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.

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

We loved absolutely everything about this beautiful, stylish studio beside the river. It is every bit as lovely as it looks in the photographs. Relax and potter or explore the delights that this part of Warwickshire has to offer. Victoria and Richard are perfect hosts. Who can ask for anything more!

Lovely little apartment right on the river, great location for walking to local spots plus day trips viewing the Cotswolds. Only comment there is a step up to the bathroom, and if need to visit the bathroom during the night, need to be careful if light not on. Otherwise beautiful place
