About this property

Canalside cottage situated on edge of Wilmcote village

  • 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 washing machine/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, a public house and St. Andrews Church.

What a lovely cottage. It’s in a beautiful setting by the canal. Very easy to find with the owners instructions. The cottage was very clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The owners dog and the wildlife made our day. We highly recommend this cottage.

Our second stay here, this time with friends. Just perfect. Immaculately clean, so comfortable and well equipped. Amazingly beautiful location and very private. Wonderful canal side walks on the doorstep. We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and this one surpasses them all. There are so many places to visit in the area too. We had lovely meals at The View and The Bell , Welford on Avon. Several NT properties nearby. All in all, a wonderful few days. Thank you, Liz

Wharf Stables is a delightful little cottage by the canal. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket of goodies and it had plenty of supplies of toiletries. Spotlessly clean and warm with lovely comfy beds. We met Liz several times who was very friendly and helpful. The swans, rabbits and squirrels were fun to watch. Lots of places to visit and walk close by made it the perfect location to stay.

Layout perfect with super king on suite bedroom at one end and a King on suite bedroom at the other end with the lounge / diner / kitchen in the centre so ideal for 2 couples with a separation zone.

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.

A little piece of heaven.

Picturesque location right on the canal. Peaceful and quiet. Lots of wildlife. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Wonderful walks along the canal. Handy train 5 mins walk away. Husband enjoyed the fishing. Wish we’d booked another week.
