“Everything as described or actually even better!”

Really comfotable little cottage with extra personal touches (prosecco, flowers, firewood for the stove to use for free!) We accidentally left our Kindle at the property and Sally has it winging its way back to us... (thank you Sally) Really lovely place, bed super comfortable, heated towel rail in bathroom had our swim stuff dry off in no time, comfortable sofa and SmartTV, Kitchen facilities perfect for home cooking any type of meal and had all the little extras that are so annoying to buy ...

(thank you Sally) Really lovely place, bed super comfortable, heated towel rail in bathroom had our swim stuff dry off in no time, comfortable sofa and SmartTV, Kitchen facilities perfect for home cooking any type of meal and had all the little extras that are so annoying to buy (Oil, salt, pepper, washing up liquid etc) Great location for canal walks and pubs. Hot tub was perfect to unwind with a glass of wine in the evening, and outdoor table and chairs for evening meals. Thank you for a lovely weekend stay!

Kevin July 2025

“We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Kingswood, a delightful little cottage, very tastefully decorated with quality fixtures and fittings, which made for a very comfortable stay.”

We booked Kingswood for its proximity to the NEC, although the local area is so nice with such an abundance of great walks, we will defintiley book again. Big thanks to the owners for providing such a lovely dog friendly property!

“Beautifully appointed cottage.”

All fittings were first class especially the shower room which was stunning. Perfect HotTub with cover ideal for relaxing with a drink at the end of the afternoon. Very accommodating hosts who were quick to address a few issues.

- Jeremy, June 2025

Hi, thank you for your understanding regarding the issues. So pleased you enjoyed your stay & the Hottub. Property Owner
Louisa June 2025

“Lovely cottage with beautiful decor.”

Everything is spotlessly clean and really well equipped. The bed is so comfy and cosy. The garden is well secure for dogs which was a relief for us as our beagle is like Houdini! The hot tub was lovely and really relaxing. The local area is gorgeous. 3 pubs within walking distance and all really nice. Due to the week of the heatwave the shaded walk along the canal was welcomed. Stratford is a must and the river cruise was great. The Cotswolds with all its picturesque villages are all within a short drive. Thank you to the owners for their welcome pack and the use of their gorgeous cottage. Only one suggestion would be a parasol for the garden, especially with the patio area being in full sun all day, which would ordinarily be a good thing but the 30degrees we had, it would have been welcomed

- Louisa, June 2025

Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased Houdini didn’t escape. We have made sure it is very secure. Warm regards Sally Property Owner

“The cottage was spacious well presented, with everything you needed.”

Beautiful bedroom with lovely comfortable bed and a spacious modern bathroom. Nice big enclosed garden that was perfect for our dog, lovely area for outside dining and a bonus of a covered hot tub made this holiday very special.

- Paul, May 2025

Thank you for you lovey review. We’re so please you enjoyed the cottage and had a special holiday. Property Owner

Isabel May 2025

“Tastefully decorated cottage near a local pub which serves lovely food and with a small shop close by too.”

The hot tub in the garden is an added bonus. It’s in an ideal spot for walks along the canal and also visiting local towns a little farther afield. The whole area is very dog friendly. If you want a quiet holiday but also a place from which to explore the surrounding area it’s ideal.

- Isabel, May 2025

“Beautiful decor, great facilities, especially hot tub, shower, prosecco on arrival!”

Sophie February 2025

“This cottage is perfect for a couple and a dog, ideal location, not far from Stratford, a few great pubs near by (the Boot was by far out favourite, make sure you book!”

) Our dog, River, loved walking by the canal and was exhausted every night We will definitely be back when the weather is nicer!

- Sophie, February 2025
Emily February 2025

“The property was amazing, really good location and the attention to detail was great.”

We had an incredible stay and the cottage is exactly as per the photos. One thing to note was that there was no tea or coffee, and there were no coffee pods for the coffee machine. Not sure if the guests before us had used the last of them, or if they were just forgotten to be topped up. Everything else was immaculate.

- Emily, February 2025

Hi, thank you for your lovely positive feedback. We have tried to think of everything. My apologies that the coffee pods or tea had not been replenished. I will look into this and make sure it doesn’t happen again. Property Owner
Jessica February 2025

“A beautiful character cottage which has been modernised to a high standard with welcoming, dog-friendly country pubs and canal walks from the doorstep.”

We enjoyed fantastic food & atmosphere at the local, The Boot Inn. A memorable bike ride with our bulldog in tow to Tom o the Woods & The Navigation Inn, who kindly borrowed us matches to light the log fire on our first night. We wish we could have stayed longer, with so much more to explore at nearby Stratford upon avon, Leamington Spa & NT properties. The cottage was well equipped & extremely comfortable. Hot tub & log burning fire made for a very relaxing stay on a drizzly Saturday. The spa robes, fizz, flowers and welcome card were a lovely personal touch. Thank you! We highly recommended Kingswood Cottage and will sure to be back.

- Jessica, February 2025

Paul September 2024

“A lovely warm and clean holiday cottage, sadly lacking a microwave oven.”

The hot tub appeared to need frequent maintenance visits from the owners during our stay, one such visit occurring before 9.00am accompanied by loud knocking on the door. This was on one of our holiday days not a changeover day. A little local information would have been appreciated.

- Paul, September 2024

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We have now purchased a microwave. We have to check the hot tub to ensure the chemicals are correct to keep the hot tub clean & bacteria free. This needs to be done more than once a week. I’m sorry you were disturbed during your holiday. We are never sure to knock or quietly nipped round to sort hot tub. I think I need to speak to Sykes to find the best solution. I did send you a link to our website which gives you lots of local information before your arrival to help with your stay. Many thanks Property Owner
Jean September 2024

“Probably the nicest cottage we've ever stayed in.”

Lovely welcome from Sally and Mike, couldn't have wished for better

Sarah September 2024

“Beautiful cottage in such a lovely location.”

The cottage was spotless and stunning and everything you needed was provided. Hot tub was a great addition after long walks.

Nicholas August 2024

“1 Kingswood Cottage was a lovely place to call home for a short stay.”

We have family nearby so it was a great place to link up and connect with them. The walks along the canal were nice and the local pubs were warm and inviting. Sally & Mike made us feel very welcome, whilst we never met them in person, we connected and understood that they cared about us having a lovely experience. It is the little things that matter. A nice greeting card & Prosceco on Ice welcoming us, the M&S cutlery, the hot tub and the quality of an obvious recent renovation that has been carefully and accurately executed. We sadly did not stay the full term as I was not very well, but may well stay there again in the future. So thank you!

- Nicholas, August 2024
Diane August 2024

“Newly renovated.”

Everything thing that you would expect in a holiday cottage. The garden was secure for our dog. Ample off road car parking. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Fresh flowers and a bottle of Prosecco we’re waiting for us. Lots of nice walks along the canals. Three pubs within walking distance. One of the pubs called the Boot has a very good restaurant. The railway station is 15 minutes steady walk away and is very convenient for lots of places; Stratford on Avon, Lemington Spa and Warwick to name just a few ! The Village shop came in useful, less than 5 minutes walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I’m sure we will be back!

- Diane, August 2024

Hi, lovely to meet you both. Thank you for your kind comments. We look forward to you & little Rex returning. Warm regards Sally & Mike Property Owner
Gillian August 2024

“Had to leave early as my dog got fleas and me and my granddaughter was bites.”

My dog had been groomed before we went and I've asked the groomer and he defently didn't have them before we was there, and we didn't take him in long grass.

- Gillian, August 2024
Mark July 2024

“Absolutely fantastic cottage which the owners should be proud of.”

We can't think of anything more the owners could of done to make our holiday any better. Beautiful location and 3 cracking country pubs within walking distance. The hot tub was an added bonus to enjoy. Warwickshire is a great part of the country to visit and we'll definitely be back.

- Mark, July 2024

Hi Mark, Thank you for your kind review. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back soon. Property Owner
Susan July 2024

“Just had a wonderful week at 1 Kingswood Cottage.”

The cottage has been refurbished to the highest level of quality. Everything has been well thought out and every detail taken care of. So close to the canals and pubs all with lovely walks. We ate at the Tom O The Wood pub which was lovely. To top it all off the hot tub was perfect for relaxing in at the end of your day. Well done Sally and Mike, it’s a credit to you both. Neil, Susan ( Maggie and Brian )

- Susan, July 2024

Hi Neil & Susan, Thank you so much for your lovely comments. So glad you loved the cottage. Please come back soon & don’t forget to bring Maggie & Brian Property Owner

Michael May 2024

“Everything from the start to finish of our break was perfect.”

The house was spotless and everything was thought out by the owners to ensure our stay was comftable and relaxing. The hot tub was well situated with an amazing gazibo, so we could use it even in the rain. The garden was enclosed without anyways for our dogs to get out, which made our break alot more relaxing. The house had some amazing features and was so well decorated. We are looking forward to another visit. We will be back and we can't wait.

- Michael, May 2024

About the location

LAPWORTH

Warwick & Royal Leamington Spa 5 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 10 miles.

Lapworth village lies in the Birmingham green belt, on the junction of the Stratford-upon-Avon and Grand Union Canals, which offer many lovely walks. The Millennium Way, Heart of England Way, Centenary Way and Grand Union Canal Walk are also all close by so walking enthusiasts are certainly catered for! There are two National Trust properties close to Lapworth; Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House, with Wroxall Abbey, another fine house and the country seat of Sir Christopher Wren also close by. Lapworth village is strongly associated with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, as the leader of the plotters, Robert Catesby, was born and lived here, and his tomb is in Lapworth Church. Now, Lapworth is a popular area for cuisine and has many 'gastro-pubs', including The Boot, The Navigation and the Fleur-de-Lys. Lapworth is just five miles from Warwick, with its imposing castle, and from the beautiful town of Royal Leamington Spa. The medieval town of Stratford-upon-Avon is also close by, and has an abundance of amenities and attractions, including the houses of William Shakespeare, museums and theatre. The perfect holiday destination at any time of year.

Please note; The owners of this property will visit very briefly during your stay to check the hot tub regulations.
