Trip to watch a play at the RSC nearby which was just a short walk over the bridge. Room was lovely, bathroom was clean, taps kept making a loud noise so had to open more than was necessary, shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided so no need to take. Bed was comfortable. Hairdryer in room. Overall a little too warm throughout room and hotel as weather has just turned so heating was on. Breakfast was lovely, as vegetarians we felt there was a good choice and milk alternative also provided.

Had a lovely time food in the bear pub and the bistro excellent staff friendly the only bad comment I have is I do not appreciate dogs being the the eating areas I was aware that the hotel was dog friendly but I really don’t think they should be where people are eating surely they should leave the dog or dogs in their rooms while dining

Comfortable bed, helpful staff. Have never stayed in a dog friendly hotel before and noticed a strange smell in the room ? cleaning products. Good choices for cooked breakfast, however, long wait time, cold poached eggs and the untoasted sourdough with avocado were a disappointment. Hotel very conveniently located for the theatre and town centre.

Lovely hotel and very convenient for doing things around Stratford-upon-Avon. Check-in staff were very helpful in suggesting some things to do and tips for getting into places like Warwick cheaper. The hotel has paid parking lot but there is a city long-stay car park behind the hotel that is cheaper rates.

An ok Stay

Rooms and communal areas are dated. Our room was far too hot. Even with x 3 fans that were already in the room. So the hotel must have had previous complaints Staff were nice and friendly. £10 to park your car ! Breakfast was ok for £12 I guess
