Chinese "Olde Worlde" hotel in Shakespeare country
Somthing badly wrong here. Food on offer was only Chinese plus two Tex-Mex dishes!! (Luckily very good traditional pub fare up the road). The hotel plays on the name of Shakespeare's mother and excellent 16th century farm visit in the village but our room was boring 21st century furnishings plus a totally awful art-deco style lampshade.
One couple arriving after us found no record of their booking even though they had printed confirmation. Another arrived another day to find no manager/ess on the premises and subsequently no useful answers to queries.
To be fair, the rooms are in fairly good condition, clean and inexpensive. Staff very pleasant.
But it could be SO much better.
The atmosphere and ambience was wonderful in this historic old inn and staff were very friendly. The pub was gret but no food is available because they are no longer running the restaurant. Conveniently located for touring the Cotswolds and Stratford on Avon by car
Biggest issie is very poor wifi in rooms except on phones, ipad connectons dropped off as soon as you leave the main pub area
A lovely village pub with ample parking. Flag stone floors in the main bar and plenty of seating front and back gardens.
Only a couple of letdowns were the shower didn't work (slight dribble) but amazing water pressure in the bath made it a bit difficult for someone used to shower-this would be a simple fix.
The room was spacious and clean and clearly some effort has been made to spruce up by the new owners.
This would be a fantastic destination pub if food was available and could possibly turn the future of this vital village asset into a blooming business. and we really wish them luck.
My stay was ok. Took over an hour to check in when it didn't appear the pub overly busy. They did provide a complimentary drink at the bar for the inconvenience, so that was good.
The room was dated, but clean. The mattress was very firm and squeaky, but on the whole the room was ok. If you are looking for a cheap and cheerful stop off near Stratford then this would be an option.
Made a booking to stay overnight, as I was working late and did not want to travel home.
Received confirmation of booking and travelled to location, to be told that there were no rooms available!
Ended up paying twice as much trying to find alternative accommodation at 9.30pm.
Not happy.
Admittedly the cellar was flooded but it was also very tired, no shower curtain or fitting for head or toilet roll for example. Due to flooding (from storm) there was no bar/food or coffee area. It is handy for Stratford and Landlord was a lovely guy
Absolutely fab stay staff amazing and friendly couldn't do enough to help. Rooms and pub a lovely with original features room was spotless and bed comfy. In a nice little village. The owners Rob a Vicky reserved us a table for the football was really busy but no wait on drinks service was flawless. There not currently serving food but buffett platters was put on all tables for free during the football game which was a lovely touch. Will defo be returning and recommend to others.
No food available, expensive "deluxe" rooms,no facilities in rooms which were dirty and smelly certanly not "recently updated" rooms as per website noisy leaking shower light fitting hanging from ceiling bar closed before 10pm ceiling full of damp and mould communal stairwell ceiling hanging down very dissapointed AVOID
Friendly place. A little tired but comfortable. Five minutes from the train station, handy and cheap for visiting Stratford on Avon.
Staff helpful and friendly.
What a magnificent Inn/Motel this was, very clean, the staff are very friendly and there for the customer, breakfast was great. A wonderful unique atmosphere
