About this property

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. Take in some culture at the world famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RSC) before indulging in the best in fine dining, then head back to your ‘home away from home’. Taste a slice of the good life – the Lily Pad life.

The property was easy to find, and we were met straight away by the friendly, welcoming host who showed us round. We had a lovely 3 nights here - the property is lovely to relax in and is wonderfully located to visit a whole host of tourist attractions. The village has shops and highly recommend the Bridge restaurant. A really lovely break, and a pleasure to recommend this lovely property.

Beautiful apartment, with lovely view

We loved our stay in The Lily Pad, it was spotlessly clean, lovely comfortable bed and fluffy towels. The decking and outdoor furniture and view of the river was really enjoyed. Our hosts Richard and Vicky were very welcoming and friendly, and there are lots of places to visit nearby.

What an absolutely lovely stay! First I want to say that Victoria and Richard were wonderful host - very attentive to my needs and very friendly! The property was modern and clean and every amenity was provided. The loveliest part was the 3-tiered deck that opened directly onto the River Avon! Fed ducks and swans as they paddled by and just relaxed! Perfect stay centrally located for all Shakespeare enthusiasts! Loved this place!

Stayed at the Lily Pad for 4 years running, this time for 2 weeks, we didn’t need to go anywhere as all we wanted was to relax in a lovely setting, which we certainly did. We fished from the private jetty catching, roach, rudd, perch and a couple of pike. The hosts are perfect and ensure their guests are well looked after.
