Guest Reviews
- Ann (9/5): Ideal place to stay overnight. - Room was spacious, clean and quiet, as requested. The owners were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious! I didn't specify, but I'm 77 with a fairly recently replaced knee so the room being on the second floor up a steep staircase was initially a bit of an inconvenience. However, I negotiated it without mishap. The bedroom was lovely and the whole experience was very good.
- Rachel (10/5): Really comfortable welcoming b&b - Delicious breakfast cooked to order Nothing !
- Jill (10/5): Ideal place to stay, close to the city centre and the RSC - Excellent breakfast. Great location if you’ve come to see a play at the RSC Nothing
- Phil (10/5): Lovely hosts and great location. - Great location and fantastic breakfast.
- Monica (10/5): Great value in terms of money, location, and hospitality. - What did we like? First of all, the hosts, Diana and Jim- they were so welcoming, friendly, warm, and helpful. The location was perfect, quiet rooms, and wonderful breakfast. We drove straight to Stratford after landing in London and the hosts were home to greet us a little early. We would definitely stay again if ever back to the area. Nothing!

- Anna-Maria (10/5): - It was a lovely stay. Owners were very nice. For us, it was the parking with a child under 1 and a disabled son. There is a private parking but not close enough for us. We did manage to park opposite with a blue badge otherwise we would have had to move our car early morning.

Habitación cómoda y amplia.
Secador de pelo.
Se va andando al centro en unos minutos.
Tienes aparcamiento privado en la calle.
Decoración de navidad muy bonita El baño está demasiado pegado a la pared y lo hace un poco incómodo.
El aparcamiento está un poco mal señalizado y el suelo se embarra si llueve.
Por la noche apagan la calefacción y te quedas sin agua caliente (estaba duchándome y empezó a salir solo agua fría)
