“We had a lovely stay here in Stratford upon Avon! The house has been recently renovated to a really high standard and the furnishings are lovely throughout. It was very kind of Judy to have out a dog bowl for our Labrador and some milk and tea and coffee. Kitchen was well equipped and helpful to have kids plates/cups too!”

“Bard’s Nest is a haven of peace and tranquility in the hustle and bustle of Stratford upon Avon. Within a few minutes walk you’re at Shakespeare’s Birthplace, schoolroom and the river, restaurants and cafes. The MAD museum and butterfly farm are definitely worth a visit. Judy is a very responsive host and patiently helped me with queries and recommendations before our trip. Bard’s Nest is spotlessly clean and tidy with everything you need for 4 people. Fabulous outdoor garden space and very handy having two bathrooms. Thank you Judy and David, we all loved our stay very much. X.”
