Reviews for The New Inn Hotel
Review 1:No bad experience. Our ground floor room (which was an upgrade) was adjacent to the bar toilets. Not ideally situated but not the worst problem in the world.
Review 2:Very friendly staff and excellent food for dinner and breakfast. Ample parking and within 2 miles of Stratford.
Review 3:Staff are amazing and friendly, so willing to help. The room was a nice size and a nice bathroom. It was a little out of the way but we liked this. The breakfast included was also really nice. Could not be happier and want to go back!
Review 4:the weather!!!
Review 5:the food was amazing, fresh, hot and flavoursome and good value too. we stayed in one of the executive rooms which was very comfy and spacious and clean.
Review 6:Slight noise in rooms above the pub,due to the thin walls,but still slept well.
Review 7:The food was excellent value for the price,well presented and the chef's specials were delicious. The owners and all the staff were extremely pleasant,very helpful and on the ball
Review 8:Only thing was noisy shower in next room which woke us up at 6am with guest using it for over 15 mins
Review 9:warm friendly welcome, good comfort food in restaurant. Breakfast very good value for money. Nice warm rooms as it was -5 that night
Review 10:nothing
Review 11:We only stayed for one night but based on our experience everything was excellent we could not fault this venue or the staff. We would recommend and hope to stay again in the near future.
Review 12:What a loverly friendly place. Staff were very helpful. Rooms comfortable and clean. Evening meal and breakfast were both delicious. Would definitely stay again when in Stratford.
Review 13:Uncomfortable bed and could hear people asleep in rooms next to us either side so kept us awake and also music olaying
Review 14:Breakfast was lovely and so were the staff
Review 15:Although clean and well kept, the decor was old fashioned. The pub/bar and the restaurant was a cold 'un'cosy. We'd hope to have a nice nice and spend the evening there but decided not too. No atmosphere.
Review 16:This hotel was spectacularly clean inside! Really well kept! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was a reasonable size. Bed was very comfortable.
Review 17:No bad experiences
Review 18:The hotel is set in a beautiful village just south of Stratford On Avon and we enjoyed walks in the surrounding area. The greeting was very warm and friendly and the hotel was very clean. The menu and the meals were excellent, with first class chef's serving better meals than I have had in some 5 star hotels and restaurants.
Review 19:Stated location of 1 mile from Stratford centre was incorrect. Wifi only effectively available in public areas downstairs.
Review 20:Great value, friendly staff, atmosphere and facilities good.
Review 21:There was nothing too bad, but food service could be better. We had to wait ages for the carvery to be manned and even those who'd ordered off the menu were served before we were able to get our food. In the morning breakfast was 8.30 to 9.30 we got there about 9,05 and there was hardly any hot food left. Although they did make toast for us we didn't feel that we could ask for all the rest. The quality of the food, however, was excellent
Review 22:The staff were absolutely lovely. We were made to feel welcome from the start, and as if nothing was too much trouble. I felt very at home here. I also liked that the rooms were in a separate building. We had our own front door key and could come and go as we pleased without disturbing anyone.
Review 23:For the amount of money we had paid for the stay wasn't what we were exspecting. The amount that it should of been from the overall package would be £60 tops no more. The smell of the room was muggy and smelt of old cigarettes. The appearance of the room wasn't what it was on the pictures and was very old looking and not modern. The walls were very thin and I couldn't sleep due to hearing everything was happening from other people staying. Myself and my boyfriend were celebrating our engagement and were very disappointed as the hotel slightly dampened our spirits.
Review 24:Being totally honest the staff were lovely but ever think else was a disapointment.
Review 25:Advertised as having wi fi - this only worked on one occasion in the 3 days we were there - and very slowly - so no work could be done!! The breakfast was not that good either.
Review 26:The room was comfortable
Review 27:Would have liked a full length mirror in room as dressing table mirror very low. And fresh mushrooms with the breakfast!
Review 28:Very friendly staff, very clean, good location. Would stay again.
Review 29:Amazing value for money as a wonderful full English breakfast is included in the price. Staff were great. Lovely to have a well stocked bar running all day if you so wished. Room quaint.
Review 30:Could hear everything from room next door. Light and fan in bathroom turn 'off' randomly. Apart from breakfast the food was ok but wouldn't have it twice.
Review 31:The breakfast was very good. Only 2 miles from Stratford town.
Review 32:Basic quality of food at breakfast not enough choice - could be much better with just the addition of fresh fruit etc
Review 33:Location and the management excellent
Review 34:Comfortable rooms with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Lovely food at the carvery and breakfast table. The staff were pleasant and eager to assist. We would certainly stay at The New Inn again on our next trip to the area.
Review 35:Facilities are a little rough around the edges but not really a criticism because price set accordingly
Review 36:Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Great service. Very impressive attitude/allowances made for our 1yr old.
Review 37:Excellent room. Had a sofa in the room so you could sit and relax and read. Good bathroom with shower. Little out of the way to stratford town centre, but good value for money. Bus stop outside premises, with regular service
Review 38:Further away from Town Centre than I'd realised, it says it's in Stratford Upon Avon whereas it's about 2 miles from the town centre. No buses on a Sunday and no park and ride on a Sunday from the nearby Waitrose. The welcome could have been warmer, not very smiley. We asked if there was any food available and got the reply 'not at this time', as if it was 2.05 am rather than 2.05 pm. There were no menus to indicate what was on offer for evening meals yet if we wanted to eat there in the evening we had to let them know well beforehand.
Review 39:Cheap and comfortable.
Review 40:Breakfast buffet was only up to 9 am latest and at 9-10 all the buffet was cleared without notification. They should be more flexible with this.
Review 41:Lovely clean room.
Review 42:While the room was clean, it was very old-fashioned. Even a new bedspread would have made a big difference. Most of the staff were really nice, one man who was on duty in the morning however, was quite rude and unhelpful.
Review 43:disappointed on two fronts , firstly breakfast times mid week , way too early finish time 9 am is a nonsense for a tourist area ,I am disabled and not able to be ready for that time so missed our breakfast having paid for it , secondly we had paid for two nights and had to return home due to a family illness and resultant bereavement so we paid 140 pounds plus we purchased dinner for one nights stay with no breakfast , when we asked if any chance of rebate we were told the manager would need to decide that and we would be contacted , one week on still no contact , very very disappointed now back in Scotland will never return to this establishment no reply is so discourteous given the circumstances
Review 44:staff vey friendly
Review 45:The cleanliness was not as good as we expected. We were probably expecting too much
Review 46:The location was good for what we wanted and where we wanted to visit.
Review 47:The mgt. had been advised of an early breakfast req't. On exiting upstairs room found door from stairway (fire exit) locked. I am a disabled guest. I had to bang on door to attract staff in kitchen. It appeared that door may have been locked all night. Accepting that the bar is accessible from this stairway, when not manned could present a security problem. However, these arrangements should be reviewed before a tragedy might ensue.
Review 48:Good food, easy parking, level access to lodges and bar/restaurant.
Review 49:The room we stayed in was very dark with a musty odour. Bearing in mind we stayed in the old part of the hotel.
Review 50:The staff was really good. Food nice. Breakfast excellent ideal before a day out.
Review 51:Loved the location went by bus into stratford bus stop was right outside loved the food nice and friendly staff the room was nice and clean and the shower was brilliant just overall a nice place to stay
Review 52:Wifi not in room, and it was slow in bar area. Walls thin so could hear TV and snoring of people in room next to mine.
Review 53:Very friendly and professional staff. Comfy bed. Convenient parking. Good evening meal.
Review 54:Pub feel rather than hotel. Had to climb a steep flight of stairs on arrival with heavy suitcases. Room rather small. T.V. had very small screen.
Review 55:Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice. Bus stop right outside with great bus service to Stratford and Cotswold villages.
Review 56:Smelly access upstairs to bedrooms from bar and toilets area. Initially I was allocated a room over gents toilet. Plus it had a 4 poster bed squeezed in room with 200 year old dirty looking cover on it. Asked for different room. Queried cost as I had paid £140 for 2 nights and friend had paid £105. for 2 nights so I was expecting to get a superior room. (When booked there had been no cheaper rooms at same rate available). He said all rooms cost the same. Seems I paid for 2 people in one room and my friend paid rate for her as a single in one room. Then thought stay would be ok as had nice room. Looked like hers (no.7) Mine was number 2. BUT soon discovered walls paper thin, door banging, room right over reception and dining area and loud speaker for piped pop music all evening. Did not go out that eve as exhausted long day but after 3 hours telephoned reception and complained as noise from both adjoining bedrooms either side, plus pop music coming through the floor and could not hear my TV. He agreed to turn music down which he did. Thin duvet and no spare blankets or duvets and was so cold slept most of night in my clothes.Heating came on about 9.30pm for a while. They did supply me with a second duvet the second night which I asked for after the first morning 's breakfast. Second evening noisy too with birthday party in restaurant area. My friend paid less and got a quiet room on the wing away from the noise of the restaurant and bar. POINT was I asked for a quiet room and when telephoned to check payment on Saturday reiterated this and he said the hotel was generally quiet. Elvis cover band due to play on Friday eve. TG wasn't staying then!
Review 57:Shower good. Room clean. Breakfast acceptable. My friend had a a nice quiet room as it was on the wing away from over the bar and restaurant. She had a comfortable stay!
Review 58:really could have done with the breakfast opening earlier. stayed here when attending a business exhibition and an 8 o'clock breakfast start meant a hurried breakfast
Review 59:We received a very warm welcome after driving a short distance from Stratford upon Avon. Together with the breakfast being included in our rate and the free parking, the New Inn represented good value. In addition, the restaurant menu was extensive and the food excellent!
Review 60:Lots of noise from other rooms and restaurant. Despite asking at book in and check out, no receipt given and not emailed since requesting, this particularly causes a business traveller extra admin - and so puts off staying again.
Review 61:Good initial welcome from bar staff.
Review 62:Beds could have been better. The rooms are a little small. The steps to the upstairs are very steep.
Review 63:Nice friendly staff. Good food for breakfast and evening meal. A decent pint what more do you want.
Review 64:The light in the en-suite was on a timer & caught you unaware sometimes!
Review 65:Clean, comfortable & good breakfast. The wifi was a bit weak in room 16.
Review 66:Narrow & steep staircase & corridor unsuitable for elderly. A horrid smell around staircase.
Review 67:Dining room/ breakfast room. Location-convenient for Stratford.. Power shower. Buffet breakfast. Country pub. Safety in accomodation-locked entrance. Large open car park.
Review 68:Got to the bar at one minute past happy hour ( which i was unaware of ), & the landlord ( knowing i was a guest ) charged me normal price and commented that i should of been earlier !!!!
Review 69:Just to say have breakfast choice that comes direct from kitchen as the cooked breakfast from the buffet section was not anywhere near the standard of the cooked breakfast from the kitchen
Review 70:facilities, rooms were perfect and evening meals in restaurant
Review 71:Security lights were very bright and illuminated the room all night. Walls were quite thin so could hear voices and movement in next room.
Review 72:Free parking and very friendly helpful staff. Good for the price. Good breakfast.
Review 73:No problems at all
Review 74:Great location with onsite parking. Room clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and great shower. Staff very friendly and helpful. Evening meal and breakfast excellent
Review 75:Access to rooms 1 to 8 were past the toilets which smelled. Admittedly once up the stairs and through the door the smell disappeared but it was a bit off putting
Review 76:Nice food, clean room and friendly staff
Review 77:Dirty bedroom Spiders and flies in the bedroom Cobwebs everywhere Poor breckfast (Toast are not made upon request but left on buffet, scrambled eggs cold and floating in water)
Review 78:Nothing
Review 79:Found a few spiders here and there in the room which could have been sweeped away before we checked in, but in general the room was actually quite clean.
Review 80:Good area just outside the city, it was quiet enough and a nice outside sitting area.
Review 81:WIFI was very poor reception Towels to small Bathroom required safety measures (bars etc)
Review 82:Food as restuarant was excellent and great value Surrounds / ambience excellent Staff helpful and very pleasant Highly recommend to stay
Review 83:Poor internet Poor breakfast Dark restaurant Have to enter reception through the bar Oldfashioned interior - not cosy at all
Review 84:The beds and the shower
Review 85:The rooms are smaller, the bathroom smelt very musty (in fact in everywhere smelt like that) i had to open the window all night and it was cold over there, the price of the room was very expensive for those services
Review 86:I must admit the exterior of the building looks a little dated and does not give credit to what is inside.
Review 87:This hotel is excellent! The staff, the food, the location is fantastic. I genuinly think you are under selling yourselves for the area and could charge more!
Review 88:My only problem during my stay was that on arrival all I wanted was a shower and a cup of tea. Tea was easy. However as I am disabled I was unable to use the shower as it was over the bath which was too high for me to access.
Review 89:The welcome was warm, the room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was fine.
Review 90:Guest in adjoining room #5 had his TV blaring till well after midnight and did not respond to request to lower the volume. Similarly again from 6am till breakfast opened at 8:30. The volume must surely have been heard by everyone in the building
Review 91:Helpful friendly staff and orientation
Review 92:If you have a car, it's a very good location . If not, it's awkward .Busses are not frequent and the last one is early .It is a long walk to town and the road is VERY dark at night .
Review 93:The staff were very nice.It was very quiet and clean. It was a building with real character.
Review 94:A little bit far from center of the town and need a car to drive to the center of the town.
Review 95:Room is spacious. Good facility. Staff is nice. Breakfast is a buffet style and has everything of English breakfast plus pastry and fruit. Staff is very nice. A lady who cooked nice breakfast also helped me with direction to my next destination. She googled the map for me and told me how to get there.
Review 96:room 1 small room, difficulty moving around bed to bathroom. Unfortunately our room was directly above the bar toilets and for some reason we encountered an unpleasant smell.
Review 97:We found the staff very pleasant, helpful and deserving praise. We had an evening meal which was enjoyable, breakfast was fine.
Review 98:Not really a bad experience but I think the breakfast staff could have cleared away our used bowls and plates rather than leave them piling up on our table.
Review 99:Proximity to Stratford-on-Avon ---only 5mins by car---at a reasonable price. A quiet night's sleep.
Review 100:Amazing place having been a coach driver for 12yrs I've been in many hotels but have to say this was a brilliant base to explore Stratford and the area with a cosy local feel and staff that actually enjoy there job
Review 101:The WiFi didn't work in our room so we had to sit in the public bar trying to find the best location for a signal. This was annoying as we had to make some bookings for the next day. Our room was up stairs which was very difficult to manage our luggage. An elderly person wouldn't be able to do this.
Review 102:Free parking
Review 103:- You need a car if you are staying here as there are limited bus services to Stratford - The day we were there, they only served food till 8pm at the pub
Review 104:Buffet breakfast & affordability
Review 105:Public transport not very regular from location to town.
Review 106:Food and staff excellent. Friendly family run Inn. Very clean and room modern. Hosts first class.
Review 107:WiFi impossible in bedroom, and poor in the restaurant area. Squeaky doors. Musty smell in bathroom. Noise conveyed fairly easily through bedroom walls (fortunately my fellow guests were considerate and mostly quiet). Room lighting a bit dingy at night.
Review 108:Slept well. Good shower. Clean. Opening windows. Decent breakfast. No really unpleasant experiences. Couple of easy, good walks nearby for the evenings. Comfortable chair in room.
Review 109:Only comment that TV in room very small and not ideally located for watching. Nothing else in village so bit isolated on an evening.
Review 110:Friendly staff, clean room, ideal for bus into Stratford, takes about ten minutes and priced at £2.60 per person each way. Good breakfast and food reasonably priced. Ideal base for attractions. About 40-50 minute drive to Oxford and Blenheim palace,
Review 111:The wifi signal in the room was poor but in the main building was fine. Dinner was not great on presentation - I wondered if my hunters-chicken had actually been re-assembled on its way to the table !
Review 112:The room was excellent, the location was excellent
Review 113:Wi-Fi just didnt work which was annoying as we needed it and they knew it was not a good system. Food not that good.
Review 114:Friendly people, in a nice location, our room was very nice with a walk in shower.
Review 115:The kettle could have been bigger. It didn't hold enough water to fill two mugs of tea or coffee.
Review 116:Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good. Shower was nice. Good location for visiting Stratford with nearby Park and Ride.
Review 117:don,t stay in rooms 10 11 or 12 outlook back of kitchen smells from kitchen extractor fan .breakfast coffee poured by waitress none left on the table to help yourself.dinner service very slow
Review 118:food very good
Review 119:Tiny room with zero ventilation except two small windows one of which didn't open at all (we did ask for the key and were told it was unlocked...um, no, it wasn't), and the other of which opened a teeny crack. Paid for breakfast but kitchen not open early enough so packed us ham and cheese sandwhiches (thanks for the effort but...) and gave it to us to keep overnight. In the stuffy room with no fridge or ventilation. Extremely poor wifi except in lobby.
Review 120:Room clean, location decent if a little further out of town than we expected, plenty of carparks.
Review 121:Wifi doesn't work in rooms, only in bar. Very small family room- decor needs updating. Outside noise from kitchen and bar.
Review 122:Walked through wheat fields via the public access then through the green way into Strathford-upon-Avon- lovely walk. Friendly staff.
Review 123:The staff in the morning is a bit uncheerful, yet serving everything.
Review 124:The value for money and the comfortable of room with buffet english breakfast style are superb.
Review 125:Wifi was not great and I couldn't get reception in my room. Hot spots in pub.
Review 126:Country atmosphere of the hotel and proximity to park and ride. Reasonable prices for proximity to Stratford on Avon
Review 127:We stayed in the main building, the smell at the bottom of the stairway from the toilets was pretty strong. Automatic air fresheners would help?
Review 128:Friendly staff and atmosphere
Review 129:Nothing to dislike
Review 130:Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and the choice was very good for evening meals. We used the bus service into Stratford and travelled back by taxi which was very convenient. We would definitely stay there again
Review 131:As the room is located on ground floor, the windows should be installed with security grilles so that it can be opened for good ventilation without the fear of someone climbing in.
Review 132:Clean and comfortable room with good ventilations. Free parking with easy access. Good value calvery dinner.
Review 133:Convenient for Stratford.pleasant staff. Excellent breakfast. Bed - 2 singles pushed together huge crack in the middle! I'll deform stay here again
Review 134:The choice of feather pillows and light cotton blankets would have been MUCH BETTER than synthetic pillows and hot duvets. Breakfast bacon was dry and the toast rubbery. No scrambled eggs and the fried eggs were rather jaded.
Review 135:Quiet, clean with friendly staff. Convenient for Stratford -on -Avon. Plenty of parking.
Review 136:we paid for a superior room and I can't remember what the difference was between that and the standard room but ours was fairly average and I couldn't spot what was superior about it. However, it was very clean and perfectly suitable.
Review 137:Friendly staff, excellent evening meal, good breakfast, clean accommodation.
