Beautiful house within walking distance of town, river and theatre
Shakespeare Cottage is a beautiful house. It was perfect for our weekend getaway to Stratford. Wonderfully comfortable beds, relaxing sitting room and a well equipped kitchen. Great for self-catering and within a short walk of some lovely places to eat. Perfect!

Comfortable as well as beautiful
Had a lovely fews days in this gorgeous house. Comfortable, clean and well equipped.
Great location. Everything is within easy walking distance and if you dont feel like cooking the food at the One Elm is very good.
The only niggle we had was the level of heating as the weather had turned wet and chilly, and the stone and wooden floors meantbit sometimes felt a little cool.
