HOTELS IN WARWICKSHIRE FOR SHORT BREAKS

It's difficult to avoid Shakespeare on a short break in Warwickshire, but it's always worth a try!

From your hotel in Stratford-on-Avon, you are always just a short walk from the Bard's influence, whether it’s his birthplace, or the Royal Shakespeare Company's riverside theatre. Yet there is a lot more to Stratford than the nation's favourite playwright, and it's well worth exploring the town's excellent shopping, lovely tearooms and cosy pubs before retiring to your Warwickshire bed and breakfast for a well-earned rest!

Warwick Castle dominates the skyline of the city, and during the summer its medieval walls ring to the sounds of jousting knights, clashing broad swords - and delighted children! Warwick Castle survived the fire of 1694 that destroyed much of medieval Warwick but the remaining mix of Georgian elegance and black-beamed originals make Warwick a great place to explore on foot.

The city of Coventry knows too well the effect of fire; almost destroyed in World War II, the city rebuilt itself with pride A most dramatic reminder of those dark days is the shell of the old Cathedral sitting alongside the new modern Cathedral with its stark angles and modern glass. Sports fans will want to stay in a Rugby hotel to discover the origins of their favourite sport at the Rugby School Museum.
Why not stay in a Warwickshire hotel or bed and breakfast, and discover the varied countryside beyond the cities and motorways, in pretty Cotswold villages such as Shipston on Stour, or Bidford-on-Avon.
A short break in Warwickshire has so much to offer - get out there and discover it for yourself.
