"The weather was dreadful so it was great having such a nice place to stay! As previous entries have written – it is all about the little things and the comfort afforded by the house and the care of the owners. It’s a very nice house – our boys wanted to stay here preferring it to our place in Guernsey – but at least the sun shines there!
Many thanks."
Linda & Paul. Guernsey (August 2008)

"A really wonderful week! First of all we appreciated your warm welcome on the day of our arrival; you took care of us giving advice and helping to find activities for the children. We were very pleased to find such a clean and comfortable place, we felt at home, sincerely, and it was perfect with the garden and access to the park. A place to be commended for the quietness and above all your availability to answer questions through mails and sms. We will definitely come back next year!."
Remy, Nicolas, Diane, Mathilde and Loic. Monaco (August 2008)

Andrea, Russell and Family, Cumbria, England (August 2008)

"What a comfortable home! What a lot of details we could appreciate. Then it's nice to walk from the garden and follow the River Avon and being surprised by the colours of nature and sky at the end of the day. It is very agreeable for the children to play in the garden and practice tennis close to home. Each time it is a great pleasure to live in your lovely home and you do so much in order that we feel very well"
Beatrice, Philippe et les enfants, Le Mans, France (Feb & Aug 2008)

"We had a great holiday in Stratford - although you could have provided better weather for us! Yew Tree Cottage, on the other hand, provided everything we could have wanted. There wasn't a single thing we needed that wasn't there. It was a real home from home, with a marvellous location and a range of facilities that made our stay a total pleasure. The friendliness with which we were received was an added bonus. We would love to return and would recommend the cottage without hesitation."
Flora Smith, Paisley, Scotland (July 2008)

"Very nice home and a warm welcome. It was very clean and fully equiped. Great location, so convenient for everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation time in Stratford and would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for providing us with a home away from home."
Richard Yates and Family, Montreal, Canada (July 2008)

"The house was certainly a home from home with everything we could have needed. This house is immaculate and there were no nasty surprises- everything works perfectly. Thank you for letting us share your holiday home - we hope to come back soon."
The Rennisons, Sunderland, England (July 2008)

"Thank you so much. Because of your lovely house we could enjoy Shakespeare more than ever. We would like to come back when the RSC is re-built again. Meanwhile all the best and many happy regards."
Paul & Ali de Beurs, The Netherlands (June 2008)

"It's all in the details - some cream in the refrigerator, coffee, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and laundry detergent! I walk in and within a few moments I know that a home was prepared for me. Comfortable beds, linens, all new and crisp.
Location, location, location as we say in the US. What a spot! But a few minutes walk to the center of town, yet off the beaten path, quiet, a place to play (nice yard for the children), study and relax. I do not normally include my family when bringing students abroad. Having found this gem I must rethink my habit. Thank you."
Eduardo, Washington State, USA (May 2008)

"Thank you Elaine - we have been very comfortable here - you have thought of everything! We have had a great week."
