I stayed at the Old Rectory whilst on business in nearby Warwick and found it absolutely delightful. It is very much a B & B, with no evening meals available, but there is a comfortable lounge with a selection of books and an 'honesty bar'. How often do you find that?
The Old Rectory is run by Christine and Chris who are friendly, welcoming and cannot do enough to help.
I stayed in the Shakespear Suite, which has a massive and comfy 4 poster bed, tasteful period furniture and a large bathroom with spa bath and shower. The room was warm, spotlessly clean, had the usual tea & coffee facilities, free wi-fi, which worked well, and TV, although small and with only with the basic 5 channels.
The location is great in as much as it is seconds from the main road between Warwick and Stratford, but in the quiet, secluded and totally unspoilt hamlet of Sherbourne. I didn't notice any noise from the main road although, depending on the room, it could be an issue in summer with windows open.
The only down-side to the location is that Sherbourne has no pubs or restaurants, the nearest being in nearby Barford, where the Granville Arms does superb meals. This is an easy and safe 20 minutes walk in daylight but a bit tricky after dark.
Breakfast is continental only, unless you pay extra and book in advance, but you get a good selection of cerials, toast, fruit salads, yogurts, cheeses and cold meats. If you've eaten in the Granville the night before that's all you're likely to want!
The prices are perhaps a bit on the high side, given the limited facilities, but this is an expensive part of the country and, for someone travelling on expenses (but with a set budget) I certainly didn't feel cheated and have paid similar amounts in the area for a far lower standard of accommodation and service.
I can appreciate that the Old Rectory is not everyone's cup of tea, but I would certainly stay here again and would thoroughly recommend it for the lone business traveller who just wants a quiet and relaxing night's stay, provided they are willing to go out for their evening meal. It would also be great in the summer for couples who want to visit Warwick or Stratford and are happy to take a stroll out for a meal and drinks in the evening.
