a quirky layout with large super king bed and a 2nd bedroom with a heavy curtain across which has the en-suite so would suit a family upstairs but not 2 separate couples unless you walk through a bedroom or use the family bathroom on the 1st floor. Kitchen not large but seemed well equipped, we only ate in for breakfast so not a problem. Garage fitted our Qashqai in no problem. The owner contacted us a few days before with information which was helpful. In all we had a fabulous stay at Castle view and would return if ever back in Warwick. Thank you

A very impressive property.

Everything worked as expected. Beds are very comfy, plenty of hot water and heating. Very secure. Particularly liked to electronic lock rather than having to use a key.The garage is small as detailed in the holiday listing and we couldn't fit our Qashqai in, although maybe with more juggling we could have. The garage is a wedge shape and therefore narrower than it looks from the outside. Parking outside was never a problem for us though. Very nice view and light from the top floor which would make a lovely living area. The only downside for us was the furniture in the living area which wasn't the quality I expected. The cushions were lumpy and the footstool stained. The owner sent a pre-arrival text message with info which I thought was a nice touch.

A stunning property overlooking Warwick Castle.

Fantastically well equipped and very central.

Very good experience, property is comfortable and spacious.

It is right next to the castle. Garage good for a smallish car, parking for second car available using the provided permit, if a space can be found.

Castle View is a really comfortable and quirky property with great spaces throughout.

We found it to be very well equipped and immaculately clean and cared for. Being located next to the castle, it is centrally located but still quiet. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a really good two days here.

Great location and great property.

The Castle View property is in a wonderful location which is to die for, yet is in a very quiet lane right next to the Castle walls.

It is so close to the lovely Warwick Castle main entrance but remains quiet and uncrowded. It is really convenient for the restaurants and sights of the town centre, such as Lord Leycester Hospital, as well as having really easy to access other places in nearby Stratford, Kenilworth; Leamington Spa, and the countryside. Castle View is a fascinating house with lots of daylight, and an enclosed orangerie with seating and plants. It has a well-preserved ancient stone wall running along the back of the orangerie and living room at ground level. Our party of 5 people had loads of room here, and with 2 other regular family visitors during our week, we had enough space, including outside on the 2 balconies to enjoy the evenings in comfy chairs. We were able to park 1 car in the garage and another right outside, with the free parking ticket included. Ideal for a family get-together, such as we had there. Sykes kept us well-informed throughout, including COVID precaution updates, account due dates, and how to access the site re keys and parking permits.

The cottage is beautiful from the outside, and I can’t fault the location, but the interior was shabby, had peeling paint, very few plugs, awful kitchen, studenty furniture.

We have stayed in other Sykes cottages at a similar price and they have been excellent. Definitely wouldn’t return to this one.

The house at Castle View was great for our needs, a family with four teenage children.

There was plenty of space in the house. We couldn't quite get our car in the garage but there was always on-street parking available near-by. The house was in good condition and came with everything we needed for. It was a short walk into Warwick and an even shorter walk to the Castle. The bedrooms were set-up as we asked for on arrival and everything was clean and tidy. Overall we were very happy with the choice we'd made.

Expensive for what it was there were many problems not enough ovenware, glasses that did not match, fridge that turned so high that it froze the salad.

seating arrangement for watching the small television was appalling. The conservatory leaked when it rained. the 1st floor bedroom the door to the on suite would not close and inside the on suite the radiator was rusty and leaked. The shower to the second bedroom on suite at times would not turn off. The property was very 'tired' badly needing some TLC I have booked many properties through Sykes and this by far was the worse value for money that I have experienced.

A really spacious property, which is modern, comfortable and welcoming.

The property overlooking Warwick Castle was a bonus, and the balconies greatly enhanced this. If we return to Warwick this would be our property of choice.

We loved Castle View, it is a wonderful house in a great location.

If only the weather had allowed us to use the outdoor spaces - we shall have to return!

We have just returned from a long weekend in Castle View.

The house is spectacular with fabulous views of Warwick castle and walking distance to the town centre, Lots of lovely terraces to enjoy the sunshine as well as the orangery to relax in. The kitchen was small but very well equipped. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and sumptuous duvets. Bathrooms were clean with lots of towels for guest use. The owner Peter was very friendly and efficient on text as he was unable to meet us due to Covid restrictions. He mentioned that he usually left a “welcome pack” but for some reason was unable to do that for us. The only negative for me as a female is the lack of dressing tables with mirrors and sockets. It’s a constant criticism even in some hotel rooms and I usually put it down to the fact that it’s been furnished by men!! Just a small table or even a shelf with mirror and socket would be great! Despite that small niggle, We would definitely recommend Castle View as a wonderful place to stay and explore the beautiful area.

The description made it clear that Castle View has an unusual design and this was a key reason for our choice; it looked as though it would generate an interest of its own and it did.

We knew there was no garden but we found the outdoor space larger than anticipated. We found all the fixtures, fittings, linen & towels etc to be immaculately clean and there was ample provision of cooking equipment, crockery and cutlery. Electrical items all seemed to work in accordance with the instructions. Prior to our holiday, it was clear that Peter wished us to enjoy our time in the house and he proved very helpful and understanding on the couple of occasions that we checked details with him by telephone. We enjoyed exploring the town of Warwick and found good places to enjoy a drink in the open air or to take home a takeaway meal. The garage was large enough for the Ford C-Max but too short for the Mercedes C-Class estate but there was always street space nearby to use the permit. We have come away with happy memories of a very special place for a family gathering.

What an amazing location and venue!

! This property is really stunning - we enjoyed lovely weather on our visit, and whilst it was a bit chilly, we still made use of the balcony. Our host - Peter, was exceptional, met us on arrival to show us around the property and explain things like the heating controls, upstairs lighting and parking. He has also very helpfully made contact with me in advance to advise on parking. We used the garage - which is small but fit one vehicle as promised, we used the permit just outside the property and manged to get parking in the pay and display very close by - it was sensibly priced with the whole weekend Fri-Mon costing around £15/16 This was in March. The house has any utensil and baking tray you need, and there was a lovely cake and some basics for us to enjoy on our arrival. We knew that the property was near to the castle, but we seriously underestimated how close! Brilliantly placed for the town too with plentiful options right on the doorstep. The town itself really caters for tourists too, the local Indian restaurant provided us with menus so that we could browse at our leisure ahead of our evening booking - and it was super tasty, although I've completely forgotten the name of it! Also, the tea shop just around the corner is very cosy and comfortable.

Very comfortable property which suited my family - 7 adults and one child under 3 years - very well.

The owner contacted me prior to our stay to see if we wanted one of the beds separated into two singles, however, we decided to take a small bed for my young grandson. I had been a bit uncertain of the curtained and screened bedrooms, with regard to privacy, but they were well separated so privacy was not an issue. The property is in an excellent location, right outside Warwick Castle and walking distance of the town itself. Stratford upon Avon and several National Trust properties are nearby, so plenty to do. The owner met us on arrival and showed us round which was helpful. Two balconies would I am sure be well used in warmer weather.

Great property, great location, great time was had by all !

Many thanks

Central location only minutes walk from the castle and shops.

Would be lovely in the summer up on the patio. Plenty of room, quirky design and loved the welcome pack which was unexpected. Owner contacted us before arrival and met the first of our party to show her round. Loved the fact that he also messaged after the break to thank us for leaving the place so tidy and to send a message to my poorly pooch from his dogs!

Even before we arrived the proprietor was in touch with us and was able to answer a few questions (eg which rooms would accommodate travel cots and had en suite bathrooms) He met us at the property and explained everything about it that we needed to know.

There were thoughtful touches too, a Christmas Tree, basic supplies and toiletries. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking a belated Christmas lunch. We were concerned that there might be a problem parking as we were four separate family units all with quite big cars but before we booked the booking agent researched nearby parking availability for us. We were able to park outside without a problem. This is a warm, welcoming and quirky house and ideal for a family gathering.

Perfect house, perfect location.

Such a unique beautiful house. We had a lovely weekend. Walking distance to lovely restaurants. I would highly recommend this house and would be keen to stay there again. Nothing was too much trouble.

We are a group of four friends who get together once a year for laughter, tears, reminiscing, good food and a chance to catch up.

We have used Sykes many times and this year was no exception. We all like our own bedroom which this house gave, the facilities were exceptional with a great welcome hamper. Peter the owner was very accommodating and met us on arrival for a full tour and he was on call if needed throughout the three night stay. All of us agreed we would go back to visit again as the terrible rain on the Saturday didn’t allow us to appreciate Warwick. Our only issue with the property was the bedroom at the top of the house has very thin blinds which didn’t stop the morning sun shining through (which wouldn’t be a problem if we hadn’t gone to bed late!), eye masks would solve this quickly. Parking was close for two of our cars but only one car could park on site. Don’t hesitate to book this house as you really enjoy it.

The holiday home is very comfortable.

I wish the weather was better (it rained all weekend) so we could enjoy the balcony. It is a great looking house. Very clean and comfortable.

The welcome was great as the owner met us and showed us the home and pointed out how a few things worked.

He left us a lovely welcome pack of provisions which was wonderful! The beds were very comfortable and they had even made up the beds to match our party i.e. 4 kids and 4 adults therefore 4 single beds and 2 double beds! The proximity to the entrance to Warwick castle and the local high street was great, literally just 2 mins away. It was wonderful for a relaxing 2 family break with enough space to easily accommodate us all, the table was big enough for us all to sit and eat together and with a lounge that allowed us to play games together in the evening. I would highly recommend this and the outdoor spaces I imagine would be fantastic in the good weather, it was chilly and rainy when we were there, but the house was cosy and warm.

Beautiful house with possibly the best equipped kitchen In a self-catering property I’ve ever stayed in.

Some provisions were left for us too which was a nice touch (tea, coffee, bread, milk, eggs). The house is really clean. It’s right on the doorstep of the castle (literally a 1 minute walk) and very close to the town centre. The house is beautifully decorated and the photos on the website are accurate although the house feels much more spacious. We took a toddler, while it was all ok and there was plenty of room, the stairs are quite steep. We should have taken stair gates for peace of mind. We also needed to take our own high chair and travel cot. The parking was also fine- a medium sized car in the garage and space on the road outside. We had to park a few metres down the road initially but Peter the owner very kindly helped us unload (we were juggling a grumpy toddler and a 5year old). There aren’t many houses that sleep 8 in the area and we were very lucky that this was such a gem. I would highly recommend it.

This is a truly great holiday rental.

It has everything any group could possibly need, is spotless and spacious. The beds are comfortable and the showers are excellent. The highlight is the first floor outdoor decking area, a gorgeous sun-trap that easily accommodated our party of 6 for a relaxed lunch. When the sun disappeared from here, we moved to the second floor to catch more sunshine on the second floor balcony....really lovely. Peter could not have been more welcoming...quickly showed us round and pointed out key features and little details we might not have worked out for ourselves. Parking available in the garage and an additional car outside with a parking permit. Perfect weekend venue, easily the best accommodation we have stayed in for past 15 years of this kind of break.

Castle View was a beautiful place to come and stay and explore Warwick.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful house.The hosts were more than helpful meeting us on arrival and informing us about the house and the local surroundings. The house was beautifully clean, quiet and set up for us to really enjoy our weekend stay right in the middle of Warwick. The house is a lovely mix of old and new and the view is really spectacular of the castle towers from the balconies as the property is literally opposite the entrance to the castle. It really was an ideal place to stay as we were visiting Warwick castle. Warwick town was lovely to wander around- great market on Saturday and lovely old tea rooms- there is lots to see. We would highly recommend Castle View as a lovely and comfortable place to stay in Warwick.

The house is modern spacious comfortable homely clean and in a very good location, with all necessary commodities!

Castle View was an absolute treat and Peter (owner) exceeded our expectations with all the extras he provided during our stay - especially as our booking was only made the day before our arrival!

On arrival Peter met us to show us around the property and left us an extensive list of how everything worked and told us about the local area. The house itself was spacious and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The location is right opposite Warwick Castle and a minutes walk into the town with plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs. We travelled into Birmingham one evening which was a short 30 minute train journey from Warwick Parkway station. It’s also only a 10 minute taxi to Leamington Spa which also offers more shops, bars and restaurants. Thank you so much for a great stay.
