Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Salamander Guest House from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Salamander Guest House enjoys a superb location, placing guests within a short, pleasant walk to Stratford town center and its attractions. The spacious family rooms are often praised, as is the on-site parking-a definite plus in Stratford. Some guests have noted that the food discount advertised was misleading, as breakfast isn't available; however, the comfortable beds and clean, inviting environment consistently receive high marks, and many rooms even offer a lovely view of the park across the road.

Fantastic Stay, Great Location

beautiful roomcomfortable bedsgood recommendationmisleading information
The room was beautifully decorated it was also very clean. I found the beds very comfortable they were larger than a single. Alex provided many good recommendations and was readily available. The refreshment tray was well presented and stocked.
they don't do food, this can mislead people. It may lead people to believe they can buy breakfast at the house when they can't.

I found the location very convenient for accessing the town center. It was a short walk to both attractions and restaurants. Alex was helpful by providing tips for places to visit in the area, I appreciated her assistance.
I experienced some issues with the room. The heating seemed to be on all the time, made the room uncomfortably hot. I had trouble connecting to the WIFI on my last night. It had worked fine before.
