Hunters Moon

The morning light filters through ancient oaks onto the gabled roof of a proper Warwickshire guest house — this is Shakespeare country, and Hunters Moon feels like it knows it.

This one suits couples after theatre weekends in Stratford, walkers exploring the Cotswold fringes, or anyone wanting a proper bed but with a bit of camping-pod flexibility thrown in. You're in the heart of market-town England here — half-timbered villages, the Avon meandering through water meadows, and yes, the RSC just down the road. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking if you've got a four-legged companion in tow.

The setup is small-scale and year-round: a traditional guest house with the option of camping pods for those who prefer a canvas-and-timber compromise. Campfires are allowed but check the current policy when you arrive. Facilities aren't heavily advertised, so expect a straightforward, uncluttered stay — the kind of place where you're here for location and a warm welcome, not a long list of bells and whistles.
