“In the heart of the bustling, timber framed Stratford you will find this beautifully restored hotel. Rooms have a modern twist on classic boutique style with bold statement wallpapers and smart en suite bathrooms. Downstairs there's a good bar and gourmet bistro popular amongst locals. ”

Hotel review

There is a reason that tourists and Stratfordians alike flock to Church Street House: there is nothing not to love. The hotel is ideally located in the heart of town, walking distance from the sights, sounds and shops of Stratford. The restaurant serves gourmet food all day and includes special diet menus and pre-theatre dinner menus as well as a delicious afternoon tea. The brassy bar has an excellent selection of wines which your waiter will talk you through. Bedrooms are decorated in a classic boudoir style, with unique theatrical touches such as statement wallpapers. Luxury touches include Feather & Black beds, complimentary Temple Spa toiletries and Nespresso machines. Whilst there are no restrictions on children, this is more of a grown-ups getaway, so it might be one to leave the kids at home.
