We were always made welcome and as it is B=B only, were given good places for dinner.
Good sized clean rooms with modern decor. Lovely cooked breakfast with eggs from their own hens.

I received a very pleasant welcome when I arrived at Loxley Guest House. The proprietor kindly allowed me to check in early so that I could freshen up before attending a wedding and had reshuffled her diary so that she could be there to meet me. She seemed happy to discuss my travel arrangements and gave me some good parking advice for when I went it to Stratford.

I stayed in what I think was the only ground floor room. It was very pleasantly appointed and had a modern shower room, a good quality television on the wall and an inviting looking tea tray. The bed sheets looked nice and clean and there was no visible dust or stains on the neutral coloured carpet. The room had three little lamps, down lighters and blackout curtains. It faced on to the main road but I didn't hear much traffic during the early morning so it wasn't a problem.

It was a bit disappointing that there were two spiders on the bedroom ceiling and quite a lot of cob webs. The shower glass was badly watermarked and was wet and the towels weren't well folded which made me wonder if they had been used before (although they smelt fresh and had perhaps just been done in a hurry so they were ready for my early arrival - photos on arrival uploaded). The "Luxurious Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy" toiletries advertised on the web site weren't provided (There was a G&S shower cap but the soap and shower gel were by a cheap looking brand). In fairness to my hosts I didn't raise any of these issues at the time so it is quite possible that they would have rectified them if they'd been given the opportunity. I would normally give people a chance to fix that sort of thing by letting them know at the time but had been rather put off by the comments I had seen here about the husband's manner or dealing with guests). I did meet him briefly on the way out to the wedding and although I couldn't fairly describe him as friendly he was civil and we exchanged some brief pleasantries. (Incidentally and slightly off topic I told someone at the wedding reception that I was staying at the B&B a mile along the road and they replied by asking me if it was the one with the scary husband. It is amazing the reach that Trip Advisor has!). Anyhow as I said he was fine with me and his wife was really friendly so no problems during my stay.

I got back quite late and found the shower to be nice and powerful, that the water was hot and that the bed was comfortable so I got a good nights sleep. Breakfast was really good and served bang no time and on a boiling hot plate. The toast was carefully set on a piece of kitchen paper and wrapped up inside a napkin to keep it fresh - a very nice touch. I was interested to see that one of the three jams in the basket was a good quality "Bonne Mamon" one whilst the other two were by what I consider to be a budget mass catering brand. The OJ was poor quality but the rest of the breakfast ingredients were of a really good standard. In conjunction with the lack of the G & S toiletries this made me wonder if the B & B was on a cost cutting mission.

The Guest House has a lovely garden with lots of colourful plants and a nice, small lawn. The chickens were fun to watch whilst I ate breakfast. All in all I was happy with my one night stay and would be happy to recommend the place to someone looking for a comfortable place in a quiet location but still within very easy driving distance of Stratford.

We found Loxley Guest House following a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. We received a warm welcome from Joules and Andrew and following check in were shown to our rooms. Our room was extremely clean, tastefully decorated and had all that you needed for a extremely comfortable stay. The shower was very powerful and the bed particularly comfortable.Breakfast was really good with fresh eggs from their own chickens..We found the whole stay extremely enjoyable and will certainly return and thanks.

Got the overwhelming feeling guests and the whole business idea of running a guest house was a huge inconvenience for the owner.

Lovely Guest House, unfortunately lacking the staff to match.
