We had a fabulous couple of days at the hotelatw well, rested well. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, our dog was delighted to sleep in her own 5star bed and get yummy treats, we were impressed by everything from the location, service and the facilities to the atmosphere and particular the history of the place itself. Many thanks to all!

Been to Ettington Park today for a beautiful walk with our dog. After we sat in the garden area for a coffee and to admire the view. We were served by a wonderful, well mannered, exceptional service provider. His name was Arthur and I can honestly say even only having a coffee he was fabulous! This hotel is highly recommended. Wonderful staff, food and service. Thank you

We chose Ettington Park as our wedding venue after completely falling in love with it and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding coordinator Chloe was amazing, she communicated with us for months and answered any questions we had, nothing was too much trouble for her. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful and ran around decorating outside and inside exactly how I wanted. Sam & Lilly made sure our day ran smoothly and again were such huge helps. We couldn't have asked for more. Our wedding day was the best day ever, our guests loved the venue and said how lovely the staff were. Our wedding breakfast was lovely and the chefs accommodated for our preferences and one of the bartenders decorated the glasses for our reception drinks which was such a lovely touch! Thank you so much to all of the staff at EPH for making our wedding day the best. We are looking forward to revisiting to celebrate our anniversary! X

We got married here in autumn 2025 and everything from the venue viewing, to planning, through to our actual wedding day was incredible. The staff are so polite, well informed and service is at the heart of everything here. We had the best day, all our guests say it was the best wedding and everyone loved staying at the hotel. I'm sure we'll be back for anniversary parties! Far too many amazing people to mention, but these folks absolutely went above and beyond their roles and duties to give us an unforgettable ceremony and reception: Sam Olivia Ricardo Ellie Rory Ollie Tracey Lewis We can't wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary. Photo isn't our wedding day, but one of our viewings and tasting sessions.

This is a late review as we stayed in May, but I found a note I'd made in my phone to post. My husband and I stayed for a lovely weekend for our wedding anniversary. Generally the hotel and gardens are absolutely beautiful. The place is historic and one member of staff took a lot of time to give me a tour and tell me about the history, priest holes, etc. I particularly loved the huge cedar tree. However there were a few things that could easily have been improved, like the long wait to check out, clearing the breakfast plates rather than leaving each course on the table, and removing the thick cobwebs in the stone window arches just outside the bedroom windows. Still, it's cool to have arches.

Restaurant staff excellent and we tipped accordingly. Our bill had an additional service charge which I asked to be removed. I asked for the receipt but was told it would be emailed to me. 11 days later I have received no receipt so I have no idea if they took the service charge off. Very unsatisfactory ending to a lovely night's stay at £200 plus
