We booked the Viola suite which was beautiful, stunning bathroom (the only negative was that the TV in the bathroom didn't work). Helpful staff. Fantastic location, couldn't fault it. It's just a shame they charge guests £10 to park!

Lovely hotel and very convenient for doing things around Stratford-upon-Avon. Check-in staff were very helpful in suggesting some things to do and tips for getting into places like Warwick cheaper. The hotel has paid parking lot but there is a city long-stay car park behind the hotel that is cheaper rates.
