See the historical William Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's cottage nestled in the rolling hillside of Armadale, which are surrounded by beautifully tended gardens of the village green. Admire the refinement of the cobblestoned pathways, the shady trellised archways and the intricacies of the lattice work on the buildings.



The lovely cottages of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway now provide Bed and Breakfast accommodation The William Shakespears Bed & Breakfast guest house has several gorgeous large rooms available from around $160.00 per night, per person including breakfast.

This fantastic location is also available for parties, functions and weddings and offers a buffet style menu for these occasions. This scenic delight may be slightly out of the way, but the picturesque serenity would provide the most wonderful photographs and the most magical place to hold a special occasion or function.

This authentic historical replica village was built in the 1970s and was a huge tourist attraction in its heyday. In those days you could go inside the houses, which were fully furnished as they would have been in the 1600s; now you can only view them from the outside which is still impressive. The is still worth a visit just to wander around the amazing buildings and gardens.
