“The cottage was excellent and an ideal location when relatives and friends were travelling from all parts of uk.”

There was a large cake waiting for us, flowers, prosecco and chocolates and this made us feel very welcome. The cottage has plenty of character and we felt very much at home. Our weather (end of September) was rather wet but we could see the garden would be wonderful for families with children. We were very pleased the WIFI was fixed because the mobile network coverage in the village is pretty poor. We really enjoyed our stay.

John September 2024

“A very nice house and garden, well looked after, clean and well provisioned, (with a welcome cake, bottles of wine and milk).”

Only issue was that WiFi wouldn't work and mobile reception is poor in the village. Otherwise an excellent choice.

- John, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback, it's wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay and the lovely welcome cake. Did you get in contact with the Owner to sort the Wifi, as she is only very local and would have been happy to come around to assist if you had any issues getting it to work. We hope to welcome you again for another stay in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Rhian September 2024

“Our second visit.”

..we love it....spotlessly clean, super comfortable and spacious, well equipped kitchen with basics like milk, tea, coffee(for machine) and bread supplied . Also a delicious cake! The location is super quiet in a pretty and friendly village with a nice pub just 100yards away. The garden is large and lovely and we were able to breakfast outside each morning. Plenty of parking too. Nothing g not to like.

- Rhian, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you had another enjoyable stay! Property Owner
Robert August 2024

“The cottage is lovely with lot of space for our group.”

The gardens were fantastic for the dogs.it is in a lovely village location with the pub just 100 yards away. Everything was provided but sadly the was no Internet and so we had no TV as the cottage has Sky TV (which is a rare provision). Also the boys could not play on their games and even worse you could not get a phone signal in the cottage. The owner said it was the fault of BT which was beyond their control. Had this worked it would be very good as the owners even had a Mesh system installed to improve quality. This had a major impact on everybody. The bed in our room was collapsed in the middle so it was very uncomfortable. There were two BBQs provided and the owner even left a lovely big cake on arrival, a coffee machine and everything you could want or need. The microwave did not work and the owner immediately delivered a brand new one. Overall a superb cottage, well equipped and located. Everybody enjoyed themselves.

- Robert, August 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your issues with the WiFi. It is a shame that BT had not been able to resolve during your stay. We are glad that the owner was able to help with the microwave and you enjoyed the cake and all that was provided for you at the cottage. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Melanie July 2024

“We are a family party of eight, including three children with two dogs and the house was perfect.”

The children and dogs enjoyed playing in the garden when we returned from days out and we were able to eat breakfast outside in the sun every morning. We were also all able to fit around the dining table indoors for a couple of evening meals. The location of the property was ideal for visiting many different locations. There is plenty of parking space at the property and a small shop and pub within walking distance. I really cannot find fault at all -ten out of ten!

- Melanie, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we are so pleased you all had a lovely stay at Elmhurst Cottage. It's in a great location to explore everything in the Cotswolds and it has so many great places to visit with children and the dogs. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

Margaret June 2024

“This is the best self-catering accommodation I've ever stayed in, and I've been in very many over the years.”

The house is very comfortable, well furnished, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The setting on the edge of the village make it really private and tranquil. The attention to detail inside was obvious, and the garden was an absolute haven (immaculately maintained) after a hard days "holidaying"!!! Can't think of anything that needs changed/improved. Thank you from Margaret, Ann, Judy, and Kirsty.

- Margaret, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Elmhurt Cottage. We are so pleased to hear how much you loved the house and such wonderful comment. The Owner really works hard to make sure every guest has a very special stay and it's lovely to see it's appricated. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

Michael June 2024

“Elmhurst Cottage is a great place for a family holiday.”

The cottage is homely and well equipped and we all had a fantastic time there. Sandra was an excellent host and very good at providing updates and info as we needed it. In the cottage there was lots of space, comfy chairs, great facilities, and very good bedrooms & bathrooms, and even the gardens were brilliant too.

- Michael, June 2024

Thank you for your feedbak with regards to your recent stay at Elmhurst Cottage. It's so wonderful to hear how much you have enjoyed your family holiday with us.

The cottage feels homely but also is very spacious with a great enclosed garden. Would recommend to anyone.

James April 2024

“We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage, which is situated in a peaceful village yet not too far from attractions in Stratford, Warwick and beyond.”

The cottage was maintained to an excellent standard, with gorgeous gardens. There’s plenty of space for large family groups. I would stay again!

- James, April 2024

Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage and loved the location too for visiting all the local attractions. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Amanda December 2023

“Elmhurst was the perfect property for a large fanily Christmas together.”

The cottage was decorated beautifully and a festive welcome pack was also provided (the cake will be talked about for many years to come!!). The cottage is homely and cosy, but also large enough for people to spread out and have their own space. The kitchen was so well equipped and the ovens were perfect for cooking a large Christmas dinner. The extra freezer and drinks coolers were a nice touch and were used daily. Beds were comfy and the bedrooms very spacious and clean. The enclosed garden was perfect for our 2 small dogs, and the gate between the kitchen and dining room ensured that they didn’t go into the other rooms with their wet paws. A really wonderful week for us all. We couldn’t recommend this cottage enough and we all feel that the online photographs don’t do the cottage justice as they don’t show the extent of the room layout downstairs. Thankyou Amanda and family

- Amanda, December 2023

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're delighted you, your family (and your dogs) enjoyed Christmas at Elmhurst Cottage. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Philippa August 2023

“We had a lovely stay in Elmhurst Cottage with two families - four adults, five teens and one dog!”

The kitchen is extremely well equipped and well stocked, we cooked at home for nine with no issues at all. Overall a very comfortable cottage - beware the beams! Hadn’t thought that one through for my 6’4” guest!! My only suggestion would be to move the single bed into the study. The garden is spacious with lots of places to sit. We walked every day, mostly straight from the cottage. Some lovely circular walks with cracking pub lunches to Mickleton and Ilmington (special mention for the Sunday roast at the Red Post here). We would highly recommend this cottage.

- Philippa, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the local amenities. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
David June 2023

“Beautiful cottage and well equipped.”

Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Set in pretty village with shops, take always, post office, pub/restaurant and church. The dishwasher washes very well but is in dire need of a new bottom rack, as this limits the amount the dishwasher can hold. The garden is big and well maintained with various seating areas. Had a wonderful holiday and would recommend Elmhurst Cottage.

- David, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. Thank you for notifying us about the dishwasher, we have passed this onto the owner. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and it's garden. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Rhian May 2023

“Lovely property - v characterful and spacious.”

V comfy and well appointed. The village was beautiful and we were 2 mins from local pub which we visited 3 times in 5 days! The garden was gorgeous...large and secluded ....and we ate our meals outside. Loved our stay and we will be returning.

- Rhian, May 2023

Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage (and your visits to the local pub!). We look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Angela May 2023

“Great house for a family group.”

Lovely garden. Great kitchen and oven - we cooked a lot when we were there. The flowers, brownies and prosecco etc on arrival were a lovely welcome. Only really small things to mention - in the kitchen extra useful items could be included eg small glasses not just large ones! A sieve, chopping boards would also be useful - just a few gaps that a quick trip to ilea could sort out .A few more store cupboard ingredients such as oil could be useful as well. And the light above the range cooker needs fixing, and the bottom of the dishwasher . Small things but when you’re catering for 9 people they become a bit more significant !

- Angela, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We have passed your suggestions for the kitchen onto the owner. We are pleased you and your family made good use of the house and garden. We hope you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Dawn December 2022

“Elmhurst cottage was just the job for our Christmas family get to together, been central in the country so we could congregate from London and the north with no trouble.”

The cottage is cosy and as previous reviews the welcoming pack was excellent. Also the Christmas tree and decorations were very much appreciated. There were plenty of crockery etc. and a large cooker with double ovens so cooking a full Christmas meal was easy. (Although there were a shortage of plates for some reason).. The shower in the bedroom with three beds has a service light on, but we managed well enough.

- Dawn, December 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage and had a wonderful Christmas. We hope to welcome you again in the future! Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Donna October 2022

“Absolutely beautiful property which was very much enjoyed by our toddler, grandparents and their dog.”

The garden is stunning and perfect for dogs and children to run around in. Bring Autumn, my toddler found so many pretty leaves for leaf rubbing. The property was extremely clean and comfortable...so much so that the grandparents would love to come back annually with us! The house was fully equiped with everything we needed. The cake, prosecco and juice were extremely kind touches that made us feel even more welcome. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay. We hope to all plan a trip here again next year.

- Donna, October 2022

thank you for your lovely feedback. we are so glad that you enjoyed your family holiday and the goodies in the welcome pack. We look forward to welcoming all the family back again next year. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Melanie July 2022

“We had a super holiday.”

The cottage was lovely and the cake and treats provided were delicious. The fresh gladioli were beautiful. The only things that need attention are the white goods. The dishwasher racks are broken ( tied together with cord) and the fridge door racks have disappeared so we lost a lot of storage room. It would also be sensible to advise people to bring their own oven gloves. However the cottage was the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds

- Melanie, July 2022

We are so glad that you enjoyed your holiday and were pleased with the cottage and the welcome goodies. Thank you for feedback re the white goods and oven gloves, which has been noted. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Daniel July 2022

“We had a great stay at Elmhurst Cottage.”

On arrival there were treats beyond expecation in the form of a box of chocolates, prosecco and a lovely home made cake! In terms of the property itself, it was very clean, comfortable and more than big enough for 2 families with 3 children between them to have fun. The garden was fantastic for little ones to run around in. If we generally visited the same places again we would consider coming back to the cottage, it's location close to Stratford upon Avon was good and to get to some major towns and sights within The Costwolds was around a half hour drive at a minimum. We didn't venture that far south, which may be a consideration if choosing to visit The Cotswolds, but that is no complaint of the property which was presented beautifully and very comfortable. One note, the church bells continue to ring overnight in the village, not much the proprietor can do about this of course, just something to factor in if you are a light sleeper.

- Daniel, July 2022

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback on your stay at Elmhurst Cottage. We are happy that you found the property and its amenities pleasing and spacious enough for your party. We are delighted to hear that you took advantage of the attractions available in the area. Best wishes, Manor Cottage Property Owner

Elizabeth May 2022

“We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Elmhurst Cottage.”

The outside area and garden especially were fantastic for our two families to get together. We had everything we needed to make a lovely weekend away. The house was clean and the bedrooms very comfortable. The welcome treats and essentials that were provided were much appreciated and gave the place a welcoming feel. Communication with Sykes Cottages was also prompt and helpful. Finally, Sandra went an extra mile helping us with a toy we had left behind for which we are very grateful! We would definitely recommend a stay here. Thank you!

- Elizabeth, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage and also managed to make the most of the garden. We would love to welcome you back again! Property Owner

“LOVELY COTTAGE IN A GOOD AREA, VERY WELL APPOINTED.”

EXCELLENT WELCOME GIFTS. ONLY COMMENT WAS NO HOUSE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IS UNUSUAL IN A LETTING PROPERTY (JUST BASICS REF HEATING,RECYCLING ETC)

- John James, April 2022

Thank you for your lovely review - we're so glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and also the welcome gifts. We will raise the issue of the house instructions and ensure that these are always available in the future. We hope to welcome you back again and thank you again for the feedback. Property Owner
Roberta April 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Elmhurst.”

The property was immaculate and the host Sandra was so helpful. The little treats she left for us and the children were very much appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are holidaying in that area another time . Excellent stay. Thank You.

- Roberta, April 2022
Beryl March 2022

“We were all very pleased with our accommodation which suited our needs perfectly.”

The cottage is very attractive, warm and comfortable, with a 'home from home' feel. Unfortunately it was the wrong time of the year to enjoy the lovely garden. The extra touches were a lovely surprise and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

- Beryl, March 2022

Liz November 2021

“The cake, Prosecco and flowers on arrival was a lovely touch.”

The owner was very accommodating by coming out on the Friday night to sort out a minor issue. The property was clean with all brand new bedding, and dining facilities was a perfect set up for our needs, kitchen brilliantly equipped also with everything you could need to cook full meals rather than just the basics, perhaps could have done with an extra chair in the lounge. Finally great to have off road parking to accommodate 4 cars. Overall, a real home from home feel.

- Liz, November 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and will pass your suggestions for improvement onto the owner. We would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner
Dave October 2021

“We had a brilliant stay at Elmhurst cottage.”

We arrived to bottles of Prosecco and the most amazing cake (thank you Sandra) and the cottage is just stunning! It was the first time we could meet up as a family post Covid (my parents, my sister and family and my wife and kids) and it was just ace! Couldn’t recommend the cottage, the owners and Sykes cottages enough! Deffo 5 stars!

Juliet July 2021

“There was very limited WiFi.”

This was a problem as limited phone and internet signal so couldn’t do any work or be in contact with family. The fridges were both broken in that they had no racks in the doors and one had a broken veg tray.

- Juliet, July 2021

We're so sorry to hear of the issues that you've encountered during your stay. We do hope that you were still able to enjoy your stay and please know that these issues will be passed onto the owner for review.

Helen October 2020

“It is a lovely cottage in a good location but it feels tired and is in need of a make over there were cobwebs on the light fittings downstairs the little lights in the bathroom didnt work in 2 of the bathrooms one of the rooms had no aerial so although there was a tv it couldnt be used the only mirrors are above the sinks in the bathrooms so you cant dry your hair in front of a mirror and there is no long mirror there were no instructions at all for anything the the boiler timer was wrong so the heating wasnt timed to come on at all and had to manually turned on and off ( in chilly late October) it is an expensive cottage and you expect luxury for that but it was lacking.”

- Helen, October 2020

I am sorry to hear things weren't as expected during your stay. I will be speaking to the owner and ensure the issues mentioned are rectified. Property Owner
Ailsa September 2020

“We only stayed in Elmhurst cottage for 2 nights but wished it was longer.”

Admittedly the glorious weather probably helped, but we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was so pretty inside and out with the gardens being much larger than the photos suggested. Everything was spotlessly clean, very reassuring in these Covid times but always a requirement. It sleeps 9 and we were only 5 but there was lots of seating for both eating and relaxing.I appreciated the presence of the basic kitchen items, washing up liquid etc so that I didn't need pack every last thing, and the welcome bottles of wine and chocolates were a lovely touch. I would recommend this cottage.

- Ailsa, September 2020

Thank you for recommending Elmhurst Cottage. We wish you could have stayed longer too and hope that you will return for a longer stay in the future. Property Owner
Adam August 2020

“This cottage was wonderful.”

It was in a very good location, had a beautiful garden, was very clean and well looked after and had all the facilities we needed and the owners were very welcoming, they left us the cot and high chair as requested. I would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend Elmhurst cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this area. Thanks so much

- Adam, August 2020

Sue July 2020

“A very spacious property In beautiful surroundings and enjoyed by three generations of the family.”

The property was well equipped and it was so lovely to be able to eat every meal outside in the garden with beautiful birdsong to accompany us! We very much appreciated the countryside walks and cycles; we had not been away from our local area in London for over four months.

- Sue, July 2020

It's so lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage. It's a fabulous spot to explore the area. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Ayesha February 2020

“The cottage was well equipped and clean.”

However, it did not meet our expectations as it was on the main road and the One bedroom was too small for a couple. The price did not reflect the size and the standard of the cottage. But it must be said that the owner was very nice and flexible with checkin and out.

- Ayesha, February 2020

“The house was lovely and had everything we needed for seven ladies sharing.”

Location good as well. The owner helpful and friendly. We appreciated her arrival gift of smartie/chocolate cake and prosecco.

- Breda, September 2019
Karen September 2019

“We all had a lovely time at the cottage.”

There were nine of us in all including two children and one infant. Each family had their own bathroom facilities which was very convenient and the garden was wonderful for playing in. As posted before, Sandra left us an amazing chocolate smartie cake and 2 bottles of prosecco which got our holiday off to a flying start! Would definitiely stay there again. Only things we couldn't find were a dustpan and brush (although we later found two brushes under the dresser in the kitchen) and a broom. All in all an amazing time was had by all.Thank you.

- Karen, September 2019
Edward August 2019

“An ideal venue for a family gathering with lots of space and a large garden for the children to enjoy.”

If you are looking for a 5* Holiday, look again, but if you want a welcoming friendly environment away from it all then this is the place to be.

- Edward, August 2019
Philip July 2019

“The cottage itself was comfortable and provided everything we needed.”

Only criticism? Perhaps more insructions on on facilities (oven, TV ,Dishwasher etc) would be a good idea. The village pub rovide an ex cellent evening meal for nine. Village church more thasn worth a visit. Access to Stratford very easy for theatre visit. A great garden; it being a hot week, we spent a lot of time out side and eating 'en plein air' was a real p[leasure. All in all we could not have chosen better.

- Philip, July 2019

Mrs Hand June 2019

“This is my third stay at Elmhurst Cottage.”

It's absolutely beautiful. It's set in such a pretty village. The local pub, The College Arms is very welcoming. We would definitely stay again!!

- Mrs Hand, June 2019
Jonathan April 2019

“This is a wonderful cottage in a quiet location right opposite the village church.”

Plenty of off street parking and the local pub is just round the corner. The garden is large with lots of seating and very well maintained. We were lucky that the sun shone for all 3 days so we could use the garden more than we would expect in the English spring! Inside is well equipped and clean with lots of space and lots of reminders of its history. Mobile reception is poor and internet speed slow, but then if that is your reason for staying here its not really a holiday is it? But thought it worth pointing out. Would highly recommend this cottage

- Jonathan, April 2019
William April 2019

“The host and house were very welcoming.”

It was ideal for our family and we had a enjoyable stay. The stay was a little spoiled as the dishwasher could not be operated for the whole weekend. There were two wheels missing off one side of the lower tray, which when loaded dropped onto the revolving sprayer. Sandra did call around that same day but her keys did not open any of the doors and she left us a note. The WiFi connection was poor and would be improved if the router was relocated more centrally; say in in the dining room. There is a file full of the instruction booklets for every piece of kit in the house but the file lacks a typed A4 sheet giving a few guidelines. The shower in the shared bathroom needs the switches in the cupboard to be on. When you go for a shower there the initial impression is that there is no hot water. Wearing only a towel is not the time to go exploring. Perhaps a plasticated note in the bathrooms could solve this. In other places we have stayed there is usually a notice asking for the beds to be stripped at the end of the stay. The fans in the bathrooms do not work when the light is switched on.. If there are switches for them they are not visible. It is not possible to lock the shared bathroom door which is not very convenient. Notwithstanding this we had a great weekend. There were a lot of condiments which we did not expect and the Prosecco, fudge and cakes were both delicious and well received. Oh the guidelines could also add that the College Arms accepts dogs. Thank Sandra for us. I am sure she did her best. The guideline sheet and a few plasticated notes are easy to arrange. We hope she found that we had left the place clean and tidy.

“Loved the cakes and prosecco when we arrived, we struggled with the fridges though, they froze our food!”

- Ms Hunter,
Mrs R

“The service we received from Manor Cottages was excellent and faultless.”

Overall we were very impressed and would definitely recommend Manor Cottages as a company and Elmhurst Cottage as a venue. The cottage owner, Sandra Davenport, was very friendly and helpful when I collected the keys from her and the information provided about the local area was brilliant. There were lovely little touches in the cottage, such as fresh flowers in the dining room, a bowl of chocolates, plenty of towels and the high-tech audio/visual equipment was a pleasant surprise.

- Mrs R,
Mrs C

“Very good. The cottage was lovely and extremely well equipped - they supplied a few dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid etc, it was very much appreciated!”

They even left us a bottle of bubbly and some chocolates. We really liked the excellent Sky package, log burning stove, where the cottage was (opposite a pretty church and very near the excellent village pub).

- Mrs C,
Mr and Mrs C

“Very comfortable, well equipped and accomodation suited our requirements.”

- Mr and Mrs C,
Heslop Family

“Excellent cottage with ample room for our party.”

Three bathrooms was an essential requirement. I would have liked warning of the low beams. As a tall man I cracked my head on the beams on several occasions. The dishwasher,freezer and fridge were all showing their age.

- Heslop Family,
Mr Strange

“Spacious, well equiped.”

Nice garden, good furniture inside and out.

- Mr Strange,
Ms Desoysa

“We had a very warm welcome at the cottage with a few extras -muffins and proseco and chocolates -left for us which was very welcoming.”

Everything was available in the cottage and we did not need anything. The garden and all the bedrooms and living areas were beautifully decorated and well looked after. We all had a wonderful time enhanced by our beautiful surroundings.

- Ms Desoysa,
Mr Rowland

“This was a special family occasion and the attention to detail in respect of provision for family living (e.”

“We had a most wonderful stay there.”

The extensive garden scored 20 out of 10! from my three young grandchildren. What a great bonus, with games of cricket (within the flower boundary of course), and football. The cottage itself scored on all fronts, from the quirky low beams (catching two of my family several times until they learned to duck down!), to the lovely kitchen, dining room, lounge, den, and the roomy bedrooms.

We enjoyed the outside eating area and the large extremely well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable and suited our party of 7 extremely well.

The property

Elmhurst Cottage is a very attractive holiday cottage situated in a picture postcard village in the northern Cotswolds.

The cottage is utterly charming and filled with lovely period features including original beams, an inglenook fireplace and flagstone floors - all hardly surprising given that it dates back to the 1600's!

It's idyllic location over looking the beautiful village church of St Swithin's along with glorious views to open countryside make it ideal for a rural holiday, yet given there is a pub in the village along with some basic shops you've actually got plenty on your doorstep too.

Its general location is perfect for visiting many local Cotswold villages plus of course Shakespeare Country at Stratford upon Avon.

The owner has carefully maintained the property over the years and still is one of our most popular cottages and in our opinion for good reason.

The cottage is ideal for groups and families alike with good size bedrooms, a study with Xbox for the children and a large garden to the rear.

We love it here!!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

CHIPPING CAMPDEN

Moreton-in-Marsh 8 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 12 miles

This market town defines the saying "good things come in small packages" as it proves itself to be a wonderful place for tourists to stay. Chipping Campden sits in the northern part of the Cotswolds and boasts many historical buildings from St. James' church where the Chipping Camden Music Festival is held every year, to the early 17th century market hall upon which the town prides itself. Not only does the town have a rich history but much more, the high street is laced with charming Cotswold stone buildings with a range of shops and pubs. Nearby there are several beautiful, formal gardens for you to wander through. Chipping Campden has held its own 'Olimpick Games' since the early 1600s including peculiar sports such as 'shin-kicking', most certainly worth lining your holiday up with to experience something so unique. For a dose of famous history, head to the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon just 12 short miles away, it offers some charming little buildings, bookshops, theatres and museums.
