This is a lovely apartment for two people. It has all the amenities you could ask for. It was great being able to do some laundry here, while we were mid trip. We were able to walk everywhere to see the highlights of Stratford-upon-Avon. The double bed was fine, but smaller than we’re used to…a larger bed might be considered. The apartment is accessed at the back of the building through the parking lot. We appreciated the handout that explained (with pictures) how to access the apartment. There was also good signage and instructions in the apartment on the location and use of the amenities, as well as a comprehensive binder on things to know about our stay, restaurants, points of interest, etc. Just a cautionary note, the apartment is up two flights of stairs with no lift. This was fine for us but might be difficult for those with mobility issues. We highly recommend this apartment.

Nice location

The apartment is a one bedroom modern flat in a good location for the attractions in Stratford. It's clean and comfortable and easy to park one car. Shops, pubs and restaurants are in a abundance nearby. The way the flat is designed there are no views out of the windows when sitting down and is on a busy road. The bedroom is at the back so the road noise was not a problem.

Cosy

Lovely cosy apartment only a short walk away from the town centre. The only fault I have is there are only six hangers in the wardrobe, but apart from that I would stay at this apartment again it’s a lovely place.

Great stay

Great little flat in the middle of Stratford. Off road parking is great as you can leave your car and walk everywhere. Great comms from judy and i loved the little notes doted around the flat telling you how things worked. No keys to worry about either with the electronic lock. Only slight issue was the bed wasn't that comfortable but it didn't spoil the break.

Lovely apartment in a great location

I have just returned from a 3 night stay at Bard's Nest with my partner. The apartment couldn't be in a better location with all the main attractions within easy walking distance. The apartment is lovely and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Judy is an excellent host providing lots or really helpful information. I would highly recommend Bard's Nest. Thank you Judy, we really enjoyed our stay in Stratford upon Avon.

Great place to stay in Stratford on Avon

Very comfortable, modern, spotlessly clean apartment. It's in a great position in the centre of Stratford and close to all amenities. We'd definitely stay here again. Host Judy was so helpful and answered any queries very quickly. Lots of useful information about the apartment and booking in process.

Great place to stay

This is a great place to stay. It’s well presented and appointed and very comfortable. Location is great being few minutes from high street and attractions. The bed is very comfortable and we slept well. There is some traffic noise in the lounge area but the bedroom is at the back and very quite. The secure parking space in this gated property is a bonus. We would definitely recommend the flat to explore Stratford-upon-Avon and will definitely stay here again in the future. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

Great location in Stratford-upon-Avon

This cheery flat is ideally located, close to theatres, cinemas, shopping and restaurants. Judy and David are wonderful hosts and very friendly and accommodating. The bed is lovely and the bedroom is quiet and dark. There is some traffic noise in the front room but this is unavoidable given the great location.

Lovely Flat, Well Situated

I was spending a couple of days in Stratford-Upon-Avon and wanted something within walking distance of the Shakespeare centre of town, but not anywhere noisy. Judy's flat was perfect for what I needed. I was traveling alone, so didn't need much space, but ended up with a lovely flat with plenty of places to sit and relax. The flat is bright, on the top floor of a three storey walk-up. There's a washer/dryer (another must for me at this point in my travels), with the instructions right above it. Judy met me at the flat, showed me where to park and walked me through the check-in and the buidling. Even if she hadn't been available, the pdf of how to get to and into the flat was spot-on and very handy for someone on their own. The bed was comfortable, the black-out blinds amazing, and there were several types of pillows to choose from. The shower was strong and warm (it went hot, but I don't tend to take overly hot showers these days). The area was quiet and I, a woman in my 40s, felt quite safe walking back alone from dinner as dusk turned to night at the end of a day late May.

Great location, very clean and comfortable.

This apartment is a little gem. It is so central and yet quiet, very clean and the attention to details is second to none. A lot of lovely little touches: USB sockets for the phone, de-mister bathroom mirror, board games etc. The bed was very comfortable with crispy bedding and good mattress. We found the Welcome Pack very useful with restaurant, transport info and a map. Judy was always quick to respond and attentive.

Stunning flat in central Stratford, immaculately clean, stylish and comfortable with secure parking.

A stunning apartment! The location is perfect, everywhere you want to go in town including the RSC is within 10 minutes walk. The secure parking was a real bonus for us! The apartment is well-furnished, stylish and spotlessly clean, the lounge is spacious, bright with a large sofa and TV. The kitchen is well fitted with all the equipment we needed; tea, coffee etc. also provided. We also loved the powerful shower and the comfortable bed. Best of all, Judy was very welcoming and helpful. Can't fault it, great value for money! We definitely would book here again when in Stratford.
