Penthouse on Waterside Overview

When visiting the historic town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, finding a place to stay that’s both comfortable and unforgettable can enhance your entire experience.

During my trip, I had the pleasure of staying at The Penthouse on Waterside, a beautifully designed rental that blends charm, luxury, and convenience. Here’s everything you need to know about this incredible accommodation and why it should be at the top of your list for your Stratford getaway.

Arrival

Located in the heart of Stratford-Upon-Avon, The Penthouse on Waterside is conveniently located just steps away from the River Avon, Shakespeare’s historic sites, and the town center. You’re within walking distance to all of the best restaurants, bars, shops, and so much more.

For those traveling by train, the Stratford-Upon-Avon railway station is less than a mile away, making it an easy walk or a quick taxi ride. If you’re arriving by car, there’s private parking, which is incredibly convenient and ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside, including the Cotswolds. Due to its central location, navigating from the penthouse is simple, no matter how you travel.

What truly sets this penthouse apart from most accommodations is its unbeatable location. Nestled right on the Waterside, it offers picturesque views of the River Avon and easy access to all of Stratford-Upon-Avon’s top attractions.

Whether you’re strolling along the river, catching a play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, or exploring the local shops and restaurants, you’re just minutes away from everything.

The Penthouse

As soon as you step inside The Penthouse on Waterside, you’re greeted with an elegant mix of modern amenities and vintage charm. This one-bedroom is thoughtfully decorated with vibrant wallpaper, plush furnishings, and unique touches that make it feel like a true home away from home.

The living room is a standout feature, with rich purple sofas, a dazzling crystal chandelier, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for your stay, from a modern oven and stovetop to a charming open-shelving display stocked with tea sets and essentials. The adjacent dining area features a glass-top table and eclectic chairs, set against stunning wallpaper. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cozy breakfast or do a little people watching from above.

The penthouse offers a cozy bedroom with plenty of space and a comfortable bed, so you’ll definitely be well-rested during your stay. You’ll think that you accidentally booked a spa because the bathroom has everything you need to pamper yourself right at the apartment whether it’s in the large bath tub inside, or the massive Swedish hot tub outside.

What to Do Nearby

If you’re looking for an all-encompassing tour of the Cotswolds or a day trip from London, I highly recommend this private driving tour that I did. Not only will you get to visit multiple villages throughout the day, but you’ll also have your own personal professional photographer to take incredible photos along the way.

Go on a walking tour with James, who will share the more sinister side of Stratford with you on this Shakespearean-themed walking tour. I highly recommend doing it at night!
