Where is the hotel?
It is quite secluded, in the village of Broom, but it is only a 15-minute drive from Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford upon Avon and near Evesham and the Cotswolds.
Free parking is available to guests.
What is the hotel like?
A former 16th-century farmhouse, it was transformed in 2008 into a traditional pub and steakhouse, with 12 en-suite rooms.
As a family-run business, it is very homely and welcoming. This comes across in their food menus and bedroom set-up.
What is there to do at the hotel?
At the Inn itself, there is not lots to do, but plenty surrounding the hotel. Visit Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford upon Avon and the Cotswolds to see these historic attractions.
Or visit the Roman Alcester Heritage Centre to see Roman treasures from the archaeological digs.
What is there to eat and drink there?
The hotel menu varies as the owners work very closely with the Head Chef and staff.
Definitely eat in the steakhouse. It serves a huge array of food, including burgers and fish and chips.
Make sure to save room for one of the many desserts - the Malteser cookie pie was particularly indulgent.
Their country pub is also a great spot to try locally sourced-brewed ales and globally known beer. And if it's sunny, you can sit in the beer garden.
A bonus is the huge outdoor play area by the pub where kids can have fun while the adults are sipping beers.
What are the rooms like?
Prices start from £115 a night for a double room, with breakfast included.
All the rooms are spacious and clean, and the inn combines original Tudor features with modern furniture. The Shakespeare Suite on the top floor has a roll-top bathtub, very comfortable seating area and a huge bed.
If you want to cater for yourself, it's not a problem as there are four self-catering cottages.
Is hotel family-friendly?
Yes. As a family-run business, it opens its doors to families.
Is there access for guests with disabilities?
The ground floor is wheelchair accessible. For specific room details get in contact with the Inn.
