Stay at Avonpark House in Stratford-upon-Avon
Avonpark House sits along Shipston Road, a well‑known approach into Stratford-upon-Avon that leads directly towards the River Avon and the historic heart of town. As a welcoming 4‑star guest house, it offers a homely alternative to large hotels, with an emphasis on comfort, friendly service and a handy location for sightseeing. Its riverside setting makes it a popular place to stay for travellers keen to explore Shakespeare’s home town on foot.
The atmosphere is relaxed and personal, with a traditional guest house feel that appeals to both leisure and business visitors.

Rooms & comfort
As a 4‑star guest house, Avonpark House offers comfortable en-suite rooms designed with practicality and an inviting feel in mind.

If you require particular room features—such as ground-floor rooms, specific layouts or accessibility considerations—it’s always best to contact the guest house in advance to discuss the most suitable options.
Food, drink & facilities
As with many guest houses in Stratford-upon-Avon, food and drink facilities focus on breakfast rather than full restaurant service. Guests can usually expect a freshly prepared morning meal to start the day, providing a comfortable base before heading out to enjoy the town’s many cafés, pubs and restaurants.
Breakfast options may vary through the year, particularly on busy festival weekends or around seasonal events. For the most up-to-date details on breakfast times and any additional services that might be available, it’s a good idea to check the guest house’s website or contact the team directly before arrival.
