Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shirley

Riverside Cottage was perfect for a restful week away before my operation. The scenery was stunning and the location so peaceful. The dogs were happy as they could could come and go as they pleased as the garden was so secure. Everything you need for a break away was supplied and the host was a message away if you had any queries. The hottub was an added bonus and was made the most of throughout the week!! A most enjoyable break, we will definitely be back

Lovely little place with beautiful views, very peaceful (we hardly saw another human the whole time we were there). The little added touches were lovely. It was a little smaller than we thought it would be, but we hadn’t done a glamping pod before so I guess we didn’t know what to really expect. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the hot tub on the evenings, definitely an added bonus!! And the welcome and greeting was really lovely and helpful with recommendations of local restaurants :)

We had a brilliant time staying with friends in Sara and Paul’s fantastic house. The house is very well provisioned and there is plenty of space to relax both inside and outside. We made full use of the garden and the hot tub. I would definitely recommend this place!

The house was perfect for our annual family reunion which included 8 adults & 3 children. It felt spacious and welcoming. Having a hot tub in the garden was a real bonus and well used. Garden area was enclosed and private. Location was a few minutes walk from town in a very desirable area. We walked to Anne Hathaway's cottage in about 25 minutes & found a back route to the church where Shakespeare is buried near the river. I think Natasha should be upgraded to Superhost as she was helpful but unobtrusive! Instructions were clearly sent by & her responses to queries were very prompt. We all felt the stay could not have been improved upon and cannot find anything negative to say about it. Thank you very much indeed.

We had a lovely relaxing time at Swallows Cottage, Claire was very kind and let us into the property earlier than the normal 3pm check in, which was great. The cottage was lovely and clean, very big and spacious. On the Thursday evening we went into the hot tub room, we were unable to get the bubbles working, so we messaged Claire around 8-9pm and she replied right away with instructions on how to release the lock on the controls. The cottage is a prefect location for a quite switch off time away, lots of birds and rabbits, which is very cute. I think this is one of the most rural places I have ever stayed in. The road down to the cottage is very picturesque, however a little bumpy as it goes onto a farm gravel road with quite a few large pot holes, so drive very slowly. We would defiantly stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mutton Barn. The house was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. The location was perfect: a beautiful, rural position - so quiet - all we could hear was birdsong! The views from the house were outstanding! We loved seeing the wildlife: badgers feeding on the lawn, pheasants in the garden, deer roaming across the fields and a bird of prey swooping from tree to tree as we drove up to the house on our arrival. Paul was a very friendly, obliging and helpful host - we certainly appreciated the lighting of the log burner each night. Many thanks too, Paul, for the champagne, milk and chocolates you left for us - they were much appreciated!

A beautiful cottage that felt like home from home. Had all the amenities, even for the kids with Highchair, cot, cutlery etc. Beautiful gardens, can tell its all well maintained. We took a short walk to the local pub and park too which were spot on. Would definitely stay here again. thank you!

Having stayed in many Airbnb’s over the years, I can honestly say that Daisy Lodge is up there with the best. The accommodation is beautiful. The lodge is spacious, modern, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could ever need. The location is peaceful and quiet yet only a 15 min walk from Stratford. Pam was friendly and responded quickly to any questions; the information pack she sent out prior to our visit was fantastic and packed full with recommendations and relevant information about the Lodge and the local area. Our only regret is we didn’t stay longer.

Friendly, responsive host. Nice little extras like milk and biscuits. Great spacious accomodation, properly furnished for number of guests

Jessica was very responsive and accommodating with our check in time. The place was easy to find and meet our needs. She even brought us an extra towel to use for the dog as it was going to be rainy. The back garden was perfect for our dog to stretch his legs (and the main reason we booked).

We had a great stay at Phil’s place, everything we needed. Especially good that breakfast was included. We only attempted the drive once as it was too steep for us. We parked on the road for the rest of our stay but never had a problem finding a spot. We will certainly stay again next time we’re in the area visiting friends & family.

We stayed here for a couple of nights to break a long journey after a few weeks away. Mary communicated in a very friendly and helpful manner and, kindly, left bread, milk, etc. for us, which was much appreciated. The flat is spacious, very well-equipped and has a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. It is bigger than it appears in the photos so perhaps some more flattering pictures could show this. The flat had the added bonuses of off-road parking and a small garden, perfect for our collie. It was an easy walk from here into Leamington Spa and an even shorter one to the canal towpath, which was great for walking our dog. I would recommend this strongly for anyone looking for homely and comfortable accommodation in Leamington Spa, especially if you’re on holiday with your dog. Thanks very much.

Another wonderful stay at Liz’s accommodation in Oxley whilst visiting family. Accommodation clean and fresh as ever. Beautiful weather so able to do plenty of walks alongside the nearby canal network. Looking forward to my next visit already.

What a lovely, character and spacious cottage. The cottage is set within the best gardens we have seen at an Airbnb. The instruction booklet is very thorough and full of great recommendations of the local area and history of the cottage itself. There are ample appliances, utensils, pots and pans with plenty of cutlery and glasses. The garden and summer house are a pleasure to sit in and you can tell they are very well looked after and we spent every evening outside. It is a very quiet neighbourhood and a peaceful sleep had by all. It is within walking distance, by the river, to the local village which has some outstanding restaurants and pubs. If mobility is an issue, a taxi is less than £5 to the village. We had the pleasure of meeting Geoff and his wife in the garden and they are such friendly and caring hosts. We would highly recommend staying here and would certainly love to stay again. Thank you for a very memorable weekend.

What a beautiful place to stay! The pool house is beautiful and the pool was perfect. Alan and Jeff are great hosts, friendly an welcoming. We can't wait to come back.

I recently stayed at this beautiful cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were taken in by the charm of the place – the cottage is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. One of the absolute highlights was the private access to the pool. It was such a luxury to be able to take a dip whenever we pleased, without having to share the space, the booking slots was such a clever way to achieve this. Surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful surroundings, it felt like our own little slice of paradise. The cottage itself is perfectly situated for relaxation but also close enough to explore local attractions, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing, romantic, or even family-friendly escape with a touch of luxury and loads of charm, this place is a gem.

From start to finish Wendy was amazing! Communication, extra’s for our baby - not a problem Wendy had it sorted within the hour! The location, stunning. Pool and hot tub such a perfect way to enjoy the views and to relax. Definitely an air b & b saved for another trip in the future

Amazing place with a fantastic host who was so helpful and provided all the information needed and very quick to respond. Perfect for my young family with plenty of options for my kids and swimming pool such an added bonus. Thank you! No doubt we will be back
