Striking home IN Stratford-on-Avon, a stroll to all key attractions.Sleeps 14-15

Oak Cottage is a spacious family home located within a stroll of all Stratford-Upon-Avon’s main attractions, including the stunning waterfront, Royal ShakespeareTheatre, bars, restaurants, shopping and more. Comprising 6 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, a large kitchen/ family area, a separate formal dining room and separate study, there is ample space for larger groups to enjoy time together in beautiful surroundings. The main family sitting room opens onto mature gardens where guests have use of a top of the range Weber bbq for al fresco dining. The gardens are child friendly with football goal and there is a large selection of games and DVDs to suit all ages. We welcome well behaved family pets within the extensive wooden floor area downstairs.
The sleeping options are entirely flexible thanks largely to two lightweight double fold down beds plus one 'spare' single mattress, all of which can easily be moved to any room upstairs or downstairs to suit each party's requirements with capacity to sleep 15 in total. In addition there is also a baby travel cot and bedding as needed.

Lovely stay in Stratford home

The house was ideal for our two families meeting up for a birthday celebration. The location was great and walking distance to town centre. All rooms were neat and tidy. The living room area was so warm and relaxing with a log fire. The kitchen was very practical and we could all fit around the island when preparing and cooking food.

Excellent in parts

Oak Cottage is in a good location and the downstairs area great for socialising. The kitchen is so well stocked it made cooking easy. The large dining table can just about fit 12. The upstairs wasn’t quite as I’d expected. The room labelled as “two double beds” was one double bed and a small mattress, not really suitable for adults. The room labelled as a double bed and a single bed, was again a single mattress on the floor, as was another “single bed”. A few people found the duvets not warm enough (but appreciate this is personal taste).

Wonderful house well equiped with plenty of room for all.

Great place to invite friends and family for a big birthday party. 2 notes to make it even better, 1. Put the hair dryer in a bedroom or bathroom not an otterman in the kitchen! (One of the kids found it, but only after we borrowed one) 2 The house is delightfully free from notes, but recycling rules vary wildly over the country. A note of what sorting is required in Stratford and which days to put out which bins would be most useful.

Roomy house in Shottery

We were a party of 10 adults (4 couples and two singles) and enjoyed our two night stay at Oak Cottage. Downstairs is very roomy, where we could congregate as a group or find a quiet space. We snugly fitted round the formal dining room and filled the 4 double and 2 single bedrooms on the first floor. Well equipped kitchen and huge fridge freezer made catering very easy. It’s an easy walk of a mile into the town centre and we would really recommend a guided tour. Friendly pub Bell at Shottery less than 5 minutes walk away. Would recommend Oak Cottage but think that it would need to be a family group with small children to accommodate 12-15 people.

Very spacious house for family gathering. We are a family of seven adults and the house had plenty of room for more. The house is ideally situated in walking distance to Stratford’s town centre, yet far enough removed from crowded tourists. We had a lovely time.
