Luna Cottage - Grove Road Cottages

I think the owner has tried to provide basics, but has not put in the effort to make this home pleasant.

We were really disappointed and wanted to leave as soon as we got there. I think that the owner has tried to provide the basics, however it is in a poor state with door handles falling off, toilet leaking, and an unhinged gate in garden, making it feel very insecure and unpleasant along with cigarette butts, rubbish and general detritus outside The property smelled unclean. Paintwork was dirty especially on doors and walls. The advert is mis leading stating that there is parking, this is not the case. The outside area was uninhabitable as it was dirty, untidy and very unpleasant. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Great location for the centre. There is also a park just down the road to give the dog a quick walk as needed. Good shower.

Decor is a bit tired. Advertised with free parking but after booking received notification advising parking permits for holiday lets were revoked from this year. Found great Private Parking on Just Park app just 2 mins walk. Cost £23 but cheaper than car parks 👍 Two options for wifi - neither were great.

It was clean and tidy. Near to town and amenities.

I was described as having a garden but there was a broken gate leaning up a wall overlooking an area of broken bricks and empty beer cans.

Breakfast not applicable. Location was good for accessing the town centre. Beds were comfy. TV in lounge and both bedrooms. All accessories that we needed were present ie ironing board, iron etc. Comfy sofas in lounge.

The ad for the property promised on site free parking, however, this was not the case. We had to pay to park in a nearby car park. This needs to be made clear in the ad. We were offered a free cancellation but this was the day before travel and no time to make alternate arrangements. This property could be so much better with a bit of care and attention spent on it. The outside to the rear is a let down. There is a rusty old gate propped against the back yard opening. There was a small table and 2 chairs on the 'patio' complete with a jar containing a load of used fag ends. Plus there was a small patch of grass/weeds. There was a broken glass in the kitchen cupboard and the toilet door handle was hanging off. The property has a double bed in one room and two singles in another. However there is only one very small double wardrobe which has very little depth so our clothes were just hung around where we could find space. Property is very close to a busy cross roads so there is some noise, although this did not bother us. Overall, we would stay elsewhere when visiting Stratford again.

Fantastic location, just round the corner from everything. Cosy, clean pleasant house. Would definitely stay again.

No free parking and the noise from the back areas of the building, eg deliveries to pizza shop in the middle of the night and congregation of beer drinkers being loud ever night on the car park at the back.

We loved the location. It was close to the town centre.

The place looked like it wasn't stocked very often. There was a minimal amount of coffee, washing up liquid, etc. Could be stocked up better.

The cottage was in a great location and had everything we needed . It was clean and comfortable . Cannot fault the cottage itself .

It was advertised with free allocated parking which is a gem in itself in Stratford especially with how close it was to the centre hence why we booked this property . As soon as we booked it we got a message to say there is no parking anymore . The facilities on the properties page should have been updated . Parking is available close by but with suitcases and bags it is very different - just think this should of been made aware beforehand as we had found other cottages with parking but as this was closer we booked it . Cost us £40 in parking so does make a difference to where you book .

Great location!

The ‘Free Onsite Parking’ was rescinded 3 days before our stay citing that the council don’t offer permits to holiday homes anymore. Owner didn’t reply to my messages until I had contacted booking.com directly and they got hold of him - miraculously he managed to find us a parking spot directly at the back of the property (we could touch the car through the kitchen window.) Very much under the impression that the said parking space provided with the property had been sold separately because it was a very busy weekend in Stratford - be careful of this! The cottage itself is okay and that’s all there is to it. Very basic, very tired. Sofas and walls and carpets are clearly very well worn/dirty. Photos do not reflect the current state of the cottage. It served its purpose.

The pin code to access the property was not updated and therefore we had to call the owner after trying for several minutes. The owner advised that booking.com had not updated the new pin code. The parking was a bit further away than expected and although it was not an issue for us able walkers, I believe it should be noted for other customers that may have not been able for the walk.
