Lovely hotel and very convenient for doing things around Stratford-upon-Avon. Check-in staff were very helpful in suggesting some things to do and tips for getting into places like Warwick cheaper. The hotel has paid parking lot but there is a city long-stay car park behind the hotel that is cheaper rates.

Comfortable bed, helpful staff. Have never stayed in a dog friendly hotel before and noticed a strange smell in the room ? cleaning products. Good choices for cooked breakfast, however, long wait time, cold poached eggs and the untoasted sourdough with avocado were a disappointment. Hotel very conveniently located for the theatre and town centre.
