I booked online from New Zealand after doing a Google search. We stayed in the Warwick Room which has 2 single beds & 1 double bed. We originally booked for two but had extra party with us on arrival.. However there was no extra charge for the extra person and this included an extra breakfast at no extra charge. We... More

This place is just awesome. Friendly, rooms extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast was so well cooked and so much nicer than any place I have ever been, and finishing touch of homemade marmalade. This place is exquisite. Ray and his family were very helpful and polite. I would recommend Emsley Guest House to all.

We could not have been welcomed more - by Ray, Mel and Hayley. I booked to take my Mum away for a 80th Birthday celebration and on arrival we were greeted by an unexpected Birthday Card and box of chocolates - so thoughtful and typical of the added 'touches' that this first class B&B has to offer. We stayed in... More

Okay, where to start? This B&B is a wonderful location to see all things Shakespeare. The hosts, Ray, Melanie and their daughter were extremely accommodating and helpful with the restaurants and attractions of Stratford. Melanie even assisted us with tickets to the RSC to see Hamlet. A wonderful breakfast room and a delightful English breakfast, cooked to order. And, the... More

We have travelled quite a bit round the country staying in B&B's and this has to rate as one of the best. Ray, Melanie and Hayley have obviously worked long and hard to make this a beautifully presented and comfortable place to stay. The rooms were spotless and there were lots of nice personal touches, like the homemade shortbread biscuits.... More

We stayed for one night at the Emsley in April 2013, and we were delighted with the standard of accommodation and the welcome we received. We stayed in the Gloucester Room. I would recommend The Emsley to anyone who wants to stay within easy walking distance of Stratford's attractions. The home-made shortbread was also excellent! Mr & Mrs Barker, Norfolk

We were really impressed by the Emsley, Ray made us feel most welcome and we were even fortunate enough to get parked in front of the guest house itself so didn't have to worry about parking - although the car park is only yards up the road anyway. The room was lovely, very clean and cosy with a fantastic en-suite... More
