Owl Cottage Reviews

Yet again, a lovely relaxing stay at Owl Cottage. This was for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Everything we needed was provided and the little welcome card, chocolates and milk were very much appreciated. Having an enclosed safe garden for our dog Mikka, was great, as we could use the hot tub and know she was safe out there with us. We will definitely be booking again. Such a lovely cottage and village. Everyone you meet are very polite and make you feel welcome. Thank you
A lovely secluded cottage with a pretty enclosed garden. The cottage is very well equipped and clean with plenty to do in the vicinity. It should be noted that the bedroom is quite small and anyone with restricted mobility may struggle to get into one side if the bed which has very little space.
Caroline
This was the 6th time we have visited this cottage I don't really think I need say any more!
Michele

Richard
A great little cottage in a lovely location. I would happily come back here again. Thank you to the hosts for the quality streets they left for us, it was a nice touch.
Andrew
We had a lovely stay. Instructions for keys and access were clear. Garden nicely maintained with gorgeous views out across fields. Comfy sofa and bed always important. Plenty of kitchen counters and storage. It was very handy having use of the washing machine. There's a bath and toilet upstairs we didn't use and a toilet, basin and shower in a wet room downstairs next to the bedroom so we used that all the time. The bedroom is small, not much bigger than the double bed, but by the second night we were used to sliding in and had no problems. Good pub meals locally. We would definitely come back for another stay. There was a thick folder of helpful info with everything local listed, from vets to activities, and contact details for our hosts in case we had a problem we didn't. Also, since I have bad knees, I always mention in my reviews how the accommodation was for me in case it is of interest to anyone else. There is one step into the front door and one step out to the garden. The flooring is a mix of carpet and tile. The toilet is one of the low ones, which isn't great for my knees, but was manageable. The toilet was also facing a nearby wall, which had a towel rail on it. I had to be careful not to use the towel rail as a grab rail! Sofa was also lowish, but again manageable and very comfortable. All in all, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Richard
Lovely cosy and peaceful cottage set back on its own so nice and private which was great as we took our little dog that barks at anything so he had a peaceful time too. Ideally located for Warwick, Leamington, Coventry and lots of walks too ie Daventry. Great enclosed gardens with a hot tub and also has benefit of a car charging point which we didnt realise til later but easily sorted with Adrian and Helen the great hosts to whom nothing was too much trouble. Totally recommend
Loved our stay. Perfect little romantic getaway with an enclosed garden space for the dogs to have the run around. The hosts were attentive and helpful when we needed them and the place was kept very tidy and clean. Very cosy and cute!
A very nice cottage. Quiet and out of the way. Very clean and maintained. I am in this area alot for business and would stay again.
Booked Owl Cottage for a break for my wifes birthday! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay the garden was perfect to enjoy a full week of sun and is better than seen in the pictures. Plenty to do within short drives, including Charlecote Park, StratfordUponAvon and other national trust places that are dog friendly. Local food is great at the Kings Head and The Folly, and would highly recommend a breakfast baguette from the Napton Village Store. Thank you.
Absolutely delightful and just what we expected.
We had a lovely time thank you the only thing that perhaps needs mentioning is that the lower level of the walls etc needed cleaning. There appeared to be mud splashes on the skirting boards and under the radiators which probably came from a dogs. We had 2 dogs with us, but these marks were there on arrival, also we were lucky to have dry weather and our dogs were not allowed in the bedroom !
Owl Cottage was a delight. Just as shown in the pictures with the open fields around and the lovely little patio and garden which was perfect for our dog to relax in, too. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and was very clean and tidy and the owners were easy to contact and very helpful if needed. We really enjoyed sitting by the log stove and cooking our meals in the compact wellequipped kitchen. The whole cottage was cosy and warm and the upstairs area was perfect for chilling and watching dvds a nice little selection were available. WiFi was great and the shower was good, too. We had not used a hot tub before, but are definitely converts! It was so nice to sit in and admire the views even though our weather was a bit mixed. Napton village stores was well stocked and had tasty veggie pasties and hot treats. It was a pleasant walk away just a short bit of the main road to negotiate and then easy paths and there were nice paths to discover around the village and up to the windmill. Also some lovely walks along the canal. Would definitely love to stay her again. Thank you so much.

Could do with gateing off the grass area as weather wasn't the best and grass ... Could do with gateing off the grass area as weather wasn't the best and grass was very boggy and with the dogs 2 rottweilers running around it was starting to to turn abit muddy so would of like the option to keep them in the patio area which was a shame as the property was excellent couldn't fault will defo book again thanks
Samantha
Stayed at owl cottage for 2 night and wished we had booked longer. It was a lovely little cottage and so peaceful. We will 100 be back!
My daughter bought my partner and I the weekend away at Owl Cottage as a christmas present. It was so idyllic with wonderful views across the countryside and felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. The hot tub was amazing and the temperature of the water was perfect. There was an abundance of cooking utensils and absolutely everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, even a big teapot. We had a wonderful relaxing time and would highly recommend it to our friends and family. It was just what we needed and we would love to go again. Tracey & Jason
Owl Cottage was comfortable and cosy, and we really enjoyed our stay. We only wish the weather was slightly better so we could use the hot tub more! Great visit to the local pub and Daventry country park too, the dog enjoyed his stay as much as we did! Thanks for a lovely weekend.
We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend Owl Cottage. It was great location and very secure which was great for our dog. The pub was 9 min walking distance on a main road but it wasnt busy at night. The pub was really nice, great food and staff. I would advise to book. The only downside was the shower was terrible, it came out slightly warm then just went cold which wasnt ideal as it was cold when we stayed and we desperately wanted a nice warm shower, especially after getting out the hot tub. There was also no outdoor lighting out the back which made it difficult to watch our dog at night. Other than that it was great and the owners were super responsive and helpful.
Beverley
Cosy and clean and relaxing place to stay . Even though it was beginning of November when we stayed, still plenty to do, Lovely walks nearby. Dog friendly pubs along the way, with just as friendly staff. Highly recommend
Barrie
Both of the televisions would only receive a signal when it was raining. The bed pillows are not fit for purpose I have thicker towels than the pillows. There is an infestation of flies in the upstairs bathroom every night we had to remove 20 to 30 dead flies. The cottage itself and the grounds are absolutely lovely
Joseph
Property had everything you need for a getaway and was great value for money. The cottage was secluded and you felt like the only people around. The perfect place to switch off for a couple of days and spend some quality time together. Also a nice walk away from the local pub and village of Napton. Couldnt recommend more
Owl cottage is a bit of a contradiction, it has some great features, brickwork, beams, lighting, a dog secure garden, all the equipment you need, good location, electric car charging and hot tub although we didn't use the last two. But some small points and one big one let it down. The big issue is the bedroom which is too small for the bed. If you are relatively fit and agile this isn't a problem but anyone with mobility issues would have trouble. Little things like the towels and plastic wine glasses can be easily dealt with. Overall it is very good value for money, so I would recommend it, especially if you want easy access to the canals, which is why we went.
We had a lovely week and the Cottage was nice especially the outdoor space and the Hot Tub which we used every day. The Village Pubs were very good, and there was lots of nice walks nearby that Hector the dog really enjoyed although avoid Ufton fields thousands of Mosquitos. The only downsides were we were left only 2 small bath towels which meant having to buy hand towels and extra towels for the hot tub. The Box of chocs was a nice touch and the pint of milk although it would have been better for us if it was semi skimmed instead of skimmed.
Rodney
A nice comfortable cottage situated outside the village of Napton on the hill,surrouned by farmland and off the main road a lovely comfortable cottage that we would not hesitate to reccomend.
Brendan
Wonderful location, excellent cottage, well equipped, quiet, nice garden, great if you have dogs. Nice hot tub, one thing that I would add would be some screening to offer some added privacy & protection from the wind coming across the fields. Other than that there is nothing I would change
We really enjoyed our stay. Great recommendation of The Folly by Adrian
Gillian
Lovely location. Very reasonably priced. Could have been more effort to make it festive as we went over the Christmas period. The few Christmas lights around the cottage didnt work because batteries were dead.
Had a great stay at the owl cottage. Couldn't fault anything at all and would love to stay again, exactly as described!
This property was everything we wanted, easy to find, quality everywhere we looked, comfy bed, quiet, just the right size, ideal location. Easy access to village great price... Please note I have entered a very detailed review with feedback and photos on Google Maps. I think you will be very happy with the feedback we have given. The booking process easy, great description on Dog friendly site sold it to us.
Well equipped. Peaceful and lovely setting. Location and local amenities good. Only negatives would benefit from better towels and mirrors a tad high for shorties. Otherwise no issues and highly recommend. Will be returning
Richard
Lovely well equipped cottage , beautiful rural setting. Perfect dog friendly holiday.
Jacquie
Lovely cottage,super peaceful location. Disappointed with the lack of towelsand the quality, very crunchy . Downstairs chairs really not comfortable . Re directions Aquavista could be used as a location to pinpoint the property as it is on the opposite side . We drove past as the Owl cottage sign is not really visible the way we approached on the A425. I know the property is listed as one bedroom , but the fact it has a sofa bed linen would be useful and blinds upstairs. I booked to go with a friend so she took her own bedding luckily. King's Head great food, as well as potting shed. Local post office shop well stocked. We avoided the walk on the 425 to drive to Daventry Country Park to walk Martha my border terrier, great walks and lovely coffee shop.
Dorothea
My husband and I love Owl Cottage. We have been there a few times, it is situated not far from where we used to live, we can see our family and our friends, our beautiful very intelligent rough collie also loves it too, but this will probably be the last time we go as I am disabled and my husband is also ill, and we are not far off 90. The cottage is well furnished very comfortable, fresh and clean and has everything visitors would need. Congratulations, Adrian, and best wishes for the future.
We had a lovely stay at the owl cottage,peace and tranquility just what we wanted , the cottage was in a remote place, hot tub was lovely ,the only thing I would say is the seating was not very comfortable apart from that i would highly recommend the owl cottage. some lovely places to go to walk your dog .
This sweet little cottage, was located close by the canals, which were perfect for exploring. We spent many days walking with our dog, along these canals, stopping for lunch at a pub then wandering back. Conveniently located for day trips to Leamington Spa and other hidden delights.
Lauren
We felt the garden wasnt fully pet secure where the big hedge finishes by the brick wall above the hot tub. We had to put the clothes dryer there to ensure our dog didnt escape. Apart from that a lovely stay
Absolutely beautiful we both enjoyed our stay all safe and we loved the views ... Absolutely beautiful we both enjoyed our stay all safe and we loved the views and thanks again for the chocolate and milk etc very much appreciated and we will book again xx thanks Dave &joan and Maggie x

Old Dairy Farm Centre - PO30 2NB
about 11 Miles
Suited to families with children of all ages this is a fantastic attraction in Northamptonshire.  There are many special events held throughout the year so don't forget to check what's happening while you are staying in the region.  Some highlights include the lambing weekends and the monthly local food fayres.
Old Dairy Farm Country Shopping and Craft Centre - LE14 3PF
about 11 Miles
From shopping to home cooked refreshments this is a wonderful day out in the pretty village of Upper Stowe.  You can enjoy amazing views over the Northamptonshire countryside and wander around the complex of stone built farm buildings.  Each building houses something different such as the Occasions Florist, Itsy Bitsy Gifts, Hayrack Gallery and Sheer Delights Lingerie.  When it's time for a rest the Barn Restaurant and Tea Room is the place to go.  There is a small selection of animals at the centre too which younger children will love.  They currently have two Kune Kune pigs, sheep, hens and ducks.  If you are looking for upmarket holiday accommodation in the Northamptonshire area then the luxury lodges at Wicksteed Park are sure to impress.
Catanger Llama Trekking - NN12 8LJ
about 12 Miles
This is a really unique attraction and certainly worth a visit in our opinion.  Established in 1995 and situated in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside this attraction will appeal to those looking for something a little different.  You can't ride the animals but you can trek alongside them and enjoy the fantastic scenery.  From farm tracks to country lanes the gentle animals will carry your rucksack for you along the way.  There are personally guided treks available all year round and you will have your own Llama for the trek.
Ash End House Childrens Farm -
about 28 Miles
With family fun for everyone a trip to this farm makes a memorable day out in Staffordshire.  Some highlights of the day might include the chicks and ducklings in a basket, goat kid walking, bottle feeding the lambs or bunny brushing.  Located in the Tamworth area of Stafforshire this attraction is easy to get to.  Look out for special events taking place throughout the year including weekend and school holidays when extra activities may be organised.  Don't forget to meet Chirpy while you are there - the extra large chick!
