The Central England / Cotswolds / Warwickshire region

Warwickshire has many contrasting towns and villages and is covered in historical Castles, Churches and Stately homes. Traditional market towns dot the picturesque countryside. One can spend the day visiting a multitude of museums and art galleries or hunting for antiques, take lunch in a country pub and then head to one of many fine restaurants, pubs or theatres in the evening. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a round at many fine golf courses or spend an evening at Stratford upon Avon or Warwick race course.

The Lapworth area

Lapworth village lies in the Birmingham green belt and on the junction of two canals, the Stratford Canal and the Grand Union Canal.

The village is strongly associated with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, as the charismatic leader of the plotters, Robert Catesby, was born and lived here. His tomb is in Lapworth Church.

There are two National Trust properties close to Lapworth, the historic houses of Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House. Another fine house, Wroxall Abbey, country seat of Sir Christopher Wren also lies close, as well as the peaceful tranquility of Hay Wood, owned by the Foresty Commission.

Lapworth is a popular area for cuisine and has many 'gastro-pubs' including The Boot, The Navigation and the Fleur-de-Lys.

“Could ask for nothing better” I am a bit late writing this report but that in no way reflects negatively on the quality of this accommodation. We spent a fabulous Easter weekend here with our grown up family. The rooms are... more

“Beautiful cottage with superb location” I'm always slightly cautious when people describe properties as 'hidden gems' - but my friends and I very much enjoyed Bridge Cottage and felt this was definitely the case. The owner, Glen, was friendly and communicated well with us and the property certainly exceeded our expectations. The setting is right by a lovely section of canal, so there are great walks from the doorstep. The gardens are ideal for BBQ's and bikes are also provided to explore. We did a walk from the house, which passed through a local National Trust property. What sets this cottage apart for us was the modern and large kitchen and living room with large plasma TV, Bose sound and Sky + for rainy days. Add to this a lovely master and second bedroom, the former having a large wet room and it really is a lovely place to unwind for a holiday. The local pub (the Boot Inn) was lovely, albeit pricey, for a meal out and there is a shop close by for the essentials. Overall - definitely recommended.

“Amazing accommodation lovely place” The house was stunning so much room an plenty of space and so well stocked with kitchen ware and tea and coffee etc... it was the little things and attention to detail that made it so heavenly. Each of the bedrooms had a different feel and the 2 lounges gave different places to relax one more quaint and cottage the other fully equipped with sky tv on a large screen The walks around the area were lovely we visited the national trust properties which were really good fun and had activities for kids which kept some of the less mature of us amused while we learnt more about the area. The only criticisms I could possibly come up with is perhaps instructions for the coffee machine?! but the fact there was a proper coffee machine was so brilliant and we figured it out in the end. Oh and if you arrive when it is dark take a torch or ull struggle to get in!

“Amazing!” Fantastic cottage, wanted for nothing. Would love to come back in summer. Position on the canal was excellant for walks. Lapworth is a great centre for visiting Shakespeare country.

“a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location” A fantastic place to spend a holiday. The cottage is beautiful and the location next to the canal makes it very special. The cottage is extremely spacious with a very homely feel. We particularly enjoyed the Bose sound sytem throughout the house and the lovely big kitchen!Our girls loved watching the boats going up and down the locks from the safety of the back garden! We were all sad to leave and plan to come back next year.

“A lovely cottage in a great location.” We would certainly recommend the cottage, as it has everything in spades!! Great location for walking, watching the canal boats moving through the locks and just chilling with a glass of wine. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable.

“A delightful short break” My wife and I booked a 4 night break at Bridge Cottage and took 4 friends as a thankyou for previous breaks at their French holiday home. We had a great time and everything was exactly as we would have hoped and promised on the website. The cottage is spacious and very well appointed with plenty of useful information. We enjoyed the banter with the friendly passing boaters and had some great canal walks, taking in several great gastro pubs. Great location which amazed our friends who had no prior experience of Warwickshire. Thoroughly recommended and would book again.

“Beautiful Cottage” We stayed at Brisge Cottage for the weekend and was impressed with how it was presented and the amenities available. The cottage is situated right next to the canal between 2 locks and you can sit in the garden and watch the boats go through the locks. The village is small but there are great pubs (for food and drinking) within walking distance of the cottage. The accomodation is presented beautifully with an amazing kitchen, characterful sitting room with fireplace as well as a more modern room with great flat screen tv, and sound system that can be pumped around the house. There were six of us statying and we fitted very comfortably with out feeling on top of each other. Bathrooms were modern, luxurious and the bath was huge. The owners also put us in contact with various people who could offer us some extras for our stay such as catering and spa treatments; although in the end we decided not to use these services it was great to be able to have these available if required.

“Just Fantastic...” ...even the gorgeous pictures didn't do it justice, this cottage is certainly a boutique bolt hole. I stayed with my husband and two young sons for a short break. We enjoyed walks along the canal, food at the amazing Boot Inn and when the weather turned grey we snuggled up in front of the home cinema for a family film. The sons enjoyed watching the canal boats come past and helped passing holiday makers with the locks, the cottage itself is wonderfully spacious, even for six. I'm already planning a return trip for a girlie weekend and will definitely return in the future for a longer family stay.
