“The place was lovely and they went the extra mile to provide biscuits and fresh milk for tea and coffee along with all the amenities to make said breakfast beverages.”

We enjoyed the space very much and the location was an easy walk to the main areas of town. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. Street parking worked well as we arrived after street restrictions were lifted for the weekend. The days we needed to move the car by 10 we had plans to be on the road and didn’t return until after day time restrictions were done. It really wasn’t too hard. Enjoyed our stay.

“Generally we had a good time, clean property and a good location.”

But parking was an issue, finding somewhere suitable, we had decent weather so it was a pity that we couldn't sit out in the garden as it is not usable. Lastly checking in times seem to be getting later ie 5pm for this property, luckily the owner kindly let us check in at 3pm.

- Peter, April 2024
Jenny April 2024

“A clean, cosy, comfortable, well equipped cottage in a great location for all the historic sites in town.”

I don’t think the listing mentioned the private little garden which would be a great place to sit in fine weather. Visitors need to be able to manage fairly steep stairs (which was no problem for us) We had a lovely short holiday. Thankyou.

- Jenny, April 2024
T October 2023

“A lovely comfortable property only a short walk into Stratford-upon-Avon town centre.”

There's everything you need and we discovered an iron and ironing board in an upstairs cupboard (which has a stiff door) in the double bed room. We would have found different coloured towels useful so that you can tell them apart, but this is a detail. The garden at the back is lovely and sunny. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Aileen September 2023

“We have stayed in this cottage many times and it never fails to impress us.”

Comfortable and clean with the added benefit of being close to town centre.

- Aileen, September 2023
Maria September 2023

“The property Washington very clean, and all you need was avaiable.”

There are instructions about The house. Internet was good. And The hostess was kind and help us when we need some information! The location is excelent. Thank you very much!

- Maria, September 2023
Nigel September 2023

“Pinecote gives east walkable access to the delights of Stratford upon Avon.”

All the Shakespearean attractions are within easy reach, as are the many pubs and restaurants. The fact that we could book dates we wanted, rather than Friday to Friday, or Saturday to Saturday was a bonus.

- Nigel, September 2023
Liz August 2023

“We had a lovely stay here , comfy cosy and perfectly adequate for a self catering , the property would be good for long or short stay , couple or families.”

Arrived to find tea/ coffee and milk for that all important first cuppa after travelling ! 10 minute walk to town and shops nearer for essentials. Only issue we had was that we didn’t pack a hairdryer

- Liz, August 2023
Sian July 2023

“Comfortable, clean and warm cottage.”

A ten minute walk from the centre of Stratford upon Avon, a ridiculously beautiful town, bustling and vibrant. The only criticisms we have are:- Pillows were very thin. Towels are old and need replacing. We had a wonderful week that passed by way too quickly.

- Sian, July 2023
Christine June 2023

“There is so many sights to see in Stratford and the surrounding area and Pinecote is within easy walking distance of many of them.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our week thanks to comfortable beds and settees, a well equipped kitchen and pleasant bedrooms. Having the bathroom on the ground floor took a bit of getting used to but we were glad of the washing machine There are plenty of mugs and glasses but more dinner plates are needed. All in all, a lovely compact cottage as shown in the listing.

- Christine, June 2023
Florence Hazel June 2023

“Lovely cottage but a bit further from the town centre than we imagined.”

- Florence Hazel, June 2023
Faith December 2022

“The cottage was as advertised.”

The place was the cleanest property have been in so far. Close to the Town Centre. TV crackled a little when watching it. Was a standard TV about 15 years old, no TV guide on TV and no other channels was added to the TV. Only standard channels, such as BBC and ITV. Knives were blunt when preparing vegetables. Oven old, and took some getting accustomed to using. Hob was good to use. Heating was good and property warm.

- Faith, December 2022
Sheila November 2022

“We were a bit cold.”

Thermostat did not appear to work. No internet for some of our stay but apparently this was an ISP problem. Apart from this it is a great location. Parking permit is available, this was not made clear initially. Comfy little cottage. Would recommend for summer months.

- Sheila, November 2022
Rona August 2022

“Once we got our bearings it was easy to walk in to town centre from Pinecote.”

Not far from river and RSC. House was very clean and comfy beds. Nice fluffy towels to use. Really enjoyed having an outside space to sit and relax in. Thoughtful and very welcome touches were having tea/coffee/sugar/milk and a pack of biscuits waiting for us. Felt able to relax immediately after a long journey. Lovely base to explore the beautiful town of Stratford upon Avon.

- Rona, August 2022
Paul August 2022

“DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER THE BEDROOMS WERE VERY HOT WHILST TRYING TO SLEEP (I BELIEVE THERE WAS ONLY ONE FAN AVALIABLE FOR ROOMS) NOT SURE IF THE ONE FAN HELPED MUCH AS IT WAS IN MY DAUGHTERS ROOM.”

OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

- Paul, August 2022
Stuart June 2022

“VERY GOOD SHORT BREAK, WAS EVERTHING THAT WAS OFFERED”

“After reading negative reviews I was pleasantly surprised.”

It was cosy clean beds comfortable. We had a lovely time.

- Valerie, June 2022
Robin April 2022

“Charming little cottage in an ideal location for walking into the centre of Stratford-Upon-Avon.”

Very clean and well equipped. Advertised as small but still adequate space even for 4 adults. We even had good enough weather to sit in the garden which proved to be a real sun trap. Owner was very pleasant and informative especially regarding parking when contacted to arrange key collection and even went out of her way to get back in touch with us when she discovered the cottage would be ready earlier than originally advised which was very much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

- Robin, April 2022
Claudia Denton April 2022

“We were comfortable in the property, and it is in a great location for all amenities.”

We parked up for the week and walked everywhere. It's a nice walk into the town and surrounding attractions. Not too close for noise from bars/pubs/restaurants but close enough for a quick stroll, around 10mins if that. It was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. There were things at the property that thought of the visitor, like kitchen cleaning products and 2 towels each for the whole family for the bathroom. There were tea towels and tea/coffee making products and other useful items too. A nice little welcome milk and cookies was a lovely touch. The TV was much smaller than we are used to, but this didn't trouble us too much. The bed wasn't the best, unfortunately, and after all that walking, a good night's sleep was a must. My husband is 6ft3+, so the double bed was not to his liking but we made it work. My teens in the other room were happy with bed comfort though. Heather was a great host and Lisa/Bex were incredible housekeepers. My son forgot his wallet bag and Lisa and Bex were too kind to hand-deliver it to us instead of posting. We are in Bedfordshire!!! I would definitely recommend and can't wait to return

- Claudia Denton, April 2022
Lucy April 2022

“Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.”

Within 10 minutes walk of the town centre, so perfect for exploring Stratford. Just a few little maintenence jobs to get on top of to make it even more perfect (fixing the bedroom window latch in particular), but they didn't detract from a lovely holiday.

- Lucy, April 2022
Catherine December 2021

“Perfect for our stay!”

Very well equipped and very well located for the centre. Cosy and convenient!

- Catherine, December 2021
Berkant November 2021

“Small but cosy cottage.”

Had all the facilities needed. Clean & comfortable. Also has a parking permit available to use so you can park outside for longer than 2 hours. Coffee, tea, milk & biscuits in welcome pack. Only disadvantage was toilet is downstairs

- Berkant, November 2021
Karen November 2021

“Did not stay at cottage.”

Did not appreciate being ranted at by the owner even after several apologies given for picking up car parking permit before 5 o clock

- Karen, November 2021

I gave the guest the keysafe number earlier than I should have done, assuming she would respect the starting time of her holiday. like everyone else.. she arrived early and I spoke on the phone to tell her the cleaner had not been in yet. she had the audacity to go into the kitchen when she arrived at about 11 and left a note to the cleaner to say she needed to park her car, so had taken the parking permit. How dare she be so utterly thoughtless and self centred.??!! THank goodness she left, so didn't stay Property Owner
Ivor September 2021

“Very comfortable cottage with everything required.”

5 minutes walk from Stratford town centre, parking good, right opposite a petrol station. Busy road but no noise problems. Enjoyed holiday.

Alison August 2020

“As we shared with the owner we were disappointed that all the plates were still dirty (they had been washed in the dishwasher but food remained on them and the wine glasses had lipstick on them).”

The owner stated she would follow this up with the cleaning company. This experience did not fill me with reassurance in respects of the standard of cleaning throughput the home taking into account it was during covid 19

“Home from home.”

Susan October 2019

“Pinecote was ideal for the two of us, being warm and cosy and very close to the town.”

We hardly used the car and the parking permit allowed us to park right outside. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage is small, but perfect for what we needed.

- Susan, October 2019
Catharina April 2019

“There was a problem with the heating but this was fixed by the owner so we had a warm and cosy stay.”

Roger March 2019

“Central heating not working in lounge and kitchen,just about keeping bedrooms warm.”

Bathroom like a sauna.only heat in lounge was the electric fire.cupboard under the sink full of half empty bleach and cleaning fluids.no grill pan and no frying pan.saucepans dirty.used dirty cups in cupboard.bath mat for shower revolting,new one bought by myself.wardrobe in second bedroom full of bed linen and towels,unable to hang any clothes.airing cupboard downstairs empty!! Dining chairs falling apart.House itself okay.short walk to town centre.

- Roger, March 2019
Lisa December 2018

“The cottage is well placed with a short walk into town.”

About 10 minutes. It was clean, and well kitted out. However the sofas are worn out, and so uncomfortable. I would say the springs have gone, and should be replaced. It is also tiny, so you do need to get on if there are more than 4 of you. We found that we spent more time out, even evenings, than in.

- Lisa, December 2018

Thank you for your feedback. The owner has now replaced the two sofas and the mattresses on the beds. Property Owner
June October 2018

“Was our first visit to Stratford upon Avon, it will not be our last.”

We hope to return soon. People were very friendly and there was lots to see and do. Highlights were Shakespeare’s school rooms and Mary Arden’s Farm. Pinecote is a cosy, well equipped, cottage within walking distance of the town. It is not luxurious, some of the furnishings were a little shabby, but we found it comfortable and relaxing. The coffee, tea and biscuits provided were a nice touch, as were the cleaning supplies and dish cloths. Enough kitchen equipment is provided to prepare a full meal, should you feel that way inclined. We were very happy with the cottage and would not hesitate to stay there again.

- June, October 2018
Sue September 2018

“This cottage was situated in an ideal location for exploring the very beautiful town of Stratford-Upon -Avon and the surrounding area .”

We did not have a car but were able to walk to the many places of interest and explore the town centre and the beautiful River Avon. The excellent variety of local pubs and restaurants provided a great choice of menus. Public transport was good - especially the convenience of the city tour bus giving the opportunity to explore places further afield. We were given a warm welcome by the owner and everything in the cottage was very clean and cosy and all that we needed for our stay was there Thank you for a wonderful week in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

- Sue, September 2018
Aileen June 2018

- Aileen, June 2018
Tim March 2018

“The only thing that lets the cottage down are the mattresses on beds are old and unsupportive really need replacing.”

We also had to put all crockery,cutlery & pots and pans through dishwasher before we could use them. But on the whole it was ok.

- Tim, March 2018
Ann March 2018

“Lovely welcome by owner, much appreciated.”

Pinecote is in a great situation, just 5-10 min walk to town centre. Parking permit was great too. Guests should be aware bathroom is downstairs. Shower not working while we there but there was plenty of hot water and lovely bath. House was lovely and warm too, especially welcome as it was weekend of snow storm. Only grumble would be owner wants you out by 10, which is early for self catering. We were tidying up and sure enough owner arrived at 10:10to strip beds, we therefore got stuff together and left. Apart from this, lovely stay, thank you.

- Ann, March 2018
