Loved by The Retreat, Elcot Park Hotel guests
"We used the outdoor pool which was well heated - swimming outside in January was a great head clearing experience."
"The Hotel has the Soho Farmhouse feel of an exclusive members club and yet you feel like you are staying with friends."
"We really appreciated the small touches like the citrus water next to the pool, the welcome drink, our bags being carried to our room."

“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.”
