ETTINGTON PARK HOTEL
Sleep To The Manor Born

Visiting the Cotswolds or the Shakespeare birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon (see the THE STRATFORD MAN - Literature's Greatest Mystery) or just wandering the many great sights and beauties of the English countryside of Warwickshire and want to truly feel like a manor born “M’Lud” and stay in a historic castle-manor hotel? Become one of the family at Ettington Park. This 18th Century neo-Gothic manor house turned into a luxurious hotel, set in 40 private acres of rolling countryside dotted with ancient oaks has been in the Shirley family since the Norman Conquest. The imposing façade with its arched windows of parti-colored stone look out on a 12th century church built on the site of an even earlier one mentioned by the family ancestors in the “doomsday book”. The property has 48 bedrooms, including eleven suites, two with four poster beds. Eat sumptuously under the rococco ceiling in the Oak Room restaurant embossed with the family crest. Relax in the paneled 19th century furnished private library reading room with its secret passage door hidden in the bookcases. Have a drink in the outside garden and watch the golden sun set over the landscape and imaging yourself lord of your own manor. Then go for a spa treatment with your own personal care treatment. But remember, noblesse oblige, and treat the servants kindly. Tip well.

Ettington Park Hotel is about 45 minutes from that other famous family owned manor and historic landmark BLENHEIM PALACE (birthplace of Winston Churchill), 30 minutes from WARWICK CASTLE and 15 minutes from Stratford and can be reached by car off the M40 south of Stratford-Upon-Avon on Shipston Road (A3400). By rail, Stratford-Upon-Avon rail station is 6 miles from the hotel. By air, Birmingham Airport is 25 miles away (a stop for Ryanair) and Heathrow about two hours by car.© Bargain Travel Europe
