The Central England / Cotswolds / Warwickshire region

The old market town of Stratford-upon-Avon (4.5 miles) , once the home of the great bard William Shakespeare is full of history and culture. The lovely homes of Shakespeare and his family are superb to visit. Each telling their unique story. In Wilmcote, Mary Ardens Farm (Shakespeares mother) has costumed guides demonstrating life in the 16th. cent. Rare farm animals and the thrill of Falconry displays complete the experience. The magic of Shakespears plays are produced nightly in the theatre by the riverside.
Lovely walks are there following the river and canal. Or visit the 15th/17th. century thatched home of Anne Hathaway, set in magnificent gardens and woodland where guides there uniquely tell the story of Romance, wealth & hardship of the Hathaways who lived there almost 400 years.

The County of Warwick is home of the kingmaker, Warwick Castle, Englands finest medieval castle. Experience medieval jousting,or the horror of the dungeons and beautiful gardens to the river. A great day out. The town of Warwick also offers many memorable historic buildings/museums.

The Cotwold Hills with their mellow yellow stone cottages and typical English cottage gardens are a treat to explore by car or bus. The river Windrush gently flows through the streets of Bourton-on-the-Water & Lower Slaughter . Explore the lovely shops in Stow-on-the-Wold.Or travel over Cleeve Hill into Cheltenham with wonderful shops, regency buildings and parks.
Oxford is famous for its Colleges and churches. Take a sightseeing open top bus around the city and view the spirals from a height!

The City of Birmingham has a unique centre with Concert halls, Canal network, (take a boat trip to Seaworld) or dine out in one of the canal front cafes/restaurants. Wonderful selection of Museums and Art Galleries. Well worth a visit. By train is the best way from Stratford-upon-Avon. Takes you into the very heart.

The Stratford upon Avon / Cranhill area

Our local area is that of mainly farming with delightful little villages, some of which follow the River Avon. (Lots of lovely Black & White 'chocolate box' cottages so typical of old England.)

Cranhill, just a small hamlet but can boast its own Golfcourse (Bidford Grange 1/2 mile) -or l mile to the 19th.!
There is a large selection of Golf courses in the Stratford area. All within 10 miles.
Walks in the area take you around the local villages and beyond. Our private walk is just 1/2 mile (3.5 acres of old railway line) which leads to rights of way. We have a wealth of pubs and good restaurants in this area.

Bidford-on-Avon. 1.5 miles (Once described by Shakespeare as Drunken Bidford!) is a riverside village which has every facility you can mention including Doctors surgery, Dentist, & Shops.

Weekly markets take place in Stratord-upon-Avon, (Friday - general & Saturdays - farmers with fresh produce)
There are poetry & music festivals. Open topped bus tours take you around the town & out to Wilmcote on an optional tour of the Shakespeare properties.

National Trust properties & gardens are always a pleasure to visit.

Ragley Hall (3miles) a magnificent private mansion set in gardens and lakeside woodlands has the perfect backdrop to Music festivals and Concerts during the summer season. The house is worth visiting too!

“A real home from home” Genial hosts Excellent accommodation Peaceful location Plenty to do in the surrounding region Just what we need for retirement!

27 Jun 2011

“Feeling at home” We came earlier than expected on the arrival day, but it was no problem to move in. The accommodation got: • A very equipped kitchen, everything you can think about was in it.. • A bathroom with bath and a separate shower in the bedroom. • A private garden, but we could also use the garden of the owners who lives next door. The owners are very kind and helpful. We enjoyed watching al kind of birds who came to visit the private garden. We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed every day of it.
