Shakespeare House

Bucks

Elizabethan Luxury.

 A fine Elizabethan coaching inn forms the backdrop for this sumptuous boutique bed & breakfast which, it is said, was once a resting place for the great bard - en-route between London and Stratford upon Avon.  Perfect for lovers of English history and the theatre that enjoy glamour, luxury and comfort.

Location

Shakespeare House boutique bed & breakfast is situated on the outskirts of the rural village of Grendon Underwood in the Vale of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.  The house is set back from the village road within its own beautiful grounds which include a restored parterre flower garden.

Shakespeare House is perfectly situated for exploring other nearby historic houses and gardens which include the home of the Rothschild family, Waddesdon Manor, The National Trust’s Claydon House, Stowe House and park and Blenheim Palace.  Oxford is 20 minutes by car, and Stratford upon Avon an hour.
