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
