Tucked away amongst lavish greenery, is a stunning manor with a rich history. A grade II listed building, the Billesley Manor Hotel & Spa is the perfect place to stay in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Sir William Shakespeare, especially for history lovers. Most notably, the hotel hosted Shakespeare himself in 1599 and the outcome was his comedy ‘As You Like It’.
The hotel’s strength lies in its spacious and lavish grounds, which are evidently a popular hang-out spot for guests.
LOCATION
The hotel is situated only five miles from the popular tourist town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Stratford-upon-Avon features tourist attractions such as Shakespeare’s Birthplace, The Swan Theatre, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and more.
DINING
Stuart Restaurant is the hotel’s in-house restaurant. The restaurant features original oak panelling with period fireplaces and grand chandeliers. It offers afternoon tea, lunch and dinner, with ingredients sourced locally.
During our visit, we have indulged on a delicious al-fresco afternoon tea overlooking the garden. For dinner, we enjoyed a romantic meal for two at the Stuart Restaurant.
FACILITIES
Billesley Manor Hotel offers an indoor pool and a spa for guests looking to relax in the countryside. The Drawing Room is newly refurbished and is a space for hotel guests to chill and hang out.
