Overview
Set on a quiet terraced street not far from Holy Trinity Church where you’ll find Shakespeare’s grave, Trinity Cottage is a hidden gem. Stepping into this comfortable cottage you’ll instantly feel at home. The living room with its wood burner invite you to take a seat on the sofa and rest your legs after your journey. With a minimalist, contemporary style flashes of colour have been added which draw you through the hallway, past the eye-catching green cloakroom, to the kitchen/diner at the rear. Here is a wooden dining table and chairs and a well-equipped kitchen which has been styled with grey units and all the equipment you could need. Upstairs are three stylish bedrooms, two doubles and a single, to suit a number of different groups. The master bedroom has an en-suite WC which is as equally stylish as the rest of the house. Finishing the first floor is the bathroom with a modern claw-foot bath and rainfall shower.
From the kitchen glass doors open out to the patio and lawned garden where you can enjoy meals at the wooden table and chairs. A short walk takes you into the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon where you can enjoy shows at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, visit his birthplace, dine in style at one of the amazing restaurants or venture further afield into the Cotswolds.
Ground Floor
Living Room:
Stepping straight into the living room you instantly feel this cottage’s character. The wooden floors flow through to the hallway stairs and your eye catches the mustard yellow details and wood burner. A sofa and armchairs provide space for the group where you can curl up with a book or watch the news with your morning coffee.
Kitchen/Diner:
The spacious kitchen is a chef’s dream. Wooden worktops wrap around one side with contemporary grey units sitting alongside a Belfast sink and traditional feature taps. The double oven is perfect for cooking up a feast which you can enjoy at the industrial style dining table overlooking the garden through patio doors.
Cloakroom:
Not usually a feature that you’d shout about, at Trinity Cottage it is a hidden oasis. With deep green walls, bright white tiles and foliage inspired artwork it is a lovely addition to this cottage.
First Floor
Family Bathroom:
At the top of the stairs is the family bathroom, blending traditional styles with modern touches. The tiled floor has a wooden effect while the walls are a crisp white. Above the clawfoot bath is a rainfall shower with classic fittings, and there is a sink and WC. Fill the tub with bubbles and take your time to enjoy this lovely room.
Bedroom One:
The first bedroom has a double bed looking out over the garden to the houses beyond. The metal bed frame sits between two bedside tables and there is a shelf with hanging space for keeping your clothes. Wonderfully plump bedding will help you drift off in this quiet room towards the back of the house.
Bedroom Two:
The second double bedroom is larger with an exposed brick wall painted a light grey adding interest to the room. Above is an antler style light fitting, another touch of character. There is a wardrobe and chest of drawers and a full-length mirror to get ready before heading out for a meal on nearby Sheep Street.
En-Suite:
The second bedroom benefits from an en-suite with a WC and sink. An industrial wood and metal unit holds the sink beneath a large mirror in a wooden frame. This handy en-suite will make getting ready in the mornings a breeze.
Bedroom Three:
Finishing this cottage is the single bedroom. Providing flexibility for groups of friends or perfect for a child it has a full-sized bed and a wardrobe with drawers for storage.
Outside
To the rear of the cottage is a lawned garden with a patio and shrubbery planted along the side. A table and four chairs give space for taking breakfast outside or enjoying an evening drink once the children are tucked away in bed. Parking is available on the streets nearby.Facilities

Great location

Location excellent. Unfortunately the permit parking offered was not provided. We had to spend around £100 at the NCP car park - a 6 minute walk away. Very inconvenient. Housekeeping - house clean but no kitchen rubbish bin liners & no dishwasher or washing machine tablets either - which is a basic.
David
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting Trinity Cottage's excellent location. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the parking arrangements during your stay. Unfortunately, we were informed by the property owner only shortly before your arrival that the parking permit could no longer be renewed. As soon as we became aware of this change, we worked to update the property information and provide guests with alternative parking guidance. We also appreciate your comments regarding the housekeeping supplies and will review these with our local team. Thank you again for your feedback, which helps us improve the experience for future guests.

A great week

This was our second stay. The location is fantastic and great to have garden access during the heatwave. Parking right outside also a plus and Sarah organised a pass with no issues. The house could do with a spring clean - we opened the shutters and found more than a dozen dead bees and the extractor in the en suite dumped a pile of dust on the loo! I think I mentioned the lack of a teapot in my previous review - a small point but makes a difference to dedicated tea drinkers. Loads to see and do in Stratford and easy access to the north Cotswolds. We had a lovely week

Excellent cottage

Great location and lovely cottage. Will definitely return. A couple of improvement suggestions - instructions for the TV would be helpful and despite the welcome info saying there were coffee pods, we didnt find any.
Guest
This was an excellent property well located with an easy walk into town, close to both the Church and river it was a great location. Facilities were as described and the house was clean and well cared for. We've had to dock a point or two due to the condition of the sofa. It has seen better days and as the main seat in the lounge was highly uncomfortable and triggered my back problem. Everything else was comfortable and as expected. We spent the week exploring the area and a visit to the falconry display at Warwick castle should not be missed. All in all a great stay.
Neil
Lovely cottage - very convenient location

We had a very happy stay at Trinity Cottage. It has 3 lovely bedrooms, a light and airy kitchen diner and nice garden to sit out in. It is very convenient for all the restaurants and a short and easy walk to Trinity Church (Shakespeare's burial place) and the River. Our only issue was with the arrangements for the parking permit which are unsatisfactory. Despite notifying the relevant person over a week before our arrival - we still received a parking ticket. Although it was sorted out eventually, it caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience and put a bit of a dampener on our break.
Guest
Great base for exploring

Trinity Cottage is in a great position to explore Stratford upon Avon.
Despite being straight off the street its deceptively large. It could perhaps do with a couple more comfy chairs in the snug / living area.
The kitchen is a good size - although the dining table is very small and if you were a group of 4-5 youd struggle to all eat around it. The garden is a great asset.
All bedrooms were clean and functional. However the lack of curtains is a let down as the sun comes streaming through the blinds.
The cottage comes equipped with WiFi (although the wrong password was in all the information booklets so we had to get it from the router), a nespresso pod machine. We brought pods to use but it wouldnt work - as it turns out its one of the newer nespresso machines which takes very specific pods - this would have been good to have known prior to arriving or having pods left for us to use.
The Sonos speaker was also missing.
Heather
We were very comfortable in Trinity Cottage. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The garden was so peaceful. Stratford upon Avon town centre was a ten minute walk away. Everything was perfect.
Ian
Nice little spot walking distance to the town centre.
Ben
Short break with girlfriends

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and very clean and warm. Beds very comfortable. Great location within a short walk to the centre of town. Kitchen was fantastic and well-equipped. Only slight negative was the size of the dining table in the kitchen - it's tiny! There is space to accommodate a much bigger table which would make things more comfortable when having a meal.

Gorgeous place

Amazing place to stay. Spotlessly clean. Amazing location. Highly recommend. Slight issue with permit and parking due to miscommunication but did not distract from wonderful property.

- Bolthole Retreats, 30th September 2025
We had a great stay in Stratford upon Avon. The property is in such a convenient location, very walkable, right next to the town centre and the park. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We would have no hesitation in recommending, or staying here again.
Penny
The perfect property in a lovely location

Really enjoyed our stay at Trinity Cottage, the perfect property in a lovely location just a few minutes walk in to Stratford town centre.
Alan
This is a beautiful house in a quiet location, yet easily walkable to everything we wanted to see. Two minute walk to Holy Trinity Church and the River Avon, which has a lovely walk along it. There is so much to see and do locally it’s a perfect location. The house is very comfortable and very well appointed, with everything you could possibly need. Clear instructions were given. We would definitely stay again and can’t recommend it enough.
Sam
We stayed at Trinity Cottage for 2 weeks with our 2 children. Lots of space inside the property and it was immaculately clean. Really quiet area but walkable into town. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to others as we had a fantastic stay.
Helen
Trinity Cottage was a lovely place to stay, comfy and spacious and close to all the attractions of Stratford-upon-Avon. Overall, a lovely place that I’d recommend.
Bernadette
Great house, better than described. Easy check in, helpful hosts quick to respond. Great location and very well furnished property. Would stay again.
Charles
Fabulous stay!

The cottage is located in a quiet street very close to Trinity Church where Shakespeare is buried. Everything was within easy walking distance.
The cottage itself is bright and airy. It's very comfortable and clean and the beds are very comfortable too. The kitchen was well equipped and bright opening onto the garden. The garden is well kept with chairs and a table for outside dining. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend it
Carmel
Gezelligheid troef!

Een ruim, proper, en heel gezellig huis.
We hadden er een heerlijke tijd met ons gezin van vijf. Een aanrader!
Judith
A great place to stay for a visit with "The Bard".

We loved our stay in Trinity Cottage. The accommodation was centrally located to everything. Our host answered any questions quickly. Thanks for a great stay!
Susan
Perfect Location

Lovely cottage in the perfect location for the sights of Stratford and the surrounding area. On-street parking provided so you could leave the car and explore the town on foot as everything was within easy walking distance.
The cottage was in the 'old town' area of Stratford, so very quiet enabling a good sleep. The property was very well kept and lovely and warm and welcoming. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for a stay.
Louise
Lovely property, walking distance to town

Stylishly finished with everything you need. Quiet street with easy parking and 5-10 minute walk to town. Would recommend
Simon
Stylish accommodation within walking distance of all that Stratford has to offer

Stylish cottage, very comfortable and so close to town. Quiet location. Parking was easy but full rubbish sacks left on the patio on arrival + dirty wood-burner compromised the experience somewhat.
Jonathan
A Shakespearean Bolthole

Our short stay in Stratford was memorable for many reasons including Trinity Cottage. Its location close to the town centre made sightseeing, eating and drinking very easy. The cottage itself is well maintained, comfortable and clean. Only one small gripe - we couldnt find a teapot!
Keith
Lovely Stay

Super location. Beautiful cottage. Well maintained. Lovely decor. Easy to walk into town. Parking wasnt a problem. Only criticism is the mattresses arent that comfortable in both bedrooms but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend! Thanks again.
Peter
Beautiful house centrally located in charming area of Stratford upon Avon

Beautiful, tastefully decorated terraced cottage in immaculate condition with everything you could want for a stay in Stratford. This property is a Tardis, looking twee from the outside while extremely spacious within with a large kitchen diner, decent size living room and even a roomy downstairs loo. Upstairs there are two good sized double rooms and a box room with a single bed. All the beds were extremely comfortable! The main bathroom was again immaculate, spacious with a bath and overhead shower. There is a decent sized garden which attracts the afternoon sunshine and we managed to enjoy tea at the patio table. Despite the quiet location, 5 minutes' walk finds you in the heart of Stratford with all its shops, cafes, theatres etc. Perfect for a family of 5 or friends on a city break. Would definitely return.
