We had probably the worst bedroom with no views over the garden, but immediately over noisy bin storage. Shower over bath with no safety handles. Dangerous.

Lovely outdoor pool
Lovely outdoor pool and spa with friendly staff and good food! We were woken up by barking dogs in one of the rooms in the middle of the night - the staff were quick to sort the issue once we phoned reception, but the room was quite noisy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The building and grounds are beautiful. Staff are amazing and amazing 5 star touches such as a drink on arrival, freshly made biscuits in the room. They also gave us a complimentary drink in our room due to it being our anniversary. What lets this place down slightly is the room. Whilst it was still very nice it was on the small side and the shower is the main thing which is not good enough. It’s an old shower head which looks like something you would get in a travel lodge and water pressure was terrible. They should upgrade to rainfall shower heads to match the quality of the rest of the hotel. Dinner was exceptional. Amazing cocktails and food was spot on.

Much needed relaxing break in the countryside. Long walks and hot pools and spa access was incredible. I loved the atmosphere and the welcoming feeling. Service / staff were so lovely and helpful. I cannot wait to return and I would recommend this hotel to everyone!

The Perfect English Countryside Gateway
Our experience at retreat Elcot Park has been excellent. The service standards are comparable to a 5 stars hotel and each and every member of the staff is adequately trained, polite, pleasant and efficient. The hotel proposes a wide range of activities, often with complementary services. Hike, tours, tennis court, spa. No overcharge to borrow the tennis rackets or to borrow boots to do a beautiful hike in the area and even complementary snacks ! Both restaurants were delicious and the 1775 brasserie clearly deserves a Michelin’s recommandation. My compliments to the chef and his/her team. Note that without a car, you are pretty much required to eat all meals at the hotel which may end up pricy (but tasty). The spa is new and in a good state. Add an outside jacuzzi to make it perfect. We will be back!

Solid 4/5
Lovely hotel. We opted for the Sutton Suite which was large and well laid out. Service is super friendly, but not always as helpful as it could be. Both 1772 and Yû are reasonably good and sensibly priced. Don’t bother to get breakfast included. It’s good but buy it when there. Included options are limited. Spa is great.

A nice hotel but not the best
We had a lovely stay but I felt that the hotel lacked a little considering the price. Some of the corridors where the rooms were located felt quite dated/dingy. The pantry for snacks was quite disappointing - consisting of boiled sweets, ready salted crisps and popcorn (which had run out by 7pm). Spa facilities were great however the steam sauna was broken during our visit. The restaurant/bar was nicely decorated but was a bit of a ghost town on a Sunday evening. We sat outside and asked for blankets but it would be a nice touch if they were already laid out with heaters to enjoy the view on colder days.
