A lovely place to eat in Broadway. It’s has a fantastic play area fir the children too but you’d need to ask a local as it’s too difficult to describe how to get there.

Wear sensible walking shoes and bring a coat as it feels like your on top of the world and can get chilly. You will need change for parking! There is a great coffee shop for snacks and coffee. WE love it here in the summer with our dog and has a great coffee shop here too.

Stratford Leisure centre
Stratford has a great Leisure centre in town and the kids will love is as it has a climbing wall, gym and two swimming pools with great viewing areas. My advice would be pack bathing costumes and towels if weather is not so good and your looking for an inside activity with the kids. They also have fun inflatable times at weekends and holiday times.

Buses & trains
The Bus and train network are a great and relatively cheap way of getting about to Warwick Castle, Birmingham, Oxford and London with regular buses to the Cotswolds.

Tipping
Service charges are automatically added to bills in many places but otherwise a 20% tip is quite common if you’ve been pleased with the service and food received.
