A nice hostel. Room was clean and spacious.Not the best kitchen if you are cooking your own. Small for the amount of people wanting to use it. Low quality pans (not none stick anymore). Ovens broken. Not enough shelves in the ones that work.Lacking in utensils etc

An excellent way to stay in Stratford upon Avon. An easy walk into Stratford. Visiting to go to the Attic Theatre( also a wonderful venue for delightful entertainment). Stayed in a camping 'pod', which is a delight. …

I love the National Trust YHA hostels in the UK. They are mostly in wondrous surrounds and well run. This one is no exception, lovely grounds, a bus service right from the hostel to the beautiful town. Hot lovely showers, great coffee and very friendly staff!
