2-night mid-week stay
Booking was simple and made directly with Hand Picked Hotels over the telephone, with a specific request for their ‘Stour Suite’ featured room, including Breakfast. No payment required upon booking - card details are used to guarantee your booking and the reservation can be amended or cancelled before 12 noon the day prior to arrival. The Hotel itself was fairly easy to find, about 6 miles outside Stratford on Avon (roughly £20 by taxi one way), has plenty of free parking and is set within 40 odd acres of scenic wooded valley with the River Stour winding through. The exterior of this splendid neo-gothic country house, built from six Cotswold stone types, looks to be straight from a fairytale, with its mish-mash of round turrets, square towers, balustrade balconies and carriage porch, plus the romantic church ruins in the grounds. The exterior centuries-old heritage, is further reflected inside with its fine paintings and friezes and is noted for its "ghostly" charm. Check in was friendly and comprehensive and we were familiarised to the various aspects available to guests, such as the bar, restaurant, etc. on the way to the room. Service throughout our stay was excellent, knowledgeable and staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was located on the 1st floor, a lift is available, but those with limited mobility may wish assistance with accessibility requirements. The room itself was spacious, clean, beautifully furnished, had a super king bed, an original fireplace and overlooked the River Sour valley and hotel grounds, whilst the adjoining bathroom was complete with free standing bath, large shower, sink and toilet. Normal facilities are available (tea, coffee, milk, bottled water, etc) along with free mini fridge and other contents. There is free (sign-in) Wi-Fi available throughout the hotel that operated well during our stay. The downstairs bar area, just off the reception, was a place to order drinks rather than stay, but the quest lounge area (the Oak Room) was comfortably stylish and relaxed, where you could get a more informal dining experience, available throughout the day. The bar itself offered a small, but comprehensive, list of wines, a selection of spirits and some classic cocktails for the more adventurous. We made early morning use of the indoor swimming pool (not overly large or deep), spa pool, sauna and steam room, however, again for those with limited mobility, you may require assistance to access due to the stairs involved. Breakfast was taken in the on the ground floor restaurant and included pastries, fruit compotes, yogurts, fresh fruit & juices, etc along with a good variety of cooked to order options (which were excellently presented; congratulations to the chef). The Hotel room prices are within today’s middle to high range of what we would have expected and were considered good value for money. All in all, an enjoyable getaway and one I would recommend to others.

Historic Hotel with great Spa and friendly staff.
We visited on a two night mid week Autumn break. We chose this hotel because of the Spa, but the grounds, location, food quality and friendly staff made this a most enjoyable stay. The Spa is very clean and modern and we were lucky to have this pretty much to ourselves. They limit the number of users so it does not become overcrowded. The Sauna and Steam room were a good temperature as was the pool and the hot tub. It looks as though this is a relatively new addition and is clean and modern. The food in the restaurant is very good with sensible portions. The breakfast is first class with a good selection of continental buffet and we had eggs benedict both mornings simply because it was so good. The staff go out of their way to engage and ensure you have a good stay, All extremely friendly and welcoming. Location is great for visiting nearby Cotswold towns and of course it is close by to Stratford upon Avon. We would be very happy to return and can highly recommend this hotel.

Ettington Park - Wonderful
Excellent customer service, really friendly. Damon, J and Erin were wonderful. We stayed in the Shakespeare Featured Room. It was beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous and seeing a family of deer literally outside our room first thing in the morning was lovely.

Wonderful Hotel
We stayed for 2 nights, as part of the celebration for my father in laws 80th birthday. The staff were fantastic and made the stay especially memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel at home. A warm welcome, a handshake with introductions and guided around the hotel. The hotel is striking and approached via a long wooded driveway, with parking immediately adjacent to the hotel. Reception opens into the hotel and the impressive staircase. Some areas of the hotel, notably the carpets, are showing signs of wear but overall the decor and surroundings are charming. We made full use of all the facilities and especially the dining facilities. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff so friendly (thank you J). The breakfast is exceptional. High tea is delightful, dinner was wonderuflly flavoursome and all were plentiful. If you like great food you're in the right place. The rooms are spacious, quiet and well appointed. The beds are large and comfortable. The grounds are well maintained and (weather permitting) the pathways give an opportunity to explore beyond the hotel. The Spa area has an excellent (warm) pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Easy access from the hotel, with good accessibility for older, less mobile, guests. A wonderful stay in a delightful hotel with truly exceptional staff. Highly recommended.
