I'd like to give Stratford Manor 5 out of 5 but I can't. The service was great - really lovely staff. The room was ell equipped, comfortable and clean. Stratford Manor is a good place to stay if you want to spend the daytime in Stratford but get away from it when your day is done. It's a fairly short cab ride or a 5 minute drive out of town. 2 things let our stay down. The evening meal was dreadful. The menu looked promising but the chicken I ordered was inedible. I didn't even have anything else - it put me off. The breakfast this morning was fine - really quite good - but that evening meal should never have gone out. And it wasn't just unlucky because everything about it was bad. Even if it had been cooked well, it was just really unimaginative and amateur. Also the swimming pool was dirty. There were big clumps of hair drifting around when we used it in the evening. By the morning it was greatly improved. If QHotels can improve on the maintenance of the pool and the quality of the restaurant food, they'll have little else to worry about. I will stay there again because in other areas they're doing really well. But they need to sort out these 2 areas.
