My husband and I spent a relaxing 9 nights at Gerry and Patty's cozy studio on the banks of the Thames River, about 20 minutes from the Shakespeare Festival. In addition to being gracious and welcoming hosts, they were tremendous sources of good information on restaurants, local stores and parking near the Festival.
The pool on the property is a wonderful bonus; it is covered with a solar blanket which keeps the water not too warm, not too cold-refreshing and perfect for laps, exercise or just hanging. Kayaks, a canoe and bikes are also available.
The property is right on the river and there is a nature trail that goes around it. Good for walking, visiting the small zoo on the opposite shore (there's an albino Peacock!).
Bed was super comfortable, linens, towels (so many towels!) provided and the kitchen was fully stocked-they even provided milk and muffins to start our first morning off right. Well stocked bathroon-all kinds of shampoos, q tips, swabs, first aid kit and toothpaste to mention a few of the amenities.
The gardens are well-planned and peaceful with soft wind chimes.
We could not have asked for a better accomodations for our first trip to Stratford. We'll be back!
