Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The guesthouse is in a great location with a short walk into the town centre. Room was spacious and beds comfortable. Alex was a great host and gave us lots of great recommendations for our trip. Excellent value for money!
The owner of the place, location,the cleaning
Our room was completely modernised & clean. The beds were comfortable & the free Wi-Fi was an added bonus. The host was very friendly & extremely helpful.
I would have liked s mini fridge in the room to keep my drinks chilled. Despite this we had a great stay & would definitely return.
Everything. Owner was super helpful
Great location, very clean and on-site parking was much appreciated. Easy walk to the various attractions and restaurants.
Very friendly staff. Great location and accommodation.
Alex the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, she advised us on how to get last minute theatre tickets. The bedroom was well equipped, stylish and clean.
Having to pay on departure, it would be nice for payment to be taken automatically.
Very easy to find. Excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Room was very nice and beds extremely comfortable. Pascal was adorable and very helpful. Really happy parking is included. Communication was great.
Honestly it was great overall. I would just give a warning about parking - its quite tight as you access the car park down the passage to the right of the guest house so if you have a bigger car with sensors it will probably shout at you whilst you drive down it. There was nowhere to hang my clothes in the bathroom - a couple of S hooks on the towel rail would have been great. Not a big deal though. Bedside tables ever so slightly sticky.
Location brilliant, very clean, friendly staff
What a beautiful place and perfect location for Stratford. 4 minutes walk into the heart of things. Immaculately clean, extremely spacious room, comfortable bed and very quiet. Alex was a very helpful host and catered for my Gluten intolerance for the tea tray.
Nothing at all. Loved it
Love Alex and her dad Pascal. They are kind and offer everything they can to make us feel welcome, including help with parking and accommodating an early check in when needed.
Perfect location just a few minutes walk from the local shops, bars, restaurants and theatres. Very quiet and comfortable. Parking was safe and secure and free.

Really nice property and location. We stayed in the family room and there was plenty of space for two adults and two children. Pascal was a charming and welcoming host and put us at ease straight away. If you’re visiting Stratford you won’t go wrong staying here. You can park your car and go and easily walk to everywhere.
The road outside is quite busy and the room gets noisy if you leave the window open. But it’s not bad during the nightime.
We stayed in a family suite on the ground floor, which was very convenient as we could easily access it directly from the parking lot. The suite has a comfortable master bedroom with an interconnecting room, making it ideal for a family stay. The location and easy access made our stay very convenient and comfortable. The host was very friendly and welcoming, and kindly recommended some nearby attractions and restaurants, which was very helpful. Overall, we had a comfortable and pleasant stay and really appreciated the host’s warm hospitality.

The family studio ( 2 bedrooms) was perfect for the end of our trip. Car parked next to our room. Friendly and accommodating, nothing was a problem for Alex. Suggestions for meals and walks were good and much appreciated. Easy access to the town.
Nuestro alojamiento tenía dos habitaciones dobles, cada una con su televisión y un baño para las dos. No hay servicio de desayuno pero en la habitación tienes te, café, chocolate y galletas surtidas. Te hacen la limpieza del baño y te cambian las toallas a diario. Era amplio, cómodo, con camas muy confortables y estaba excepcionalmente limpio. Tenía la plaza de aparcamiento delante de la puerta y eso es muy práctico. Está situado en el centro de la ciudad, en una zona muy tranquila, muy bien ubicado para ver toda la ciudad. El propietario, muy amable, está pendiente de todo lo que puedas necesitar. Sin duda muy recomendable, repetiría seguro.
This was our second visit …. And we will be back. The hosts are lovely, the location is an easy walk into the theatre and the beds are super comfy ! Perfect
The property was ideally located for most of the Stratford-upon-Avon highlights. The beds were comfortable. The shower was great. It was a wonderful place.
Very friendly welcome and attentive host. Clean, comfortable and spacious suite for three with its own door so we didn’t have to go through the main reception. There was a parking space outside our door. Excellent location

Het zag er goed uit en Pascal was enorm aardig en behulpzaam. Met goede tips over Stratford.
We sliepen aan de voorkant en hoorden daardoor het verkeer. Dit viel mijn man op en hij is een lichte slaper. De kinderen en ik hadden er geen last van.
We were greeted by Pascal, who was extremely warm, welcoming and also made us all laugh with his lovely sense of humour. He showed us to our room and gave us all the information required and told us how to get down to the RSC theatre and what was available in the area. The room was very clean and well appointed, the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. It's close enough to the railway station and the RSC to walk to both, so the location is great. I would definitely stay there again, if I were to return to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Fabulous place to stay
Very friendly Pascal was so entertaining and a delight

Das Familienzimmer und Badezimmer sind sehr schön gestaltet, sehr sauber und komfortabel. Wir haben auf der Durchreise eine Nacht verbracht und fanden es sehr erholsam. Am Morgen konnten wir uns Tee/Kaffee machen, was wir auch sehr geschätzt haben. Danke!
Great reception and information about places to eat and breakfast ideas..Very clean Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! Good car parking and only 8 minutes walk to the theatre.
Leaning!

De uitzonderlijke vriendelijkheid van de host Alex. Met alles heel behulpzaam, ook met zaken die niet rechtstreeks met ons verblijf hadden te maken. Prima advies over wat er in Stratford te beleven is. Ook haar restaurantadvies was uitgebreid en correct. We love it!
Eigenlijk niets speciaals dat ons tegenviel. De kamers zijn beperkt in grootte maar dat kan je verwachten van een Guest House midden in een stad.
Reservation without breakfast. The host was very kind regarding my requests and to provide information.
The single room I was given is on the 2nd floor of the guest house. With luggage, it was not convenient, although the staff helped carry it upstairs. The room has a low ceiling, no AC, with just a fan, and the carpet makes it even warmer. Lucky that temps dropped at night. My fault not to have noticed these details before booking.

Alex is a wonderful host. She gave us lots of great recommendations for nearby restaurants, cafés and places to take a walk, which was incredibly helpful as it was our first time visiting. Accommodation is clean&tidy with comfortable bedding and generous selection of tea, coffee and snacks provided. Although this property isn’t large and doesn’t look overly fancy in the photos like some other Airb&b, once you stay here, you can really feel the care and thought the host has put into every detail. It feels warm, welcoming and comfortable, making it one of the most enjoyable places we’ve stayed during our trip around the UK -We travelled around the UK as a family of 4 on a 3weeks road trip from London to Edinburgh, staying in ten different accommodations along the way. Well done, Alex!
The parking space is right next to the accommodation, making it very convenient. However, the driveway is a little narrow, so it took a bit of getting used to the first time, but after parking once, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Well located, clean, nice and specially a extremely friendly owner.
A lovely host who was charming, welcoming, and very helpful sharing information about the town. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean and our room was cleaned each day.
Our room had a side aspect and looked over the driveway/access to the carpark at the back.
La anfitriona, Alex, es encantadora. Hizo que nuestra estancia fuera estupenda. Nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones y estuvo pendiente de nosotros durante toda la estancia. Un día, que no me encontraba bien del estomago, me trajo varias infusiones que me sentaron muy bien. Fue todo un detalle.
Cleanliness , pillows , mattress , showers , parking facilities
All good
Very clean generally, bed was very clean and comfortable. Towels supervsoft and were changed after first night , we only stayed two.nAlex was 👌 super helpful. Location was perfect, very close to all the tourist locations. No noise from other guests. A fridge was available for guest use.
The water flow in the shower was a bit unpredictable and the signgreat outside advertised breakfast which is no longer available, but a 20% discount was available at a specific Breakfast Cafe. .
Alex was amazing. She went above and beyond helping us with recommendations to visit as well as good places to eat. She made us feel so welcomed!
Great location close to the centre of town, with off road parking. Comfortable well maintained property & very friendly host. Would happily return.
Location is great, easy walk into Stratford centre. Car parking available. Breakfast not included but Alex, the host, gave us a list of lovely cafes/restaurants to try. Alex was really friendly, nothing was too much trouble for her.
Couldn't fault it
A lovely big room with big twin beds, quiet and very. Lean but the guest house is made by the warmth and friendliness of the owner who was more than happy to provide recommendations. Parking was definitely a bonus too
The rooms were clean and spacious with daily cleaning and care.

Alex was very kind and upgraded our room to a cooler one during the heatwave, which made our stay much more comfortable. She also recommended great places to visit around the city, and we ended up falling even more in love with it. Thank you as well for the cookies for my son — such a thoughtful touch.

The location was very central to most things via foot including the train station, the town, river and Anne Hathaways Cottage. The host is a very easy to communicate with and gave so many helpful recommendations for places to eat and activities in town.

Very welcoming. Clean and close to amenities
Super clean with a hot shower. They cleaned and turned down our beds during our stay and changed the towels. Exceptional super fast wifi. The host was supportive of any questions I had. Central to town.
Loved everything... so that was nothing I did not like.
Our room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed for our overnight stay. Our host was lovely and very easy to contact. I am vegan and she left oat milk and a vegan biscuit for me on the tea tray which is something that I don't usually find. The property is a short walk away from the town centre and the RSC - it took us less than ten minutes. Breakfast isn't provided but our host advised us on where to go including a place that gives discount if you are a guest at Salamander.
Nothing - everything was perfect.
We have stayed here before and it is one of our favourite places to stay when we come to the theatre in Stratford! It always has everything we need and the communication pre and during our visit is excellent. The location is excellent too - just a short walk to the theatre!!

Excellent service, the owner, Alex was fantastic with exceptional help and advice clearly knows the area and restaurants nearby very well. The room was beautiful, with lovely, clean bathroom very cosy and welcoming felt like a home away from home. The location to the town centre was perfect.

Alex was fantastic, very freiendly, helpful and informative.
We didn’t have breakfast at the Guest House but had 20%off at a nearby cafe. It was very good mainly due to the variety of dishes on offer. The venue was v good - there are plenty of things to do in Stratford & we particularly enjoyed a 30 minute boat trip with maps & audio.
The limited parking in Stratford which is only to be expected in a popular tourist spot.
Host Alex was so welcoming and kind throughout my stay. It was wonderful to get a personal tour of the best places to eat and drink, including some budget-friendly spots, as well as recommendations for things to see and do in the city. The room was tidy, comfortable and modern.
Room very cosy and clean. Alex looked after us amazingly. Great location with parking.

Clean, spacious. The host Alex was super friendly and helpful orientating us around the town. The bed was very comfortable and did I mention everything was clean
Our short stay
This is a lovely guest house right in the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon. The ground floor family rooms were ideal for us travelling with two children. We also used the lounge in the main house to eat a picnic tea one night. It was great to be able to easily walk around the town from here and to get to the theatre quickly.
Alex, the host was so friendly and helpful! She had the best tips for making the most of our trip. Location was perfect, and the beds were so comfortable we didn’t want to leave!
Excellent central location. Host very friendly and attentive. Room immaculate and beds extremely comfy. Would definitely stay here again.
