Where you'll be

A walk from everything

  • The theatreThe Royal Shakespeare Theatre is an 11 minute walk, so there's no need to drive to a show.
  • Shakespeare's housesNew Place is 6 minutes on foot and his Birthplace 8. Anne Hathaway's Cottage is a 21 minute walk out to Shottery.
  • Food and drinkRestaurants in the old town and Bell Court are 5 to 10 minutes away, so the car can stay parked all evening.

Local guide

Questions

Staying in Stratford-upon-Avon

Anything else? Call us on 0333 335 5052, or read how booking works.

Are these holiday cottages?

No. They're studios and an apartment in one building at the edge of the old town, so the theatre and Shakespeare's houses are a walk away. If you want a cottage in the countryside they aren't that; if you want to stay in town, they suit.

Can a group stay together?

Yes. Book the whole building and you have six studios, each with its own ensuite, and the front door, hallway and stairs to your group alone. It's good for wedding parties and theatre trips.

Is there parking?

Yes. Parking on site is free, first come first served, with paid street parking close by if it's full.
