    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.

    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.

    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. 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.

    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.
