A Most Wondrous Stay in Stratford
Upon a fair eve, my wife and I did chance upon a most enchanting respite in Stratford, where history and hospitality intertwine in a harmony most divine. From the moment we crossed the threshold of this venerable abode—one graced by none other than the illustrious Christopher Plummer—we were met with a warmth most rare, a welcome that bespoke both grace and genuine care.
Our hosts, like players most skilled upon the stage, did guide us through this grand dwelling, where echoes of Stratford’s past linger in every polished wood and carefully curated relic. As if to bid us truly at home, they presented a charcuterie board most bounteous, a feast to delight both eye and palate, setting the tone for an eve of contented repose.
Yet the morn brought forth an even greater spectacle—a three-course breakfast, wrought by hands most deft and devoted. Each morsel, crafted from scratch, bespoke a love for the culinary arts, a testament to the thought and detail woven into every aspect of our stay. Here, indeed, lies an inn where no corner is left unkempt, no comfort overlooked, and no guest uncherished.
Immaculate in both spirit and setting, this Stratford sanctuary is a treasure most rare—a great value, beyond doubt, and a place I commend with highest praise. Should thou seek a retreat rich in history, hospitality, and heart, look no further, for here is an experience most worth thy time.
Verily, we shall...

Hughson Hall is a masterpiece, a living work of art that feels like it was plucked from a storybook and brought to life. Its quiet charm, just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of downtown Stratford, offers the perfect blend of serenity (quiet, tree lined streets) and convenience (10 minute walk to the action!).
Every detail is a testament to the love and care poured into this magnificent home. We stayed in the West Wing, a truly fantastical space with its own private sitting area, a bed so plush you'll never want to leave, and little touches like personal robes that make you feel like royalty. The individual AC units in each room were a lifesaver!
And the breakfasts? Oh my. The breakfasts were a culinary masterpiece. Each course was a delight, prepared with such finesse and care that it was truly one of the highlights of our trip.
What truly makes Hughson Hall an experience of a lifetime, though, are the hosts, Debra and George. They are the embodiment of hospitality; warm, welcoming, and endlessly helpful. Their insider tips on local shops and restaurants made our time in Stratford unforgettable. They treat you not just as a guest, but as a cherished friend.
We're already counting down the days until we can return in...
