Ryan
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay the garden was perfect to enjoy a full week of sun and is better than seen in the pictures. Plenty to do within short drives, including Charlecote Park, Stratford-Upon-Avon and other national trust places that are dog friendly. Local food is great at the Kings Head and The Folly, and would highly recommend a breakfast baguette from the Napton Village Store. Thank you.

Just as shown in the pictures with the open fields around and the lovely little patio and garden which was perfect for our dog to relax in, too. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and was very clean and tidy and the owners were easy to contact and very helpful if needed. We really enjoyed sitting by the log stove and cooking our meals in the compact well-equipped kitchen. The whole cottage was cosy and warm and the upstairs area was perfect for chilling and watching dvds (a nice little selection were available.) WiFi was great and the shower was good, too. We had not used a hot tub before, but are definitely converts! It was so nice to sit in and admire the views even though our weather was a bit mixed. Napton village stores was well stocked and had tasty veggie pasties and hot treats. It was a pleasant walk away (just a short bit of the main road to negotiate and then easy paths) and there were nice paths to discover around the village and up to the windmill. Also some lovely walks along the canal. Would definitely love to stay her again. Thank you so much.

There appeared to be mud splashes on the skirting boards and under the radiators which probably came from a dog/s. We had 2 dogs with us, but these marks were there on arrival, also we were lucky to have dry weather and our dogs were not allowed in the bedroom !
