Croft Guest House Stratford-upon-Avon 49 Shipston Road Online Booking

Warm and friendly atmosphere with that little touch of magic and lots of charm. We welcome you to the land of mystery, fairies and tales of long ago. Shakespeare's country and the town where he lived - his homes were Nash House on High Street and New Place where he lived with his family. The Royal Shakespeare Theatre sits opposite Bancroft Gardens which play host to open air entertainment during the summer months.

Walk along the streets - High Street and Sheep Street for shops, exclusive boutiques, fashion houses, jewellers, antiques, book stores, gifts, toys, chocolatiers and cheese mongers - there's something for everyone. Take a steam train ride or a boat up river for a relaxed day out.

Be sure to treat yourself to afternoon tea in one of the many delightful tea rooms and for something a little different why not hire a classic car and head off in to the Cotswolds. A short drive away you will find Oxford, Vale of Evesham and Warwick Castle - filled with historical artifacts, stories of highwaymen, the River and Island, Peacock Gardens, Victorian Rose Gardens and makes for a magical day out for families.

Plenty of sports on offer in the area with angling, boating, archery, cricket, football, horse riding and tennis.
