I stayed here for a work conference and was pleasantly surprised. Large spacious hotel with decent sized comfy bedrooms and good quality food.

Whilst predominately a conference hotel , if you are looking for somewhere clean, modern and reasonably priced (and aren't put off by the fact that 90% of the other guests are here under duress and may be propping up the bar till the wee hours!) I'd certainly recommend it. It's located about 4 miles out Stratford upon Avon in the quiet village of Ettington - great location for exploring Warwickshire.

I agree with previous posters that Ettington Chase offers good value for a weekend B&B if you have a car or want a quiet break. The brochure in the room give a rate of about 35 pounds per person and for that you get a decent breakfast, a good pool, a tennis court, plenty of parking space and a quiet country location. There is a large modern bar and 2 pubs about 500 metres away in the village. Some of the rooms are large, of course they may not all be. The venue is very much geared to conferences and weddings but the weekend rate looks good value. I would say that the dinner at the weekend would depend on what other events were going on, but its only 3 miles out of Stratford.

We stayed here at the week-end and had a fantastic time, the room was comfortable and more than adequate for our needs the snow pillows and mattress toppers they have on the beds are fantastic and we intend to go back and purchase some as we forgot when we checked out. On saturday night we joined in the 70's Christmas Party night and had a truly brilliant evening the dance floor was packed all night and the staff were always on hand to assist with any requests. The two ladies at Reception on Sunday morning were delightful, polite, and could not of been more accommodation. We will be back very soon.

We've just returned from a lovely relaxing weekend at Ettington Chase. Yes it obviously is a Conference Centre during the week but thats a bonus as the facilities are fantastic. The setting is beautiful and the new building doesn't look out of place like some. The staff were extremely friendly and even informed us when we had left our car window open! The swimming pool and spa area rivals that of some hotels double the price and even though there was a Xmas party there at the same time as us, there was only five people in the pool, so plenty of space and relaxation. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean - didn't do the white glove test but near enough! LCD TV, very comfy beds and posh smellies in bathroom in standard rooms.
Breakfast was excellent , well cooked and plentiful but was'nt very keen on sitting with strangers but then again you have to remember what it is. In fact its very easy to think you are in 5 star hotel land when we only paid 2 star price. Would definitely stop here again.
Only one moan - the showers! The words hurricane and typhoon spring to mind!! Just hang on for dear life!!
