  Quaint,very picturesque Tudor property.

  Extremely well presented.. All the amenities of home. parking space to the rear with plenty of room. A short walk around the corner you enter a short gated walk way into a well laid out. sunny patio area. In through the front door The kitchen and living area all together as you enter. All you need for any home cooking. Plenty of pans and dishes and a few nice touches like small pails for egg cups and patterned cups.. Modern fitted kitchen with electric hob and oven, Small fridge freezer ,microwave cooker and washer/dryer.. Nice sharp knives and decent cutlery. The living area had a 3 seat leather sofa and 2 soft fabric chairs facing the chimney breast. A nice stock of books ,games and local information in the book case. A table and 4chairs that can be extended underneath the leaded window.. Up the small staircase to the carpeted hallway with loads of storage and head room. Bathroom facing, again modern with a bit of classic thrown in. Nice big shower and separate free standing cast iron bath, sink and toilet , leaded window. Large bedroom to the right with wardrobe side tables and chest of drawers. Very comfortable bed. Angled ceiling to the front. leaded window. across the landing , bedroom 2. large room with hanging rail and chest of drawers. Single bed underneath the window and another underneath the eves.. Loads of headroom upstairs, not so much downstairs with character original beams and white painted plaster throughout. Well planned, out and very clean in every aspect . Near to all the history of Stratford. Shops and pubs/ eateries within walking distance. We only used the car once while here . I would recommend this place to anyone .Communication with the agent was excellent. Everything you could wish for in a short break or longer at any time of year. Thankyou for a great vacation home.

  Levie was a fantastic host who was very friendly and welcoming.

  The added touches on arrival such as flowers, coffee and cake were so lovely and appreciated. The Garden House was very clean, warm, quiet and well decorated. A brand new ninja air fryer was waiting for us which took some getting used to as not having operated one before. We appreciated that our family dog could accompany us on this stay as accommodation can be so hard to come by. Levie does have her own dog which uses the garden (although fenced) but it did mean we had to keep an eye on our pet whilst outside as he isn’t good with other dogs. The location has some stunning views and surroundings but the remote location did mean we had next to no phone signal which was problematic. The wifi was also very limited and even though Levie did try to fix this for us, it still didn’t give us the access we needed throughout our stay. This holiday home is perfect for two people but as a family of five, was a little cramped at times but nonetheless still comfortable and pleasant. Thank you Levie for a wonderful two weeks.

  Having just spent 4 nights at the Garden House…when the time came to leave we were sorry we couldn’t stay a lot longer!

  Set in a beautiful garden, it is the perfect place to both hang around, chill and relax in or to visit the lovely places within easy reach (ie. Cotswolds, Stratford Upon Avon)…in fact we always were in a dilemma when having to choose between both options! The accommodation is modern, well equipped with a very high standard of cleanliness. One side of the Garden House has a seating area and overlooks the main garden towards the owners house and on the opposite side is another garden area with seating and parasols, which is totally private and a real sun trap. As mentioned in another review, photographs don’t really do it all justice. The owner, Levie is really lovely and couldn’t have done more to make our stay so enjoyable, right from our welcome with Cappuccino and cake through to the same for our departure. She was always on hand if needed without being at all obtrusive. We will certainly be going back in the non-too distant future!

  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.
