Picturesque cottage in Shakespeare country and Cotswolds

Jasmine Cottage is an extraordinarily picturesque holiday cottage in the pretty village of Welford-on-Avon. Nestling on the banks of the River Avon and just 8km to Stratford-upon-Avon, Jasmine Cottage is an ideal place for a staycation or week long getaway. The village of Welford-on-Avon is famous for the many 17th century thatched cottages which are immaculately looked after, and the 13th century church in the centre of the village. Look out for Tenpenny Cottage which is supposedly one of the most photographed thatched cottages in England, which can often be found gracing the covers of calendars or postcards. The name refers to the quarterly rent charged for tenants. Jasmine Cottage is hidden away in a quiet road around the corer from the church. The cottage sleeps up to four guests, has off street parking, a pretty rear garden and stunning views over the Warwickshire countryside. The River Avon is just 10 minutes walk from the cottage.

NEARBY SHAKESPEARE ATTRACTIONS The most well known Shakespeare attractions are all within eight to nine kilometres from Welford-on-Avon: Shakespeare's birthplace Hallowed ground for lovers of literature and history alike, Shakespeare birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 remains a star attraction to this day. Anne Hathaway's cottage As well as Shakespeare’s own house, you’ll find a collection of other Tudor cottages in and around Stratford that belonged to his friends and relatives. Hall's Croft Shakespeare’s eldest daughter lived nearby in Hall’s Croft with her husband, Dr Hall — a medical visionary in his day. Mary Arden's farm Next up is Shakespeare’s mother’s farm, which is a little way outside Stratford in the rural setting of Wilmcote. Shakespeare’s grave Shakespeare is buried in the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, the same church where he was baptised in 1564. Royal Shakespeare Company The primary theatrical body responsible for producing Shakespeare performances is the Royal Shakespeare Company. Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, visitors can tour the Royal Shakespeare and Swan Theatres by day or by night on the RSC's spooky after-dark tour. This is the other main place to see Shakespeare performed, but you can catch the company in action elsewhere on its national tours.
