We had a wonderful two night stay at the Salamander Guest House. Communication with Alex was clear and easy. The accommodation is very comfortable. Proximity to the town centre was very good, so close to all the attractions and amazing cafes and restaurants. I would happily stay again if in the area and would highly recommend Salamander Guest House for anyone visiting Stratford upon Avon.
