A fairy-tale thatched cottage in the Cotswolds, your whole family is welcome to spend a holiday to remember here. And, as no holiday is ever complete without all the pack, your four-footed friend is invited, too. Sleeping four people and your dog, this property near Stratford-upon-Avon boasts comfort, style and a brilliant location. Relax, head to the town centre or venture further afield to uncover the secrets of the Cotswolds; the choice is yours.

Located within an historical hamlet, this picture-postcard cottage is charming to its core. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms (one double and one twin), it is ideally-sized for couples, friends and families. Offering plenty of nooks and spaces to find a quiet, cosy corner or come together over a board game, everyone can chat or relax as much as they please. Your dog will love snoozing in the warm sunroom, lapping up the sun and a tasty chew. Or perhaps he’ll prefer some tummy rubs in the lounge as you unwind after a day’s exploring. For the foodies among you, the well-equipped kitchen boasts traditional beams and plenty of amenities for cooking up a delicious repast. Tuck into meals around the dining table or head outside to the patio for some al fresco fine-dining in the private, enclosed garden.

With Stratford-upon-Avon’s centre just 1.5 miles away, you can enjoy a whole range of shops, pubs and eateries. Head to a dog-friendly café for a hot drink and slice of something sweet. Then pay a visit to Anne Hathaway’s (the wife of William Shakespeare) cottage, where dogs are welcome on leads. You can even visit the birthplace of Shakespeare himself with your dog.

We thoroughly enjoyed stopping in the authentic cottage which is in a great location and near enough to walk into town. We will be looking to stop there again in the not too distant future.

The authentic architecture of 300 years ago but still has most of todays comforts. It is walking distance to Anne Hathaways cottage. And in good weather is a good jumping off point for many beautiful walks. We were there during the winter weather, so we used Uber to go into town for shopping and museums and attractions. The cottage is very cozy andRead more had a good heating system. If youre visiting in the off-season, my advice is to be an early bird as many shops in town closed by 5 pm. Hide

Absolutely stunning location - perfect for walking into Stratford. The cottage has so much character, beautiful garden and conservatory which is where I spent a lot of time. It's smaller than it appears in the pictures and while I've stayed in other dog friendly cottages and had no issues with my allergies, I had to take an antihistamine daily hereRead more. The beds were very comfortable and the location so peaceful. Hide

!SELECTED!A !ENDOFSELECTED!Winters Tale was everything I hoped it would be at Xmas. The cottage was well equipped, cosy, very quaint and exceeded all our expectations, especially the doggy extras, Xmas decs and the welcome pack on arrival which was greatly appreciated! The cottage is ideally located within a hamlet, close to Anne Hathaway's cottagRead moree. There are plenty of easy walks nearby. We often walked into Shottery and stopped by at The Bell who were super friendly and welcomed dogs. A memorable stay Hide
