My mother and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at D & K Shady Nook during a Mother's Day visit to Stratford- our only regret: it was not long enough! Very gracious hosts, impeccably clean, extremely comfortable beds, and a healthy and varied breakfast: what more could one ask for? Shady Nook is an excellent choice when visiting the Festival.

Doug and Kathy go out of their way to provide guests with a home-like warm friendly experience. D&K is an ideal bed and breakfast for a Shakespeare Festival visit.
