Ettington Park Hotel  

Fabulous hotel with excellent staff and amenities. Our visit was to see 'Hill House' - the hotel was used as the outside location for the film The Haunting in 1963. It did not disappoint in any way. It is a little on the costly side but good things cost money, so I would recommend the hotel for anyone looking for a special treat like an anniversary etc. The nearby gastro pub in Alderminster, The Bell, is well worth a visit and an evening meal.

My wife and I stayed as guests at a wedding being held at the hotel. The ambience and setting were first class, as, indeed, were the wedding arrangements. Staff were friendly and most attentive and the food very good and the surrounding environment delightful.

I have marked the "value for money" section at 2. above, as "poor", because I consider the room service and bar prices are pitched at an unreasonably high level, even compared with major capital city centre charges, when overhead expenses are significantly higher than in rural Warwickshire. This element means that although, overall, our stay and experience were most enjoyable, it will only be a one-off. My recommendation would clearly contain a caveat about the high ancellary charges.

Superb staff without exception, from the reception staff to the restaurant/breakfast staff, all of them were helpful and professional..well done to all of them.....absolutely spot on.

Lovely country setting, relaxing, well decorated rooms and excellent hotel pool facilities. Friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Good value too.

The room we had was fantastic, very spacious and clean. Food was excellant and the setting was breadth taking. A truely beautiful hotel and I would definitely stay there again.

we were attending a friends wedding, unfortunately we couldnt check into our room until 3pm. The only critisism was lack of bar staff when guests started to arrive, also the bar prices are quite pricey.

We stayed at your hotel for the last night of our honeymoon, we really enjoyed the location and all facilities. The room was very nice and all staff we talked to friendly. The chef was very accomodating at breakfast and provided scrambled eggs without cream or milk as I can't eat those.

The location was excellent, set well off the road in quiet & peaceful countryside. We enjoyed some pleasant walks in the grounds. The church ruins just begged to be explored, quite amazing - church ruins in hotel grounds. Our room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and spacious. I must mention the Staff, so well presented, polite & helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. AND, impeccable attention to detail - they obviously enjoyed their work! We just liked everything about the place! THANK YOU.

Not necessarily a complaint but....road-side signage is very poor. I drove past the entrance twice, the first when we were trying to find the location for the first time, and the second, when returning to the hotel in the dark. Sat Nav doesn't help.

Use of Wi Fi once I could get it to work in the public area.

I didn't like the fact that I could not use my iPad in my room due to no WiFi in room 35.

1. There was real effort by all the hotel staff to use our names rather than just 'sir' and 'madam' which we appreciated. 2. The head waiter made sure that he understood my wife's dietary requirements clearly and ensured that she was content with what the chef provided. 3. I could have a real conversation with the head water regarding wine choices.

1. The waiters and waitresses could step a little more quietly in the dining room, one waiter particularly almost made the floor bounce.

the feel of the place. Genrally the way I was treated throughout.

Check in was at 3, but room not availble until 3.40. Not having the option to dine in the main dining and not being recommended anywhere else locally to eat.Although the staff were all very pleasant, with such a large chunk of them coming from other European countries their English was not easy to understand at times.

Great setting, wonderful park and gardens. Interesting architecture.

Somewhat old fashioned.

Although we only had a standard room, it was very comfortable and we were very lucky in so much as the room was in the old part of the building overlooking the beautiful park. All mod cons you can require, nice gesture with fresh fruit and some nice chocolates to enjoy with your tea in the room. Looked to have a very nice pool and spa but sadly didn't have enough time to enjoy that one ! Definitely to be recommended.

Maybe here and there there are little things such as frayed carpets and wall's that could do with a lick of paint, but overall still a wonderful place with lots of history to be had.

Guys come on bathrooms, no one likes to have a dirty bathroom. Very disappointed in the cleanliness particulary toilet.
