Set in 40 acres, this stunning country house hotel is the perfect base for exploring Stratford-upon-Avon, or for the wedding of dreams.

Neo-Gothic mansion Ettington Park is built from Cotswold stone with views over the valley, complete with winding river. There’s 47 individually-styled rooms from suites to interconnecting family rooms, and feature rooms with four-poster beds and marble-finished bathrooms (yes please!). Can’t bear to live your pooch at home? There’s designated dog-friendly rooms too.

Foodies, you’re going to want to check out 2AA Rosette restaurant, The Great Drawing Room, serving up regional and seasonal dishes, or if you’re looking to while away a few hours then the afternoon tea is a treat too. Feeling a bit extra? There’s rooms for private dining and parties.

Recharge and unwind in the onsite spa, complete with indoor swimming and spa pool, sauna and steam room. For a bit more of a pamper book in for a treatment with top spa brands like Comfort Zone and Jessica Nails – go on, you deserve it!

If you’re looking for somewhere to hold your big day then this place is pretty much the fairytale wedding venue of dreams. Think impressive turrets, ornate chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views. For an outdoor ceremony there’s the Norman Church and Orangery, and a private bar and courtyard too. Fancy a stress-free wedding? Let the team organise it, while you enjoy your big day and a glass of fizz (or two!)
