A luxury, modern apartment in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon - stylishly decorated, with a nod to the Bard!

If you like being right in the middle of the action, just a short walk from Shakespeare's birthplace, the RSC and host of great pubs and restaurants, this is the place for you.

The open-plan living & dining area is spacious and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms have large double beds and fitted wardrobes.

The perfect place to stay for a weekend break or longer.

The space
Set on the first floor of the recently converted Central chambers, the Bard's Loft is a stylishly decorated, modern two-bedroom apartment.

With its four Georgian windows overlooking Henley St, home of Shakespeare's birthplace, the spacious open-plan living and dining area is the perfect spot to relax after a day's sightseeing or an evening at the theatre.

The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need during your stay.

A short corridor leads to the master bedroom with its comfortable super-king double bed (which can be made up as two twins if needed), TV, ensuite shower and bath.

The second bedroom is almost as big, with a king-sized double bed and easy access to the main shower room just across the corridor. Both bedrooms face on to the inner-atrium providing a peaceful night's sleep despite the central location.

Other things to note
The Bard's Loft is an easy ten-minute walk from Stratford Railway Station.

If arriving by car, there's a short stay car park just a two-minute walk away and a long stay (£4 per day) less than five minutes away. Your host will provide full details after booking.

Hi, I’m Derek, I’ve worked in the travel industry for my whole career and until recently was CEO of the UK’s best known luxury tour operator, so I’m a firm believer in great customer service. I wanted to create a cool space right in the heart of Stratford upon Avon where visitors could feel part of the action but still relax in a chilled out environment… and so The Bard’s Loft was born! Stratford is my home. I hope you love it as much as I do!
