The Halford Bridge Inn

We are a quintessential 16th Century Coaching Inn in the beautiful countryside of Warwickshire. We are on the Fosse Way which is the gateway to the Cotswolds approx. 3 miles outside of Shipston-on-Stour. We offer a comfortable restaurant where we’ll be offering a Breakfast, Lunch and À La Carté menu, with an additional bar menu too. Our rooms are beautifully appointed all with an en-suite bathroom, whilst offering beautiful village outlooks or stunning views across the Cotswold countryside. There is free Wi-Fi for all guests and a comfortable bar area where our locals gather for a well-kept ale or a tasty Gin and Tonic, in front of the beautiful fireplace and cosy log burner.

Halford Bridge Inn stopover

Reviewed By Sharperchef

I stayed at the Halford Bridge Inn for the night while on a cycling tour of the Cotswolds while my fellow cyclists were camping. The building a beautiful characterful 16th century coaching Inn with beautiful surroundings. The current owners have only recently purchased the venue and are making every effort to make it into something special. The room was comfortable and had everything I could possibly have wanted. The real secret is the family themselves. They could not possibly have made any more effort to make my stay as lovely as possible. The breakfast was also far more impressive than any chain hotel. This is a lovely place to stay.

Friendly, comfortable stay

Reviewed By Alison T

Thank you to Emma & staff for a very enjoyable stay. We were greeted by Luke on arrival who was friendly & helpful, he made us feel at home. We had drinks in the bar whilst watching Saturday afternoon football, we felt very welcome and the whole place had a friendly, happy atmosphere.Our room was clean & the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent & plentiful . We chose to stay here after reading good reviews & it certainly lived up to the good reputation it has. It was ideally situated for a gin tasting experience we had booked, it was about a 10 minute drive & was worth the taxi ride there.

The Bower House, Restaurant & Rooms

The Bower House is in the historic market town of Shipston on Stour, at the northern edge of the Cotswolds, 10 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. Our Grade II-listed building, originally built in 1731, has been painstakingly and lovingly restored. The ground floor is home to our restaurant and bar, and we have five beautiful and very comfortable en-suite bedrooms on the first and second floors.

Fantastic room and breakfast

Reviewed By DLF12

We stayed in the Bay Room at the Bower House on a Saturday night as we were eating in the restaurant. The room was fantastic with lovely furnishings, a window seat and huge bathroom with separate shower room. There was also an additional room with bunk bed. The bed was comfortable and the temperature not too hot as is often the case. Our room cost £160 and included breakfast for the 2 of us. We had the full English and a veggie equivalent both of which were very good. It was a great overnight stay and we would happily return.

The Norman Knight

Stay with us and wake up in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Our self-catering apartment, The Granary, is a charming character bolt-hole in the heart of Whichford. Alternatively camp in comfort all year round in one of our beautiful, high-spec glamping pods.

Lovely old pub in a picturesque village

Reviewed By H8461LHsusanh

Went here with my Auntie because I was attracted to the menu as it had shell fish on it. I had a dressed crab with crusty bread ( there wasn’t enough bread just two very small pieces requested more which was charged at £2.60 for four small pieces). My Aunt ordered a small portion of cod and chips which was ample. Both dishes was presented very attractively and tasted as good as it looked. We had ice cream for desert which was yummy but would have been nicer with a wafer. It was a wet Wednesday lunch time and busy, I think parking would be a problem at busy times.

English Countryside Gem

Reviewed By Mike P

A special welcome awaits you from Jane and William at this delightful, historic B & B in the peaceful village of Halford. It's a beautiful house in stunning grounds overlooking the River Stour. I was walking Shakespeare's Way from Stratford and this was my first stop. Despite arriving early I was warmly greeted with tea and cake. My bedroom dated back to 1556, featuring ancient beams and a very comfortable bed. My breakfast was first class. I thoroughly recommend the Old Manor House for every type of traveller. Note that pub in Halford is excellent but does not serve food on Monday or Tuesday.

The Lazy Pug

Great lunch

Reviewed By Carolyn M

Mr M & I have just had a fab lunch at the Lazy Pug. Great choice of food for a Sunday - roasts, burgers, pizza etc. We both had burgers which were great & lovely chips too followed by coffees. Staff very friendly & attentive. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Shame we don’t live nearby as this would definitely become our local. After being turned away from a few other pubs as not booked on a Sunday, this was a great find. Highly recommend.

The White Horse

A friendly pub, boasting a real open fire, a great selection of real ales, lagers and ciders. Please check when booking for details of any possible late entertainment. Dogs and well-behaved owners are welcome also, but unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the rooms. Please inform us of any special dietary requests and we will do our best to provide these.
