This B&B offered what we needed, a central location and a base for a fair price. ||The B&B is a bit faded and could do with some TLC, things do seem in the cusp of breaking. …

I booked this place on Booking.com. Having read the reviews, it sounded ideal. I am not sure who wrote the reviews, Shakespeare himself, maybe? They must be extremely old! …

Stayed here for a business trip recently. Great location, close to the town centre.I was puzzled with parking in the area on arrival, however they have vouchers in the hotel that you can purchase (for a very reasonable £3 per day) and then display in the carVery professional, accomodating and pleasant service at all times there.My room was on the top floor. It was a little warm, but there was a fan in the room. The room was clean with good facilities. My only comment is that the shower took a while to warm up and was quite noisy ( I was worried it would disturb the room next door as I was leaving early).Overall highly recommended for a visit to Stratford.

This is not the first time we’ve stayed at this delightful B&B. The hosts are amazing and you can feel that they truly want you to have a great Stratford Experience from the moment you walk through their front door. Our room was lovely with an amazing mattress so we settled in really well again and went down to a freshly cooked breakfast each morning. It’s literally a hope skip and jump from the centre with its Myriad if Shops and restaurants so really could not be more convenient. Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to see you again soon. :)

We have been coming to Stratford-upon-Avon for many, many years and have stayed in a variety of guest houses and hotels. I am so upset about our experience in this particular guest house.  …
