Top Shakespeare's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

The Swans Nest Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice and central. Lots of renovations happening to the exterior which affected the overall feel of the place."

The White Swan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in the center of town. Rooms were OK and the General areas were historic and fun. No parking."

The Grosvenor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Building is very nice and staff were very friendly/helpful. The breakfast was also solid. Bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner but all in all a very good place to stay. 4/5 stars"

The DoubleTree by Hilton Stratford-upon-Avon

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and welcoming- great start to arrive to. Breakfast was great - very good range of choice and helpful staff when we requested food for allergies."

The Queens Head

8/10 Good

"The Queen's Head is small, comfortable, good value, and convenient to local sights, but it's fairly basic inn-style accommodation above a lively pub. Staff are friendly and helpful, but they are mostly pub staff. The bar across the street is noisy in the evenings (some wonderfully bad karaoke), which some guests may find disruptive. Its main virtue is that it is cheap, clean and convenient."

Stratford Studios

10/10 Excellent

"The studio was quite modern and very clean. The location is very convenient to all of the sites. It is in a very quiet and safe space."

Bodhi Tree Cottage - Grove Road Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far the best value option I found in Stratford for a group of six and it worked better than I could have hoped for a family group including two young kids. The living room area was more open plan than I’d realised, which was a bonus. Brilliant location - very central. The car park next door is handy with good availability, albeit not quite as competitively priced as Bodhi Cottage!"

Simpsons Cottage - Grove Road Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very close to everything. Chargeable parking literally next door which was very handy."
