Pool Meadow cottage - Knollands Farm
Enjoying panoramic views, this sympathetically converted barn is outstandingly comfortable, with ornamental brick fireplace in the living room and is ideally placed for relaxing or exploring. Set in 50 acres of grounds which boast a wealth of wildlife, it is close to the owners home, enjoying its own small garden and patio. The delightful market town of Shipston on Stour (1 mile away) offers shops and an excellent choice of inns and restaurants, Shakespeare's Stratford and the village of Chipping Campden are both within 20 minutes by car. Warwick Castle, Stow-on-the-Wold and NT properties are also nearby. Whilst the cottage has a quiet, rural setting, it benefits from a Fibre broadband internet connection to keep guests “connected”.

Great place to stay
We had a lovely week here - it's a splendid, quiet, comfortable place to stay, with a most helpful and friendly host. The owners are just around the corner if needed but the cottage is completely self-contained and private. It has all the equipment we needed and more and even had sufficient power points!

I rented this property for my elderly parents as they were visiting me. They thoroughly enjoyed it and said they would stay again. They are in their mid to late 70's.

Relaxing, peaceful lovely views
Host very friendly, showed us around garden area when we first arrived, including showing us Hercules , a baby lamb abandoned by its mum so being hand reared by them, then left us to our own devices but where near by if needed. Accomodation was lovely with great views, and visits from all kinds of birds and rabbits and hares and we even seen deers on a couple of occasions . The local village has a handfull of shops and plenty of places to go for an evening meal. Stratford upon Avon and Banbury nice places for a visit. Also the car museum was a great day out. We will be back.

A super week at Pool Meadow Cottage.
Helpful directions from Tom enabled me to easily locate the property on the road. It is then down a private driveway and consequently well away from the road and thus Pool Meadow Cottage is a haven of peace and tranquility. Everything that one could require is there in the property and the patio area with table and chairs looks across the open fields. Parking the car was a delight as you are able to park close to the entrance door of the property so unloading and then reloading all the holiday gear is very easy.
Three of us had a seven nights stay which we all thoroughly enjoyed, my wife and I slept soundly in the very comfortable bed.
We live in a hard water area and loved the soft water in this location, it does make for a lovely cup of tea !
I thoroughly recommend Pool Meadow Cottage as somewhere to stay in that area. Close to Banbury and also Stratford upon Avon and Bourton on the Water are all within easy driving distance.
Tom, the host responded swiftly when I initially booked the property and kindly acknowledged receipt of my payment, he gave clear directions over the phone a couple of days prior to our arrival and was on hand to greet us when we arrived and also when it was time for us to make our way home.
Without question I would stay at Pool Meadow Cottage again if I need to re-visit the area.

Perfect retreat
Had a lovely Easter break. The accommodation is well-established and, as such, caters for all requirements as a home away from home. The location is peaceful yet just a short drive from local amenities and shops, and has excellent access to many Cotswolds attractions and towns. The host was helpful, friendly and unobtrusive, whilst the accommodation offered privacy and a lovely view with parking right outside the door. Highly recommended.

Lovely, spacious cottage in peaceful, perfect location
The cottage is an ideal base to explore Central England. Stratford Upon Avon is only 10 miles away, Oxford is reachable in less than one hour and Banbury station which took us to London on the frequent train service is a half an hour drive. Also the Cotswolds are literally just down the road.
The cottage is a perfect base, so after a hard day touring and battling the crowds you can enjoy complete peace and quiet in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside.
The cottage is spacious, well equipped and well maintained.
We really enjoyed our five nights stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.
