Delve into the town’s rich heritage at the Tudor World Museum, or embark on a relaxing boat trip along the scenic River Avon. With its blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, there is no shortage of things to see and do in enchanting Stratford-upon-Avon.

Beautiful place comfortable with stunning scener
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
I don't think the photos on the website do it justice. It was spotless, well-appointed and bigger than expected. The hosts were wonderful; very friendly and helpful but they left you in peace. Their garden was wonderful and you could wander around their island at will. There was a lovely seating area right next to the river which we appreciated. The village was very friendly with a community run shop and there was an interesting heritage trail we followed. There was only one pub still open with somewhat restricted opening hours as another had recently closed and the hotel was boarded up but a 5 minute walk up the road took you to bus stops with hourly buses to Charlecote Park (alight at The Pheasant) and Stratford-upon-Avon in one direction and Warwick and Leamington Spa in the other. We made use of them each day. The friendly pub does takeaway curry but I don't think there was anywhere local to dine out. It wasn't a problem for us as the shop was well stocked and the facilities at the Writing Room very good. We will definitely go again.
