Stratford-upon-Avon Rail & Cruise

Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside, the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel offers a warm welcome just a short drive from Stratford-upon-Avon and a stone’s throw from Charlecote Park. Set within a former farmhouse and surrounded by beautiful gardens, this characterful retreat offers rustic charm and comfort. Enjoy cosy lounges, stylish rooms, and a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. With bed and breakfast included, plus dinner on your second evening and a leisurely midday checkout, you'll have plenty of time to savour every moment.

Settle into an elegant vintage Pullman carriage on the beautifully restored Shakespeare Express and savour a delicious Sunday lunch for two as picturesque Warwickshire landscapes roll by. A 5-hour scenic round trip, enjoy a short pause at Birmingham Snow Hill to step off and admire the train, before making your way to the charming Charlecote Pheasant Hotel, where a chilled bottle of Prosecco awaits in your room. Spend the evening relaxing in peaceful surroundings or exploring nearby Stratford-upon-Avon's historic streets and cosy pubs. 

Wake up to a full English breakfast before heading into the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare and one of England's prettiest market towns. Browse boutique shops, see a show at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, discover centuries of history, and soak up the atmosphere of its timber-framed streets. Later, enjoy a relaxing cruise along the River Avon, taking in idyllic scenery from the water. In the evening, return to the hotel for dinner, with a £25 per person allowance included, making for a wonderfully relaxing end to the day.
