The one thing that was obvious about this hotel was the sence of togetherness , Ruby on the front dest set the scene by welcoming us ( 26 on a 60th weekend) in a very professional way, asking if we need anything, and giving advice about the hotel. The room was spotless, so again, great work Julie made us feel very welcome at breakfast , singing while public working is new to me. We were early , her reaction was to take a seat, have a cuppa and relax. Bonus ,Julie took time to put a birthday treat together, now that's going the extra step. Anita made sure we had everything we needed, taking time to again, giving us a feeling of , wow this place is different. Everyone, the night porter, the painters, batstaff, room maids, all made this weekend on to remember. To sum up , yes you can have a 5 star luxury hotel at £1000 a night, but it's the people that matter , and this hotel has made a perfect job of recruiting very gifted people.

This hotel is a gem of a place. Lovely warm welcome from the receptionist on duty on the evening of Wed 16th Oct. Room very clean and well set out, mini bar super- nice touch. Bar staff, restaurant manager and her excellant team were amazing and very switched on. Food superb- dinner and breakfast. Same waitress for both services, very amicable and chatty plus interested in us as guests. Pool and childrens facilities very impressive. Didn't try spa but will do next time. Overall, well impressed and well done to all.

We stayed at Stratford Manor as part of a short break to the area during the school summer holidays. We decided to stay over for 2 nights on a Sunday and Monday. Overall, I was impressed with the size, location and appointments of the hotel. On the downside, the food was average and the hotel is looking a little tired and in need of updating. We checked in on a Sunday afternoon, staff were very welcoming and friendly. Ours was a family room on an upper level to the right of the Reception, a little awkward to get cases up/down as the lifts didn't service every floor. The room was large enough for our family of 4, although the room was looking tired and in need of some modernising. The bathroom was much better with good facilities. We had chosen a room rate that included breakfast and evening meal, as we knew the hotel was a little remote and are not from the area. Breakfast selection on both days was comprehensive and there was plenty to go around. We dined on both evenings in the hotel and I found the food a little disappointing in flavour/texture (as if cooked from frozen), although the portion sizes and presentation were good. One of the best features of the hotel for us was the cinema room which we booked during our stay. This was a really different experience, with your own room to watch a movie on a huge screen, and included drinks, sweets and popcorn. The kids loved it. There was also a games room which the kids kept going back to, nice feature. We also used the swimming pool at the hotel once during our stay, this again was a really nice feature with sauna and steam room included, the pool was large enough for several people to share and enjoy a swim. The hotel is very large and has a lot of outside space, in a lovely leafy area. As a result, it never seemed bustling or busy and was generally quiet all the time. I sat in the outside seating area on one of the sunny evenings to enjoy a drink. The hotel is just about a 5 min drive from the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, so we took a short trip to see some of the tourist attractions around the Shakespeare experience and other older buildings. We also drove to Cadbury World near Birmingham, which is a little further away but did give us a chance to visit here. Our main reason for being in the area as a planned trip to Warwick Castle, where we also stayed over. All of the experiences reviewed separately. I thought our stay at Stratford Manor was very good and I would return. It would be nice to see the hotel being updated over the next few years to modernise and enhance the experience.
