Further afield, Warwick Castle, the Cotswolds, the NEC and Birmingham and Coventry airports can be reached within little more than half an hour by road.

There is private parking for up to eight cars. A good range of local shops, pubs , restaurants and many other amenities are in easy walking distance. To the rear, secluded courtyards and a long walled garden lead down to the River Arrow and open countryside beyond. Alcester Libbrary has tourist information which includes timetables for bus routes to Stratford, Warwick Parkway, Birmingham, Eversham and Redditch where there are onward rail services. The house and cottage have automatic gas central heating; autowasher; tumble dryer; dishwasher; oven and grill (electric in house, gas in cottage); gas hob; microwave; fridge/freezer; colour TV DVD and Wireless Internet ; courtyard garden with outdoor furniture.
