We were woken up by barking dogs in one of the rooms in the middle of the night - the staff were quick to sort the issue once we phoned reception, but the room was quite noisy. ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian Dec 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Visiting for Christmas We really enjoyed our week over Christmas. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have experienced in an hotel. The staff are really committed and it shows. Great amenities, excellent food and wine. One small area for improvement please have some good beer options in the bar. ##### Ian Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Apr 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Solid 4/5 Lovely hotel. We opted for the Sutton Suite which was large and well laid out. Service is super friendly, but not always as helpful as it could be. Both 1772 and Yû are reasonably good and sensibly priced. Don’t bother to get breakfast included. It’s good but buy it when there. Included options are limited. Spa is great. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E4CC20EA82779E5ED1140F5F069B6F6196D43661714328596522.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A18EED967BCEA8F0AA314C88DAF4812189E9149C1714328597228.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/45E9C40374DEA2AC08C40A084A0D05B85A6F33651714328597291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A nice hotel but not the best We had a lovely stay but I felt that the hotel lacked a little considering the price. Some of the corridors where the rooms were located felt quite dated/dingy. The pantry for snacks was quite disappointing - consisting of boiled sweets, ready salted crisps and popcorn (which had run out by 7pm). Spa facilities were great however the steam sauna was broken during our visit. The restaurant/bar was nicely decorated but was a bit of a ghost town on a Sunday evening. We sat outside and asked for blankets but it would be a nice touch if they were already laid out with heaters to enjoy the view on colder days. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sogole May 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Perfect English Countryside Gateway Our experience at retreat Elcot Park has been excellent. The service standards are comparable to a 5 stars hotel and each and every member of the staff is adequately trained, polite, pleasant and efficient. The hotel proposes a wide range of activities, often with complementary services. Hike, tours, tennis court, spa. No overcharge to borrow the tennis rackets or to borrow boots to do a beautiful hike in the area and even complementary snacks ! Both restaurants were delicious and the 1775 brasserie clearly deserves a Michelin’s recommandation. My compliments to the chef and his/her team. Note that without a car, you are pretty much required to eat all meals at the hotel which may end up pricy (but tasty). The spa is new and in a good state. Add an outside jacuzzi to make it perfect. We will be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F2E14248A82F6DB3AF83D45A5486DC4F025E04F01715004372183.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sogole Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony Jan 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stayed but didn’t live up to my expectations I was really looking forward to our stay at The Retreat, as it had just picked up some impressive award for the best hotel in Britain or similar. The greeting from the reception team on arrival was excellent, we were seated on nice sofas and given a glass of wine. Then we were shown to our room which was a nice size but a little limited in furniture, but ok. There are pantries near the rooms where you can help yourself to drinks and snacks etc which is a really nice touch. We booked dinner in the hotel, there was a big party in that night as well so the service was terribly slow and the food ok, but not too special. In the morning we used the outdoor swimming pool and spa facilities, I had a facial as well which was all nice, I especially liked the pool. There was the odd touch missing ie no slippers in the rooms to go to the spa with. Breakfast was continental and if you wanted anything else it was an extra charge which was a bit strange, but actually ok and there was plenty of choice. In summary we had a nice time, some bits were really good, but it didn’t live up to what I was expecting have read about the hotel. ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stuart Jun 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service After spending 30 mins waiting to be given the room key as they were having issues with the Expedia booking I finally got to my room, as soon as I walked in I heard the industrial extractor fan which was installed just outside the bedroom window on the flat roof over the kitchen, the noise was the same as being in an aeroplane , I went down to reception to say that I wouldn’t be able to accept this room due to the noise of this kitchen extractor fan to be told that the fan would be switched off at 11pm and normally they charge a lot more for rooms hence the reason why my room was so cheap (all I did was book through Expedia, there was no mention that the reason my room was £120 per night was due to an industrial extractor fan just outside the bedroom window) the reception spoke to her manager and came back and offered another room for an extra £20 which I declined, the good news is that the constant noise of this industrial extractor fan did stop at 11pm but started up again at 6am, the room was hot and you couldn’t open the windows as the latches had been painted over so many times but if you could open the windows to let some fresh air in then the noise would be the same as standing next to an aeroplane on takeoff, hotel is nice but the rooms near this extractor fan should not be offered at all and to say there is a reason the rooms are so cheap due to this is not acceptable, I would not recommend this hotel due to my experience with the time taken to check in and the fans ##### Stuart ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashish Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely and remote-feeling property.

Outdoor pool is really lovely and good number of sunloungers to enjoy the sun. Spa was incredible, I don’t use them often but the massage was sensational. Breakfast kept running out of food and dinner seems a touch overpriced. Restaurant staff do their best and are lovely but are essentially untrained sixth formers. Nice place but wouldn’t rush back. ##### Toby Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property, the spa is a wonderful place to relax.
