    “The main reason I choose this house was it's proximity to the theaters.”

    We were in town for a few days and planned to see a few plays and we would not have a car. Walking distance to the theater was important to me, as we planned to walk everywhere and not deal with busses, etc...

    We were in town for a few days and planned to see a few plays and we would not have a car. Walking distance to the theater was important to me, as we planned to walk everywhere and not deal with busses, etc... This house was perfectly situated to the theaters and it was a lovely walk along the Avon River to the theaters. We were able to walk to the town center and see all the sights. It was a little longer walk from the train station but it is doable (maybe not with suitcases, we only had backbacks that first day we arrived as our luggage did not arrive with our flight). This location was perfect in regards to locatiomn to the things that were important to us. The house is clearly an older style home but nicely decorated and furnished. The kitchen was appropriately stocked and the beds were comfortable. One thing I had to get used to was the one step down into the kitchen (from the living room) and the one step down into the bathroom (from the hallway), so if you're not paying attention to it, you'll misstep like I did a few times. One thing to note is the stairs up to the second floor. They are narrow and steep, and the stair treads a higher than a normal step. By the end of the week, with all the walking we had done, the steps became a chore to get up with my husbands aching knees. That goodness there was a hot tub, as we hit the hot tub every evening for relief. The listing for this house noted there was a washer and dryer. After washing a load of the new clothes we had to buy, we realized the dryer was out of service. Lucky there is a laundrette just a few doors down the street, and lucky for me the owner was there the night I stopped in and I was able to buy some British coin from her to use the machines, as we did not have any British coin with us. So if the washer/dryer are important to you, perhaps ask if the dryer is working. The listing also noted that a hair dryer was provided but I could not find it in the house. I purchased a hair dryer and left it at the end of my stay. Lastly, as an Amerian, I struggled to use the shower despite there being posted instructions. I'm used to first turning the water on at the faucet tap/s, then adjusting to use the shower head, and that is what I was trying to do here, and hardly any water would could out of the shower head. Here, you don't turn the water on at the faucet. You turn it on from the shower bar itself. We figured that out on our last day. So having said all that, this place was great for the money. Hotels were so expensive when I looked around. The owners provide a housekeeper to communicate with during your stay. She was very friendly and asked if there were any special requests during our stay. They even left a birthday card for my husband after I mentioned we are coming to Stratford to celebrate our October birthdays. I would definitely stay here again!
