Conditions

This tenancy agreed with this Property is for a Holiday Let as mentioned in the Housing Act 1988 Schedule 1 paragraph 9 and the Guest acknowledges that this Agreement is not an assured tenancy.

Due to the age of the property the staircase may be a little steeper and have less head room than in a modern house and therefore very young children or the elderly should be accompanied up and down the stairs at all times.

For the comfort of all guests staying in the property, there is strictly no smoking in the property.

Well behaved pets may be allowed at the owners discretion but strictly only on the ground floor and in the enclosed garden and not on the furniture or upstairs.

There are candles around the property for decoration and to create ambience during bathing, dinner or relaxing. You may light the candles, however, and without exception, they must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult, if you exit the room, they must be extinguished. Unsupervised candles can cause fires.

Failure to observe house rules will result in the immediate forfeiture of your security deposit.

“Lovely cottage in fantastic location” Spent a great week in this truly lovely well equipped cottage. The location was brilliant with all amenities within walking distance - just park up the car and chill out. This property is really a... more

“Beautiful Cottage is Beautiful Location” We stayed for a weekend and didnt want to leave. Everything was so well thought through down to last detail and the owner was so helpful and nothing was too much. Looking at booking again for next year

“Excellent!” The cottage was wonderful for a relaxing break. The furniture was of high quality and the little extra touches included a welcome basket, luxury bathrobes, quality toiletries and there was milk, bread, tea, sugar and coffee on arrival (which isn't always the case with rental holiday homes). The property is very central to the town, being mere minutes walk away but situated in a quiet street. I cannot fault this rental in anyway and would highly recommend it without hesitation.

“What a beautiful house, surpassed all expectations!” The aim of our weekend stay at number 22, was 4 people (2 couples) to enjoy some time together away from our prospective homes. To enjoy stratford. Go out for meals/drinks etc. We wanted a quiet weekend away from the stresses and strains of daily life, and number 22 could not have been more perfect. Contact with the owner was regular and very easy. She could not do enough to ensure we had all of the information we required to ensure a pleasant stay. Upon arriving at this uttertly picturesque area, quaint little street, our excitement was difficult to hide. Parking was only for one car at the time we arrived, Which was taken by the couple we were staying with who had arrived earlier than my partner and I, but after a certain time we were able to move our own car to be situation outside number 22. Shops and local amenities were in walking distance, so there was no need to use our cars. The pictures from the website were stunning, and lived up to every expectation. Such careful attention to every detail was paid. The luxury bathroom was the highlight for me personally. It was like being at home, but better! A plethora of books and games to entertain all ages. TV and music (lots of CDS) so set any kind of mood you are after. Local area is beautiful and such a short walk into the town centre. We were lucky with the weather as well which simply added to this delightful house. The cleanliness was outstanding! 2 Bikes were there and available for our use, although we did not use them. The neighbouring houses were silent, and they only sign of life from them were a few items of washing on the line. Sunday morning greeted us with the beautiful sound of the church bells. They did continue for quite some time (possibly an hour or more) but this simply added to the whole experience. They were a welcome, calming addition to our weekend. Stratford is a beautiful town, consisting of lovely places to eat and drink. We attended a Ghost walk in a very old building which was amusing and informatiove of the local area. I highly reccommend number 22, and will 100% visit again. If peace and tranquility in a beautiful home is what you are after, it would be criminal to choose any where but Number 22.
