The Avonlea is a charming and comfortable inn situated in the heart of Stratford -- perfect for enjoying the theaters, food, shopping, and everything else the town has to offer. Our room was well appointed, clean, quiet, and roomy. Although parking is not available, the host will gladly recommend nearby lots that are an easy walk from the inn. We enjoyed our stay!

We stayed at the Avonlea Inn for a Stratford Festival weekend. The room was clean and spacious, and the location was great (about 5 minutes from the Avon Theatre and 5 minutes from the 24-hour Cooper Lot). Check in was easy and convenient.

We had a lovely stay. Perfect location for restaurants, shopping and the theaters. Our room was two stories up, which could be difficult and tiring because of the stairs. But it was also very quiet. Thanks for a great stay.

Despite the name, this is not an inn. It's two rooms for rent above a restaurant. There are no "staff". The owner is available through messaging. The location is fabulous. I strongly encourage anyone thinking of booking to read the 1* reviews before proceeding.

The room is very weathered although clean. We were on the third floor and stairs are narrow and carpeted. The place could use a renovation. The location is excellent.

The room was very nice. The parking was awful.it was recommended to use the free parking but it was very far when travelling with suitcases. If you are not good with stairs then that might be an issue as well. If not for the parking and stairs I would rate this property higher.
