Shakespeare

Perfect location for a good night out: dinner at Lamb's restaurant on Sheep Street and a play at the RSC theatre. One tip: There are *two* Chapel Streets in Stratford and most sat navs only list the wrong one which is in the suburbs. Set your sat nav to the intersection of Sheep Street and High Street instead. The entrance to the parking lot (10 pounds/day for hotel guests) is on Sheep Street.

Upon entering the lobby, it appears to be a very old quaint building with rustic exposed oak beams and large wing-backed chairs and large fireplaces. Very quaint and cozy. Our rooms were at the top of the stairs and along a narrow hallway. No elevator, so it was a long haul. All of this was of little consequence when we saw the room. It was newly decorated and absolutely gorgeous! A four poster modern styling bedroom with windows that swung open to the surprisingly quiet street with a spectacular view. Flat panel TVs in both the bedroom and the adjoining sitting room that had a settee , chair and fridge that also had the same vintage leaded glass windows that opened onto the street. The bathroom was ultra modern and spa-like. Air conditioning was quiet and efficient. This was by far the best hotel room we had on our two week travel through the UK. The only downside I can think of was that we were charged extra for parking.

We stayed in Stratford for our wedding. the hotel was lovely. Very conveniently located. Staff friendly and attentive. Standard of facilities excellent. Arrive earlier rather than later to aviod not being able to park in hotel car park, as spaces are limited. Will definetly go back again and would recommend to others.

Maybe it is not fair to compare a very old hotel with a modern one, but my wife and I and our daughter agreed that this was a unique experience, and well worth the price we paid. The rooms are very comfortable, and the atmosphere fantastic. So for a short stay in Stratford upon Avon we highly recommend it.
