Standing in beautiful solitude, surrounded by glorious rolling countryside on the Alscot Estate, this elegant rural escape offers a fabulous holiday home for up to 12 guests. Step inside and you'll find a stunningly designed home with an abundance of character and original features, along with all the creature comforts needed, including a separate games room with a pool table. The outside is equally impressive with a huge swathe of south-facing gardens and a bubbling hot tub to enjoy. This is a place for games of croquet, summer picnics and alfresco dining surrounded by the most wonderful views, then as night falls, slip into the hot tub for a little stargazing. The secluded location is idyllic, the surroundings quintessentially rural, yet you are only 3 miles from the vibrant town of Stratford-upon-Avon and myriad attractions.
