Stratford is known around the world for our Shakespearean Theatre. There are countless articles in papers across the world about how wonderful it is here! As a long time resident I feel the same way! We love our town and often choose to staycation here because we love every bit of it! So many fabulous restaurants, theatre, and a vibrant live music scene. We also bring in out of town friends and go to the same plays more than once. Every time we come out of a play we talk about how incredibly lucky we are to have this right in our own town and can literally walk to and from our home. I recommend restaurant hopping...so fun...start with apps, move to next spot for main, hop on over to third spot for dessert, stroll over to a live music spot for a drink or two and enjoy the talent. Walk through the beautiful Shakespearean Garden, have a picnic by the river. Always something great to do!
We look forward to welcoming you!

The Elegant Swan was absolutely perfect. It was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The decor was awesome, warm and relaxing. Once we parked car we could walk to downtown and the Avon Theatre. We will absolutely stay here on another trip!!

Very convenient location for a Stratford weekend with friends!
This was our second stay in this lovely apartment and we were very glad to be back. With comfy beds, good water pressure in the shower, and a delightful balcony to enjoy the evening, it is a top notch place to stay. The location is ideal and the host is very responsive.
Very clean. The host responded when ever we needed them.

Great apartment, great location. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. Easy walk to theatres ( the farthest away the festival theatre is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive)
Good communication with the hosts and so nice to have teas and coffee already in the cupboards.
We really enjoy this property. The balcony is nice for the summer and the fireplace is great in winter. The unit is very comfortable, with ample towels, throws, and dishes. I especially appreciated having a few unbreakable glasses and dishes - I hate worrying that I’m going to drop or chip something. Having two bedrooms and two full bathrooms is very convenient, as is parking right outside the door and an elevator to the unit. We met the owners husband when he was clearing snow and ice late in the day — much appreciated!
