Set within the village of Grendon Underwood, this beautifully restored Grade II listed property is said to have been stayed in by William Shakespeare when en route between London and Stratford-upon-Avon. A former coaching inn, part Elizabethan and part Tudor, Shakespeare House dates back over 500 years. Today it is home to luxurious guestrooms, a welcoming drawing room with large inglenook fireplace and television, and an elegant dining room with log fire. The house also boasts front and rear gardens, perfect for whiling away those warm evenings. Set on the Buckinghamshire/Oxon border, Shakespeare House is just 20 minutes away from the historic University City of Oxford and surrounded by beautiful homes and gardens for you to explore.
Your hosts, Nick Hunter and Roy Elsbury, will be delighted to welcome you into their historic home and offer you a unique insight into the past of this fascinating residence. Named after William Shakespeare, tradition tells that the famous playwright stayed here on several occasions when travelling between Stratford-upon-Avon and London. It is also said that he may have gained inspiration during one of his stays here for ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’. During your stay you can stroll through the beautifully restored parterre garden to the rear of the property. Further to the rear is a large lawn bordered to the west by tall willows surrounding an ornamental pond. Set back from the village road, the house also enjoys a front garden, well stocked with mature trees and shrubs. The house is arranged over 3 floors. As a 500-year old house, special facilities cannot be provided for anyone with impaired mobility, but please feel free to ask for any assistance you may need.
