Our stay was lovely, although it has been marred somewhat by the lack of communication we have received regarding the return of our deposit. Several messages and phone calls have been met with radio silence. At £75 it isn’t a small amount of money, and to have it withheld without any communication has been frustrating to say the least. I would advise anyone staying here to be comfortable with losing their deposit because at this present moment it seems as though the hotel is hoping we’ll just forget about it eventually.

The bedroom was great and clean. Breakfast was good but lacking choice of cereals etc and other options.
Check in was at 4pm and check out at 10.30 which is not the norm for other hotels which offer check in at 3pm and check out at 12, which i thought was a little stingy etc. Other then that, a good stay.

High standard of cleanliness throughout. Quiet environment. Staff member who handled our check in was very courteous and helpful.
Teamaking facilities housed in the wardrobe not practical. Had to move clothes out of the way to boil kettle. Only 1 chair in our double room, so had to stand up to drink tea or sit on bed.
Breakfast room housed in a different building not ideal, had it been raining. No staff on arrival to greet or direct us. Table top too sticky had to move to a different table. Breakfast included in the price (we chose English) very poor: 1 very small and thin slice of bacon, small sausage 1 egg, 1 thin slice of black pudding, beans and 1 hash brown, half tomato. Toast included was ok there was orange juice and choice of another juice. Long wait approx. 20 minutes for cooked breakfast. Asked for cafetiere coffee and warm milk . Warm milk didn't arrive, and coffee very weak, and not very hot. Cereals, yogurts, fruit ,pastries would incur extra cost. We would not choose to stay in this hotel again.

The place was spotless. Beds comfortable. High quality bed linen.
However the rooms are not soundproofed - at all. We could hear the couple next door chatting on the phone and things.
This would NOT be a hotel for a romantic break away which is a shame as it is a lovely hotel.
Couple of other niggles - the aircon didn’t work. This was one of the reasons we had chosen this hotel due to weather forecast being warm. Also if anyone is not taking toiletries expecting L’occitane, they have changed the range being used.

Perfect hotel for a relaxing break

Had an extremely comfortable stay. Rooms are big and airy - we stayed in a King suite. Staff were friendly and very accommodating - our room was on the road side of the hotel and we could hear the traffic, however, on request we were moved to a really quiet room on the other side of the hotel. Continental breakfast was delicious and service was excellent.
Hôtel is in a beautiful village and is in easy walking distance into Stratford- about 20 min walk.
We would definitely stay again.

My only critique is the check in 4pm Check out 10am , this is not standard times for hotels and does not allow the visitor to enjoy the hotel enough, Suggest 3pm check and 11am check out in line with standard times for most hotels. overall though an excellent hotel.

Check in was poor. It felt cold and impersonal. To summarise, it could be shortened to \"fill this card in, pay here, your room is that way\".

No record of breakfast forming part of our stay, so later checked with Expedia and they confirmed it was. Subsequently rechecked with hotel and told no.

It wasn't until the following morning that someone else checked, asked if we had booked with Expedia, and told us that the two systems didn't pass all details on correctly (a known fault). Which begs the question, why don't staff know this when they are checking you in?

Room clean, tidy and comfortable.

Family suite

We were supposed to stay in the cottage as a group of friends but 2 days before our trip we were asked to move to 3 double bedrooms. We asked for the family suite instead so we would have a big communal space and this was a huge, gorgeous room! Would be very expensive for a family for one night but divided by 4 friends it was fine. We were disappointed not to stay in the cottage but the staff and hotel were lovely. The only downside of the room was the temperature, it was absolutely boiling even though we turned it right down and opened all the windows. Perhaps the heating need not have been on at all. The toilet roll holder also fell off the wall. Otherwise all was very high quality. We enjoyed the complementary breakfast but if paying the breakfast would have been very expensive and was small portions. Poached egg was not runny and orange juice not fresh. Beautiful hotel, good location near lovely stratford but traffic noise when windows open.

Nice clean rooms with excellent decor and comfy beds. Staff were very helpful with booking taxis etc. Not sure why you need to pay for parking on top of paying for the room though. Breakast was very good, but if we'd had to pay separately, I do think £16 is a bit steep for a full english.

We spent one night at the hotel and wish we could have stayed longer.
There was plenty of parking to the front of the property...all areas of the hotel are monitored by cctv at reception. Nice easy check in by a friendly lady on reception.
The room was lovely, could not fault it at all. The bed was really comfy with quality bedding. Tv had lots of channels and you can connect it to your phone. Shower is great, plenty of hot water and the towels are a generous size :) the whole room is tastefully decorated, everything is spotlessly clean and smelled fresh. Really couldn't fault it at all which is unusual for me!! The staff were great, friendly and helpful. If you smoke, there are tables and chairs outside the front where you can have a puff. The hotel is obviously kept to a high standard of cleanliness.
We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and no complaints there either, enjoyable food and friendly efficient service.
We look forward to returning in a few months time.

Nicely presented hotel with excellent staff (especially the waiter in the dining room). The room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful shower room. A little lacking in natural light as the only window was high up at street level, but not really an issue.
Excellent bed and pleasant furnishings.
Only slight gripe was the £5 parking fee, which I don’t think was advertised. It’s not a lot, but where else are you going to park? It should just be part of the amenities of the hotel- and accessible parking in a town like Stratford-upon-Avon is a necessity.

Nice but not for light sleepers

Cute, warm and comfortable with friendly staff. The main negative point is paper thin walls: you'll hear neighbours talk, walk, etc...
Didn't find the cosy lounge that is pictured: the bar is trendy but not cosy, so you don't really feel like hanging out. If you are there just to sleep and not a light sleeper, it's a good clean modern place.

Comfortable hotel offering excellent service

I would stay at the Burnside hotel again in a shot. Only 1 mile from the centre of Stratford but in quiet area in walking distance of Anne Hathaway's Cottage and another pub (as the bar isn't the most comfortable for drinks unless pre-meal drinking).
The Executive room was very large and comfortable (two twins fastened together gave plenty of room). Daily room service and top up of water, tea, coffee, shampoo and free \"guest kits\" etc.
Minty seemed to be there all the time & was very approachable and helpful. A real asset to the hotel.
The team were keen to receive feedback on how they can improve the guest experience & I got the feeling this was genuine as a comment on food when we ate there was referred to the head chef the following day & they also wanted feedback on breakfast (ask for toast with the main meal or after or you get it within mins of sitting down).
Although I would stay again and have no hesitation in recommending the hotel I do feel that charging £5 for parking is very cheeky. Its not in the centre of London or on an airport. If you really want an extra £5, add it on to the cost of the room as it just seems like a money grabbing unnecessary charge.

Hotel is located in Shottery and about a 25 minute easy walk into Stratford.
