Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, often mentioning the very comfortable beds, sofa, flatscreen TV, and the convenience of a coffee pod machine. The power shower is a highlight, with both fixed and moveable shower heads. A short walk through Shottery will take you to Stratford, or you can easily call for a taxi from the hotel, which is conveniently located near Anne Hathaway's cottage; some have noted the food quality doesn't always meet expectations.

comfortable room helpful staff delicious breakfast direct person slow checkout missing information
My room was beautiful and very comfortable. I loved the breakfasts, they filled me until dinnertime. The staff were helpful and I found them friendly.
The front desk person was direct, I think abrupt even. They took long to help me during checkout. They did not give the information or check out data I asked for.
