You can't miss Ettington Park with its cluster of ancient turrets and towers pointing skywards. The manor - and its 40 acres of grounds - has been in the Shirley family since Domesday, and there's a twelfth-century chapel to reinforce the sense of antiquity. That said, the building is essentially a full-blooded, exuberantly decorated Victorian Gothic pile with flamboyant plasterwork, antiques, heraldic devices and friezes in abundance.
Dinner is served in the Oak Room, a grand panelled restaurant done out in the baronial style with a fabulous eighteenth-century rococo ceiling and family crests.
