  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.

  We had a really lovely experiences at Toot View, The views, property, and property location are exceptional.

  Our stay was a literal balm to the soul... and the owners very kindly assisted us. Having mobility issues my wife did find the access to Toot View challenging, but do-able with help from me, the ramp was steep for her, as were the access steps to the property. The main bedroom bed had a foam mattress which did not provide sufficient comfort/rest for my wife, which was a shame, she slept on the sofa in the lounge during our stay (which proved to be far more comfortable). (My wife has issues with her spine) The lounge, Sofa, Armchairs, Dining, Patio Furniture are all excellent. the furniture all in very good condition and of good quality... The bathroom is large, with lots of good quality fluffy soft towels, the shower is an excellent size. The kitchen too is well equipped and well provisioned. We would definitely visit Toot View again, (bringing a portable mattress topper for my wife), this would not put us off, we have only mentioned the issues my wife had in-case any future visiting party has members with Mobility/Spine Issues, so that they can litigate for these.

  What a beautiful place.

  Having sheep and lambs on your front door and a spectacular view made our holiday very special. Enjoyed many cups of tea looking at the landscape. The highlight of the actual house is how spacious it is. I don't actually think the photos represent the house properly and more emphasis should be put on the view and how big the living area is. The kids loved the bunk bed, its all they talk about. I have staycationed for many years and this is the first time I truly went off the main road and away from it all. There is a hiking trail on your doorstep and a huge woodland that the kids loved to play in. The hosts took the family around their farm and showed is all the animals. It was an absolute pleasure to meet them. In all honesty I can't believe this place was so cheap in comparison to what is on offer here. I think Sykes are too focussed on the luxuries of life and have forgotten what really adds value to a place. Thank you Helen and Ian, I hope to be back soon.

  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.
