Stay at Twelfth Night Guest House in Stratford-upon-Avon
Nestled on Evesham Place, Twelfth Night Guest House is a characterful Victorian villa built in 1897, offering guests a warm and authentic place to stay in Stratford-upon-Avon. With a rich theatrical history – it was once home to Royal Shakespeare Company actors – it makes for an atmospheric base just a short stroll from the town’s historic streets, riverside paths and world‑famous theatres. This friendly guest house blends period charm with genuine hospitality, appealing to visitors who want something more personal than a large hotel.
The setting is peaceful yet central, making it ideal for weekend breaks, theatre trips and exploring Shakespeare’s home town on foot. Free on-site parking adds extra convenience for those arriving by car, and the inclusive breakfast and relaxed check-in arrangements help create a stay that feels both easy and unhurried. Twelfth Night Guest House has long been known locally for its welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful touches and sense of history, all wrapped up in the comfort of a well‑loved home.
Rooms & comfort
As a traditional guest house, the rooms at Twelfth Night focus on warmth, personality and homely comfort rather than modern hotel minimalism. Expect the charm of a Victorian villa combined with the practicality of a mid-range price point. Each room reflects the building’s character, with period features and a cosy feel that suits guests looking for something with a little more individuality than standard chain accommodation.
The guest house is well suited to solo travellers, couples and those visiting for theatre performances or sightseeing. Given the age of the building, layouts and features can vary slightly, so travellers with particular requirements – such as room size, bathroom style or mobility needs – should contact the owners in advance to ensure the best match for their stay.
