What an absolutely lovely stay! First I want to say that Victoria and Richard were wonderful host - very attentive to my needs and very friendly! The property was modern and clean and every amenity was provided. The loveliest part was the 3-tiered deck that opened directly onto the River Avon! Fed ducks and swans as they paddled by and just relaxed! Perfect stay centrally located for all Shakespeare enthusiasts! Loved this place!

Stayed at the Lily Pad for 4 years running, this time for 2 weeks, we didn’t need to go anywhere as all we wanted was to relax in a lovely setting, which we certainly did. We fished from the private jetty catching, roach, rudd, perch and a couple of pike. The hosts are perfect and ensure their guests are well looked after.

Beautiful apartment, with lovely view

We loved our stay in The Lily Pad, it was spotlessly clean, lovely comfortable bed and fluffy towels. The decking and outdoor furniture and view of the river was really enjoyed. Our hosts Richard and Vicky were very welcoming and friendly, and there are lots of places to visit nearby.

Lily Pad was better than we expected . Looks much better than the photos. Bedroom and bathroom were fancy, heated towel rails and floor, very comfortable bed and setting on Avon was beautiful. Big kitchen with fully working appliances and heating. No problems at all with our stay.

Real Little Gem

The Lily Pad is absolutely delightful - a wonderfully relaxing spot right on the riverbank and with all amenities close at hand. I had a lovely time busy doing nothing and didn't feel guilty once. The weather was an added bonus. Very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Lovely short break...

Very spacious and well equipped with a comfortable bed and shower. The location is close to a number of places to eat including "The Bridge" and Harry Bones's take away pizza both which we would recommend. Prosecco in the fridge upon arrival was a nice touch! Great view over the river and a Co-op close by. We used the park and ride to get into Stratford which was only a few miles away. Would happily stay there again
