Lovely hotel

We have stayed many times at the Arden. It is comfortable and relaxing. The service is good and its location close to the RSC is excellent.

Five Star Location

Paul W, Surrey, stayed: March 2026

If you're a theatre lover this hotel is for you.
Literally two minutes walk from the RSC and slap bang in the town, though in a quiet corner overlooking the park and river.
Huge room / bathroom
What is not to like.
Stratford-upon-Avon a gem in England's crown.

Excellent, but avoid Linden above the kitchen extractor

PN, Oxfordshire, stayed: April 2026

This is an excellent hotel, great location and full of old fashioned charm. Quirky, the decor while in need of slight attention in places, seems to add to the charm and is more than compensated for by the amazing staff. Nothing is too much trouble, any requests quickly attended to with a smile. Wonderful.
Beware Linden if you re bothered by outside noise until late in the evening, and the morning cooking smells are unpleasant but the room is lovely so it s rather a shame.
