Notes on accommodation
The house has a burglar alarm, and smoke alarms and is very well equipped. WiFi is available free of charge. Pets are not accepted.
Accessibility
The house is not suitable for wheel chair users as there is no downstairs bedroom, though there is a downstairs toilet. Although we have a few beehives that are placed beyond the garden hedge the house may not be suitable for those people allergic to bee stings. A doctor is located in the neighbouring village some two miles away. The house is not far from the M1, M6 and M40; East Midlands and Luton airports are 30 minutes away, Heathrow an hour and Stanstead an hour and a half.
Outside
The 30 foot pool (open mid May-mid Sept) and hot-tub is in a sheltered, sunny courtyard with a gate which is not lockable and used at one's own risk. The pool has a shallow depth of 1m, the deep end is 2.5m. It is heated but there is an additional charge of £50 per week if heating is required. The pool will be cleaned once a week. There are no changing facilities within the pool area though there are a number of outhouses that can be used as well as a gravel area for eating. The drive leading from the main road to the house has parking for at least 6 cars either in in the drive or at the rear of the house. There is a rather old tennis court that is suitable for children or the not very serious adult as the run off area is rather short. Beyond this is a vegetable garden with fruit trees, apples, plum, and pears. You are welcome to pick whatever is in season. There is a large wooden table with parasol and 6 chairs situated on the gravel area where there is a well with spring water.
Golf
There are golf courses in Rugby, Daventry and Dunchurch, all within a five mile radius of the house. There are stables in the village and others nearby. Sailing is available at Draycot water some 4 miles away. Narrow boats can be hired from Braunston and Crick some two miles away. Stratford Upon Avon, the home of Shakespeare and the Royal Shakespeare Theatres are some 40 minutes from us by car. Warwick town and castle some 30 minutes by car.
Althrop House some 20 minutes by car.
Travel
The house is not far from the M1, M6 and M40 motorways. East Midlands and Luton airports are 30 mins away, Heathrow an hour and Stansted an hour and a half. London is 50 mins away by train. Because we are a small village on the border of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire with Oxford, Derbyshire, the Cotswolds, Birmingham, Coventry, Manchester and London close by a car is essential for exploring.
