Overlooking the peaceful green, in the oh-so-charming estate village of Preston on Stour, Locke’s Cottage is an enchanting, Grade II listed black and white cottage. Surrounded by wonderful walks, a delightful village shop and café, and the historical appeal of Stratford-upon-Avon on your doorstep, Locke’s is a gorgeous base for Shakespearean escapades and Cotswold adventures. Step inside and you’ll find a beautifully designed cottage packed with charm and personality by the bucket load! There’s a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove, whilst upstairs a spa-inspired shower room and indulgent four-poster bedroom await. Locke’s Cottage is a glorious 16th-century hideaway that has been stunningly brought into the 21st century and is the perfect spot for romantic adventures in the countryside. A four-legged friend is also welcome to join you.

Just returned from a lovely Easter break at Locke's cottage.
The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and has been upgraded and styled to be so lovely and comfortable. Great sleep in a comfy bed and lovely renovated bathroom with great water pressure considering the age of the cottage!
Also a very well equipped kitchen if you do want to stay in and cook.
The fireplace was lovely and generates an amazing heat so you felt warm and cozy.
It's a quick drive into Stratford-upon-Avon if you want to explore the history of the town and get your Shakespeare on. We actually walked it which took about 1.5 hours if you're keen. Also an easy bike ride. The nearby Bell pub (great food and service) and walks were also lovely.

We had a wonderful stay at Locke Cottage. The village is lovely and the cottage is stunning inside and out, it had everything we could need for our stay. It is very well equipped and beautifully decorated and furnished to the highest standard. We loved the cosy feel and the fire. The garden was also lovely to sit out in and ideal for our pooch. Great communication and early check in was a bonus. The location is perfect near the Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon. Would highly recommend!



A very enjoyable stay in a magnificent location

We booked this cottage because of its history and location and because it was dog friendly. It is a perfect blend of historical interest and contemporary fittings. Although small, the kitchen was very well equipped. There was a large screen, smart TV with wi-fi. A lot of thought has gone into decorating and modernising this property. The bedroom, with a four-poster bed, and modern bathroom with walk-in shower was wonderful. The house had flag-stones and original floor boards. My only criticism was inadequate heating. One under-powered radiator in living room. Although there was a log-burner, I could not get this fired-up due to lack of kindling wood. ( I was a Boy Scout). This needs some attention, particularly in the winter months. We loved our stay here ( 3 miles from Stratford On Avon and a Waitrose). Recommended for a couple and a dog.

We LOVED our stay in this beautiful cottage.

Customer service and communication was excellent from booking, and we were treated a bottle of champagne and some wonderful coffee from local roasters on arrival.

The cottage itself has everything you need, and was wonderfully cosy. The fire was perfect.

It’s just a 10 minute drive to Stratford upon Avon, and there are several lovely walks around Preston-on-stour itself.

Hopefully we’ll be back soon!

Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cottage. There has been no expense spared in refurbing this home. The decor and furnishings are beautiful and it was spotlessly clean. Perfect location for visiting Stratford upon Avon and the Cotswolds with plenty of walks on your doorstep. Highly recommend a visit to the Bell Inn in Alderminster for food.
