A very quiet location and close to the motorway. A great location for Stratford upon Avon, Cadburys world and Warwick Castle, all around 30 minutes drive.

lovely setting close to lots of places to see and things to do
We stayed with a friend for a long weekend visiting Stratford and local National Trust properties. The house was comfortable and had plenty of space for us. The gateleg table was a bit awkward , but big enough for board games and we used it for all our meals. The kitchen was well equipped, and the local co-op had everything we needed. The host was very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay a lot.

Couldn’t be better
We stayed in Lily Cottage for three nights. My husband and I used the upstairs spacious double bedroom with very comfortable extra wide bed. Bathroom has full bath (no shower).The ground floor bedroom with en suite was perfect for my disabled sister. Toilet has very useful supporting bar. Very kind and helpful hosts,Stephanie and her mother Pam, made our stay really enjoyable. All set in a wonderful rural location. I couldn’t recommend Irelands Farm cottages more highly.

Peaceful and Welcoming (Lily Cottage)
As a family of two adults and three children, we stayed at Irelands Farm Cottages in Lily Cottage for a long weekend whilst attending a wedding. We loved our time in the cottage and had a relaxing few days away. The cottage is homely and welcoming and Stephanie is an incredibly friendly and accommodating host, quick to sort any issues. We stayed as a family, including three under 5s. There was provision of a high chair and travel cot but just to note the cottage isn’t kitted out for children. Our children were somewhat restless and the cottage would benefit from having just a couple of books and games added for entertainment, whether on rainy days or in the mornings/evenings. The only downside of our stay was that the mattress in the double bedroom was incredibly uncomfortable. We stayed in Lily cottage as it’s kitted out for those with mobility issues, which was fantastic for the bathroom (a difficult find with holiday cottages!) but the mattress caused the chronic pain in my back to flare up badly and my husband too complained of a bad back after a couple of nights. Apart from that little negative, we had a wonderful time and loved our stay, thank you!

Charming lily cottage.
We are a family of 5 and it was perfect. Beautiful location, everything provided that we needed. Footpaths into Henley for country walks whilst still close to motorways for easy access elsewhere. We had a trip to the Black country museum and still got back to have tea in the garden of the cottage :)
