We enjoy welcoming visitors to stay in our lovely cottages. My husband and I run the cottages which my father converted from the 18th century barns in the grounds of, what was, our family home. Whitley Elm Cottages have been established for over 25 years. Many of our guests come year after year and some have become good friends. I was brought up at Whitley Elm so we are able to help visitors with where to go to get the best out of this lovely area.

Whitley Elm Cottages are a very special place for my husband and I, and for the many guests who stay here. The Cottages are situated in a beautiful part of the world. The rural tranquility, heritage and location of this area, in the heart of Shakespeare's country, have drawn people here from all over the world making it one of England's most popular tourist locations. Where we are is quiet and undisturbed by traffic noise but within a short car-ride there are many attractions for visitors, including Warwick Castle, Stratford Upon Avon and Hatton Country World, as well as fascinating National Trust Properties like Packwood House and Baddesley Clinton.

There are very few properties to rent that have such a good position, views and heritage as Whitley Elm Cottages do. We are located in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, but just a short car journey from the towns of Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa, and Stratford Upon Avon. The National Exhibition Centre is a 20 minute drive away from the cottages. All properties have free wi-fi, so you do not need to feel cut-off if you have to be connected to the rest of the world for business or pleasure.
