Gudrun September 2023

“25 Shakespeare Street was the ideal house for our 2-week-stay.”

It is comfortable, clean and very well equipped and is very quiet, although very close to the town centre (5 minutes really). Our host was very helpful, thank you very much! We couldn´s have found a better place.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at No25 Shakespeare Street and many thanks for the great feedback. Property Owner

Kathleen September 2023

“A very nice property and well maintained.”

I think we were not expecting Stratford upon Avon to be so busy with traffic. You have to negotiate some busy roads to get around. Our own problem obviously.

- Kathleen, September 2023

Thanks for your feedback - Stratford upon Avon is a year round destination and the volume of traffic can be challenging. Property Owner

Very well equipped and very clean in a quiet corner of Stratford a short walk from the centre. The courtyard caught the sun, when it appeared , making a lovely place to sit and relax.

George April 2023

“We had a wonderful time staying in this excellent cottage, thank you!”

Pristine cleanliness, everything you could want or need. Super comfortable beds, excellent shower. Fully equipped kitchen too!! The only comment we would make is, at our ages late 60’s, the couches were rather low for us, but fully appreciate they would be perfectly ok for others. Thank you too for the delicious welcome goodies, so lovely of you, especially enjoyed starting our holiday with the delicious bottle of Pinot

- George, April 2023

Many thanks for your great feedback it is very much appreciated. Property Owner
John March 2023

“Apart from the iffy tap in the shower cubicle, which is remarkably fiddly, and the clock stopped in the lounge, i absolutely loved it and will be booking regularly.”

Best wishes John Griffin

- John, March 2023

John - Many thanks for this constructive feedback - replacement battery for clock and shower tap now on the top of our maintenance job list. We look forward to seeing you at No25 again in the future. Property Owner

Rhian November 2022

“This was our third holiday in this lovely cottage.”

The owners always go out of their way to make everything comfortable, and are extremely generous with their goodies! The cottage is only a stone's throw away from the centre of Stratford, with everything you need is easily within walking distance. Just perfect! Thank you, Alan and Moira, once again.

Great to see you back at No25. Thank you for your excellent feedback its is really appreciated. Property Owner

“Excellent cottage can’t fault it”

- Simon and elaine, September 2022

Many thanks for your great feedback it is very much appreciated. Property Owner
Karen September 2022

“Low rating only because of parking issues.”

The permit does not guarantee a nearby parking space. Had to resort to using premier inn parking from Sunday to Wednesday at £6 per day. The parking situation should be clearly stated in facilities for the cottage. I will not use this cottage again.

- Karen, September 2022

We are really sorry that you had these parking issues. No 25 has been a holiday cottage for over 4 years and this is the first time a guest has had such difficulties with parking. The email and the attached Information Pack that we issued prior to your visit made it very clear that the parking permit is valid for a number of streets in the neighbourhood on a first come first served basis. It is very rare that a parking space can not be found in the parking permit area. We provide our contact details and encourage all guests to contact us in the event of any issues arising. Had you made contact we would have made every effort to assist as we have done on many occasions as detailed in other feedback. We thank you for acknowledging the high levels of cleanliness comfort and facilities at No 25. Property Owner
David September 2022

“The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.”

The kitchen was well equipped with a really nice welcome pack of goodies. We also enjoyed the outside space to sit with a glass of wine after a busy day sightseeing. Shakespeare St is a great location as everything was in easy walking distance.

- David, September 2022

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at No25 and many thanks for the positive feedback. Property Owner
Anne August 2022

“We had a fantastic couple of days.”

The cottage is in an excellent location, really close to the heart of Stratford and a beautifully presented property. Would happily live there forever!

- Anne, August 2022

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your very positive feedback which is very much appreciated. Property Owner
Ayca August 2022

“The property is a very short walk to town center and all the attractions and restaurants/shops.”

Booking through the website was easy and owner of the property is very helpful and responsive. He sent all information in advance and when we arrived the cottage was spotlessly cleaned. Any questions I emailed to owner direct, received a response swiftly so I would strongly recommend this cottage. Even though in town centre, still very quite at night so no sleep was disturbed.

- Ayca, August 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at No25 Shakespeare Street. Property Owner
John July 2022

“We made a last minute booking and it worked out perfectly with everything ready for our arrival.”

Neat and tidy cottage, with spacious kitchen and outside seating area. On street parking ( permit provided) was always available even in late July when the town was full of visitors. The short walk to town with all it had to offer could be made in minutes. Nice little grocery store around the corner for bread and drinks.

- John, July 2022

So glad that you enjoyed your last minute stay at No25 and thank you for your great feedback. Property Owner

Thank you for your kind comments and positive feedback. We look forward to your return visit. Property Owner
Sandra February 2022

“This cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable.”

It was exceptionally well equipped and met all our needs. Our only observation was when people outside passed the lounge window they did tend to glance inside, a net curtain would provide privacy and a little security. Also a little rug in the lounge area would be nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, our host provided us with ample provisions on arrival which was very much appreciated and we do thank them.

- Sandra, February 2022

Thank you for your excellent feedback and your constructive comments regarding the window coverings which we intend to address as soon as possible. We look forward to your return visit. Property Owner
Paula February 2022

“The cottage was 5*.”

All round perfect and excellent value for money. Perfect location; no parking worries as cottage comes with one car parking space. The cottage is very well maintained, very clean and modern, plus has everything you could possibly need if you decide to stay in and do some home cooking! The icing on the cake is the super welcome pack that was definitely above and beyond the normal 'starter' welcome pack. Alan and Moira are very helpful too. We have previously stayed in 2 Skyes properties over the past 18 months; 25 Shakespeare Road is by far the best one. We cant wait to rebook !

- Paula, February 2022

Thank you so much for this great feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes Alan & Moira Property Owner

Katie December 2021

“Host Alan was really helpful with thoughtful communication in advance, including sending us the welcome park electronically (due to covid) and called to ensure parking was as easy as possible.”

It was one of the most thought through properties we've stayed in, very practical and had everything you could need and tasty food/milk provided. The property is a maximum of 5 minutes walk from the centre of town. It was a lovely place to stay and we highly recommend it.

- Katie, December 2021

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in the cottage, thank you for your kind feedback, best wishes Alan & Moira Property Owner

Adrian October 2021

“A fabulous well equipped cottage.”

Very close to the town centre. Very clean, beautifully decorated with comfortable beds a very generous welcome pack. The owner rang us to inform us of the road closure due to a local event. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

- Adrian, October 2021
Mike October 2021

“Great location.”

Quiet but very accessible for pubs, restaurants and the town. Thought that parking may be an issue but trouble free. Very well equipped cottage. Great base for the plentiful National Trust properties - Coughton Court, Charlecote, Hidcote in particular. Easy access to railway station - trip to Oxford. Thank you. Very happy to recommend on all counts.

- Mike, October 2021
Christopher October 2021

“A great stay in this lovely, very well maintained house.”

Perfectly located only a few minutes walk from the town centre. We have stayed in many homes over the years and this one was spot on and to a very high standard. We would certainly return again and highly recommend. The owners were extremely friendly, efficient and helpful.

- Christopher, October 2021
Roger September 2021

“We had the absolute best time on our weeks stay at this lovely house.”

We could not have asked for more, every little detail you could think of, it was there. Kitchen fully equipped, bedrooms lovely as was the bathroom, great powerful shower. The garden is great for a chill in the sun with the beverage of your choice. Thank you so much for the welcome pack too, beautiful flowers and all the lovely treats, everything you need upon arrival with the added luxuries. Literally a 10 mins tops walk to the centre to so many amenities and lovely shops, pubs restaurants etc.. We would happily rebook in the future, thank you so much again.

- Roger, September 2021
Andrew September 2021

“The house was lovely and the location was fantastic but our stay was spoilt by a very uncomfortable bed.”

You can actually feel the springs through the matress. A couple of nights into our stay we turned the matress over and the other side was less lumpy. A new matress is definitely required though!

- Andrew, September 2021
Susan August 2021

“Fabulous holiday home!”

Communicative hosts who were very helpful throughout our stay. The house was wonderfully clean and comfortable, and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well-stocked and the welcome gifts were such a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. The garden was also lovely (I only wish the weather had been a little nicer so we could have used more!) and we enjoyed reading in the living room. Couldn't have asked for a nicer stay!

- Susan, August 2021
Janet July 2021

“The cottage was amazing.”

Comfortable and well equipped - everything you could want (and more!). In a perfect place close to the centre of town. On arrival there were added extras waiting for us which was a really nice touch! No problem with parking as we only moved the car once during our stay. Don`t hesitate if you`re looking for a great place to stay.

- Janet, July 2021
Colin July 2021

“The cottage at above was very clean.”

the welcome pack supplied by our hosts was very generous including wine and fresh flowers. it really showed that they have pride in their little home from home. thanks

- Colin, July 2021
Mary July 2021

“The cottage is lovely and located conveniently for walking to the town centre and riverside area.”

It is nicely furnished and well equipped and the outside seating area is lovely when sunny.

- Mary, July 2021

House lovely and clean and perfect for ourselves and our young son. Nice welcome pack left by owners as well. Thoroughly enjoyed holiday.

- Gary, October 2020
Sharon September 2020

“Lovely clean modern cottage , there was nothing that the owners hadn’t thought about ,literally a five minute walk into town and river walks and shopping outlets just up the road .”

Excellent location and very comfortable home ,nothing to complain about ,a credit to Sykes cottages ,would certainly recommend to family and friends.

- Sharon, September 2020
Brenda September 2020

“The owner was very helpful also left a food supply which we did not expect saved us good shopping as soon as we arrived .”

I highly recommend it so close to the centre yet quite .

- Brenda, September 2020
Shirley August 2020

“The cottage was so clean & bright.”

A real 'home from home'. Everything we needed was there along with some nice little extras which were a very pleasant surprise. The area is very quiet being so near the centre & is an ideal location for everything. We always enjoy our visits to Stratford-upon-Avon & we had a perfect week's stay in this lovely cottage. Would definitely recommend.

- Shirley, August 2020

“Alan our host was most helpful we received fruit milk and wine on arriva eggsg”

- Joseph, August 2020
Catherine July 2020

“We had a wonderful time at 25 Shakespeare St.”

The cottage was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Alan and Moira had provided some essentials such as bread and tea bags, also luxury extras such as wine and chocolate. There were games and books for us to use and my children especially loved playing Bananagrams. The location is excellent with just a short walk to Stratford town centre and Waterside, allowing easy access to Shakespeare's birthplace, boat trips, shops and restaurants. There is no off road parking but a parking permit is provided. Alan communicated well beforehand to ensure that we understood how to use it. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property.

- Catherine, July 2020
Gary July 2020

“What a fantastic holiday house this is!”

It’s so central, which makes it really easy to get around. The house itself is so well equipped, the bedding is good quality and it’s spotlessly clean. There were loads of wee extras when we arrived including wine, chocolate and milk and communication from the property owner Alan regarding parking was really helpful too. All in all it was everything you could want in a holiday home, perfect.

- Gary, July 2020
Rhian January 2020

“A beautiful cottage just a stone's throw away from Shakespeare's Birthplace.”

- Rhian, January 2020
Elisabeth December 2019

“Our second Christmas in this beautiful cottage.”

Very comfortable and close to local amenities only needed to use the car twice. Owners go above & beyond with provisions, decorations and even a present under the tree.

- Elisabeth, December 2019
Rhian November 2019

“A perfect cottage!”

Warm, comfortable, only a short walk to the centre of town .. The owners were extremely generous with their unexpected goodies and all the facilities were excellent. In fact, it was so perfect that we have booked to stay there again in 5 weeks' time. Need we say any more! Thank you for everything.

- Rhian, November 2019
Lucy October 2019

“Beautifully clean cottage really close to Stratford Upon Avon town centre, railway station, shops and attractions.”

The owners had left a wonderful welcome package of food and drinks for us that we enjoyed during our stay. The kitchen was very well equipped with coffee making and cooking facilities, plentiful crockery and dishwasher. The heating was easy to control. The parking permit enabled us to park close-by when spaces were available (we found a space within 150m each time we needed one). Our eldest was glad of the good quality Wi-Fi and our youngest enjoyed playing one of the board games (it has been added to the Christmas list!) 25 Shakespeare Street was the ideal base for visiting the children's Grandma. We spent 2 days doing odd jobs and gardening for her, so were glad of this peaceful & comfortable cottage to return to in the evenings. We also enjoyed a visit to Stratford M.A.D. museum (Mechanical Art & Design), Cadbury World in Bournville (by train), and some geocaching around the town. Thank you.

- Lucy, October 2019
Ruth October 2019

“On arrival we were greeted with a more than generous welcome pack, giving us the basics that we needed plus more.”

The house was very well equipped and very clean and comfortable and was within walking distance of the town and many attractions. We would be more than happy to return in the future.

- Ruth, October 2019
Debbie September 2019

- Ian, August 2019
Chris May 2019

“We enjoyed our stay at 25 Shakespeare Street It really was an enjoyable treat The place was sparkling and neat It definitely could not be beat We found it easy to rest our feet!”

- Chris, May 2019
Teresa April 2019

“Only issue is the parking but this is to be expected so close to the centre and the owner very kindly called before we left to explain how the parking permit worked.”

- Teresa, April 2019
Julie April 2019

“We had a very comfortable stay at this beautiful cottage.”

Everything that could be done to make our stay as comfortable as possible was done. The cottage is lovely and clean and bright and exceptionally well decorated. The welcome package of the essentials and goodies was a lovely touch. My family and I will return again when we are next in the area.

- Julie, April 2019
Alison December 2018

“The cottage is gorgeous.”

The Christmas decorations were such a welcoming sight when we arrived, as were the fresh flowers and provisions to get us going. It was warm, cosy and very well-equipped, but most importantly, it was fantastically clean. We loved being able to walk into the town and it was completely peaceful despite being so close. The owners have worked hard to make it a lovely home from home.

- Alison, December 2018
Pam November 2018

“A lovely place to stay.”

Very convenient location in easy walking distance to all the local shops and attractions.

- Pam, November 2018
Lindsay October 2018

“This little house is perfectly situated within easy walking distance of the town centre.”

On arrival we immediately felt welcome because of the thoughtful touches the owners had made prior to our arrival. After a particularly horrendous journey they were all the more appreciated. The kitchen is very well stocked, and the entire house was beautifully clean. I had some contact with the owners prior to our stay, and they were very friendly and helpful. As I have fibromyalgia I did find the bed a little too hard for me, but my daughters slept well so this is probably unique to me. All in all it was a wonderful stay. Be very careful with the parking though - despite the instructions I still managed to get landed with a parking ticket on the first night. We are looking forward to booking again in the future. 25 Shakespeare Street now feels like a "home from home".

- Lindsay, October 2018
Geoff October 2018

“Alan and Moira were excellent and concerned hosts.”

They were easy to get on with and friendly. The house is very close to shops, pubs, restaurants and places of interest even for us in our upper 80`s. Regarding that, parking is difficult. If you take the car to visit other areas you are not certain to get a parking place easily on your return and may have to check adjoining streets despite having a parking permit. We left the car parked , used the hop- on-hop-off bus or walked the short distance to the town centre. We had a very pleasant and relaxing time.

- Geoff, October 2018
Karen October 2018

“Great location,lovely cottage,imaculate a real home from home every ammenity that we needed with thoughtful extra touches,fresh flowers,food basics,bottle of wineand more.”

Alan and Moira have done a great job!would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting stratford.

- Karen, October 2018
Ann September 2018

“Excellent cottage very near to town centre.”

- Ann, September 2018
Geraldine September 2018

“Stratford easy to get around from this property used buses to get around to Warwick other places.”

Only used car to come home because owners supply parking permit which worth it parking not easy but walk into town centre only 5 minutes great.

- Geraldine, September 2018
David August 2018

“The accommodation at 25 Shakespeare Street was excellent, in a perfect location and offering everything you need to enjoy your break.”

Everything was of good quality and it was obvious Alan and his family take a real pride in the property. When we return to Stratford we will have no hesitation in booking again.

- David, August 2018
Juliet August 2018

“Lovely place for a holiday!”

- Juliet, August 2018
Eosu July 2018

“Great, lovely place.”

Peaceful and calm village but walk distance to all the famous venues in Stratford-upon-Avon. If you visit there as a 3-4 membered family, definitely here!

- Eosu, July 2018
Huib June 2018

“As first guests we enjoyed this beautiful modernized house.”

Everything brandnew and equipped with good taste. Lots of marks of attention. And that all a few hundred yards from the center of the city. Perfect!
