Stratford Bed and Breakfast and its delightful owner, Mary Beth Cook, are as much a destination for us each year as the wonderful Utah Shakespearean Festival. The accomodations are perfectly comfortable and oh, the breakfasts! Mary Beth starts her guests' day with gourmet deliciousness and great conversation in the family-style dining room. If you don't have to be somewhere else, you can decompress on the utterly relaxing front porch or enjoy the garden in the back. Mary Beth makes a point of visiting with each guest just as much as they want to be visited with, while keeping her own place completely on track and helping other B&B hosts with projects at their facilities. Room rates are in line with local upscale hotels, but there is all the difference in the world between Mary Beth's gracious hospitality and a stale, impersonal hotel room. The Stratford is only a couple of minutes from the Festival theaters, so coming and going is quick and easy. We look forward to our return from the moment we leave each year!

This was one of the most memorable weekends we have had. The Stratford was delightful with delicious homemade breakfasts and fun guests to talk with. We loved sitting in the flower garden and watching the hummingbirds. We were only a block from the Shakespearean Festival, which is not to be missed! The downtown area was also within walking distance.We will definitely go back.

My various family members and I have stayed with Mary Beth for the past five years when we visit the USF. We love the location, just two blocks from the theathers, and we especially love Mary Beth. She makes the experience an experience. Her breakfasts are scrumptious (worth getting up for) and her lovely B&B is detailed down to the last button. Each room has its own ambiance and is so quiet and relaxing. I've stayed in other B&Bs in Cedar City but would never go anywhere else now. This is truly a great value.

I have been to a few bed and breakfasts in Cedar, and the Stratford is one of the best. The decor in the home lets you feel at once that you are having a perfect charming getaway! If you can make sure you tour the entire house. The food is wonderful and Mary Beth is a delightful host.
