Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Meg's Cottage is situated away from the main road set in a private courtyard in the village of Tiddington, a 20 minute stroll from the beautiful and historic riverside town of Stratford-upon-Avon. You can easily walk (within 5 minutes) to the local public house, comprehensively stocked local grocer/greengrocer, fabulous Chinese restaurant, award winning Indian restaurant, quirky and lovely Irish Tapas bar, and even closer is the Riverside Bar and Restaurant which is 2 minutes away and set on the banks of the River Avon. You can also take the riverboat taxi from her in to Stratford which takes about 20 minutes, a beautifully relaxed way to travel into town.
Stratford itself is the home of William Shakespeare and also has many quirky old buildings, the kind from storybooks. There are lots of places to eat and drink, and plenty of shops too...this is a fabulous English riverside town.
