    We did enjoy our stay because it was an old period property but I felt it lacked something in the service.

    We were not given the room we booked on Booking.com, which we specifically chose for the period features. We were given a room in the modern annex. However, after an unhelpful member of staff on the desk finally found someone in charge to speak to, they upgraded us to a lovely room. It did upset me to begin with, but it was resolved. The lounge area was unattended when we arrived for a coffee on Sunday evening.

    Location was ideal for Stratford on Avon town. The hotel was old and had lots of character and charm. The breakfast was excellent with good quality food.

    Dinner menu. Too many vegetarian dishes and not enough plain food. Price of breakfast. Breakfast was too expensive for someone who only has toast, marmalade and a cup of tea! Could be a proper menu not just one price for anything. Lounge; twice when we went in there it was too cold to sit and read.

    Good swimming pool, sauna, steam room, changing rooms etc. Very clean. Clean room and hotel generally although some communal areas looked rather 'well worn'. Comfy bed. Polite, helpful staff

    An excellent breakfast with quality ingredients was spoiled somewhat by being served with toast made from thin pre sliced bread. There are several artisan bakers in the area.

    Very comfortable room/suite at a good price located in the old part of the hotel. (People with mobility issues would struggle but we liked it) Just a short scenic walk from most tourist venues including the theatre.

    Dinning room leaves much to be desired, it desperately need refurbishment . The wallpaper is very dirty. The staff who served us forgot our starter and brought the mains after a good 15min wait , the cost of the two burgers and a mid range bottle of wine can to £77 NOT IMPRESED ! Breakfast wasn’t much better I ORDERED FULL ENGLISH with no bacon or tomato when it came there were no eggs either. My wife’s full English had overcooked scramble eggs the tomato was hard and the mushroom was undercooked and dry, not bad for £24 per head. Would I stop here again, well yes I would as the hotel is great but I would not under any circumstances eat here, there are many restaurants and cafe just a short walk away. It’s such a shame but I don’t think that they covered the restaurants expenses on the one night we ate there.

    Bedroom and the majority of the public areas were very good, and it was only 15min walk from the centre of town.

    A little dated in parts and I think due for a refurbishment in some places . There was quite a lot of dust around the place . I know it’s an old building but there was a lot of dust on top of the curtain rails in the main lounges . Also in our bedroom, cobwebs from the smoke alarm and also on the beams . If fact you could see where someone had drawn in it . The rest of the room & bathroom was clean I just think a regular deep clean is needed across the hotel .

    Great location & good staff . It was our anniversary so had an upgrade & some chocolates which was a lovely touch . Large room . Good breakfast apart from extra supplements.

    We found facilities, food and drinks were very expensive. Also room wasn't ready dispite have booked a few weeks ahead and I asked for a twin room as I was sharing with my daughter only to find that they only had a king that the had to be converted to a twin while we were unpacking!

    The grounds were beautiful and it had the benefit of a swimming pool

    Location to the centre of Stratford is great. The period features of the hotel make it a nice place to stay in keeping with the area and the spa and pool area are clean and good quality. The spa treatments are very good but quite expensive.

    Having to pay £7 for parking for a flock of birds to poo all over my car and having to spend £15 to get it cleaned . So all in all cost me £22 to park my car in a hotel car park that I feel should have been included in the price of the hotel .

    Lovely building quirky in a great location

    There were ants in the bathroom crawling around the sink. Staff were slow and reception desks for the gym and main reception were unmanned at times and had guests waiting.

    Beautiful hotel in an idyllic location. Made to feel special on arrival with a birthday postcard and some chocolates a very thoughtful gesture.
