Lying at the very heart of England, Warwickshire is best known as “Shakespeare’s County”. And taking a break in our holiday cottages in Warwickshire is the perfect way to explore the history of our greatest playwright. At Stratford-upon-Avon, you’ll find Shakespeare’s birthplace, the famous Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, where you can enjoy an outstanding performance of one of the great bard’s creations.
Our Warwickshire cottage holidays are also a great opportunity to visit the beautifully preserved Warwick Castle. This is one of the UK’s top visitor attractions, and a great family favourite, where key moments in the history of this great building are re-created. The gardens here are also very impressive. If you’re into antiques, then you’ll definitely want to take a stroll around Warwick with its many specialist antique shops.
Then there’s Kenilworth Castle, England’s largest castle ruins, and a major historic site. There’s a marvellous collection of paintings, china and furniture, not to mention some great facilities for children, at Ragley Hall, a fine palladian house near Alcester – another must see during your cottage holiday in Warwickshire. And with its fine Georgian and Victorian buildings, Royal Leamington Spa offers a touch of elegance as well as some top quality shopping.
