The Ramada Newbury Elcot Park Hotel in Newbury offers a luxurious setting for the perfect vacation with its tastefully furnished 18th century Georgian building, 16 acres of private grounds and number of leisure options such as swimming or tennis. This former home of Shelley's family creates a wonderful world within its enclosures and is the ideal spot for a romantic wedding and an interesting venue for more mundane matters such as conferences and meetings.

The Orangery restaurant is opulent and offers some splendid views of the garden while the neutral tones of the décor is conducive for a soothing atmosphere. From the international menu, you could start with a dish of melon and black forest ham with raspberry dressing, followed by a main course of honey roasted duck breast and caramelised plum served with red cabbage. Finish the meal with a baked vanilla cheesecake with spiced cherry compote. The wine list traverses across Australia to Italy, bringing an inspiring selection of fine wines.
