A first-class apartment, superbly clean, comfortable and well-equipped, with generous, helpful owners. If you're looking for accommodation in Stratford, you really can't do better.

A well equipped & cosy retreat close to the centre of Stratford. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only issue we had was that the pavements between the apartment and the town were too narrow and uneven for a wheelchair. I'm sure that would not be a problem for anyone more mobile!
