Enjoying an idyllic location just a couple of miles from the picturesque village of Bidford-on-Avon, this cosy property was built as a calving pen and has been stylishly updated to make a fantastic holiday retreat for couples and smaller families. Offering airy accommodation for up to four guests, there's plenty of space for a pair of four-legged friends to come along and experience the glorious Warwickshire countryside. Within easy reach of the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, this tranquil, single-level hideaway features characterful timber beams set in the vaulted ceiling and has been tastefully furnished and beautifully decorated throughout.

Entering this charming lodge, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has atmospheric beams, a cosy lounge, a sociable central dining table and a handsome, fully equipped kitchen, providing a fantastic space for you to unwind after a wonderful day. When it's time to turn in for the night, you will have a choice of two delightful double bedrooms with wooden beams. The accommodation is rounded off with an invigorating and stylish shower room. Heading outside, the peaceful and enclosed patio space is ideal for sitting back, dining alfresco and taking in the views with your pets sitting by your side.

Both Bidford-on-Avon (2 miles) and Welford-on-Avon (2.5 miles) have a range of fantastic pubs, cafes, shops and restaurants, with miles of dog-friendly walks along the river and through the tranquil countryside.

The cottage was poorly presented and appeared not to be that clean. The sofa is old and worn you actually end up sitting on the wooden frame which was not relaxing or comfy. The shower needs replacing. Clock on wall did not work. Outside needed some TLC just to tidy and make it more presentable. Poor value for the money paid.
