The Stratford-upon-Avon Essential Guide has become an integral part of my 'welcome to Stratford' for the guests at my Bed & Breakfast. It enables me to quickly and clearly show where all restaurants and attractions are on its clear and easy to read map in the middle pages. Its vouchers and special offers are always a hit with guests. Its size is perfect for pocket or handbag so can be carried round town and is usually taken onward due to its other map covering the Cotswolds and Warwick. It really is an ESSENTIAL guide. Thanks Sharon!
William Bruce, Moss Cottage B&B
The Essential Guide is a fantastic tool we use to enhance our guests experience when visiting Stratford. The excellent map clearly shows the major tourist attractions so it makes it very easy to show them their way around the town. It’s an added bonus that our favorite restaurants often advertise in it so we can easy direct them to our recommendations. We love it when local attractions/restaurants offer discounts in the guide so we can offer these to the guests.

This B&B could not operate without it. Guests love the map is so clear, and is full of information to help with their stay.
