Really lovely Place
Immaculate accommodation. Clean, modern, well equipped and decorated.
Great location, a casual stroll to the town center, shops, restaurants and the Avon theatre.
The rear two tier deck provides ample space for dining and lounging.
Will certainly stay there again on our next visit to Stratford.

Home Away
The house was lovely. A very comfortable stay. The stairs to the top floor were a bit of a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.

Shakespearean Delight
Attractive, well laid out property in easy walking distance to downtown Stratford. Well decorated guest & bedrooms including wall hangings which completed each room. Received a 3-page welcome email which gave us an entry code but didn’t receive a WiFi password. Received checkout information just before checkout time.
