A superb room in a really lovely B&B. Very friendly & welcoming hosts. The room was spotlessly clean with a large en-suite, we could not fault it at all. Fresh milk & bottled water was supplied in a fridge, a very welcome touch. …

What a venue. A grand double fronted Manor House but essentially a family home. The rooms are huge and tastefully presented. My room had a large en suite with a walk in shower and was excellent. …

If you're looking for a little luxury I would recommend having a night or two away at Austons Down Farm, Saddlebow Lane, Claverdon, CV35 8PQ. Tel. 01926 842068. It is so conveniently situated for Stratford upon Avon or Warwick Castle. …

I stayed at Austons Down Farm on a business trip, and I can report that it's an excellent B&B! The room I had was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The two owners were both very friendly and welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Austons Down Farm is situated in some wonderful countryside and the nearest village is a 15 walk away. Finally, the internet access is free and more than quick enough to stream Netflix and have a Hangout session with home. I hope I get the opportunity to stay here again.

Stayed last night, on arrival we were offered hot drink which was served in a very comfortable lounge allowing us time to relax after our journey. We could not fault the welcome, accommodation or the delicious breakfast. Situated within easy reach of the M40, Stratford and Warwick it is an ideal base to explore the area and great place to relax. Look forward to staying again.
