This place was perfect! It was our first time in Stratford and Henry House was exactly what we were looking for. Very close to the main core of restaurants and theatre. Brett was super helpful and communicated everything early and often and was very responsive. I had made a special request for an ice bucket with ice and champagne glasses and it was ready to go as we arrived! The front room in the Lake Suite was the best part. We spent lots of time sitting on the sofa and enjoying the views of the river nearby. The bed was large and comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a unique experience for their trip to Stratford.

Thank you so much — what a wonderful first Stratford experience to read about! We're so glad the champagne glasses and ice bucket were ready and waiting — those little touches are what make a stay feel truly special, and it sounds like you made great use of them! The front room in the Lake Suite really is something else, and we love hearing that you soaked up every moment of that river view. We hope Henry House will be your home away from home on every future Stratford visit! 🥂

This little suite was perfect! Cute, clean & comfortable, with all the amenities you can find in a great hotel but with the charm of an inn. Brett, the host of Henry House, makes sure you have everything you need and are well taken care of. Suite is a short 3 minute walk away from restaurants and boutiques, could not ask for a better location. Will definitely return if I am back in Stratford.

Can't Beat the Location

Around the corner from the Tom Patterson Theatre, 1.5 blocks from downtown--you just can't beat this one for location! Once I parked my car on my arrival I never had to move it through the rest of my visit. The suite was nicely decorated and impeccably maintained. Communications with the owner were great. Give this one a try!!

A lovely cozy space, steps from the Tom Patterson theatre. Surprisingly quiet and well thought out for privacy details, given the home is on a busy street. I actually live in Stratford but I used this space as my bridal getting ready suite. The room was charming for photos with the 4-poster bed, sitting area with French doors, and gorgeous woodwork. We also slept here on the wedding night after the reception and the bed was very comfy. Parking is tight but also well thought out. Would highly recommend!

Stately elegance

Being a photographer and it being Stratford, I rented the property for an Elizabethan photoshoot. My model and her partner were the ones to stay overnight. For photography it is a dream: wide expanse of windows across the front, rich wood panelling in the sun room, rich wood four poster bed, elegant antique furniture, a stone's throw from the Avon River. For theatre goers it is an excellent location only steps from the Tom Patterson Theatre, and easily walkable to the Festival and Avon Theatres. The owners are very approachable, helpful and available. Brett in particular was incredibly kind to me as a photographer, providing me with valuable help and indulgence. I have no hesitation whatever in recommending Henry House. I know it's where I'll be staying if I'm going to be staying in Stratford overnight in the future.

Thank you so much for this truly beautiful review — and what a unique and wonderful way to experience Henry House! An Elizabethan photoshoot in a space with wood panelling, a four-poster bed, and antique furniture — we can only imagine how stunning those images must have turned out. It means so much to hear that the light, the textures, and the setting all came together so perfectly for your vision. We'd absolutely love to welcome you and your lens back to Henry House anytime! 📸

Perfect for Theatregoers

If you've attended the Stratford Festival, chances are that you have walked past this charming cottage on Waterloo street just at the very edge of downtown. The location is basically perfect. It is roughly a 2-minute walk to the Tom Patterson Theatre, perhaps 5 minutes from the Avon and maybe 15 pleasant minutes along the lake to the Festival. It is close to most of Stratford's best restaurants. The building itself appears mostly to be a cottage divided in half with two one-bedroom suites. We had the Lakeview Suite, which was very nice and well-decorated. I would note that while, yes, you can see the lake from the porch/sitting area, it's not quite on the lake (because, as to the location, the Tom Patterson Theatre is almost next door). The suite itself consists of a bedroom with dramatic 4-poster bed, a private bath, and what appears to be an enclosed porch that serves as the sitting area/office/"kitchenette" area. The kitchenette is mostly a cupboard with microwave oven and coffee machine. In our case, we ate out every night, so we were fine (plus they gave us some very good restaurant suggestions). You are also about 90 seconds from the edge of town, where there are many cafes, restaurants, etc. The communication with the owners is very good and they were highly responsive. This is a good alternative to a hotel, and has comparable amenities to what we might expect at a nice hotel suite, plus the location is great.

Thank you so much for such a wonderfully detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad the Lakeview Suite and its location worked out so perfectly for your Festival experience — being just steps from the Tom Patterson Theatre really is one of Henry House's greatest gifts. We appreciate your honest and balanced observations, and we're thrilled that the restaurant suggestions, the communication, and the overall experience all hit the mark. We hope to welcome you back for another season at the Stratford Festival very soon! 🎭
