Great location...right opposite Shakespeare's place. We booked for a day but extended our stay to three days. A delightfully beautiful hotel with several common rooms and a beautiful courtyard garden in the center. The restaurant and bar are very popular on their own and highly rated.

Shakespeare’s View is a 5-star bed and breakfast in Stratford-upon-Avon, surrounded by pretty grounds and a fruit orchard. Each bright room has free WiFi and views of the surrounding countryside.

Guests can sample a locally sourced breakfast whilst admiring commanding views over the Avon Valley. Shakespeare’s View boasts a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking its one acre of garden and orchards.

From the moment we arrived we had a really lovely stay. Ellie is a really lovely, warm and kind woman. The B&B is in a lovely location - only a few miles outside the town but in the heart of the countryside. It was so peaceful. It was lovely seeing the birdlife and seemingly deer are often seen in the orchard. I am a fusspot when it comes to food so I was mega impressed by the delicious breakfast - home bread and jams, delicious hot veggie breakfast. The place was also spotless. Ellie was such a fantastic host. If you are staying in Stratford Upon Avon, I would highly recommend Shakespeare's View.

    Really lovely and stylish boutique hotel. One of the originals. Spacious room, elegant decorations, comfortable bed, Loved the heated floor in the bathroom! Very friendly staff and easy check-in - there is drop-off parking. Brilliant location within walking distance of the main Stratford attractions, including the theatre. Lots of pubs and cafes nearby if you don't want to pay hotel prices. I suspect we got a good winter break rate but I certainly book again if it was affordable.

    Very friendly professional staff, all areas designed beautifully so combined with the ambiance this makes it somewhere you want to be. We had dinner in their fabulous restaurant and the food was excellent. We had to leave really early the next morning so they packed up a lovely breakfast to take away. Thank you Baraset Barn for a fantastic stay.

    The hotel felt like an old manor house with loads of character even though many of the rooms are at the rear in a more modern section. The main common areas of the hotel, though, are part of the old manor house, or manor house design. Nice cosy old world bar area which was comfy and great to relax and enjoy a drink. It is very close to the town centre and was an easy walk for us. It had a spa to use if you wanted and it sits in lovely grounds. We would book this again if visiting Stratford upon Avon.

    The Townhouse ticks all the boxes for a perfect English Inn: a lovely bar, excellent food and friendly staff. In addition, it's a very comfortable place to stay with large rooms and very appealing interior design. It's an old building which has been well restored with lots of character and the decor is a stylish mix of modern and traditional.
