CanadaThe place is clean and friendly staff made us comfortable. We like that the location was perfect! Parking was easy as we parked at the parking lot as instructed by the staff. Also the owners made kind effort to reach us before arrival to let us know they moved our room one floor down due to availability.
United States of AmericaOur hosts were charming and friendly; we loved chatting with them upon arrival and at breakfast. We appreciated their guidance on touring Stratford-Upon-Avon and their dining recommendations. Our room on the top floor was super cozy and comfortable, and was perfect after a long flight across the pond! Breakfast was especially nice, with classical music playing on vinyl and delicious breakfast choices. I had the vegetarian English breakfast and hubby had the full English breakfast.
United States of AmericaVery friendly and helpful hosts - even accommodating our need for a very early breakfast one day.

Host Info
The Emsley is a large genuine Victorian House built in 1860 and located in a conservation zone. It is very close to the centre of Stratford; a few minutes walk takes you to Shakespeare's House and all the old pubs, shops, cafe's and restaurants in Stratford. The train station is only a 2-3 minutes walk. Buses arrive down by the river about 10 minutes walk. The Avon River and the Royal Shakespeare Company's theatres are less than 10 minutes walk. Our free parking is in a large carpark only 70 metres from The Emsley, although there is one car park directly outside for drop offs and overnight parking. Stratford is very popular with tourists who come to see the historic town, visit the 5 Shakespeare sites and attend plays at the RSC theatres.
