Family-friendly vacation rentals in Shirley

It was lovely break for a couple of days for my husband’s birthday. The hot tub was amazing especially in the cold weather and such a beautiful view. The staff were very friendly and even came out to us to direct us to the correct location when I called on arrival.

We have just had a large family Christmas at Stratford house. It was great as loads of bedrooms with en suite’s. A huge dining kitchen with lots of space to host and a great conservatory with a large dining area. The location is fantastic, about a 5 min walk from the centre of town. Natasha was very responsive as we asked lots of questions prior to staying due to cooking Christmas dinner there, had no issues. My mum was ill on checking out and had to attend A&E and Natasha kindly offered me another night so that I could be with her. Fortunately, my mum was discharged home that afternoon but we were really grateful of her kind offer.

A fantastic location and extremely peaceful. The house is beautifully appointed and has everything we could possibly need for our stay. The hot tub is great and there are loads of outdoor spaces to sit. Very welcoming and helpful hosts, who struck the right balance of being there if needed but did not make you feel pestered. I thoroughly recommend this beautiful place, and we plan to stay again soon!

We had an amazing stay at this charming cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was fantastic—peaceful and private, yet close enough to explore the local area. Wendy was incredibly welcoming and provided great communication prior to arrival with recommendations for nearby activities. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tranquil and scenic retreat. We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful place; the setting is beautiful, peaceful and extremely relaxing. The cottage was very clean , well-equipped and we felt at home really quickly. Both hosts were kind, responsive to any questions and couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend! We’ll be back!

Lovely stay and Wendy was so helpful!

Tranquil and beautiful rural surroundings, part of a lovely country cottage home, all you need, whether you are relaxing, using as a base for work nearby, or vase for visting the area it meets all your needs.

Great cabin for peaceful family getaway with our dog. Good indoor space with plenty of bedrooms, and comfy lounge/kitchen/dining space. Handy shop less than 5mins walk away for enough basic supplies for a meal, newspaper, drinks etc. Really enjoyed the lovely canal walk nearby, and we visited Stratford upon Avon which was great.

Pam was an exceptional host. Quick , responsive communication. The accommodation was perfect. Beautifully presented and decorated for Christmas. Comfortable sofas and beds. Well equipped with all the cooking utensils you will need. Towels, extra bedding, hand wash, hand cream and shower gel were all provided. There is ample parking for 2 cars directly outside the lodge. Pam left us a beautiful Christmas welcome package that we all appreciated, a lovely thoughtful touch. The location of the lodge is perfect, fabulous views out onto the river. We took a walk into Stratford, it was an easy pavement walk and took us about 35mins. We had 3 dogs with us and Pam had left a box with dog towels, water bowl and feeding mat. There is a large grass area outside the lodge, perfect for the dogs to do their business and there are even poo bins with poo bags dotted around the park. We had such a lovely stay and would highly recommend to all.

Sarah was welcoming and explained everything to me and let me know if there was anything I needed she was on hand next door. The directions she sent before my arrival were very helpful. This first floor place is stylish, well decorated and comfortable and has everything you need. Parking is just on the other side of the courtyard. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this AirBnB.

Very nice house. We've enjoyed our stay.

Thanks Zoe for the lovely stay. You have a warm place and I can see your passion about the place. I would highly recommend it for family and friends.

My third visit to Adriana's place. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Balsall Common has all the facilities needed for an easy stay including some great places to eat and easy access by train or road to Birmingham and Coventry. I'll be back.

David, has been really helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend to anyone. So much so that we have booked another extended stay in January. Thank you David

We planned to use the cottage for a wedding in the area and ended up having a wonderful weekend break. The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything you need. The location is perfect on the canal by a working lock and the are is beautiful. Stratford is nearby and we even managed to get to an outdoor afternoon performance. I would recommend the cottage to anyone.

Jason’s place was beautiful, clean and in a great location. Jason was a great host.

The property was gorgeous and well looked after. Stunning modern decor and furniture. Very modern bathroom with a rainfall shower (great for someone as tall as me!). The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in much later than planned (which we are very grateful for).

The apartment was perfectly located in the town, was spotlessly clean and the Christmas decorations made our weekend feel very festive. Extremely well appointed and was certainly home from home for us.

I stayed here for 5 weeks and was very comfortable, with everything you could need. The area seems nice and safe, walkable to city centre/train station and a quick bus ride to the university. It's worth being aware that you can clearly hear the people in the upstairs flat (footsteps, phone alerts etc) but I sleep with headphones in so not too much of a problem for me.

Chase Lodge is in a perfect location if you want a quiet countryside break not too far from shops and restaurants. The property is really well equipped, comfortable and clean and is all exactly as described. We didn’t meet Zoe but she kept in touch. Check-in and out is very simple via key box. We went on lots of scenic walks directly from the property. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

very pleasant people, wisely arranged and fully equipped flat, very warm in the middle of winter, with independent heating and thermostat. Plenty of parking space outside, it is a dead end road so there is no traffic. We enjoyed our stay as well as our communication with the polite and kind owners.

Great accommodation ideal for work or base for visiting local area. Friendly hosts Muriel came out to show me round on arrival and let me know they were available if I needed anything else. Will definitely check availability if in the area again.
