“The Retreat at Elcot Park stands out for its beautiful location in Berkshire, providing a peaceful escape, especially welcoming to families and their pets. While the historic Georgian manor offers unique charm, I think some aspects, like the dining experience, could be elevated to fully match the setting's potential. However, the year-round heated outdoor pool and spa are definite highlights, promising relaxation amidst the scenic Kennet Valley.”
