This opens onto the lounge which has been finished with a clever mix of both old and new, sink back into the colourful sofas and enjoy the warmth of the wood burner whilst relaxing with friends, or enjoy an evening with an old movie. The kitchen/diner has been finished with panelled walls and light colours, a great space for any enthusiastic cook and well-equipped with electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A rustic table and chairs enjoy a position by the window. When the day is done you will find a king-size bedroom on the ground floor, beautifully finished with soft linen and vibrant colours.

Julies cottage was beautiful. She provided a warm welcome upon arrival and made us all feel very at ease. There were plenty of supplies within the cottage, including as many logs we would need, making our stay truly relaxing. Great location with Stratford-Upon-Avon town and Warwick a short drive away. The cottage itself was exceptionally clean, cosRead morey and everything inside of high quality. It had safe and secure parking too. Would highly recommend and definitely wish to return in the future. Hide

We had a really nice time at the cottage, it was really well laid out and was really cosy and welcoming. It was really well equipped, this was important to us because we like to prepare our own meals.

This is a wonderful cottage. Every room smells like a spa. There are lots of provisions left for you - coffee, milk, foil, oil, etc. and a few treats. Location wise its about 15 mins drive to Stratford upon Avon. We stayed in on our second day and enjoyed a long bath and the comforts of the cottage.

This cottage is very clean and comfortable. It is central to visit most of the attractions in the Cotswolds. The community pub is walking distance which serves good pub food. As soon as you arrive at the Cowshed you feel relaxed and at home, Julie the owner is just lovely nothing is a bother to her. I cant wait to return.
