The stay was great, my only concern was with Expedia, I booked a room with full breakfast, then moved the day on one day, Expedia changed the date and I paid the difference, what didn’t tell me was the booking now didn’t include breakfast!! The stay at the hotel was great, great position, nice bar.

It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay in an ideally located Hotel. We had an elderly Aunt with us who celebrated her 90th birthday here and the staff could not have been nicer to her on her big occasion even bringing over a cake and singing Happy Birthday to her

This is a great hotel in the middle of Stratford. Easy to drive to . The car park was full so we waited and eventually parked. Check in again was easy. Our room was great well equipped with all the usual toiletries etc The bed was very comfy and had a good nights sleep. We went into the bar at night and they served some great local beers and as residents' we received 10% off. Breakfast again was good as it is served at the table. Well presented and well cooked. We would stay there again. Great location.
