Little slice of heaven in the country about 20 minutes each from Coventry and Birmingham suburbs. It’s on a canal lock, which makes for interesting views of boats as they go by. There are also hikers and bikers passing by on the public footpath,...

The cottage is beautiful and roomy. Very cool in this heat wave. When I contacted the hosts for help and info they were really friendly and happy to help. Watching and helping the boats go through the lock was fun. The pub down the way was great xx
