Arden Park Guest House (100% Non Smoking)  

Draps sales, personnel peu acceuillant

It was fairly close to the train station, shopping.

We only met the one owner of Arden Park. (Mark) We never met his wife. He was less than friendly. In fact he was rather rude verbally, critical, and not helpful. We were very dissapponted! We were shocked to find out we were on a murphy bed. It was not comfortable, I thought it was a sofa bed matress. The stairs going up to the second floor (actually third floor) were a night mare. We were watched as we went up the stairs while the owner said "mind the wall paper!" We were uncertain if we could get our suitases up the stairs they were so steep. (I could have gone up a pull down ladder and it would have been the same.) It took two of us to move each suitcase down the stairs (one at a time) This room was obviously the attic converted, but you needed to be less than 5' 3" tall to be in the room, and the toilet did not flush! Please note we both are active hikers who are physically fit and capable. I would feel very sorry for anyone using that sapce and stairs if they were not physically fit!

The guest house is conveniently located within walking distance of most tourist attractions in Stratford. It is nicely furnished with an Asian theme. The owner's wife was very helpful and polite.

The owner seemed bothered and a bit unfriendly when we first arrived on Sunday afternoon. Later he was in a better mood.

Very comfy beds and the location was good for what we wanted The room was clean and suitable for a one night stay- small bathroom! But everything worked

The "guest parking" was actually a public car park approx 100 yards away The host does not stay in the property overnight and no explanation was given about what to do in an emergency There are SO many rules about what you can't do....no smokig/no music/ not to be disruptive etc and we are 2 middle aged women! The host was uninterested and it all seemed like a big effort- we had to pay before we saw our rooms as he wouldn't be available the next day, he was not welcoming- not rude but largely dismissive and couldn't be bothered attitude Breakfast choice was very limited and not worth the money

Within walking distance of theatres and resturants. Very reasonably priced. Clean. Comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Parking difficult but propriator very helpful.

It was in a really good zone in the city. And the rooms looked great!

The bed was doing noices so I couldn´t fel asleep instantly

clean and convenient

reasonably priced, good location and lovely breakfast. Parking convenient

Very comfortable and spacious room. Location was ideal for visiting tourist attractions with very reasonabley priced parking nearby. The family room does not involve going into the main house which adds some flexiblity to the stay. Would use this guest house again.

Convenient location to town centre. Very clean accommodation. Very friendly staff. Nice and quiet.

We really enjoyed the Arden Park Guest House. It was walkin distance to the train station and the center of town. Mark was very accommodating to our needs and the breakfast they served was excellent. The beds were the most comfortable of all of our guest house experiences while in England.

The location is perfect for a theatre weekend.

Arden Park is conveniently located near the train station and the town center. Our host voluntarily gave us information about getting around Stratford-upon-Avon and gives his guests access to a netbook in the front hall for accessing more information. Decor throughout was lovely. Our room, which overlooked a back patio, was quiet; and the full cold breakfast (ham, cheese, croissant, cereal, yogurt, tea, etc.) was delicious. Arden Park is my idea of a charming B&B.

As with most B&Bs in Great Britain, there is no lift. You must be able to climb narrow stairs to the guest rooms.
