• "Midsummer Cottage is in a great location, it’s so close to the centre of town, it’s a few minutes’ walk to the river, the RSC and there’s lots of bars and restaurants close by."

  Alan, our host, was excellent, he organised the parking permit for us and his communication was great. The cottage itself is very comfortable, it has everything we needed for a weekend break. We’d highly recommend it.

  So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, close to everything and was very well equipped."

  Just ensure the owner has your car registration number to register for the parking permit if you need one. Owners very helpful. Highly recommended and excellent value.

• "There was ample space for three adults."

  The amenities were nice, and we appreciate and enjoy that the owners left for us as guests. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we were able to prepare several meals for dine-in. The location in Stratford-Upon-Avon is top notch. A short walk of a couple blocks took us in the city centre or train station. We did not regret being car-less. There is a mustiness in the downstairs family room, so allergy sufferers should be prepared. (I wore a mask). It was warm that week without fans, and traffic and neighbor noise during the evenings can be distracting. Overall, though, most tourists will enjoy their experience here, and we recommend this property with just a few cautions.

  Many thanks for your feedback. Midsummer Cottage is a mid 1800's terrace in the middle of town. A level of traffic and neighbourhood noise is to be expected but we are sorry that you found this distracting. We do provide a floor standing fan and it is quite safe to open windows and doors during the day. We always offer our ongoing support throughout our guests stay and encourage guests to contact us so that we can assist with issues wherever possible. Property Owner

• "The property was very clean and comfortable."

  It was very close to the town centre so perfect for us - we parked the car and never used it again until we left! There was a problem with the shower which the owner immediately sorted for us. The cottage would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues as the stairs are steep, and no good for small children as there is no bathtub. But it was very warm and comfortable.

  Immaculately clean, perfect location within walking distance of Stratford town centre. Well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. We really appreciated the welcome pack and parking permits and had no problem parking. The local tips were welcome too. We enjoyed fresh sourdough bread & croissants from Mor bakery nearby. Will definitely book again.

  It was just round the corner from the lovely pedestrian area, close to the railway station and bus stops. The house is light and airy with a little garden to be able to sit outside. Bundles of kitchen equipment, and appliances. Spotlessly clean.

• "The property itself was lovely and very, very clean."

  It was very well located, and with parking, which is a must in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a very quick and easy walk into the town centre, with everything that you might need on the doorstep. Thank you to the owners for the welcome gifts and for supplying essentials such as salt, pepper, washing up liquid etc. these were very much appreciated. However, the beds were very uncomfortable. Sadly, we all found it very difficult to sleep because of them and ended up quite grumpy as a result. Such a shame, as it was the only thing that let the property down.

  We are really sorry that you found the beds uncomfortable, we do not usually get this feedback. In fact previous guest feedback stated 'Cottage clean and beds comfortable - would recommend for location and comfort'. We will investigate further. Property Owner

  Very impressive presentation. Nice crockery and cutlery, decent mugs for a change! Great to park at the back of the property, very convenient for shops and good pubs. The street looks a bit dumpy. But is friendly. Very close to the hospital. With many walking wounded passing by! All in all was a great and happy holiday home.

• "The property was so convenient for accessing Stratford upon Avon!"

  We only used the car once. It was so lovely to just saunter into the town whenever we felt like it. The property was spotless including the toilets/bathroom, something that is very high up my list of priorities. I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere cleaner. For a small property it is very well equipped. It would be nice to have had another couple of chopping boards and a big serving spoon in the kitchen, but really that was all I noticed and most people probably eat out more than us anyway. All the utensils, cutlery, crockery was clean and seemingly new (I loved the mugs!). It's a compact property but it's been done with thought and taste. I'd definitely stay there again if I were visiting Stratford upon Avon again.

  So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Midsummer Cottage and thank you for your very positive feedback which is very much appreciated. Property Owner

  There was a Christmas present and card waiting for us as well as Christmas crackers and a tree with lights. The owners, Alan and Moira, had also left provisions including a bottle of wine. We have been staying in holiday cottages for over twenty five years and have never known owners make so much effort to make guests feel welcome. The cottage was also tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. We were able to park directly outside the property using the permit provided.

• "Stopped at Midsummer Cottage for 3 nights to spend time at the Christmas Market and I must say the cottage was top class."

  Location was fantastic and close to all amenities. Beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Nothing was too much bother and as husband has bad chest and sleeps almost sitting up extra pillows were put in but to be honest we never needed as the ones supplied were such good quality and would have been sufficient. We never cooked in the cottage but if we had wanted to everything was supplied. We will return as it was so great and I highly recommend to my friends and family. I spoke to Alan a couple of times and nothing was too much trouble. Welcome pack was lovely and much appreciated. Thank you for a great stay. We will return.

  We found it bright and welcoming as well as spotlessly clean. The owners had thought of everything you might need during your stay, as well as leaving several items of food and drink to get your holiday started. All very much appreciated by us. The property is very close to the town centre, just a few minutes walk. This was great as we left the car parked up for the whole 4 days. Parking permits are provided too! Apart from exploring the town centre and the obvious local attractions we had a couple of lovely walks along the river Avon, including one to Weston on Avon, then back along the disused railway track/cycleway. Stratford upon Avon is a lovely town to visit with lots of independent shops and thriving markets, so plenty to do. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would certainly book it again if returning to the area.
