Ettington Park Hotel - Reputed to be the most haunted hotel in England
Written by John Richard Hodges
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, have owned Ettington for nearly 1000 years. There is also archaeological evidence that there has been human habitation in the area for at least 2,000 years.
It is highly possible that a Roman farmstead once existed on the site of the Ettington Park mansion.
Today the building is a first class hotel run by ‘Hand picked Hotels’ and has been described by the Automobile Association to be ‘the most haunted hotel in the UK’ – with 12 ghosts!
