Located on Church Street, a quiet road in the old town opposite Shakespeare’s School and close to other historic locations and just a few minutes’ walk from the RSC, Stratford’s bustling High Street and the River Avon. Popular with locals and hotel guests. this boutique bolthole’s 12 ensuite rooms are finished in bold, contemporary style using Cole & Son wallpapers and theatrical flourishes throughout.


The Townhouse has been run by an experienced husband and wife team for the past five years. The couple now wish to streamline their business interests and will continue to oversee their second property, The White Horse at Kings Sutton.
