Stay, Sip & Sail Your Way Into September
Picture this: you’ve just arrived at Stratford Parks, the bags are in your cottage (or lodge, or caravan…), and you’re officially on holiday. But instead of just checking in, you’re handed a complimentary drink* to toast your getaway. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, we’ll whisk you away on a free River Taxi ride* so you can sail right into Stratford-upon-Avon in style.
That’s our Stay, Sip & Sail offer – exclusive for September guests – and it’s the perfect way to slip straight into holiday mode. Swap traffic jams for tranquil waters, trade the school run for a river run, and start your getaway with a glass in hand and the breeze in your hair.
When the school holidays end, most people dive headfirst into packed lunches, homework, and early alarms. But here’s a little insider tip: September is actually the best time to get away. Fewer crowds, better prices, and the Warwickshire countryside dressed up in autumn colours – it’s a perfect excuse to escape for a weekend. Stratford Parks is just a short stroll (or boat ride!) from Stratford-upon-Avon, and with so many ways to stay, there’s something for every kind of holidaymaker.
Riverfront Cottages: Your Own Slice of the Avon
If you like a bit of space (and your own front-row seat to the river), our riverside cottages are a total win. They come with private fishing moorings, so if you’re into angling, you can cast a line without leaving your garden. Even if fishing’s not your thing, there’s something magical about sipping your morning coffee whilst watching the river drift past. It’s your own little waterside haven, perfect for families or couples wanting that “home away from home” vibe.
Riverside Lodges: Decks, Drinks & Dreamy Views
If you’re all about views and a touch of luxury, you’ll want to check out our Riverside Lodges. These beauties are perched right on the Avon, with private decking for sunset drinks and cosy evenings. They’re spacious, stylish, and a perfect base for exploring Stratford, or just doing absolutely nothing but admiring the river all day!
Cosy Caravans: Classic Holiday Charm
For a more traditional stay, our holiday caravans tick every box: comfy beds, everything you need to cook up a hearty breakfast, and a proper base for your Stratford adventures. They’re affordable, cosy, and perfect for families or couples who love the simplicity of a classic British caravan holiday, with a little extra style.
Glamping Pods: Outdoorsy, But Make It Comfy
Want all the fun of camping without the soggy socks? Our glamping pods are the answer. They’re warm, insulated, and much easier than wrestling with a tent in September’s “changeable” weather (let’s be honest, British autumns are nothing if not unpredictable). You’ll have a proper bed, a roof over your head, and all the charm of a camping trip, with none of the midnight airbed drama.
Touring: Park Up, Plug In & Relax
Bringing your own caravan or motorhome? Perfect! Our touring pitches give you the freedom of the open road with all the comforts of Stratford Parks – grass pitches, electric hook-ups, modern facilities, and plenty of space to settle in. It’s the best of both worlds: your home on wheels, plus our gorgeous park and riverside location.
Why September Holidays Are the Best Holidays
Once the summer rush is over, Stratford-upon-Avon slows down in the loveliest way. The crowds vanish, the queues disappear, and the riverside paths are lined with golden leaves. It’s peaceful, it’s calm, and it’s all yours to enjoy. September is the time to sneak away. Think of it as your reward for surviving the summer holidays.
