Ettington Park Hotel, part of the award-winning Hand Picked Hotels collection, now features as one of the pink squares in a brand new version of the iconic Monopoly board game based upon Stratford-upon-Avon. Nicknamed Monopoly ‘Bard’, the edition has been released in celebration of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death.
The board game, which features the very best of Stratford-upon-Avon, is available for purchase at the hotel itself, giving visitors the chance to delve into the world of the game whilst staying at one of its landmarks. In celebration of its release, Ettington Park Hotel is also offering up to 15% off two-night stays with its Two-Night Classic Break offer.
The hotel is easily reached by rail and road from London via the M40 and other motorway links, and with this fantastic offer, those looking for a short country escape have the perfect excuse to visit this beautiful mansion and the fascinating local area.
Classic Breaks in Stratford-upon-Avon
Less than a 15-minute drive from the historic town centre, Ettington Park Hotel is considered one of the cultural gems of Stratford-upon-Avon. The Neo-Gothic mansion is built in Cotswold stone and its stunning architecture is complemented by fine paintings, friezes and tapestries inside, the perfect backdrop for a romantic break. The Oak Room, a 2 AA Rosette restaurant in the old dining room of the country house, equally offers an ambience of grandeur. As the weather turns colder, guests can enjoy playing Monopoly ‘Bard’ with a coffee or warming digestif in The Great Drawing Room. Those enjoying a short break in the area will also find plenty of inspiration on the board to help them decide which places to visit during their stay. Attractions featured on other squares include Tudor World, Stratford Butterfly Farm and The RSC, with the highest value blue squares, occupied by Park Lane and Mayfair in the standard UK edition of the game, devoted to Anne Hathaway’s House and Shakespeare’s Birthplace respectively.
