Built in 1482 the house is recognised as the oldest house in Stratford-upon-Avon and many of its original features remain including two 16th century wall paintings. Visitors will find themselves within a few minutes walk of Shakespeare's birth place, Royal Shakespeare theatre, River Avon and a wide range of restaurants and bars.

We respect our neighbours and would request that as sound can travel in medieval houses that noise is kept to a minimum after 11pm.
There is a strict no smoking policy at the property and guests should be aware that due to the timber framed nature of the property candles are not to be used, good quality battery candles will be available for guests to use.
