Waxwing cottage was spacious - great for our family group of 5. It is in a remote location which we liked with lovely walks to Foxton Locks and Lubenham on the doorstep. It was clean and had all the equipment we needed. The hot tub was gorgeous!

The cottage is in a lovely location but you need a car to get around. There were a couple of issues which the owner was quick to respond to. Didn't use the hot tub as a tad too chilly & stormy. Bedrooms are roomy and the beds are comfortable. A little TLC might not go amiss, especially in the bathrooms but nothing that would spoil anyone's stay. We had a nice weekend away with friends and our dog.

We had an excellent time, the accommodation was peaceful and the hot tub amazing. We used it as a base as it was midway for the gents to go to Silverstone whilst the ladies when stopping in Birmingham. Would stay again if we decided to go back to Silverstone!
