  • A spacious, contemporary house, centrally located within the UK, perfect  for friends and families to get together
  • Situated in Southam, a small historic market town, close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa and Warwick Castle
  • Relax in the hot tub, after a day of sightseeing.
Property code: 75340

A beautiful home with a contemporary feel, this bolthole sits in the peaceful market town of Southam. Escape with your four-legged friend in tow for a holiday full of walking, stick-chasing and quality time spent with family and friends. Less than 30 miles away from the stunning Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, plan a day trip to explore the many quaint villages dotting the spectacular scenery and hunt down some tasty coffee and cake destinations to keep you going.

Step inside this delightful home, where you are welcomed by the bright fresh interior which will whisk you straight into holiday mode. Fill hungry tummies and rustle up tasty treats for all to enjoy in the kitchen, where you can enjoy a quick snack and a sit-down at the breakfast bar. When meal times arrive, cook up a storm and then dine in style at the table and make plans for the days to come. If the sun shines, head out onto the patio with a cold tipple or a mug of something warm and relax whilst furry friends stretch their legs on the enclosed lawn. As the night draws in, climb the stairs to the first floor where four bedrooms, one with a small double bed, await heavy heads and tired eyes. Rest up and wake feeling ready for the day ahead and the adventures it has in store.

Travel 23.5 miles to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare and home to Anne Hathaway’s cottage and garden, a must-visit for history enthusiasts. At 31 miles from your door, Blenheim Palace is slightly further afield but is well worth the journey to explore the stunning grounds and perhaps to savour a treat of afternoon tea in the orangery.

  • 4 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 double, 1 king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as a 2’6” twin on request) and 1 small double
  • 1 bathroom, 1 en-suite shower room and 1 separate WC
  • Electric oven and induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, Tassimo coffee machine and dishwasher

Great property with fantastic facilities. It's within walking distance of the town, shops, pubs and restaurants if you fancy a stroll. The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay including a lovely welcome hamper which is a great touch.

A perfect venue for a family get together when we were travelling from 3 different locations. The kitchen was so well equipped and it was wonderful to have a travel cot and safety Gates. Thank you for making my 60th birthday so memorable.

The cottage was ideally situated for the area we wanted to explore. It was well equipped for the seven of us staying there, and the hot tub was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely recommend and will be looking at their other properties with the idea of booking again next year.

Really enjoyed our stay. Very well equipped house and easy walking distance to village for pubs, restaurants and take aways. We had a very good meal at The Bowling Green and take away from Balti Hut. Hot tub was excellent and we were intrigued by the heating system.
