Absolutely perfect!
Spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly need to hand.
It was wonderful to sit out on the deckings and feed the ducks and swans. Plenty of outdoor seating with comfy cushions.
Richard was a wonderful host, though sadly we didn't get to meet Victoria during our stay, we did chat on the phone and she was incredibly helpful.
Couldn't have wished for a better spot for my birthday weekend and the bottle of fizz was also much appreciated.
stayed here a few times now. Lovely place in a great location. Supermarket, pubs,restaurants all in walking distance. Secure off road parking right outside the door.Well worth a visit.
super relaxing location on the river, great location for the local amenities, everything you need, and a friendly helpful host - what more could you ask for!
Superb riverside accommodation, set in a quiet, friendly village with a good selection of restaurants and inns right on your doorstep. Add in your very welcoming hosts and you have the perfect relaxing British country getaway.
Peaceful, relaxing stay in a lovely modern, clean riverside apartment.A warm welcome from the owners who were more than happy to help if needed.Great spot for day trips around the Cotswolds.
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.
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.
Excellent stay at the lilypad, hosts were attentive and welcoming. Beautiful clean property with lots of space to enjoy. Definitely will return in the summer. Fantastic views of the river in the sun!
Could not ask for a lovelier place. Scenic
Riverside view, fantastic location, sparkling clean and well appointed. Our second visit and we will be back!
Wonderful stay at this great location. Hosts couldn’t have been more helpful. Very relaxing overlooking the river. Would definitely recommend. Five stars for everything which is very rare!
Beautiful riverside getaway with fantastic hosts – perfect for exploring and relaxing!
We had a fantastic stay at Lily Pad in Bidford-on-Avon. The property is finished to a very high standard and set in a beautiful, picturesque area, making it an excellent base for exploring the region.The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Whether in sunshine or rain, the property is perfect for a relaxing break.We especially loved the easy access to the river for kayaking — a real highlight of our stay.We’ll definitely be back!
We enjoyed a short break in this lovely peaceful property. It was very cosy and comfortable. The view and situation is perfect. The kitchen has everything you need. The bedroom is very comfortable with a great ensuite. We would be very happy to stay there again.
Everything about the Lily Pad works the way it should. This makes staying there a delight, one can just relax and enjoy the river drifting by outside, the comfort and the excellent situation. As before, this all made for a lovely stay.
Thank you, Victoria!
Lily Pad was better than we expected . Looks much better than the photos. Bedroom and bathroom were fancy, heated towel rails and floor, very comfortable bed and setting on Avon was beautiful. Big kitchen with fully working appliances and heating. No problems at all with our stay.
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 property next to the river Avon. Property is very modern inside and very comfortable.
The decking is a great sun trap .
Great place to watch the boats etc go by if that's what you wish to do .
Thank you Victoria and Richard
Property is first class. Right on the waterfront. Really wonderful for a relaxing holiday. Bus service available in Village Square to Stratford on Avon. 2 sipermarkets in village and plenty of choice for places to eat.
