Hamlet House Bb

The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was good quality. Hosts were friendly and really helpful. It’s well located for both the town centre and railway station, and the price was reasonable. I’d recommend it and will stay again.

Paul’s full English was an absolute cracker, so tasty, with sausage, egg, fried bread, bacon, beans, half a tomato and four pieces of black pudding. Tea, coffee and orange juice were available too. For our one night, everything was perfect. This little bed and breakfast is slap bang where you want to be for Shakespeare, and we’d happily recommend it for exploring the area. On arrival, we got one of the two parking spaces outside. Paul wasn’t home, but gave us check-in instructions through the doorbell, including that we could arrive early and that our cosy double was room 3 on the first floor. One warning for when you’re out and about: another guest was pickpocketed while looking around the market, and Paul said some scrotes have moved into the area over the last few years, so stay vigilant. I’ll book Hamlet House again if I’m back around here.

Please be aware this guest house is sadly closed for the foreseeable future because of a family illness.

Breakfast was the surprise highlight. There was loads to choose from, and the good ingredients really came through. I usually skip it, but couldn't resist a little fry-up, and my partner was impressed with the coffee too. We'd booked at the last minute, and Paul kindly let us check in much earlier than usual, which made a big difference to our plans. He gave us the useful details, then left us to settle in. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a night, including good pillows, quality towels and Wi-Fi. The decor was quirky rather than glamorous, which I liked. Breakfast was included in a very reasonable price. Thanks, we'll be back at Hamlet House next time we're in the area.
