    "Generally ok, ( there was a bed and we were warm and dry) but wouldnt recommend to friends, the evening meal wasn't much to shout about and it looks as if this hotel takes expensive advantage of last minute weekend break takers due to it's relative proximity to Stratford." (107912609)

    The 'pub' part of the Hotel was excellent, with fantastic real ale and great, friendly service and likeable locals. The breakfast was adequate, and the owner was very approachable and friendly.

    "Apart from the unreliability of getting food, this was a good and friendly place to stay." (97958368)

    A biker friendly hotel with plenty of parking and situated in a good place for the Shakespeare Raceway.

    Only one, although the staff and the information booklet said evening meals till 9.00PM they closed the kitchen early on a Saturday night and even at 8.00PM would not offer anyone including residents any food at all!

    "The accommodation served its purpose but was quite pricey when you consider what was provided" (3304956885)

    It's proximity to Stratford-Upon-Avon

    The walls were paper-thin and rattled when someone closed a door. There was no remote control for the tv and the buttons to move up the channels and increase the volume were absent so could barely hear the tv.

    The New Inn Hotel, Stratford-Upon-Avon - Reviews & Ratings

    "This is a nice little Inn in a pretty village & very close to Stratford. It is adequate for an overnight stay. However the walls are terribly thin (as many other reviews have stated) so you can hear every word that the people in the next room are saying and if like us you get a noisy neighbour you can hear every creak, bump and conversation. The rooms are nice and clean and attractively decorated, however there are no toiletries supplied (I do always have my own but in this price range I would expect there to be some on offer, it is the first time I have not seen any in a B&B/Hotel bathroom). The TV is set very high on the wall so if you are short then you will struggle to reach to turn on and change channels. No remote means standing on tiptoes and going through 100 channels to get back to number 1 again (we also spent 5 mins hunting round the room for this remote only to find there wasnt one). Finally the Hotel reception is hidden round the corner from the bar so if you are unlucky you may stand for 10 mins at the bar waiting to check in only to find you have to go round the corner - a sign would be good . Otherwise fine just a bit overpriced for what you get." (3304792691)

    It was a lovely location in a really pretty little village with lots of nice walks nearby

    "On the whole a good experience, friendly and informative staff and excellent food. Room was comfortable and quiet at night although we had to climb a flight of stairs to get to it (not a problem for us but could be for someone elderly/disabled). Convenient location for visiting Stratford and other places of local interest. We would stay there again if visiting the area." (99553766)

    Easy to find, well signposted of the main road. No smoking in rooms or restaurant

    "Pleasant stay in a quiet hotel in a very quiet area. The rooms were as described and the staff were very friendly. We dined in the restaurant and the food was interesting. The duck in orange was good but the steak and ale pie was cooked with root vegetables so tasted of parsnip. The breakfast was well-cooked and fresh and served with a smile. All in all it was a pleasant stay in an unpretentious, comfortable hotel within easy reach of Stratford." (99174587)

    Clean, comfortable non-smoking rooms. Facilities description was accurate - no surprises.

    Nothing really. The artwork was not to my taste but was certainly not offensive.

    peace & tranquility decent beer in the bar

    the room was not all that large, but for just one night that's not too much of a problem

    "We were looking for a hotel that could accommodate us, our daughter and granddaughter, that was convenient for a wedding weekend in Stratford. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were kind and flexible. Talking to other guests at the wedding, we had far better value for money than those enjoying 4* accommodation!In addition I was very impressed with their fire safety measures." (3304650840)

    The staff were very welcoming and helpful especially to families with young children.

    Nothing it fitted our requirements perfectly.

    friendly staff, tidy rooms, good food.

    an area to sit, e.g. a lounge, with children, away from smoky bar would have been preferable.

    The Inn was of a high decorative standard and very clean throughout. The room was well presented, clean and had everything one would need. The food (we used the restaurant menu) was superb!

    no smoking by staff near guests' bedroom window staff bedroom was very close in proximity of guests' bedroom and their door needs oiling as well you could hear them chatting around 10.30 p.m. but then the rest of the night was quiet. The support staff wasn't very fothcoming in greetings like 'hello' or 'good mornig'. I didn't pack very well and when I asked for a shampoo my request was declined.

    Althought the room was quite small it was clean and comfortable. The staff seemed friendly and helpful and the food was very nice.

    Some squeaky floorboards could do with repair (particularly on the stairs) and try as we might we couldn't get the shower to give a comfortable temperature.

    "I requested a call at 7.30am and this was bang on time. All staff I encountered were most pleasant and polite. My overall experience was good marred only by the TV and my concerns about the open car park. I would, however, certainly stay here again." (2623849)

    Very friendly staff and a nice location. Room was better than expected and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.

    The TV in my room (Room 7)was not properly tuned in or was otherwise defective and I was only able to view one channel. This should have been picked up by staff and, as I could hear TV's in other rooms, mine was the only one effected. Secondly I was concerned about the security of my car as the car park where I had to leave it was next to the open road and thus made if vulnerable. Fortunately nothing untoward occurred.

    Clean, tidy, well-decorated, welcoming. Breakfast very good, excellent service.

    Room was a bit small, and there isn't much else in the village itself to see - this is a great place to sleep, but not to spend much time there otherwise.

    The room was well located and spacious

    The shower did not have any hot water and when we complained about it, the owner suggested he could have a look at it but did not provide any assistance with the 'sophisticated' buttons on the shower. In addition, the walls are very thin, sounded like the neighbours were in our bathroom.

    "The staff were friendly and helpful. The description was honest and clear, however I had expected the pub to be more homely and incorporate the restaurant. The pub was situated on the edge of a village with good access to countryside walks. We had anticipated the village having other facilities so felt a bit cut off and restricted in things to do. A car was essential as getting into Stratford was an effort." (2144673)

    Rooms clean; adequate for week-end break. Nice having local pub downstairs for community spirit
