Wigrams Canalside Cottage is a single-storey, semi-detached holiday property attached to the owner's home, occupying an idyllic setting next to the canal, in a quiet corner of Warwickshire.

Unwind in the open-plan living room and truly make the most of your evening, with cosy nights before the fire and romantic dinners cooked up in the well-appointed kitchen.

There is a lovely breakfast bar for reading the morning newspaper and every inch of the space has been thoughtfully presented to make you feel right at home.

There is a beautifully presented king-size double bedroom, which is zip/and link offering flexible sleeping arrangements, while the shower room boasts a large walk-in shower and plenty of space to get ready.

Enjoy a morning coffee in bed and watch the canal boats chugging past the window, carrying other holiday makers enjoying their time on the water.

Watch and feed the local waterfowl and free roaming hens, and later sit and watch the sunset, with an evening drink, and only the fence between you and the canal-boats.

Or at night sit gazing at the stars and benefiting from the crystal clear skies due to no light pollution.

If you are planning a group or family gathering please note there is a campsite alongside the cottage and a guest house in the adjacent property catering for up to three couples.As the cottage is immediately alongside the canal if any of your party have a boat, they may wish to moor alongside with a gate straight off the canal towpath.Or should your friends or family wish to hire a boat from one of the hire fleets within a mile radius, they can bring it to the cottage.The owners are happy to assist in moving the boat should you wish.
