Charming country inn named after Shakespeare's mother, just 3 miles from Stratford
Location & History
The Mary Arden Inn sits in the village of Wilmcote, directly opposite Mary Arden's House, the childhood home of Shakespeare's mother. Stratford-upon-Avon town centre is 3 miles away, with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Anne Hathaway's Cottage within a short drive. Warwick Castle is 10 miles from the inn, and Wilmcote Railway Station is a 5-minute walk, offering direct trains to Stratford.
Rooms
Bedrooms are decorated in a traditional style with hand-picked furnishings, including four-poster beds in suites such as the Romeo & Juliet Suite and the King Lear Suite. Each room has an en-suite bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities, and a flat-screen TV. The suites offer spacious seating areas with armchairs and large wardrobes, reflecting the character of the 16th-century building.
Dining & Bar
The on-site bar and restaurant serves fresh local cuisine, with a menu that changes regularly and includes full English breakfasts made with eggs and milk from nearby farms. The lounge bar has a log burner for cold months, and drinks can be served on the outdoor terrace or in the garden during summer. Sunday lunch and evening meals are available Monday to Saturday until 8pm, with a Sunday folk band performing regularly.
Amenities & Services
The inn provides free parking with ample spaces for cars and coaches, accessible parking, and CCTV security both inside and outside the property. A business centre with meeting and banquet facilities is available for conferences or private events, and daily housekeeping is included. Free Wi-Fi is accessible in the public areas, and the designated smoking area is located outdoors.
Pet & Family Policy
Pets are allowed in guest rooms at no extra charge, and the outdoor garden and terrace provide space for dogs to exercise. Family rooms are available, including suites that can accommodate up to four guests with extra sofa beds. The inn also offers a late check-out upon request, and the quiet village location ensures a peaceful night for families with children.
