Lantern Cottage

The perfect romantic hideaway, Lantern Cottage takes you back in time - but with 21st century amenities. Set in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, it's still only 15 minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon and ideally located for touring the Cotswolds. The space Lantern Cottage will take you back in time with its inglenook fireplace and huge woodburner (FREE logs), exposed beams, antiques and curtains drawn against the cold - or the heat. It's wooden beams everywhere apart from the kitchen, which has all the white goods you could want but in stainless steel! There are basic foodstuffs in their kitchen, including condiments and oils. There will be milk in the fridge and coffee, tea, biscuits and chocolate on the side. When the weather is fine, you can eat in the pretty walled garden under an umbrella to the sound of a wall fountain. Guest access You will have the cottage to yourself. It is set in a tiny hamlet of seven houses, and you reach the cottage from a very short (thirty paces) communal path. Just past the cottage, there is a shed with logs and kindling most of the year, which you're welcome to use, and a rotary airer. It's not locked, because we have country ways. But do lock the cottage up! Other things to note The cottage is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues or for babies and toddlers, as the very old staircase is twisting and has uneven steps. There is no garage or reserved parking, as the cottages easily pre-date cars, but you can park outside along The Bank. The most you will have to walk from your car, if you are unlucky, is three minutes. My minimum booking is three days except during July and August and over Christmas, when it is a week.
