Managed to see this attraction in less than 20 minutes and at £12.00 per ticket it wasn't worth the entrance fee. Was ushered from room to room in a large group and given a 2 minute speech from a member of staff in each room. A lot of information seemed to be based purely on guess work and presented in... more

Really beautiful old house in a quaint city. The entrance it's not cheap but you have it for a year and you can visit 2 other house related to Shakespeare. more

I visited Shakespeare's birthplace two weeks ago and was entranced. I thought the opening exhibit contained interesting information for the novice visitor, although the movie itself could have used a touch of American film genius. The house was quite an experience for a life-long admirer of the Bard. Seeing the windows which contained signatures by visitors such as Emerson and... more

We saw all 5 properties, this being the last, and were very disappointed. Despite being told that the interior gaudy wall hangings had been carefully researched they looked appalling. I do not beleive that a somewhat modest merchants's house would have had decoration like this. Two days before we'd been at the grand Elizabethan Charcotte Park run by the National... more

We bought the ticket for all 5 houses from the Visitors Centre next door to the Birthplace and enjoyed all of them. Shakespeares birthplace is the most popular so a great place to start. Walking round the rooms of the house give you a good idea of life in 16th century in the family home of William Shakespeare. The parlour,... more

The main entrance is to the left of the house, in a modern building that could easily be mistaken for a public library. The main draw is the actual house itself since its contents are not original (but at least they give a good idea of what the interior of the house would have looked like). You won't spend a... more

I was not impressed by Shakespeare's house, but not disappointed either. It is quite small, but probably historically realistic. I guess I expected something more grand, but then again, Shakespeare was a regular guy who became famous later in life. You you happen to be in Stratford-upon-Avon, I wouldn't miss it, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way... more

A cramped an uninspired presentation of the life and times of the World's greatest dramatist. I would recommend using your entrance fee to buy some copies of his plays instead, read them and you will feel much more satisfied and fulfilled that you will wandering around this silly place. Stratford itself is a dull town, just the standard cookie-cutter high... more

Just returned from a wonderful vacation in England, seeing the typically things one usually sees and loving most of them. But in all honesty, I could easily have done without the visit to Stratford, and more specifically to Shakespeare's birthplace. It lacked authenticity, and felt like a cattle call as we were quickly paraded through. Don't go out of your... more
