Earlier this year we decided that it was time for a much needed break and what better place to spend it than in Shakespeare Countryside, StratfordUponAvon? Having lived in Coventry which is in the West Midlands I am familiar with StratfordUponAvon and how beautiful it is. The scenery there is lush and it is definitely Shakespeare Countryside. As well as being a local tourist attraction StratfordUponAvon is also a quite part of the Country. After purchasing overnight accommodation from Lastminute.com I was set for my journey. There were many short breaks to choose from, but I fancied StratfordManor the most. Now all I needed to do was ask my parents if they would baby sit. They finally agreed after much persuasion and a few bribes. After all they love their Granddaughter even if she can be a bit of a handful at times.

Although I couldn't give a toss about the brand on the letterhead, I overheard several guests commenting on the fact it was no longer a MacDonald hotel, so I guess it's important to some people. If you're one of them, be advised.
Stratford-upon-Avon. One of my favourite places in the world. I've hung out with actors, been to the theatre more times than I can remember, messed about on the river and explored quite a few of the many bars and restaurants.

The Shakespeare Hotel is exactly what you'd expect of a hotel in Stratford. It's old ...
