Looking for accommodation in Stratford-upon-Avon?

Many guests who take a Go Cotswolds tour come just for the day. They take the train from London or Oxford to Moreton-in-Marsh, or from Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon. Then, at the end of the day, they take the train back again. If you have only one day to spend in the Cotswolds, then this is a great way to take a day trip!

However, why not find accommodation in Stratford-upon-Avon and spend a night or two here? There is so much more to discover in the Cotswolds!

Plus, with several different Go Cotswolds tours to choose from, why not stay a while and take more than one?
