Great Stay at Shakespeare Cottage

Shakespeare Cottage was a perfect venue for the six of us. It is in a great position to explore Stratford. The cottage is very comfortable and equipped to a high standard. We hope to return to Stratford in the future and would choose to stay in the cottage again.

Beautiful house within walking distance of town, river and theatre

Shakespeare Cottage is a beautiful house. It was perfect for our weekend getaway to Stratford. Wonderfully comfortable beds, relaxing sitting room and a well equipped kitchen. Great for self-catering and within a short walk of some lovely places to eat. Perfect!

Lovely cottage close to city centre

My friends and I stayed for three nights at this lovely cottage. It was the perfect location, close to town which enabled us to meet up with friends that live in the area. The cottage has everything you need for a nice break away; the beds were comfortable, kitchen well planned and a relaxing dining and living area. I’ll definitely book this place again.

A lovely family memory

The cottage was just perfect in every way. It allowed us to be together after a whole year. ( my son and daughter came from France). The house was comfy and user friendly. Everything was of good quality- bed linen, kitchen equipment etc. Sharon also allowed us to leave after 10am so we could make the best of our last moments together.

Nice vacation in Stratford-upon-Avon

We enjoyed our stay at Shakespeare Cottage. Very nice, clean and comfortable. There were a few things missing that would have made the stay perfect such as tissues, toiletries (there were very little provided given the number of people and days of the booking) but this is minor, we were able to source them from nearby supermarkets.

Great place to stay

Shakespeare Cottage is excellent in all ways. Clean and comfortable with everything you could want for the ideal stay. The owners and Sharon, the housekeeper, have thought of everything and utilised the space in the best possible way. It was great for four of us but might be a bit of a squeeze for six. Having said that, I would highly recommend this property. The location is perfect for all Stratford’s attractions.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Stratford Upon Avon

We had a lovely 4 night stay in the Shakespeare Cottage. Everything was clean and nicely done up. The beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything worked well. The location is unbeatable - a few minutes' walk to all the attractions that Stratford-Upon-Avon has to offer.

Great house. Great location

The house was very clean, comfortable and in a great central location. The only things that were missing were some basics like salt and pepper, hand wash in all the bathrooms and more than one toilet roll in the toilets! Those things would have made it 10/10.

Comfortable as well as beautiful

Had a lovely fews days in this gorgeous house. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Great location. Everything is within easy walking distance and if you dont feel like cooking the food at the One Elm is very good. The only niggle we had was the level of heating as the weather had turned wet and chilly, and the stone and wooden floors meantbit sometimes felt a little cool.

Comfortable, clean and convenient

This was our second stay at Shakespeare Cottage. Once again it was cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The beds are very comfortable, bedding and towels high quality. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses. The cottage is very convenient, with theatres, restaurants, cafes within easy walking distance. One small quibble and that is that the kitchen could do with a new set of sharp knives. Highly recommended. We look forward to our next stay.

Excellent on all points

We had a fantastic stay in Shakespeare cottage, everything was ideal. The location is great, everything is within walking distance and there is buses nearby to visit further away attractions like castles. The comfort of beds, sofa and armchairs really allows some relaxing time, with a colourful and elegant decoration. Cleanliness is spot on, as well as the equipment and space, ideal for 6 people. I just can't find anything negative to say about this place, it was perfect ! A really good value for money too. Thank you very much

Wonderfully relaxing weekend in Stratford upon Avon

Just returned from a delightful weekend away with two school friends at Shakespeare Cottage. Check in was easy and we parked in a nearby carpark which had plenty of spaces. We were charmed by the terraced house with its wooden and flagstone flooring and very tasteful decor complete with White Company bedding. All the bedrooms are a good size and having two bathrooms made things easy. We had a great time experiencing Stratford upon Avon: Parkrun on Saturday morning; cinema at the amazing Everyman in the evening; a Ghosts, Gore and Folklore tour of the RSC; bargain hunting in the charity shops; and a delicious Sunday Roast in the pub at the end of the road.

Fabulous stay

It was a fab little cottage right in the middle of Stratford. Great location. Everything was finished to a very high standard in the cottage and it was spotless. A fantastic welcome bottle and biscuits on arrival. Even milk in the fridge. Very accommodating lady who let us in to the cottage early. I really can’t fault the stay here. We all had a fab time and it was so lovely to come back to the cottage after walking around Stratford. The logs for the fire were very much appreciated too. I highly recommend this cottage.
