We walked from Stratford, not too far. I got a bit alarmed when I saw the coach park, thinking it would be overwhelmed, but it was very peaceful in lovely grounds, helped by a hot sunny day after weeks of rubbish weather.

Not just the cottage itself was fantastic, also the way to arrive to it through a small wood area and next to the canal was great.
