What our customers say about their holidays

  What a fabulous holiday!

  ! Valentine's Cottage was simply beautiful, so well presented with everything you'd need for an enjoyable stay. The treats were so thoughtful, even our dog wasn't left out, and there were numerous small touches throughout the house that showed Sarah and Steve really care about their guests experience. The house itself is just over the road from the town centre and about 10 minutes walk from the waters edge, with plenty of historical places, landmarks, cafes, restaurants and shops within easy reach. Even the large supermarket was less than a mile away so it was easy to stock up on essentials for our stay. The folder of information we found at the cottage was very helpful and we made use of the recommendations of places to see and places to eat. The All Fours was lovely for a Sunday roast! All in all, we had an amazing time and are truly grateful to Sarah and Steve for enabling us to have had such a perfect holiday, which was very much needed and thoroughly enjoyed!

  Valentines cottage is a stunning property with it's decor and furnishings finished to an extremely high standard.

  It was spotlessly clean and I would be more than happy to live there myself! Sarah, the owner was extremely helpful responding to my emails and was also more than happy to speak to me over the telephone. There was a lovely bottle of wine and some chocs waiting for us on arrival as well as tea, coffe, sugar, milk and biscuits. We thought this was a really kind gesture. The cottage was also stocked with everyday essentials such as cleaning products, tin foil, kitchen roll, and some nice toiletries. The property is a five minute walk from the town centre and we didn't need to use our car at all for the duration of our stay. There were plenty of places to eat and drink as well as various supermarkets all close by. It was our first visit to Stratford-upon-Avon and we will definitely be returning to this lovely picturesque town. Valentines Cottage will be our first choice for self catering accommodation.

  Valentines cottage was an absolute joy.

  It was a difficult time for us as we had to attend a funeral during our stay but from the moment we stepped inside...it was like getting a big consoling cuddle.Every care had been taken to make Valentines welcoming and it was full of festive cheer and festive smells from the pot poured.The Christmas tree was up and all the decorations.Even the doggie basket was festive!There were chocs and wine for us and treats for the doggies too.Most of all the cleanliness was exceptional and this was very reassuring as my husband has a compromised immune system.It was so warm,comfortable and cosy throughout.Just lovely.Plenty of croc,glasses and equipment in the kitchen too which although should be a given isn't always the case.Needless to say apart from the comfort and warmth of the cottage the location of Valentines is great.We parked the car and didn't use it again until we left.Top marks.Thank you.

  There is no doubt that Masons Court is a wonderful historic building in a very convenient location.

  The courtyard was a bonus, and safe for our little dog, as long as other resident’s didn’t leave the gate open. I’m afraid I have to agree with the previous reviewer about the level of comfort. The bed is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in! The kitchen area is very small, which I didn’t mind, but it was so cluttered that it was difficult to prepare even the simplest of meals (usually breakfast, we ate out most nights). Also, I had to wash one of the oven trays 3 times and cover it in foil before I could use it. All of the taps wobble, and need attention. Not major issues, but none the less need to be addressed. This is the 4th. holiday cottage that we have stayed in this year, in different parts of the country, although we love Stratford-upon-Avon, (we lived here in the early eighties), I’m not sure that we would stay at 1, Masons Court when we next visit.

  We have stayed here before and the property is lovely, but a few things let it down this time.

  The patio area was unavailable because the building work at the adjacent property had damaged the fence and made it inaccessible. This was one of our main reasons for choosing the property so we notified the management company but heard nothing back. The heating was set uncomfortably high (22C) and we kept turning the thermostat down but couldn’t reset it, and so each time it was timed to come in, it whizzed back up to 22C. I kept meaning to call the housekeeper, but was only reminded when the heating got hot (5.30 am or when we got home in the evening, so too early or too late to call).The bathroom ceiling is peeling, understandable with such and old property, but not very nice. Grateful for the season ticket for parking, but had a bit of trouble working out to to put it in the machine, would welcome some clearer instructions next time.
