The Stratford Townhouse

Shabby room - bedside lights not working, rusting fittings & mouldy grout in the bathroom, overpowering plug in ‘air freshener’ - no bottled water or biscuits. Staff were nice …

The staff were very friendly and quick to respond to any requests such as more tea and coffee for the room. The room itself was a nice size. It looked out onto Shakespeare's school house which was such a beautiful sight every morning. It was a little stuffy in the room and we had to prop the windows open with some books but this didnt let in a lot of air. The wallpaper looked a little scorched, possibly from the lamp next to the bed and there was what looked like a little damp mark coming from behind the wallpaper. They weren't doing bed and breakfast when I booked but there was a change of management just before our stay. We were offered to book breakfast a few days before our visit. I booked in for one breakfast for both of us, £15 pp. This was a little costly for what we had (one bacon sandwich, one sausage sandwich and a pot of tea) but there was plenty of options that would warrant the cost. All in all, perfect location, beautiful view from the room, clean and staff were lovely.

Had a lovely stay for one night at the Townhouse. No complaints at all, would definately stay again.

The bathroom seemed a bit moldy, the sink was slow to drain, and there were big cracks in the bathroom wall too. I could hear everything out on the street from my room as well, which was quite disruptive in the mornings when trucks would be making noise outside— free alarm clock. I was bummed breakfast only started at 8am; I had to leave the hotel by 8:15 so didn’t get to use the hot breakfast option. The staff was really kind and helpful, and got me oat milk for some cereal and wrapped up some fruit to-go. Overall, not a terrible stay, but probably won’t stay there again.

Excellent room and fantastic restaurant
