The 4* Billesley Manor is a fine Elizabethan house set in 11 acres of grounds in the heart of Shakespeare country. A short 5-10 minute drive from the hotel is Stratford-upon-Avon, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal Shakespeare Theatre which shares its front of house with the Swan Theatre. Guests can immerse themselves in the life and literature of William Shakespeare, and plunge into the land of historic England. This beautiful market town has over 800 years of history with a rich architectural heritage, a city tour is an ideal way to explore the medieval streets and familiarise yourself with the its wonderful buildings. Alternatively a cruise down the river Avon offers a different perspective of the town with small boats available for rent or organised cruises operating throughout the day and into the evening. More Info.
