Courtland

Given 5 out of 5 as we loved location ,traditional homely feel of b and b ,hosts were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was very good too. Not understanding previous review of abrupt and rude landlady as we found her great to talk too ,on arrival at 11am I pulled up whilst wife nipped in to get parking ticket which costs 3 pound ,this allows you to park right next to hotel on quiet side street and informed us that they already had our room ready so we could check in early which was a bonus ,in fact during our stay she was very complimentary to us and personally I like people who are "straight John bull" and say what they mean . This isn't a 5 star hotel and at price we paid we didn't expect it our room (room 6 ) had very comfy bed was quiet had powerful shower ,decor and fittings are matched for period of house ,yes certain areas could do with lick of paint but I would not hesitate to recommend this property to someone visiting for a 2 or 3 night stay to Stratford ,parking is next to hotel and all amenities are within 10 min walk Inc station which on check in John gave us a map and took time and trouble to mark places and pubs etc worth a visit ,our favourites were the Coach house and the Keys for live entertainment fri/sat night ,The Garrick ,The Windmill and The White Swan for a drink and Rose and Crown if you want sports , In short I would rather stop at Courtlands than a premier inn which is similar pricing particularly if on first visit to Stratford and don't want to pay 5 star prices ,thanks again to our host for a great stay and this was first time on a 2 night stay in traditional type hotel that we have had bed made up and room tidied after first day.
