    We have stayed in the Boathouse on several occasions - it is perfect for a 2 night stay (2 nights minimum). It is very rural and quiet, on the banks of the Avon, about 8 miles west of Stratford. Kate does some great breakfasts which are a change...

    Very friendly, warm welcome from Kate. The room was very comfy and had everything you would need , including a fridge with fresh milk. Kate was very knowledgeable and helpful about what to see in the area, so we found plenty to do besides going...

Kate Garton
Situated in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, on the banks of the River Avon, The Boathouse offers the ideal rural escape. The accommodation is comfortable, airy and bright with wonderful open views and a warm welcome. Each room has it's own private access, outside seating area and free Wifi. Benches are supplied down by the river to relax with a drink and watch the boats cruise by.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Boathouse. Please feel free to contact us with any queries - with 25 years experience in hospitality, we will do our very best to ensure you enjoy your stay.
We are perfectly located to enjoy the local area such as Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa and the Cotswolds. Surrounded by open countryside, there are great opportunities for long walks, cycling routes or a spot of fishing from the property and we have three good pubs within walking distance.
