Top Shakespeare's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

8/10 Good

"Public areas were very impressive and luxurious. We loved the gardens and sitting out spaces. Nice to have the club lounge access with premium rooms- really enjoyed this facility. Good WiFi. Great parking. Fantastic location near town and theatres and restaurants and shops. It would have been good to have a coffee machine ( nespresso) in a premium room- the Premier Inn chain do this!"

Hotel Indigo Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, brilliant location, fabulous food.x"

The DoubleTree by Hilton Stratford-upon-Avon

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Lovely room. Good breakfast. Good location."

The Grosvenor Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is very rough around the edges especially externally. The rooms clearly need updating too. The reception area has been modernised. For what we paid for one night it was acceptable and very good location for Stratford itself."

The Queens Head

8/10 Good

"The Queen's Head is small, comfortable, good value, and convenient to local sights, but it's fairly basic inn-style accommodation above a lively pub. Staff are friendly and helpful, but they are mostly pub staff. The bar across the street is noisy in the evenings (some wonderfully bad karaoke), which some guests may find disruptive. Its main virtue is that it is cheap, clean and convenient."

Stratford Studios

10/10 Excellent

"The studio was quite modern and very clean. The location is very convenient to all of the sites. It is in a very quiet and safe space."

Bodhi Tree Cottage - Grove Road Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far the best value option I found in Stratford for a group of six and it worked better than I could have hoped for a family group including two young kids. The living room area was more open plan than I’d realised, which was a bonus. Brilliant location - very central. The car park next door is handy with good availability, albeit not quite as competitively priced as Bodhi Cottage!"

Shakespeare House, Free Parking, Town Centre Location

10/10 Excellent

"Travelled with family. Easy access to lock box outside. Spacious. Lovely 3 bedroom charactered house. Good location. En-suite bedroom on first floor with 4 poster bed with TV. Top floor have two bedrooms, would be perfect if there is another TV upstairs too for the children! Kitchen well equipped with dishwasher. Very pleased about the deep bath ! "
