On entering you see a good bar and eating area (kitchen was closed during our stay) but the location near the end of the High Street put many of the towns other pubs and eateries close to the hotel. Car parking was at the NCP just around the back. As to be expected in such an old building, it had many quirky features, but the room had everything we needed and we got a few good nights sleep.

I know it's a 500 year old inn, and that explains a lot of its quirks. But large amounts of black mold in every corner of the shower upon checking in isn't related to the building age. Some shower spray would help that. And there's WiFi, but we couldn't access it from inside our room for more than a few seconds at a time. I wouldn't stay again. At least it was pretty cheap.

I will say that the staff were kind, the hot water worked, and the sheets & towels seemed clean, but the rest of the room/premises were filthy. The kitchen was never open, the carpet was thin & scratchy, and didn’t seem to have been replaced or cleaned since the 1970s, the toilet seat was crooked, and the stall shower in my room had a shocking amount of black mold.
The pictures of the patio furniture were inaccurate. They had old wooden picnic benches with overflowing ashtrays. I don’t mind old or small, but this was unhygienic.

Charming pub right in the centre of Stratford Upon Avon. Easy to walk to all main attractions. Staff friendly and happy to assist me with my rather awkwardly sized bag. Bed comfortable, lovely hot shower. Would recommend.
