We had a wonderful stay at Sophie’s place in Coleshill. The house was absolutely lovely....very clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel really welcoming. Sophie was super helpful and a great host, making everything very easy for us. As traders at Crufts at the NEC, the location was perfect, really convenient and made our busy days much easier. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Sophie’s place to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great stay! 😊

Sophie was really accommodating from the moment I booked... and accidentally booked the wrong one! Sophie kindly changed my booking to the right accommodation and all was fine. Accommodation was exactly what we needed for our stay, just wish the weather was a bit nicer so we could have used the decking! We dropped our things off and booked a space in Morrisons car park (about 5 mins walk away), which was £6 for 3 days. There's a tiny coffee shop metres away from the property that's well worth a visit (L'Maiz), and a good chip shop. If you like Indian food you're spoilt for choice too! Thanks for your hospitality!

We had a wonderful stay at The Housekeepers Cottage. It truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived everything was presented so nicely, spotlessly clean, and smelled fresh and welcoming. The beds were comfortable, as was the sofa, and the thoughtful touches like bread, milk and coffee pods are lovely. You can tell a lot of effort and care is put into the upkeep of the property. Sophie gave very clear instructions before our arrival and was extremely responsive throughout our stay. We had a slight glitch with the boiler, but thanks to the Sophie’s quick replies it was resolved easily and without any hassle. Overall, a lovely, comfortable place to stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others and will definitely use one of Sophie’s Homes again.
