Overview

Holly Tree Cottage is situated in Pathlow,a small hamlet in the heart of Shakespeare country just three miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon.

The cottage dates back to the 17th century with later additions including Victorian and present day. The period charm of the beamed ceilings, antique furnishings, paintings, ornaments and the touch of fresh flowers, combine with the modern comforts to create a feeling of warmth and friendliness.

 

Accommodation Details

The cottage provides double, twin and family accommodation with en suite and private facilities, televisions, radio/alarms, hair dryers, books, magazines and hospitality trays. There is also a comfortable lounge. Hearty traditional breakfasts are prepared on the Aga cooker.

The freshly prepared fruit salad and home made preserves are a speciality. Vegetarian dishes and Continental breakfasts are also available and all are served in the attractive beamed dining room.

The picturesque gardens include a patio made with large local stone slabs originally from barns belonging to a neighbouring farm and a deep well which provided the water in times gone by. Tables and umbrellas in sunny spots or shady places, with water features splashing, provide areas to just sit and relax, enjoy a cup of tea and a chat, or a drink or maybe a picnic. The rural surroundings beyond create stunning views over the countryside into the distance.

Leaflets, maps and local information are available and we offer you a very warm welcome.
