Ettington Park, set in 40 acres of Warwickshire countryside nestled in a valley with the River Stour. Part of the Hand Picked Hotels collection.
(2219)

The only AA 4 Red Star hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, Ettington Park is renowned as one of the finest hotels in Warwickshire. Throughout the centuries, guests have been captivated by the grandeur of its Neo-Gothic mansion and charmed by warm hospitality synonymous with uncompromising luxury.

A walk through the grounds at Ettington Park reveals one of the estate's most fascinating historic features.

The surviving tower belongs to the former parish church, once at the heart of the original village of Lower Ettington. When the village was relocated during the late 18th century, much of the church was eventually dismantled, leaving the tower and part of the building standing.

The remaining structure was later adapted for use as a mortuary chapel for the Shirley family, whose connection to the estate stretches back more than a thousand years.

Today, the tower stands among the gardens and mature trees, offering guests a glimpse into the history that extends far beyond the walls of the hotel.

Behind the stained-glass windows of Ettington Park's 19th-century Chapel is a rather special place to gather.

One of the house's most distinctive spaces, the Chapel retains beautiful coloured glass and historic architectural details that make it quite unlike anywhere else in the hotel. The windows are particularly striking, filling the room with colour and providing a wonderful setting for an intimate occasion.

Today, the Chapel can be enjoyed for private dining, offering a memorable place to bring family and friends together for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations.

Sometimes, it is the finishing touches that make a dish particularly memorable.

At Ettington Park's 2 AA Rosette restaurant, The Great Drawing Room, our chefs take pride in bringing seasonal British ingredients to the table, with care given to every element of the plate.

A perfectly seared steak, golden potatoes, tenderstem broccoli and a generous pouring of rich jus offer a glimpse of the thoughtful cooking enjoyed here, where traditional flavours are given a considered, contemporary touch.

Whether you are joining us for dinner during your stay or visiting for an evening out, we look forward to welcoming you.

The Library at Ettington Park has welcomed visitors for centuries, although it has not always been a place for books.

Originally created as the house's entrance hall in 1740, the room was transformed into a Library during the 1820s, introducing the beautiful Gothic architectural details that remain today.

The intricately detailed bookcases and decorative ceiling offer further glimpses into the craftsmanship of the period.

Today, with shelves of old books, warm lamplight and inviting surroundings, it is a lovely place to settle in and enjoy a quiet autumn afternoon.

There is much more to Ettington Park than its remarkable country house, and some of our favourite details are tucked away in the gardens.

Within the Victorian gardens stands the historic Orangery, its intricately carved stone arches a beautiful reminder of the estate's architectural heritage. A little further into the grounds, the remains of the medieval chapel tell an even older story, with parts of the building dating back to the 13th century.

These are the corners of Ettington Park worth seeking out during your stay. With 40 acres of parkland, mature trees and the River Stour running through the estate, there's plenty of room to wander before finding somewhere peaceful to sit with a coffee.

Whether you're staying for a few nights or visiting for a leisurely afternoon, we hope you'll find time to enjoy the grounds as much as the house itself.

Afternoons at Ettington Park are best enjoyed with a pot of tea and something sweet.

There is something particularly lovely about afternoon tea in The Great Drawing Room, where the historic surroundings of our Neo-Gothic country house meet views across 40 acres of Warwickshire parkland, the River Stour and our beautiful chapel.

Our traditional afternoon tea is served in two courses, beginning with a selection of handmade savouries before moving on to delicate cakes, pastries and freshly baked scones with Cornish clotted cream and house-made raspberry jam. Choose from our selection of loose-leaf teas, or add a glass of Ch*****ne if you're celebrating something special.

It's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon together, whether you're visiting for a special occasion, catching up with friends or enjoying a little time away from the everyday.

Afternoon tea is served daily from 12.30pm to 3.30pm.

A little taste of Tuscany, served in the heart of Warwickshire.

There is a wonderful story behind some of the w**es served at The Great Drawing Room. Villa Saletta, the Hand's family estate in the Tuscan hills, has a w**emaking heritage stretching back centuries. Today, its w**es form part of our carefully selected collection at Ettington Park.

In our 2 AA Rosette restaurant, the kitchen celebrates seasonal British ingredients through dishes such as goat's cheese mousse with beetroot, apple and house honey, alongside West Country beef fillet with tenderstem broccoli, potato purée and a rich red w**e jus.

The setting is just as special, with the Great Drawing Room's ornate ceiling, historic paintings and tall sash windows overlooking our Warwickshire grounds.

Whether it's a celebratory dinner or a leisurely evening during your stay, we look forward to welcoming you.

Almost a thousand years of history, and still so much to discover.

Surrounded by 40 acres of Warwickshire countryside, Ettington Park has a story that stretches back to the Domesday Book and the Shirley family, whose generations helped shape the remarkable house and grounds we know today.

Much of the mansion's Neo-Gothic character dates to its 19th-century transformation, when architect John Prichard introduced the pointed turrets, elaborate stonework and tall chimneys that distinguish the building today. Look closely at the exterior and you'll find carved panels depicting moments from the Shirley family's history.

Beyond the house, mature woodland, gardens and the River Stour offer plenty of opportunities to explore, making Ettington Park as much about its setting as its extraordinary architecture.
