Reviews
 11 Oct 2011 |
We were married on Oct 2nd last year and after finding this cottage on the internet, decided to spend our honeymoon there. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised-the photos on the internet don't do it justice. It was a marvellous cottage full mod cons-everything you needed was here,even a polishing sponge for your shoes! A nice touch was the welcoming basket full of essentials plus a bottle of wine. We were so inpressed that shortly after returning home, we booked another break there this year to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. An extra bonus this year was the bottle of champagne with glasses plus an anniversary card from Craig and Lee (the owners). They have also recently installed Sky TV so that you can record any programmes whilst out exploring the lovely villages and countryside in the area. Craig and Lee have done a marvellous job in restoring this beautiful cottage and needless to say we will be returning again next year for a third time and we are thoroughly looking forward to it. |

This is our first stay in Stratford and feel very lucky to have chosen Harpe Cottage. Full marks to Lee and Craig for their beautiful cottage, where the attention to detail is amazing. The welcome hamper was great (even supplying Johns favourite wine) Memorable days out were Warwick Castle and walking along the canal into Stratford then visiting the amazing Butterfly Farm. We will definatly be back, hopefuly to see a Shakespeare play at the RSC.
