Set in the green Stour Valley, Ettington Park is a country house like no other – a place full of historic extravagance. Built from six different types of Cotswold stone, it remains a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. But the house’s attraction runs far deeper than bricks and mortar. This is a place where the little touches are just as important as the grand surroundings, where you soon feel like a family guest and where ‘me-time’ takes on new meaning.
With the River Stour weaving its way through the estate, Ettington Park is a spectacular neo-Gothic mansion situated six miles from Stratford-upon-Avon in the picturesque Stour Valley.
The Shirleys, one of Warwickshire’s oldest families, owned Ettington for many years. Their lineage can be traced back over a thousand years. There is also archaeological evidence that there has been human habitation in the area for at least 2,000 years. It is very much possible that a Roman villa once existed on the site of the Ettington Park Hotel, which since that time has undergone many transitions.
When the old manor house was demolished, it was replaced with a newer and smaller house which was rebuilt from salvaged materials. In 1935, the mansion became a nursing home and was used as a camp for prisoners of war during World War II; for a brief period it was also a club. A fire in 1979 did a lot of damage to the building and it was locked up for three years and deteriorated badly.
