The Lily Pad Riverside Apartment

The Lily Pad is a contemporary, spacious, ground floor apartment nestled on the banks of the beautiful River Avon, complete with its own private decking area and mooring. Thoughtfully developed and designed to accommodate guests in luxurious style, the property offers modern living in picturesque surroundings, providing the perfect escape for discerning couples.

Large bi-fold doors open the apartment onto the decking area, creating a sublime space for indoor/outdoor living. Wake to the sound of birdsong and spend the morning watching the river boats lazily go by. Escape into the idyllic English countryside along one of the many rambling trails or sample the local cuisine in traditional pubs or the exclusive riverside restaurant, all on your doorstep. Guests are welcome to bring canoes or small boats to explore the many beautiful villages along the river, or enjoy a spot of fishing from the private mooring.

The Lily Pad is only a 7 mile drive away from Stratford-upon-Avon, with a bustling night life and a wealth of bistro pubs, restaurants and clubs, the birthplace of Shakespeare offers everything you could want for the perfect night out, as you like it. Take in some culture at the world famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RSC) before indulging in the best in fine dining, then head back to your ‘home away from home’. Taste a slice of the good life – the Lily Pad life.

Beautiful apartment, with lovely view

We loved our stay in The Lily Pad, it was spotlessly clean, lovely comfortable bed and fluffy towels. The decking and outdoor furniture and view of the river was really enjoyed. Our hosts Richard and Vicky were very welcoming and friendly, and there are lots of places to visit nearby.

Stunning

We had such a lovely stay at Victoria’s Lily Pad apartment. It was like a home from home. The kitchen has everything you need to self cater and the bathroom was clean and modern, the shower is amazing. Overall the apartment is so comfortable and perfect for a couple. Bidford upon Avon is such a central base to visit the surrounding areas. Stratford is about 10-15 away in the car. Broadway and Bourton on the water are stunning and well worth a visit. Stow on the wold is pretty but not as much to do there. There are so many more places we want to visit in the surrounding area but just didn't have time so we will definitely revisit and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook the lily pad. The parking is right next to the apartment and is such a bonus. Thank you Victoria for a lovely stay. Emma and Matt x

Couldnt wish for more

The Lilypad is 5 star plus accomodation in an idylic location beside the river Avon. Close to the border of Warwickshire and Worcestershire there is to much to see and do in only a week. Most of the sights/ attractions are within in a 30 to 40 minute drive away. Bidford may be a small village which adds to its charm but has all the ammenities you need within a short walk. Victoria and Richard are the perfect hosts and the welcome package wasmuch appreciated. Thanks

Real Little Gem

The Lily Pad is absolutely delightful - a wonderfully relaxing spot right on the riverbank and with all amenities close at hand. I had a lovely time busy doing nothing and didn't feel guilty once. The weather was an added bonus. Very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Lovely short break...

Very spacious and well equipped with a comfortable bed and shower. The location is close to a number of places to eat including "The Bridge" and Harry Bones's take away pizza both which we would recommend. Prosecco in the fridge upon arrival was a nice touch! Great view over the river and a Co-op close by. We used the park and ride to get into Stratford which was only a few miles away. Would happily stay there again
