Pros:

Absolutely everything. The hotel is beautiful, the grounds superb and the staff wonderful. Staff are friendly, courteous, professional and happy. The place has a lovely feel and the food is great with a superb selection of wine. We had a lovely few days and I would 110% recommend this hotel. The beds are amazing and being a bit techy... my garmin gave me an excellent sleep rating which I have never had!!

Cons:

Nothing - it was great and dont have anything negative

Stunning architecture, a peaceful stay with quality staff, food and service.
Pros:

Beautiful setting amazing architecture. Room was comfortable quite a good size clean and had a good fridge with a proper fresh milk supply. Beds were super comfy and linen was lovely. Breakfast room was beautiful and staff were efficient. Beautiful paintings on the walls and lovely views of the grounds. Room service was very quick and the food was excellent and high quality. We ordered a shared platter that could have fed4 rather than two. The veg were very fresh and everything was delicious.

Cons:

Bit disappointed room was not in main part of hotel but outside across a little yard in I think some kind of old stable block /annexe or something like but only a short walk.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful old building but needs updating.
Pros:

The building's exterior and grounds are beautiful, the approach up a tree lined drive is wonderful.

Cons:

We telephoned ahead to enquire about spa treatments and were told to book later. When we arrived we were told that no spa staff were on duty and that spa treatments would not be available hence we were disappointed. The interior of the hotel is looking rather tired. There was no complementary water in the room.

Disappointed. No value for money.
Cons:

Room wasn’t serviced until 6pm despite us being out for a large chunk of the day. Every time we wanted something we had to hunt a staff member down to get it. We were sat at the table for dinner for more than half an hour before being served a drink. Other than Alex, staff were not helpful and had a remarkable habit of disappearing. When we politely mentioned that things weren’t going very well they did not appear to care. Horrible smell of drains outside our room. We paid for a room “with a feature” the feature appeared to be the glass recycling bin outside the window that was filled quite early each morning.

50th anniversary stay at Ettington Park
Pros:

Beautiful building which has retained its country house character. The service was excellent throughout our stay. I have limited mobility, and the staff looked after us wonderfully. The grounds are stunning with beautiful trees and even a herd of deer. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

The beds were a bit hard for our liking., and we found the pillows a bit hard and lumpy.
House of keeping left a bit to be desired.
Crumbs were on the floor of the breakfast room for the duration of our 4 day stay. Also the sink taps in the room need a bit of a spruce up and a ring of scum around the sink drain.

A romantic stay in beautiful surroundings near Stratford-upon-Avon
Pros:

A beautiful luxurious historic hotel with friendly staff

Cons:

The breakfast seemed to take a long time one morning, which seemed to be due to a lack of staff, although to be fair, staff from elsewhere were drafted in to lend a hand.
