Hotels in Bidford-on-Avon
Bidford-on-Avon village is situated on the River Avon, 7 miles downstream of Stratford-upon-Avon and about the same distance upstream of Evesham. The village grew up around an ancient ford, now replaced by a narrow stone bridge, on the Ryknild Street roman road, now a minor country road to Honeybourne 4 miles to the south. To the north Alcester is about 4 miles away, Redditch 10 miles away and Birmingham 25 miles away.
William Shakespeare once had a drinking competition and then wrote a poem about 'Drunken Bidford' and also 'Papist Wixford', to name two of the local villages with which he seems to have had a few unresolved issues.
One of the leading hotels in Bidford-on-Avon is Metropolitan Hotel & Bidford Golf Club, which offers 54 bedrooms with a resident's bar, lounge, function room and dining facility and a self contained conference facility with its own lounge and outdoor patio area.
The hotel has its own 18-hole course, set in 230 acres, which has matured into one of the Midlands leading destinations for golfing getaways at affordable prices. At 7,233 yards, it is one of the longest and most challenging courses in England.
