Brilliant stay- thank you !

Food served in the pub was lovely. We had a lunch deal of a ciabatta, chips and a drink for about £11. It was delicious. Bar staff friendly and advised us when it was happy hour so we could order cheaper drinks. Could not do enough for us to make our stay as enjoyable as possble. Would recommend this Inn to everyone! We would also recommend the breakfast, great value for money and well cooked.

Lovely place to stay

This newly furbished hotel was very nicely done. Staying with my cousin we had single beds, which were not comfortable, they were very hard. The menu in the evening was easy, and the pre ordered breakfast was good. On arrival the entrance to the car park wasnt easy to find, and spaces few. On leaving there was a delivery, which blocked the only way in and out. We were in no hurry but others may do well to ask if a delivery is due, if they dont want to be held up. Some staff (food servers)were very helpfull, others didnt seem to care. Very well positioned to walk to Shakespeares birth place.

Good location, but room hard to access.

The hotel is conveniently located near the RSC and downtown Stratford. The room was clean and comfortable, but the stairs to get to our room were extremely narrow and steep. It was impossible for us to carry our suitcases up those stairs ourselves, so we had to ask the staff for help. Fortunately, they helped us out - but we had to wait, as they had other duties, and seemed a bit put out by our request.

Check in was very easy and the guy at the desk was friendly. My room was nice but there were a few issues such as the heated towel rail not working (it would switch on for a few minutes and then turn off). Other than that the room was great and cleaned to a perfect standard.

The property was in a great location with easy access to the centre of Stratford Upon Avon. This made finding food during our stay very easy. There is no car parking but the multistorey next door to the property only cost £20 for 3 nights. The room itself was nice and comfortable. However, it did lack a fridge in the room. For the price, this is something we'd have liked to have seen. The room also had quite a few cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Being an old building, this can be expected, but a quick dust before our arrival would have added a extra star to the review. The walls are also very thin between the rooms. During our first night, we had an uncomfortable night's sleep owing to the couple next door... The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. We asked for an ice bucket for instance to take to our room and they were more than willing to help. Overall, if you're looking for a convenient, well located place to stay in the centre of Stratford, this is the place for you.

Characterful old inn. Easy short walk to RSC theatre. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Be aware that stairs to bedrooms are narrow and quite steep, though the helpful lady who showed us to our room did offer to carry our bag for us.

Centrally located, friendly staff, clean room.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and had everything you needed. Desk lamp needed fixing/replacing - spring missing that held lamp up. Also, very warm in room, a fan would have been nice. Excellent location and value for money. Would recommend.
