About this property

The Lily Pad Riverside Apartment

The Lily Pad is a contemporary, spacious, ground floor apartment nestled on the banks of the beautiful River Avon, complete with its own private decking area and mooring. Thoughtfully developed and designed to accommodate guests in luxurious style, the property offers modern living in picturesque surroundings, providing the perfect escape for discerning couples.

Large bi-fold doors open the apartment onto the decking area, creating a sublime space for indoor/outdoor living. Wake to the sound of birdsong and spend the morning watching the river boats lazily go by. Escape into the idyllic English countryside along one of the many rambling trails or sample the local cuisine in traditional pubs or the exclusive riverside restaurant, all on your doorstep. Guests are welcome to bring canoes or small boats to explore the many beautiful villages along the river, or enjoy a spot of fishing from the private mooring.

The Lily Pad is only a 7 mile drive away from Stratford-upon-Avon, with a bustling night life and a wealth of bistro pubs, restaurants and clubs, the birthplace of Shakespeare offers everything you could want for the perfect night out, as you like it. Take in some culture at the world famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RSC) before indulging in the best in fine dining, then head back to your ‘home away from home’. Taste a slice of the good life – the Lily Pad life.

Real Little Gem
The Lily Pad is absolutely delightful - a wonderfully relaxing spot right on the riverbank and with all amenities close at hand. I had a lovely time busy doing nothing and didn't feel guilty once. The weather was an added bonus. Very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Lovely short break...
Very spacious and well equipped with a comfortable bed and shower. The location is close to a number of places to eat including "The Bridge" and Harry Bones's take away pizza both which we would recommend. Prosecco in the fridge upon arrival was a nice touch! Great view over the river and a Co-op close by. We used the park and ride to get into Stratford which was only a few miles away. Would happily stay there again

Perfect, restful, stay
Everything about the Lily Pad works the way it should. This makes staying there a delight, one can just relax and enjoy the river drifting by outside, the comfort and the excellent situation. As before, this all made for a lovely stay. Thank you, Victoria!
