The location is central. The hotel is unique with spacious rooms and fabulous bathrooms. Everything in the room was complimentary. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We all enjoyed the breakfast and both the chef and the waitress exceeded our expectations, in particular regarding the gluten free requirements that my daughter has. I wish we had stayed more nights. We'll go back when we return to Stratford.

On site parking for £10 very good value. We had one night, so effectively almost 24 hours. On street would've been way more. Third stay here, and the staff have consistently benn friendly, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Take you to your room and leave, no hanging around thinking of a tip.

Stay was very nice although really disliked that dogs were allowed in the property. When we arrived there was a dog doing its business at the entrance to the reception, there was a dog in the dining area when we were having breakfast one morning and we could here a dog barking constantly from a room down the hall. It is not ideal and unhygienic. Also the rooms were extremely warm! Staff friendly and breakfast was lovely.

The room was lovely and clean, a couple of things needed repair (toilet roll holder hanging off the wall) but otherwise the whole stay was perfect! Staff were friendly, cleaners were lovely, the food was great and the bed was super comfy! We will definitely be booking with them again!

The room was everything we needed for a night in Stratford Upon Avon. The hotel is central and walking distance of dining, shops and attractions. The reception welcomed us and showed us directly to our room which was a nice touch. Staff were very nice. The rooms are spacious although a little creaky. We could hear the guests above us walking around of an evening and morning. Bed and bedding very comfortable and overall we enjoyed our stay with the best part being the convenience of location. Thank you.
