First impression was lovely but within minutes we discovered that it was very dark on the ground floor as the only daylight coming in was from the French doors so all of the lights needed to be on all day. It was tastefully decorated but the furniture was very tired especially the sofa ( quiet stained) also the kitchen tap dripped permanently. Hopefully you won't need to watch the tv as it only works on some channels and even those sometimes go off if you walk past the tv , the remote had duck tape holding the batteries in ( we did find the battery cover down the side of the sofa so we replaced it) most of the buttons have worn away on the remote so it was hard to know what we were doing .im not sure when the lodge last had a thorough clean as there were cobwebs and spiders everywhere also there was an empty wine bottle on the floor next to the bed ( we cleaned a lot away ) . Upstairs is very light and airy considering the size and the bed linens were lovely and clean and the furniture was perfectly acceptable. Things to be aware of in the bathroom are a very low ceiling over the sink ( we both banged our heads trying to clean teeth) not sure what the black stuff was behind the taps in the sink . Try not to open the shower screen as it looks like it's about to fall off , if you're under 5ft tall you'll be able to shower but if you're taller like us you are going to bang your head because of the slope in the ceiling ,don't touch the hot tap in the bath as it's not attached to the bath , bath doesn't drain so well so when you have a shower your feet get a bath , and the toilet seat isn't keen on staying up . Outside in the driveway it's a bit of a faf to get parked sometimes as there's lots of cars coming and going ( we think the owner runs another business from the summer house in their garden which incidentally is right opposite the not so private decked area ( feels like being behind bars and on display ) the main road past alveston lodge ( loxley road) is a racetrack for motorists so be aware when trying to pull out ! . Mrs miller seemed very nice on the couple of occasions we spoke to her and did apologise to us for us having to move our car when we couldn't get parked . Our welcome pack consisted of a loaf of bread that expired the day we arrived ( sept 1st) a pint of milk and some shortbread . We did leave a day early as we had hoped for a relaxing week but it was so noisy and dark and as my partner is recovering from cancer we had hoped to just chill but it wasn't meant to be . The pictures on cottages.com are accurate but well chosen to avoid seeing the sloping ceilings and tired furniture. We won't return to alveston lodge especially as it was almost £550 for the week , Iain Taylor Stowmarket Suffolk…

the compact "cottage" was a great base for stratford upon avon and warwickshire. However the bedrooms are small and not so bijou, the second bedroom being accessed from the first. The biggest disappointment was the water temperature. I like Hot Hot Hot when it comes to showering and a week of only just aired water was a real let down. . We did not do much in the way of cooking but the kitchen was reasonably equipped for what we did.

Your first impression of the property is very nice. But . The furniture is tired and needs cleaning,the kitchen is ill equipped ,needed to go out and buy a potatoe masher and ladle . Your decking area is very private but you will get noise from the owners children ( should have taken warning when I saw a trampoline and goal posts in the garden ). Felt we were invading someones home life. The one good thing it was very handy for Stratford upon Avon and Warwick . Mike & Julie

What a fantastic week we have just had at Alveston Pastures cottage, everything we needed even had a welcome pack which came in very handy. We had a very warm welcome, it was so nice to be near Stratford but in the countryside too. We will definitely be back.

Accommodation is lovely and very clean and comfortable and lovely views of the rolling countryside. Lovely big bedroom with a big comfortable bed. Wardrobe and draw space is plenty enough for a weeks stay. 2nd bedroom was even ideal for adults to sleep (even with the sloping roof). Bathroom very spacious and plenty of hot water. Very good location for surrounding areas, Stratford Upon Avon 5 minutes drive, Warwick Castle 20 minutes drive and Blenheim Palace 50 minutes drive all worth a visit. Lovely big market on Saturday at Wellsbourne airfield which is only a 5 minute drive. Weather was great and had a fabulous time and we will be back to stay again. Noticed comments from previous visitors and yes it is a self catering holiday, so like myself take your own bin bags and don't take advantage of the owner living next door. (if they didn't you would have to go the shop to buy your own bin bags) what is not mentioned the owner provides on arrival milk, bread, butter, biscuits and a lovely bottle of wine and also does leave an extra bin bag. Lovely owners with very good customers service. Shower does have a sloping roof but I am 5ft 6 and my partner is 6ft and we both managed fine. Some people love to moan and you can't please everyone therefore in my option it is a lovely place and well worth a visit.…

Place was clean and tidy. Advertised as two bedrooms.second bedroom is little more than an afterthought, tiny room with a sloping roof, barely suitable for children, very cramped. No wardrobe. Even children need somewhere for clothes. Cold showers for two days, heating oil ordered but not arrived. Eventually sorted, wine and chocolates as compensation. The worst part. Asked the owner for a bin bag. We were told that " I'm not obliged to give you one, it's self catering, you should buy your own". Remember, we paid £500 to stay here for a week. Owner needs lessons in " customer service". So, if you're thinking of staying here, don't forget to bring bin bags, heating oil, and wardrobes. Noisy kids there too.

After searching for hotels in Startford Upon Avon to visit friends for a week we came across Alveston Pastures cottage. With a 7 month old baby this seemed ideal. After staying with our baby in hotels in the past, which always proved to be a stressful experience we though it would be nice to try something with more home comforts. We were so surprised how modern and luxurious this property was making it a stress free time with such a small baby. They provided a high chair, travel cot and bedding. The cottage is spacious, clean, modern with amazing views! I even had a complimentary pair of slippers! Startford town centre is literally a 5 minute drive away with plenty of parking. Startford park is really pretty for a stroll with a pushchair and an icecream along the way. We can't recommend this cottage enough, especially for peolpe with young families. We will certainly be back in the near future! Thanks for a great stay!…

What an enjoyable week! When we arrived at the accommodation I immediately felt comfortable and at home and was very impressed with the cleanliness and furnishings throughout the cottage. The thoughtful owners, who live next door had provided us with a welcome pack of bread, milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. They had also provided bathroom towels, slippers, a selection of toiletries in the bathroom and a hairdryer. The views from the cottage are stunning and the location whilst peaceful is ideal for visiting the historic and beautiful town of Stratford on Avon (only a 5-10 min drive away). We also enjoyed visiting the idillyic Cotswold villages (which are approx a half hours drive away) and the impressive Warwick Castle, again easily accessible, about 5 miles from the cottage. Our 10 year old son's highlight of the week was meeting the neighbours! (the lovely owners and their children). He enjoyed playing with them some evenings and enjoyed their company so much is staying in touch with them, he was even invited to join them to eat one evening allowing my husband and I some welcome relaxtion time! I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough it has the perfect balance of being rural yet still having lots to do right on its doorstep, we came home relaxed and refreshed with our son also having enjoyed a fantasic week and asking when he can go back again! We certainly will be returning and recommending this accommodation to friends and family, (perfect for a couple with two children) the owners had thought of everything and the personal touches in the cottage were very much appreciated.…

We stayed at Alveston Pastures for a long weekend and found it a lovely experience. It is located about 3 miles from Stratford upon Avon. The views are incredible. The accommodation was above our expectations being clean, tidy with lovely furnishings. The owners were very friendly. There is so much to see and do around Stratford and the pretty Cotswold villages, Warwick Castle only 10 mins away. The beautiful National Trust property at Charlecote Park is actually within walking distance if you are feeling fit! We will certainly be returning and recommending to family and friends.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at Alveston Pastures. It hasn't been our best stay ever but was OK. I could say there was as many faults as there was positives regarding this accommodation. Firstly, it's an excellent concept - converting a 2 story double garage in to self catering accommodation adjacent to the owners home and making it a business. However, despite it being reasonably clean, we personally didn't find it as comfortable for our family as the photo's on the website appears it could/should be. The kitchenette, living area and dining area was on the ground floor leading out to an enclosed decking area with table and seating. Downstairs had a cubpoard area under the stairs for starage and boiler. It could be a hazard for some guests. I looked in here in an attempt to locate a hoover but to no avail. The fridge/freezer and microwave grill were somewhat grubby and aged. The small 2 seater setee (accompanied by a further 2 chairs) had rather a few too many stains. The dining table was also tired. Majority of the cutlery and crockery were grubby with either water marks or dried food stuffs therefore, we resorted to cleaning all items before using. We would have appreciated a slimline dishwasher in place of a Beaumatic wine cooler which seemed out of unneccesary especially as the kitchenette had a fridge. Upstairs was spotlessly clean. Although the baby cot had numerous stains and was unable to be locked securely in to position. Personally, the 2nd bedroom is not a bedroom. It is a very small space big enough to squeeze 2 single beds in to with a sloping roof with a velux window. Although this is a fantastic little space for toddlers (as our 3 year old found it very novel). This will need serious consideration if this area is required for persons a deal older. The bathroom was a bit difficult too. Both my husband and I are 5ft 4 inch and we found the sloping roof hard going i.e. unable to have a comfortable shower without banging your head on the slope. Unfortunately, on our 1st night to our horror at approx 2315 as we were retiring to bed... the bed collapsed! We proceeded to call the owners who offered to rectify the problem. This wasn't practical as our daughters were sleeping so we placed the mattress on the floor for the night. We noticed the bedroom furniture was the dreaded cheap and cheerful IKEA!!! Not what you expect for £125 pn. The following day, the bed was replaced along with a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine. It was of our opinion, a re-calculation of the charge was preferrable and we were returned £25. Overall, as much as Alveston Pastures was a pleasant stay, it wasn't a comfortable stay. At no point did we possess the desire to remain in the accommodation to relax. It was soley used as a base. In our opinion, £125 pn is a little steep for this accomodation. We would have been less dissapointed if it was £75-£90 pn. We certainly wouldn't return and this isn't just because of the bed incident. It just wasn't for us and our young family. Although the view was beautiful, it was clean and had majority of the mod cons you expect now a days. We would recommend Pinnock Lodge, Pinnock, Nr Winchcombe, North Cotswolds if it's plenty of space you require. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for £20 less pn despite getting so much more for your money.…
