Charlecote Pheasant Hotel

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.

Day 1 – Vintage Rail Dining & Countryside Comfort

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. 

Day 2 – Stratford-upon-Avon & A Cruise Along the Avon

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.

Total cost includes local tax based on current exchange rates. These taxes are payable upon arrival at the hotel and may change before you arrive.
