We stayed at the Alveston Manor for a night whilst in Stratford to go to the theatre. The hotel is conveniently located just over the bridge past Cox's Yard and in lovely grounds. Parking is available on- site for £5 a day, which seems a bit of a con since you're bound to park there!

Being our wedding anniversary, I had booked a 4-poster room in the main house which proved to be of good size and pleasantly furnished. Not extravagantly elegant or particularly noteworthy, but characterful and reasonable value. The floorboards creak a lot, so if you think this will be annoying, I'd suggest booking a room away from the main house! Also, the main building is adjacent to a busy main road and may prove an irritation for some travellers, especially light sleepers.

We walked into town for a meal in the evening so didn't eat in the restaurant until breakfast the following morning. Breakfast selection was good, standard fayre that set us up nicely for the day!

All staff that attended to us were very pleasant & the hotel has a nice swimming pool, which may be of value to travellers looking for a break from Shakespeare!

One other small point of niggle in addition to having to pay £5 a day carparking was the £2 charge added to our account for paying by credit card!

We would like to thank everyone who made the Keeling/Trow wedding such a memorable day.We were all made to feel very comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. We would like to thank Laura for her help organising the day and a very big thank you to Keith who stayed with us throughout the evening making sure the meal was perfect and guests did not want for anything. Thank you so much Keith. Our stay was wonderful and wedding party guests who stayed the evening all said the same. The rooms were lovely and the breakfast was the perfect meal to start the day. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel for the perfect wedding venue.

We stayed at the Alveston for 2 nights to celebrate a friend's 50th. The hotel is in a great location just across the bridge from Stratford centre. The building is very impressive as you approach. The hotel itself is a little tired but it didn't away from our wonderful weekend. The biggest bonus to this hotel is it's STAFF. Nothing is too much trouble. They go out of there way to be helpful in every way. We had a great and memorable weekend. And it all looked in nicer in the snow. Thanks very much to all at the Alveston. You will see us again.

Stayed here on an evening we were booked to see The Merchant of Venice, and it was lovely, as was the pre theatre dinner with marvelous food and the sweet on our return. The RSC was equally as wonderful (breath taking actually with fine performances) and an easy wander across the bridge to the theatre
