“This is an immaculately clean and well-presented property, thoughtfully designed to maximise the space, with tasteful and restful decor, very comfy beds and in such a good location for walking into the town and to the theatre.”

Staying during a very hot spell, we particularly appreciated the little ouside courtyard with table and chairs and the big fan! Electronic car parking permit was arranged by the owners for the duration of our stay and we had no trouble finding a space in the street. Many thanks for the welcome items! Stratford upon Avon is a very attractive town with plenty to see and do. All the Shakespeare houses are definitely worth visiting, and we saw a fantastic play at the RSC Swan Theatre. Visited ...

Stratford upon Avon is a very attractive town with plenty to see and do. All the Shakespeare houses are definitely worth visiting, and we saw a fantastic play at the RSC Swan Theatre. Visited Coventry Cathedral, Warwick and National Trust Hidcote Gardens, all only a short drive away. All in all, a great stay at Midsummer Cottage!

Jacqueline May 2025

“We had a lovely stay at Midsummer Cottage in between a house move, and it was a cosy home from home with everything we needed.”

The location was perfect - in the centre of town so there were lots of amenities within walking distance, and having parking included was a real bonus. The owner was professional and helpful, and we would highly recommend this property for a welcoming stay in Stratford upon Avon.

“The cottage was well positioned for Stratford town centre.”

It was well equipped and we found the car parking very helpful. The welcome goodies were enjoyed. Thank you. Altogether a good stay, and I would recommend it.

Carole September 2024

“Midsummer Cottage is in a great location, it’s so close to the centre of town, it’s a few minutes’ walk to the river, the RSC and there’s lots of bars and restaurants close by.”

Alan, our host, was excellent, he organised the parking permit for us and his communication was great. The cottage itself is very comfortable, it has everything we needed for a weekend break. We’d highly recommend it.

- Carole, September 2024

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. Property Owner
Beryl September 2024

“Lovely cottage, close to everything and was very well equipped.”

Just ensure the owner has your car registration number to register for the parking permit if you need one. Owners very helpful. Highly recommended and excellent value.

We really appreciate your feedback, so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Mark July 2024

“There was ample space for three adults.”

The amenities were nice, and we appreciate and enjoy that the owners left for us as guests. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we were able to prepare several meals for dine-in. The location in Stratford-Upon-Avon is top notch. A short walk of a couple blocks took us in the city centre or train station. We did not regret being car-less. There is a mustiness in the downstairs family room, so allergy sufferers should be prepared. (I wore a mask). It was warm that week without fans, and traffic and neighbor noise during the evenings can be distracting. Overall, though, most tourists will enjoy their experience here, and we recommend this property with just a few cautions.

- Mark, July 2024

Many thanks for your feedback. Midsummer Cottage is a mid 1800's terrace in the middle of town. A level of traffic and neighbourhood noise is to be expected but we are sorry that you found this distracting. We do provide a floor standing fan and it is quite safe to open windows and doors during the day. We always offer our ongoing support throughout our guests stay and encourage guests to contact us so that we can assist with issues wherever possible. Property Owner
Carol June 2024

“We found this to be an excellent, well positioned property.”

Andrew, the owner of the property, was extremely helpful keeping us informed about disabled parking etc. We would highly recommend this property.

Robert March 2024

“The property was very clean and comfortable.”

It was very close to the town centre so perfect for us - we parked the car and never used it again until we left! There was a problem with the shower which the owner immediately sorted for us. The cottage would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues as the stairs are steep, and no good for small children as there is no bathtub. But it was very warm and comfortable.

- Robert, March 2024

We really appreciate your feedback, so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Stephen October 2023

“Third visit to this cosy ,well equiped house, in an ideal location to explore Stratford and beyond.”

Welcome pack is worth the visit alone ,would recomend to anyone. Having experienced the RSC for the first time we can see more visits in the future and will not hesitate to rebook this property.

- Stephen, October 2023

Great to see you back at Midsummer Cottage yet again. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. Property Owner
Jayne September 2023

“Thank you so much to Alan & Moira for our 4 night stay.”

Immaculately clean, perfect location within walking distance of Stratford town centre. Well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. We really appreciated the welcome pack and parking permits and had no problem parking. The local tips were welcome too. We enjoyed fresh sourdough bread & croissants from Mor bakery nearby. Will definitely book again.

- Jayne, September 2023

Micheal September 2023

“This house was in the perfect position for exploring Stratford Upon Avon and the surrounding area.”

It was just round the corner from the lovely pedestrian area, close to the railway station and bus stops. The house is light and airy with a little garden to be able to sit outside. Bundles of kitchen equipment, and appliances. Spotlessly clean.

- Micheal, September 2023

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. Property Owner

“Great property right in the centre of Stratford with everything within walking distance.”

Clean, warm and well equipped. It sits in our top 10 of Sykes holiday properties.

Kate August 2023

“The property itself was lovely and very, very clean.”

It was very well located, and with parking, which is a must in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a very quick and easy walk into the town centre, with everything that you might need on the doorstep. Thank you to the owners for the welcome gifts and for supplying essentials such as salt, pepper, washing up liquid etc. these were very much appreciated. However, the beds were very uncomfortable. Sadly, we all found it very difficult to sleep because of them and ended up quite grumpy as a result. Such a shame, as it was the only thing that let the property down.

- Kate, August 2023

We are really sorry that you found the beds uncomfortable, we do not usually get this feedback. In fact previous guest feedback stated 'Cottage clean and beds comfortable - would recommend for location and comfort'. We will investigate further. Property Owner
J A June 2023

“Excellently situated for all things Stratford.”

Cottage clean and beds comfortable. A lot of thought has gone into the decor. Everything needed for a stay including the lovely welcome pack (thanks). No problem with parking which had been a concern before arriving. Thanks for a lovely stay would recommend for location and comfort.

Edith November 2022

“Really comfortable cottage in a perfect position close to everything.”

The cottage was clean and had everything you need including a good welcome pack. The parking passes were really useful and there was always space. Perfect for a winter week away in beautiful Stratford.

So glad that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage. Thank you so much for your great feedback - its much appreciated. Property Owner
Michael November 2022

“Very well maintained, furnished and designed mid terrace house within a few minutes walk of the town centre, with a parking permit supplied and a considerate and helpful owner available if any problem.”

Perfect base for exploring Stratford and the surrounding area. One of the very best Sykes properties we have stayed at and thoroughly recommended for a couple or a family of four or two couples.

- Michael, November 2022

Glad that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and many thanks for the great feedback. Property Owner
Susan November 2022

“This is an absolutely beautiful property and we had a wonderful weekend enjoying Stratford and everything it has to offer.”

It’s perfectly placed being only a few minutes walk from the centre but really quiet at night. Brilliantly appointed and lovely little thoughtful extras left by the owner. We’ll definitely be back!

- Susan, November 2022

So glad that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage. Thank you so much for your great feedback - its much appreciated. Property Owner
Ann September 2022

“When we arrived it was raining hard, We are both in our 80's and no taxi firms could come and pick us up due to the forthcoming food festival being erected, so not knowing where to go, we phoned the owner who went above and beyond to come and take us to the house.”

He is a first class man and owner!!! Barrie & Ann Cook

- Ann, September 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. Property Owner
Paul September 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay in your property.”

A convenient central location which provided a home from home base, allowing us to discover the delights of both Stratford-upon-Avon and the local surrounding areas. Favourite places visited include Sezincote, Boughton House Gardens, Stoneleigh Abbey and Coughton Court. The property was super clean, well equipt and welcome treats a nice touch. Thank you!

- Paul, September 2022

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage. We appreciate your positive feedback. Property Owner
Howard September 2022

“An extremely clean & well equipped holiday cottage right in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon.”

We had everything we needed for our stay (Thankyou for the extra goodies!) & with so much to do right on the doorstep, there is no need to use the car. Lots of lovely places to eat/drink & for a truly mesmerising experience, the Butterfly Farm is a must! Thankyou for a pleasant stay.

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

“A stunningly super clean holiday cottage.”

Very impressive presentation. Nice crockery and cutlery, decent mugs for a change! Great to park at the back of the property, very convenient for shops and good pubs. The street looks a bit dumpy. But is friendly. Very close to the hospital. With many walking wounded passing by! All in all was a great and happy holiday home.

- Simon, August 2022
Clare August 2022

“The property was so convenient for accessing Stratford upon Avon!”

We only used the car once. It was so lovely to just saunter into the town whenever we felt like it. The property was spotless including the toilets/bathroom, something that is very high up my list of priorities. I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere cleaner. For a small property it is very well equipped. It would be nice to have had another couple of chopping boards and a big serving spoon in the kitchen, but really that was all I noticed and most people probably eat out more than us anyway. All the utensils, cutlery, crockery was clean and seemingly new (I loved the mugs!). It's a compact property but it's been done with thought and taste. I'd definitely stay there again if I were visiting Stratford upon Avon again.

- Clare, August 2022

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and thank you for your very positive feedback which is very much appreciated. Property Owner
Johanne July 2022

“Fantasticly well located property, also very well equipped.”

Parking using the permits was no problem although it would also have been possible not to use the car. Many supermarkets, tourist attractions and restaurants all within easy walking distance. A great place to stay!

- Johanne, July 2022

Glad that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and many thanks for the positive feedback Property Owner
Anita June 2022

“It was lovely to be greeted by milk and wine in the fridge and bananas and chocolate on the table.”

There were also pods for the coffee machine and some fancy biscuits. The cottage was spotlessly clean. It was perfectly positioned for seeing Stratford. We parked our car and didn't use it again until we went home. Everything was within walking distance. We would highly recommend it.

- Anita, June 2022

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, thank you for your kind feedback, Property Owner

Cannot name any faults. Everything very clean, very good kitchen facilities, everything we needed was provided. Lovely welcome pack of food/drink, including wine, chocolate and fruit as well as the essentials of bread, butter, eggs and milk. The location is also perfect, 2 mins walk to the main streets of Stratford. Highly recommended!

“An absolutely lovely home away from home.”

Midsummer Cottage had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, cottage very clean and decor, furniture etc to a high standard. We were delighted with the welcome pack too. It’s in an ideal spot, just a few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. Would definitely recommend.

Graham December 2021

“We stayed in the cottage over Christmas and immediately felt at home on arrival.”

There was a Christmas present and card waiting for us as well as Christmas crackers and a tree with lights. The owners, Alan and Moira, had also left provisions including a bottle of wine. We have been staying in holiday cottages for over twenty five years and have never known owners make so much effort to make guests feel welcome. The cottage was also tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. We were able to park directly outside the property using the permit provided. In fact, we never used the car during our stay as the cottage was within walking distance of the town centre. Very much recommended!

Elizabeth December 2021

“The owner of the cottage was very helpful and He was was there to greet us when we arrived.”

Making sure that we had a parking space as it was the Victorian Market weekend. All information on the cottage had been emailed in advance. The cottage was was bright and spotlessly clean. It had been tastefully decorated and the furnishings We’re colour coordinated throughout. It had everything that we wanted and more. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous welcome pack even the Touch of the yellow roses. We were warm and content for the whole of our stay. As I have a mobility problem this cottage was so near to all of the Towns Attractions which was helpful. I would certainly recommend this cottage and would love to return. A great base for anyone wanting to explore Stratford.

- Elizabeth, December 2021

Thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Alan & Moira Property Owner
Pamela December 2021

“Stopped at Midsummer Cottage for 3 nights to spend time at the Christmas Market and I must say the cottage was top class.”

Location was fantastic and close to all amenities. Beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Nothing was too much bother and as husband has bad chest and sleeps almost sitting up extra pillows were put in but to be honest we never needed as the ones supplied were such good quality and would have been sufficient. We never cooked in the cottage but if we had wanted to everything was supplied. We will return as it was so great and I highly recommend to my friends and family. I spoke to Alan a couple of times and nothing was too much trouble. Welcome pack was lovely and much appreciated. Thank you for a great stay. We will return.

“A great experience.”

A welcome pack and a vase of beautiful yellow roses greeted us. No detail had been overlooked. Its location was so near to the town - just minutes away. Parking permit worked well. I would certainly return to this delightful property.

- Lorna, August 2021
Paul August 2021

“We expected a lot and it delivered a lot.”

We chose this cottage because of it's close proximity to the town centre and it was perfect for that. The place was clean, tidy and well equipped. Communication with the owner was excellent. Managed to park right outside every day.

- Paul, August 2021
David July 2021

“What a superb place!”

Located just a few minutes walk from the town centre, we never used the car. Everything you need is on hand from restaurants, shops and walks. Parking on the road so close to the centre was an added bonus. The cottage is very well appointed, and an excellent welcome hamper was a lovely touch - thank you! A special thanks to Alan and Moira for great comms and for going above and beyond. Highly recommended!!

- David, July 2021
Jeremy June 2021

“This is a lovely cottage, very comfortable and exceptionally clean.”

Has lots of extras which were very welcome and thoughtful. It's very close to town, didn't use our car at all, parking is good as permit is included. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Stratford-upon-Avon.

- Jeremy, June 2021

Corrie October 2020

“A wonderful retreat very close to the centre of Stratford upon Avon.”

Beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Lots of little extras to make you feel welcome. We worried about parking as we had to come down in two cars due to work commitments, but the two permits allow for easy parking and Mansell Street always had a spot or two free.

- Corrie, October 2020
Christine October 2020

“This cottage is a real gem.”

We found it bright and welcoming as well as spotlessly clean. The owners had thought of everything you might need during your stay, as well as leaving several items of food and drink to get your holiday started. All very much appreciated by us. The property is very close to the town centre, just a few minutes walk. This was great as we left the car parked up for the whole 4 days. Parking permits are provided too! Apart from exploring the town centre and the obvious local attractions we had a couple of lovely walks along the river Avon, including one to Weston on Avon, then back along the disused railway track/cycleway. Stratford upon Avon is a lovely town to visit with lots of independent shops and thriving markets, so plenty to do. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would certainly book it again if returning to the area.

- Christine, October 2020

Mark August 2020

“Very nice Holiday home in a really good location just a few mins walk from the town centre.”

We found the house to be very well equipped and there was also an excellent welcome pack full of essentials. Great location to explore the local area. Could not find fault. The nicest and cleanest holiday home we have stayed in.

- Mark, August 2020
Ellen August 2020

“Perfectly located for quick and convenient access to the town centre.”

Maximum 3 minute flat walk. The quality of appliances, crockery, and other home furnishings were of an extremely high quality. Spotlessly clean on arrival with ample cleaning materials provided. Welcome package was complet unexpected or expected and again, was another example of the quality of this holiday cottage and the care the owners take to ensure visitors enjoy the cottage from the time they enter. I have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Very comfortable stay. Thank you.

- Ellen, August 2020
Diane December 2019

“This was an exceptionally well appointed cottage.”

The owners had really thought about their guests' needs and provided not only the necessaries, but many extras too. All equipment was of high quality, everything looked new. Location is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the centre of town. Parking was difficult in the street at the front but there was always plenty of space in the off-street area behind the house, for which a permit was provided.

- Diane, December 2019
Michael November 2019

The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the town centre. One of the best sykes properties we have stayed in.

- Andrew, September 2019
Susan September 2019

“Probably one of the best self catering properties we have stayed in.”

I think that it was a new letting and it was stylish and lovely , a real home from home. It certainly exceeded expectations regarding 'added extras', fresh fruit, coffee, wine etc. The parking permit worked out very well and we never had a problem, which you might have expected where it was situated right in the centre of the town.
