You'll find this 1930s home nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, just a mile away from Stratford-upon-Avon's bustling town centre. Though this place has plenty of period charm, the modern upgrades are what steal the show – think underfloor heating in the kitchen, an electric fireplace with mood lighting and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead straight into the suntrap of a garden. Perfect for afternoon barbecues and alfresco evening cocktails, the garden's south-facing outlook means you'll always have the light. Inside, the glossy kitchen is sure to excite home chefs. Rustle up a mouthwatering meal to share around the dining table, followed by a family board game or two. End the evening in the lounge, listening to music on the Bluetooth speaker or playing on the Xbox while the fire crackles. To make your stay even more special, your host can help you arrange extras like at-home massages, cooking classes and cider tastings. This town is famous for being the birthplace of the Bard, and The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, The Shakespeare Museum and the namesake river are all reachable on foot. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs to tickle your fancy in the centre, but for... a change of scenery, hop in the car and visit Warwick's famous castle – it's only a twenty-minute drive.

Local guide
