Lovely Stay!
We had a very comfortable, spacious and clean room. The walk in shower was excellent. Although we were on the ground floor, the room was very quiet too. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. We were attending a performance at the RSC and the hotel is a short walk away.

This is a very well-run hotel. The room was comfortable and well-furnished, everything worked, the linens were nice and the bed itself comfortable and high quality. Quiet, efficient, well-appointed. Thoughtful, helpful staff. Much appreciated. And it's a five-minute walk, across a footbridge over the Avon, from the Shakespeare theatre.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room comfortable and spacious. It’s conveniently placed for the theatre and town, with on site parking so you could leave the car and walk around. There was enough choices for breakfast and what we had, was nice enough.
