friendly host , location

Stayed in May 2024

This isn't a dislike, but more a share. For some reason, I thought the room I booked faced the garden. It actually looked directly into the driveway and the room entry is from the parking lot. It isn't a big deal since we were there for a short time (arriving around 5 pm and taking off the next morning). But anyone booking the larger family room might want to clarify which room he/she would get if this important.

The beds were very comfortable and the room was very pleasant. The proprietor was really welcoming, warm, and funny. Also, it was quiet even though we were super close to the restaurant and to RSC. On this accounts, I recommend Salamander Inn highly.

Car park was excellent Very close to the theatre

On quite a busy road and our room was at the front. We had ear plugs so not a problem.

Very clean, family room spacious, great onsite parking and located very close to the centre. Comfy beds too. A lovely outlook across the road to the park.

I don't really have any comments here about things I didn't like. Just be aware: the street can be a bit busy at times (not at night--it was very quiet then) and the Salamander no longer serves breakfast.

This is my second stay at Salamander--I also stayed here in 2019. I love the location. The train station and major Stratford upon Avon attractions are within easy walking distance. The new innkeeper--daughter of the previous owners--was welcoming and friendly. She had undertaken some major renovations, and the Salamander looks amazing. The beds are very comfortable, the rooms are nice and airy, and everything was clean and up-to-date. Alex (innkeeper) provided helpful tips about where to eat and how to see actors after the RSC production! There is a small park across the street from Salamander where you can hang out on a hot day or if someone in your party is not as into seeing all the Shakespeare sights as you are! I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Stratford upon Avon.

Everything was superb - Alex was extremely helpful, the room and en-suite were well appointed, fresh and spotlessly clean and the position was perfect for access to the city centre and the train station.

Alex is a fantastic host with a wonderful knowledge of Stratford Upon Avon and the Cotswolds'. The rooms were beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and spacious. Lovely tea and coffee facilities with yummy biscuits. Centrally located in the heart of Stratford but very quiet. 5 minute walk to the town center, lots of lovely shops, eateries and pubs. Easy drive to the beautiful Cotswolds and Alex recommended several towns to visit and places to stop for breakfast and lunch. Our stay exceeded all expectations.

The host Alex was very friendly and helpful. The room I stayed in (I was upgraded) was SO clean and fresh. Comfortable and good facilities - like the complimentary tea and coffee. Added bonus was the fact the tv had access to Netflix. I just wanted to relax in the evening after a long day travelling so it was nice to relax and unwind.

Nothing. They do not offer breakfast but it is only a 5 minute walk to the nearest cafe.

Big room and big bathroom with a very comfortable bed. The owner’s father Pascal looked after us & was very helpful and friendly.

An ideal location & centre point between the Railway Station and Town Centre. The host Alex was fantastic, super attentive and supportive; she & her team gave the place a rare human touch. Very trusting and made a great trip even better.

Close to the scenic spot. very passionate，Very sweet.

Nothing. All was good. My only suggestion is that if you are staying during the warm weeks and are a light sleeper, you may want to have a room without a street exposure. With the windows closed, there is no street noise.

The room was spacious and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The hostess, Alex, was extremely helpful and went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. She also assisted us on 3 occasions with problems we encountered.

The guesthouse is very well located near numerous cafes for breakfast and restaurants for dinner. The hostess was enthusiastic and informative which made us feel very welcome. The property was bright, fresh and clean. The room was comfortable with free WiFi and Netflix if required. The tea tray had a nice selection of teas, coffee, hot chocolate with delicious biscuits . It was good value for money especially as it had free parking which was appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay

It was all good!

The rooms were fitted perfectly! My room was exceptionally clean, bright, comfortable, and quiet. It was close to all the important historical sites and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The bed was comfy and wonderful. I wanted to stay longer it was so nice, but I came for Shakespeare, not for the room!

Nothing, though be aware that there are stairs to the rooms though Alex is more than happy (insistent!) on carrying your luggage up them for you.

Recently refurbished so very clean and tidy. On site car parking. Very friendly and informative host (Alex). Location was very good for all the main attractions in Stratford, although you are probably better off driving to Anne Hathaway’s house, since it is a good 20 minute walk and the site was convenient local (Paid) parking.
