Stratford House

Good location, friendly host. Clean. Spacious. I didn't realise I'd booked a shared kitchen, lounge set-up so this was a surprise. ould be made even clearer on the booking site. Despite the surprise we were happy with the room.

We would love proper curtains in the bedroom to give more privacy when the lights are on at night, (houses opposite can see right in) and to block sunlight in the morning allowing for deeper sleep. Using the shared front door key relies on each resident putting it back in the key box which hadn't happened when we arrived. Our host was apologetic and very helpful.

the host Natasha was charming and delightful and very helpful. the property had fantastic facilities. would be a great place to stay for a group of friends or family because of the common spaces, both inside and outside.

Very minor suggestion would be to give the check in instructions via text message at the checkin time of the guest. Had a little wait to get in, but only because im sure Natasha was being as lovely to another guest as she was to me.

Great kitchen and lounge and can walk into Stratford centre in 5 minutes so no call for taxis

A couple of lights not working in room

It was ok, pleasant. Comfy bed. Self-catering facilities, had shared kitchen where can cook own meals such as breakfast, dinner, etc. Had tea and coffee facilities in kitchen, not in room. Has shared lounge area with sofas, etc. In location close to a path leading to Anne Hathaway cottage. Not too far to walk to town centre to see the different sights.

Only issue I had was that noticed box and dirty old sock under the bed in room stayed in. So cleanliness was a bit of a concern due to that. Unsure if they look or clean under the beds after customer leaves their room. Room is small and basic. Small private shower room with toilet. Have to mind the step when go in room, as has small step down. Nearly didn't see step upon entering room, so if you don't see it in time, could accidentally fall. I didn't like the step feature, but that could just be me nitpicking.
