We have just returned from a fabulous long weekend at Shakespeare Shoes. Sonia and Adam could not have done any more to make our stay absolutely perfect Shakespeareâs Shoes location is quiet and tranquil while also being central for stratford upon Avon and local shops and farm shop. The welcome we received from Sonia and Adam was second to none, they went out of their way to ensure that we felt at home. The conversion is expertly crafted the kitchen, bathroom are all well equipped and the seating areas and bedroom are all decorated exquisitely. The outside areas are again amazing from the lovely open barn with bbq pizza oven heaters, lights log burners, relaxing music there is no reason not to stay chilled out there all night. For sun lovers there is the south facing garden all fenced in (perfect for children and dogs) not that we had either but everything has been thought of by Sonia and Adam. The bonus is not having to worry about anything everything has been thought for the most perfect break. On the Saturday evening we experienced Adamâs professional Michelin restaurant BBQ I cannot begin to describe how exquisite and tasty the whole menu was, Adam is passionate about food and this is apparent when you enjoy all the exceptional dishes. Definitely experience some of Adams culinary delights whilst staying at Shakespeareâs shoes. Thank you Sonia and Adam you are the perfect hosts we will definitely be visiting again, the complete experience was 5* and more.

Shakespearâs Shoes is definitely 5*! The accommodation was decorated beautifully and was super clean. All little details had been thought of within the barn too, especially in the kitchen! The location was also great, really peaceful and quiet with lots of surrounding countryside but close to Stratford Upon Avon and surrounding villages if you want to venture out. We also had Adam cook three times for us and I have to say he is an absolutely amazing chef and provided such a great service, you must try his food! All in all an amazing stay and would definitely recommend to anyone. We hope to return in the future!
