This is a large property that’s has been, lots of corridors and stairs, not suitable if you have a mobility issue. Location is excellent, garden area and parking excellent.
Room we had was very quiet even though it overlooked the car park.

It is a beautiful, historic building across the street from the Swan and Royal Shakespeare Theatres and next door to an historic pub. Everything is walkable in Stratford. We took a great walking tour from the beautiful park that included the church Shakespeare attended and is buried in. One note, there is no elevator in the hotel and our room was on the 3rd floor. They had very nice young people carry our bags up and down for us, but be aware! Very pleasant and accommodating staff, good food--we had breakfast there and also had a lunch there on the first day. Friendly people. Loved it and will definitely stay there again next time we're in Stratford-upon-Avon.
