  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!

  We really enjoyed staying at The Cottage It’s a really pretty cottage in a nice village close to Stratford and the Cotswolds Everything inside was spotless.

  It has been modernised inside very nicely keeping the feel of the pretty Cottage The bedroom was spacious with a large double bed which was very comfy The stairs are a little quirky to go up but are ok as long as you are fairly able Everything you need is there ! Nice Kitchen and downstairs toilet and shower and all up to date but in keeping The lounge is comfy The owner left a nice basket of some goodies for us and milk and even treats for my two dogs It has a tiny gravelly outside garden which has white picket fencing round so safe to let my dogs outside briefly There is a parking space right by the cottage We stayed there as we were attending and competing at a Championship Dog Show at Stoneleigh Park, so its location was suitable and also suitable for visiting our relatives in Warwick as well. Nice open fields nearby to exercise my two dogs The owner was very nice and helpful during our stay . Thank you all.

  I was very surprised to find was owned by a local cleaning ‘solutions’ company… The following solutions were not met.

  Having stayed a few weeks before for another two weeks I found the same issues which even after reporting were not addressed or even responded to. The shower and bath had not been cleaned at all with footprints and scum rings in the bath and mould and hairs in the shower. The sewer pipe had a leak above the front door so expect an outdoor shower when emptying the bath and we were left with a dirty mop behind the electric fire to mop up a leaking chimney. There were stains all over the fireplace due to the leak and it would only have needed a lick of paint…. There was a lot of mould growing behind the bed. Were left a couple of toilet rolls and a bin bag for two weeks so had to go out and buy some more and some bathroom cleaner and bleach. Matters were raised by email with owner for resolution but I heard absolutely diddly squat back…. Other than that it was a charming building character wise in a nice location.

  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.
