Good location. Quiet. Comfortable beds and rooms well equipped. However, room and communal spaces were tired and dirty. Building work was taking place with no prior warning on booking. Breakfast in restaurant was slow and food was served cold.

The hotel is centrally located in close proximity fo Stratford's many attractions & resturants. Our only annoyance being on Saturday afternoon, when the room cleaner said she was unable to clean the room, because of "health & safety" - fortunately, we had no requirments at that time - but the peculier excuse seemed acrimoneous with her duties!

The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone visiting the Royal Shakespeare theatre, or wanting to visit Stratford upon Avon. Located just by the river, it is walking distance to the town and it is a beautiful walk. The staff are brilliant and even when there was a small issue with our room, it was sorted out immediately. We've stayed here multiple times for the theatre and will stay again.

We booked a two night stay at the Swan's Nest. It is obvious the hotel is going through a refurb, as there were workmen outside working on the various entrances. So the ground floor was a little dusty from the work, but easily forgiveable as the hotel is obviously refreshing itself. The reception/lobby area obviously has received the benefit and looks fabulous. And the Bistrot was equally visually lovely. Staff were very helpful, making suggestions of where to go, and were very discreet during our check-in. The room, itself, was perfectly good, comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good as well. Didn't a hear a sound outside the door or the window, which contributed greatly towards a good night's rest. Overall, no complaints and would stay again whenever back up in Warwickshire.
