About this house rental
Wharf Stables sits in the grounds of the private residence known as 'The Wharf' alongside Stratford on Avon Navigation Canal in the village of Wilmcote. Mary Arden's House, where Shakespeare's mother lived, is one of the major attractions in the area and is situated some 400 metres from the holiday let.
The village is also conveniently situated for those wishing to explore the Cotswolds, Warwick, Kenilworth and surrounding areas, in addition to enjoying the Shakespearian experience in Stratford upon Avon. Warwick Castle is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Britain..
The holiday let is a conversion of an old stone stable block. It was originally used in early 19th century for keeping the ponies used for pulling the carts from the Wilmcote quarry to the quay.
The accommodation consists of 2 bedrooms, one king size bed, and a super king with an option to split to 2 singles. Both bedrooms have en-suites (one with a bath). The holiday let comes complete with necessary fixtures to make your stay enjoyable. Including wifi, dishwasher, 42 inch TV with freeview, radio with USB and bluetooth, freezer and washer/dryer. It is fully centrally heated with heated towel rails and gas effect stove.
Wilmcote has good access to Stratford and, if you wish, the train is 5 minutes walk away. Walk down the towpath or jump on the sightseeing bus that runs regularly between the Shakespearean tourist attractions.
There is a general store in the village, 2 public houses and St. Andrews Church.

We have stayed in many cottages and this was by far the best. Such an amazing location. Everything and more supplied to make a comfortable stay. Immaculately clean. A joy to return to after a day out. Beautifully renovated, so light and bright with lovely views from every window.

We rent a lot of properties for our holidays over the years and this is without doubt THE BEST.Situated down a quiet lane on the owner’s property and land next to the canal with views across the garden and trees.The interior is superb. Enter into lounge,diner, kitchen with two double bedrooms en-suite at each end of the cottage/bungalow. The beds and bed linen are very very good. Lovely thick towels.Kitchen has everything you need in top quality condition.Wilcote has great shop. The church despite being small has lots of historical Christian relics. Travel to Stratford upon Avon is easy. Bus/train/ park & ride.Recommend The View for coffee or lunch….just a couple miles up the road to Henley in Arden.

Peaceful location. Helpful owners. 'Bertie' the owners dog is nice and friendly. Welcome food basket and milk, a nice touch. The whole cottage well furnished. You can get to Stratford by the canal towpath or the local train service. The Stratford sites tour bus stops in the village on its circular route.
