Description

The sofa is a sofabed allowing the cottage to accomodate a third person for a short term stay. The separate fully fitted modern kitchen overlooks the beautifully converted redbrick barn and gravel courtyard.
The double bedroom, overlooking the peaceful patio and fields has a super-king sized bed which can be made into 2 single beds.
The cute bathroom has a bath with shower.
Surrounded by stunning views of open fields Barn Owl Cottage allows easy access onto a public footpath making it a perfect base for walking and exploring Warwickshire.
The footpath leads you to the Grand Union Canal via The Greenway or to the local award wining gastro pub in Offchurch village central.
The newly refurbished Hill Top Farm, about a mile along the Fosse Way, has a butcher and coffee shop and sells fresh local produce including fruit, vegetables, dairy, and bakery items. It serves breakfasts and has a Hayloft restaurant.
Offchurch is a peaceful village about 3 miles from Royal Leamington Spa and Warwick.

“Great getaway for two”
We have used Barn Owl Cottage as a holiday base several times over the past decade. This time we have been living there on and off while house hunting. The cottage is small but convenient for two, wit… More

“A wonderful cottage in the Warwickshire countryside”
I had a lovely week-long stay in Barn Owl Cottage. It is a self-contained small home that is perfect for two people, the garden is a beautiful extra and bigger than I expected. All the amenities were faultless- the wifi, TV, kitchenware etc. Clelia was a lovely host and was there for anything we needed. The location was great too, just outside Offchurch which is less than 10 minutes from the centre of Leamington Spa.

“This rather cramped property could do with some TLC”
Coming from abroad we wouldn’t have booked for 3 weeks had we known there was no WiFi which we take to be a basic requirement. Clean linen was available but only on request.

Response from the owner Dear Julie It was lovely to meet you both and thank you for your review. The cottage is perfect for a short stay, but guests staying for longer than a couple of weeks or wishing to use the sofa bed for an extra guest are always warned before booking, like yourself, that some people may find it too small. The cottage is in the middle of the countryside making internet connection extremely difficult. As such, WiFi/internet is not advertised anywhere on our webpages. We are sorry if this was a disappointment to you. For future guests, fibre optic has finally reached us so we will be able to provide WiFi in the near future once the cottage can be connected. We are always happy to provide clean sheets and towels. We hope you had a pleasant return journey. Kind regards Clelia Lovell

“A lovely little cottage in beautiful countryside”
Barn Owl Cottage is an ideal place for two people to spend a few days visiting this part of Warwickshire. It is very well equipped and has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. It is conveniently situated on the Fosse Way with easy access to the M40 and to other parts of Warwickshire. We would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting this part of the country.

“excellent stay”
Barn Owl Cottage is nicely furnished and decorated all in great taste. Located just outside Leamington Spa so convenient for the shops and cafes and resurants but also just a 30 minute drive to The Cotswolds and even less to Shakespeares Stratford. The owners are most helpful and friendly leaving some tea, coffee and milk for arrival. The heating system worked to perfection, the evenings in November can be chilly but that was irrelevant as the heating took care of that. Though the cottage is a tad on the wee side the bedroom is magnificent with a huge bed that is as comfortable as one would want. We have been back since and can recommend Barn Owl Cottage. D K

“Cute and comfortable cottage”
We were visiting our daughter in Warwick, so this was a very good base for us. The cottage is small but has everything you might need. We were warm and cosy and slept very well in the extremely comfortable bed also helped by being situated in such peaceful surroundings. Hope to return in the summer when we can enjoy the lovely garden and walk to local pub.
