Holly Tree Cottage is situated in Pathlow,a small hamlet in the heart of Shakespeare country just three miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon.
The cottage dates back to the 17th century with later additions including Victorian and present day. The period charm of the beamed ceilings, antique furnishings, paintings, ornaments and the touch of fresh flowers, combine with the modern comforts to create a feeling of warmth and friendliness.
|
| The picturesque gardens include a patio lovingly created with large local stone slabs originally from barns belonging to a neighbouring farm and a deep well which provided the water in times gone by. | 
|  | Tables and umbrellas in sunny spots or shady places, with water features splashing, provide areas to just sit and relax, enjoy a cup of tea and a chat, or a drink or maybe a picnic. The rural surroundings beyond create stunning views over the countryside into the distance.
| The cottage provides double, twin and family accommodation with en suite and private facilities, televisions, radio/alarms, hair dryers, books, magazines and hospitality trays. There is also a comfortable lounge.
| 
|  | Hearty traditional breakfasts are prepared on
the Aga cooker. The freshly prepared fruit
salad and home made preserves are a speciality. Vegetarian dishes and Continental breakfasts
are also available and all are served in
the attractive beamed dining room.
There are superb shopping facilities and we can point you in the direction of Craft Centres, Antiques and Market places. The beautiful Cotswolds Villages and the Historic Cities of Oxford, Worcester and Coventry are all within easy reach and both the National Indoor Arena and Symphony Hall and the National Exhibition Centre and Royal Showground are only approximately half an hour away by car.
Stratford-upon-Avon itself offers the world renowned Shakespeare properties and theatres. Guided bus tours around the town and boat trips on the river are always attractive on sunny days. Nearby is the historic county town of Warwick with its magnificent mediaeval castle. There are many fine gardens and stately homes, including at least seven National Trust properties within half an hour's drive.
