Last week I traveled to Stratford-Upon-Avon while touring England. Not knowing the area I took a chance on finding a place to stay. Looking back at my stay I don't think I could have found a better place.
Parts of the Blue Boar Inn date back to the 1600's. It has been an ale house since then. You can sit in the bar area or outside. In the winter you can enjoy a cozy fire inside. When I first got there I had a couple pints and got to know the locals.
For food they have a very nice restaurant. The dinner menu is great and a full English breakfast is included. My breakfast was more than enough to get me through the morning.
For a place as old as it is the rooms are huge. I had a suite with a queen size bed in one room and 3 twin beds in the other.
I loved the staff. Not only are they friendly but they also offered great advice on exploring the area.
It is out in the country but that made it even better. Away from the town that was crowded with tourists it was a relaxing place to stay.
The location is about 6 miles from Stratford-Upon-Avon. If you have a car you can park all day at the train station in town for about 4 pounds and walk into the center of town.
If you are in the area I highly recommend staying there.
