The White Swan Hotel

“Stay and have breakfast where Shakespeare might have visited.”

Just off of the market square it's perfectly situated. All of the shops, tons of restaurants, and the theatre are just a short walk away.

Just off of the market square it's perfectly situated. All of the shops, tons of restaurants, and the theatre are just a short walk away. About 2 blocks down Rother street is the best used bookstore we've ever seen - and it benefits the Stratford Hospice. There's a launderette a 2-minute walk away and a One Stop shop two doors away. Both of the women in reception were very welcoming and helpful - they really set the tone for our stay. The room we had (306) has a fabulous claw footed tub (and a really good separate shower). The window glass is well sound-proofed - after we closed it, we couldn't hear any of the noise below. The duvet was a bit warm, but that was the only even slightly negative thing we could come up with. Just a really good choice.

A warm welcome awaited on arrival to The White Swan. Laura on reception warmly greeted us and kindly managed to find us a room for a second night as we decided immediately that this was a great location and a beautifully presented hotel. We stayed in 2 differently priced rooms. The first (Room 114) was a double situated at the back of the hotel, although there was a fire escape directly outside the window, it didn’t feel intrusive. The room was immaculately clean with a fantastic shower over a bath and the decor had a modern but traditionally styled feel. Facilities included hairdryer, iron and ironing board, an espresso coffee machine a fridge/mini bar which was clearly priced. Room service was available on request and a selection of high end soap/shampoo/conditioner/hand cream provided. Second night in second room (101 “Hamlet”) at a higher price band gave us a spacious room (Laura advised that it is used as the bridal suite) with super king sized bed. An additional dressing room area and large bathroom with deep, copper roll top bath made this room both luxurious and more than a bit special as it is situated in the original 15th Century part of the building. A large vaulted ceiling and carved bed head and detail to fireplace transported you back to Tudor times, while still enjoying all the modern facilities of the first room. The restaurant was a treat for history lovers as displayed on the wall is a 16th century wall painting, It had a warm relaxing and inviting atmosphere and all the staff were incredibly welcoming and the food was high quality and beautifully presented and would definitely recommend the blade of beef 👌🏼. Breakfast was a blend of self and waiter service, continental breakfast was presented beautifully on buffet tables and you could make your own toast to suit individual preference and there was also a variety of juices and granola, musli and fresh and dried fruit and yoghurt available. A choice of cooked options were available via the menu and fresh tea and coffee brought to the table. We will definitely be making a return trip as this is a perfect central location in Stratford very close to Shakespeare’s birthplace and many other attractions that Stratford has to offer.
