A footpath leading to the delightful village of Bidford on Avon passes in front of the cottage (1 mile) with its shops, pubs and a supermarket. If one carries on over the bridge, a further mile, will bring you to a great little village pub the Cottage of Content at Barton. Cheerful and welcoming! In the other direction a path rises up above the village and can be followed to the delightful village of Cleeve Prior. There you will find a beautiful 15th century church and equally old pub, The Kings Arms. With its beams, log fires, real ale and great food it is everyone's idea of an English Country Pub. There is a quiet route through the lanes to the Stratford Greenway which give cycle access to Stratford on Avon. The River Avon itself is only a few hundred metres walk and children delight in helping the boats navigate the lock at Marlcliff. Some guests even do a spot of fishing. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a village ### Things to do - Golf ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63860000/63859500/63859445/c32ac5ed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Carol Cottage Just Off The High Street Chipping Campden - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 86 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=63859445&PinnedHotelID=63859445&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33586000/33585936/e2ab1261.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Delightful stone cottage in the heart of Chipping Campden Chipping Campden - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 82 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=33585936&PinnedHotelID=33585936&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99780000/99775200/99775122/37f34ef6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cotswolds heaven, feed the alpacas and relax in luxury cottage with hot tub Stratford-upon-Avon - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 110 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=99775122&PinnedHotelID=99775122&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75260000/75256900/75256827/7cbc247a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Converted Stable Barn sleeping 6 people in 3 bedrooms.
