Not a five star and sadly wouldn’t want to recommend
We were really excited about this stay but sadly we found the hotel rather tired. I appreciate this is an old building but when you are charging £360 for a room I would expect better standard. We have stayed in two other five star hotels this month which are old buildings but had impeccable standards. The room smelt musty, and had signs of poor cleaning such as long cobwebs and mould in the bathroom, toilet seat was wonky and the floorboards were so creaky you couldn’t walk around without very loud noise. What’s the problem with that? Travelling with two children who are light sleepers and I’m sure then you’d understand. Small touches like very cheap break for toast, milk in a jug in the room and half used toiletries felt cheap. This is all fine if the price tag matches! The staff were friendly but failed to mention what time breakfast was or where is was. The room was not very user friendly in that the shower was in the bath which has a glass shower screen and then you had to duck (if you’re taller than 5 foot five!) all while trying not to slip on the bath! Appreciate they had a non slip mat in there to use but I dont like to use these as they are somewhat dubious in terms of cleanliness and do they actually prevent you slipping or just another thing to be careful of. The food was just average and that’s how the whole visit was for us. Not the five star super impressive place I’d hoped for.

Disappointing lunch experience…check with hotel directly; don't book online
Being my birthday and our Wedding Anniversary, we wanted to find the right hotel for a special lunch. We viewed the hotel online and seeing The Great Drawing Room and perusing the menu, we thought it fitted the bill, so booked online. All dressed up and looking forward to our special day we arrived, only to be directed to the lounge where the lady asked if we were here for afternoon tea or lunch which surprised us as we had booked for lunch already. The room was simply a lounge area with low tables and we were immediately taken aback when handed lounge menus. We explained we had booked the restaurant online and after a short time shown to a window table with only one other table with covers and once again handed the lounge menu. We were told À la Carte was only available in the evenings. This is NOT made clear when booking online. We left and went back to our known and trusted Nuthurst Grange in Hockley Heath and had the experience we had hoped for.

Great venue
Met expectations across the board, really. A quality venue which won’t disappoint. However I didn’t give it 5 stars for the following reasons: Staff were superb across the board but they were understaffed both in the evening in the restaurant and especially at breakfast. Consequences were large delays in getting our food or even occasionally a missed serving for one of our group. They did their very best but were swamped. Management needs to take note. Secondly - the spa was fine in all respects except the glass roof over the pool was showing signs of neglect. Plaster was breaking away from the wall/ ceiling joints and black overgrowth was covering large parts of the glass. It looks as if it hasn’t been maintained for years with respect to clearing the gutters and fallen debris from trees.

Afternoon Tea
What a beautiful place Ettington Park Hotel and I thought what a delicious Afternoon Tea my friends and I are going to have. The savoury plate was very nice, delicious sandwiches and warm quiche and home made sausage roll. BUT then the Cakes/desserts .. well how disappointing.. because theCrème Brûlée was sooo bad, it came in a tiny dish .. no bigger then an egg cup.. and well there was no more the 1/2 a centimetre of crème.. the scones were the size of a 50 pence piece .. 2 very tiny fancy eclairs..I have tasted a lot of afternoon teas.. but today Ettington Park Hotel was very disappointing

Country house relaxation
We stayed for a weekend in the Stour Suite and fully recommend it, if you don’t mind stairs. Spacious, beautiful views, comfortable bed, quiet and packed with all sorts of complimentary treats, including a Nespresso machine. Staff without exception were welcoming and helpful, while dinner in the restaurant was excellent, with a good selection of wines. The spa was just what we needed to unwind, with clean pool, sauna, steam room & decent sized hot tub. Not too busy either, so we enjoyed it on both days. Imagine the grounds are even better in the Summer, but we revelled in the coziness of open fires & comfy chairs. Definitely go if you’re looking for a relaxed and friendly country house experience, with high quality food and drink but no pretension.
