Travel Advice
Hi! My husband and I have tickets to a play in Stratford-upon-Avon in August. We will be landing in London Heathrow very early morning the day of the show. We also have to be back in London the day after the show.
I’ve never been to the Cotswolds so I thought it would be cool to stay that one night of the show in the Cotswolds and just drive in and out of Stratford-upon-Avon for the show. We could also enjoy the morning after in the Cotswolds.
I was hoping to be able to Uber between places but have read that Uber it’s practically nonexistent in the Cotswolds. We’re pretty nervous to get a rental car since we’ve never driven on the opposite side of the road for us, but may have to consider it if absolutely necessary. So my question is—given the plans below, how would you advise we handle transportation? Rental car absolutely necessary? Local taxi service? Trains to and from London + taxi?
Friday
- London Heathrow — Cotswolds
- Cotswolds — Stratford-upon-Avon roundtrip at night for a play
Saturday
- Visit 2 towns in Cotswolds in morning (looking to stay in Crowley Manor but want to visit Bourton-on-the-Water) Is there a more convenient place to stay for a quintessential Cotswolds experience?
- Cotswolds to London central
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!!
