Ettington Park Hotel

Ettington Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was super clean and we stayed in a family room where we had two separate floors so our son slept downstairs on the sofa bed and we had a bedroom upstairs where the bathroom was as well. The main room that our son was in was very spacious although the view wasnโ€™t brilliant as we were looking out onto the car park but thatโ€™s full of trees so that didnโ€™t really matter. The great thing was that our room was just above where the spa and pool was so it was really easy to get there, which was fantastic. The bedroom itself was quite small, but that didnโ€™t really matter and it was right opposite the bathroom which was very useful. I would say that for the money the room couldโ€™ve been kept a little bit better. For example, one of the blinds had a bit missing so it let the lighting. Also there were two TVs one in the main room and one in the bedroom which was fantastic, but it wouldโ€™ve been good if they were smart TVs. Some of the furniture was a little bit scratched as well so I wouldnโ€™t say that the state of the room was excellent but the cleanliness was. The staff were absolutely amazing and really we couldnโ€™t have asked for them to be any more friendly than they were. The spa was lovely not massive but good enough for us. The pool was a nice size. I wouldnโ€™t say very big. There was a steam room and a sauna room which were very good. The hot tub was probably the best thing as Iโ€™ve never been in one that is quite as powerful! All in all we really enjoyed our stay!"
