Hotels in Snitterfield

Snitterfield makes a peaceful, well-placed base for exploring Warwickshire without competing with the crowds that gather in Stratford-upon-Avon itself. The village and its surrounding lanes suit those after cottages, bed and breakfasts or small countryside guesthouses rather than big chain hotels, with the appeal here being genuine rural quiet: fields, hedgerows and birdsong rather than traffic. Snitterfield Bushes nature reserve and the Monarch's Way footpath are both within easy walking distance of the village, so a stay here works well for anyone planning to spend their days outdoors before retreating to somewhere comfortable in the evening.

Because the village itself is small, choice is limited, and many visitors base themselves in or around Stratford-upon-Avon, four and a half miles away, where the range of hotels, inns and guesthouses is far wider, from historic coaching inns to modern boutique stays. That said, staying in or near Snitterfield rather than in the town centre gives easy access to Shakespeare's birthplace and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre while still returning each evening to open Warwickshire countryside. Booking ahead is worthwhile during the Stratford-upon-Avon festival season and over the summer months, when demand across the wider area picks up considerably.
