Ettington Park Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon

Building and grounds are gorgeous. Old fashioned charm. Swimming pool and spa are fabulous. Restaurant was good.

Understaffed at breakfast. they have the options of a full hot and cold buffet or cooked to order food. We took some continental and waited for our order to be taken for cooked. There was only 1 guy serving for the whole breakfast room. The guy sitting next to us had to ask 3 times for toast and it arrived about 1/2 hour later. We never had our order taken. In the end we gave up. Such a shame really, because the rest of our stay was great. The hotel did take the breakfast charge off our bill, which we appreciated.

Disappointed as looks quite large. No cosy nooks to sit and relax in or read . There was a fire in reception as you walked in but nowhere else. The breakfast was very disappointing. buffet style which was not very good it was busy staff could not keep up so waiting for food was normal. When I asked for a menu for breakfast I was told they didn’t give them out as they were under staffed in the kitchen.when I asked why have that couple got a menu the waiter said they know the trick as they were here yesterday my response was there should be no trick.

Service was very slow and not to the standard you expect for the rating.

Being surrounded by lush greenery made the whole experience feel peaceful and relaxing. The cedar tree in the garden was especially beautiful and added so much character to the place. We also really enjoyed the pool, sauna, and jacuzzi within the complex

The service, breakfast and meals were average.

Its a beautiful property but the rooms are quite cold so unless you are there during a warmer season be prepared to not have a cosy warm stay.

It’s is indeed cold and you can feel drafts from everywhere

Staff are very welcoming. Lovely surroundings.

Confusion with room service breakfast- but was eventually resolved

Picturesque,lovely pool,jacuzzi sauna and steam room,all clean and working properly

Nothing at all it was all lovely

It was steeped in history, interesting with nooks and corners in beautiful grounds. The spa was excellent and the staff were kind and helpful catering to all one’s needs

There was nothing not to like

The hotel was very picturesque and in a great location. Rooms were very nice and clean too. We upgraded to a feature room, a very nice reasonably sized room, bathroom was adequate but disappointed that it was a step in bath shower and not a dedicated shower. All staff were very friendly and professional, the waiting staff were excellent. We enjoyed the Spa and overall the Hotel enabled a relaxing break.

Although the food we tried was very nice some dishes were unavailable which was disappointing as it was not an extensive Menu. Also my last evening meal was Spiced Lentils with Asian pickles, clearly the Chef didn’t have any pickles available and served finely chopped red cabbage instead, not what I expected or paid for. I did not highlight this at the time because the pleasant staff more than made up for this disappointment.

Breakfast was excellent, emphasis on quality. Wide choice and beautifully served in a great location .

Absolutely nothing .

We had a beautiful 2night stay ... The venue was lovely beautiful grounds and they even have wild deer wandering freely on the grounds. The staff were amazing and very helpful from deciding which cocktails to choose and the attention to detail was definitely on point. We would highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely be revisiting in the near future.

Beautiful building in lovely grounds, very warm and comfortable, exceptional staff.

We were made feel welcome and like at home from the moment we stepped into the Ettington Park Hotel. We enjoyed a comfortable room, complimentary use of excellent spa facilities (swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room), delicious dinner and breakfast with excellent service and in beautiful environment, and a nice bar. Pleasant walk in the countryside around the hotel, where we saw a lot of deer. Overall, Ettington Park Hotel is a stunning property, managed by lovely, caring and professional people, from the reception staff, butler, waiter Alexandros, many thanks to all staff for our amazing stay.

We had a wonderful stay here. So much to recommend. The hotel is in a beautiful area. The breakfast choice was amazing and beautifully cooked. The staff really made the weekend. So friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing!

Location, gorgeous architecture and lovely grounds. The breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed dinner. Lovely Scottish lady served us. We enjoyed using the spa facilities.

The rooms are tired and outdated as is the general feel of the rest of the interior. We didn’t let that deter us from having a wonderful stay though. Expensive dinner and wine.

This is a stunning property with lovely ground. The pool is also stunning. Staff were very friendly.

We were in a room that was due for refurbishment so everything was a bit warn out

Lovely room, great location, very friendly staff. Outstanding breakfast

Ideal location in a historic building. Large grounds. Staff were the politest and attentive we have encountered.

Amazing historical property, beautiful grounds, fantastic grand room with a huge bathroom - we felt like royalty! We were at the Shakespeare suite.Then dinner was lovely in a very beautiful drawing room - just spectacular. The staff were extremely helpful, we enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back.

The breakfast was chaotic. Not sure what had happened (seemed like they were short of kitchen staff) but our order of just two simple breakfasts from the menu took 1.5hrs. Every single guest had a complaint about something with their breakfast - incorrect order, missing items, lateness etc. The floor staff were very apologetic though and we were allowed a very late check out as well as the breakfast bill was taken off. Maybe would be better to allocate breakfast times to people so they don't all turn up at the same time, especially when you are short on staff. (it was between Christmas and NY - so, understandably busy time) Better organisation for next time maybe.

Excellent location, rooms were spacious Comfy beds. Exxxxxcellent breakfast choicesRelaxing time in spa and pool

Everything was fine, just certain smell in corridor near room

Main thing was your staff. The most polite and amazing greeting. I can not explain the happiness and emotions just from your greeting so I thank you dearly for that… I won’t lie when entering I did feel uncomfortable like I wasn’t good enough for this place however you all made Us feel so welcome and not unwelcome
