Royal Ascot Racecourse

Myself and my partner stayed at Stirrups Country House Hotel last year during ascot week. The reason we chose to stay in Stirrups Country House Hotel was because it was very close to the Ascot racecourse and the hotel was more personal and to a higher standard that your usual chain hotel.

Once we arrived we were greeted by really friendly staff that explained to us everything about the hotel and also showed us to our room. We had quite a few luggage but the front of house team willingly helped us with our bags which was a very nice surprise. We stayed in total for 3 nights. The breakfast every morning was delicious and freshly cooked. Even if the hotel seemed to be fully booked the reception always managed to book us a taxi which arrived promptly even if we usually booked it at a short notice. The taxi journey was around 20 minutes to ascot racecourse which wasn’t too bad. We really enjoyed the location of the hotel as it was set in a beautiful countryside and myself and my partner enjoyed having meals outside in the evenings.

We also really enjoyed our little walks in the manicured gardens of the hotel and one very cute feature was the little pond with the different types of fishes. I would definitely recommend to come and stay at Stirrups if you want a pleasurable stay and something different than your usual hotel. The staff were really friendly and the room we stayed was of a high standard. Also the hotel accommodation was reasonably priced for Ascot week. You will not be disappointed.

A Luxury Hotel in Ascot

40 years of marriage with one of the most romantic men anyone could ask for, what could I do in return that could even slightly compare to all the magical things that have been done for me. I pictured it.... a romantic setting in the heart of Berkshires rolling countryside. A rural setting, log fires, old buildings with character, peaceful surroundings, cosy furnishings, manicured gardens, this is what I wanted. I wanted to feel as if I was going back in history so what better area to choose than one with lots of History itself. I was looking for a Luxury Hotel in the surrounding areas of Ascot and Windsor where I could nestle down and enjoy the countryside or venture out slightly and enjoy the delights of Berkshire and its best features. Perhaps we would enjoy a day at the races, at the long famous Ascot Racecourse, or maybe a day at Windsor Castle, exploring the enchanted way the long past royal members have lived. Finally deciding on a location I could start to narrow it down and look for a Luxury Hotel in Ascot.

There were so many to choose from, suddenly I felt daunted. So many names and reviews! Stirrups Country House Hotel seemed to feature often. I wondered what was so special about this Hotel, why were they soaring above the rest? What secret ingredient had they got their hands on.  With so many Luxury Hotels in Ascot, all having the same access to local features and amenities why was Stirrups standing so high above the rest? I’ve always been one for taking chances, I did no more research and booked a four night stay at Stirrups Hotel, just from the first impact this Hotel had on me. Well, what a delight! As a very comfortably retired couple we have stayed in many Luxury Hotels and this exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Defiantly modest when rating themselves. A home away from home. We were lucky enough to enjoy a day at the Ascot racecourse. Champagne flowing whilst the sun set over the course, catching the dust kicked up from galloping race horses. We felt like Kings and Queens drizzled in luxury. Ascot Village itself is an absolute treasure to come across. Historic buildings line the high street, glittered with small cafes and patisseries. The bustle in the morning was energetic yet calming as everyone enjoyed their start to the day, a true community with heart.

Stirrups Hotel really do themselves proud. A fantastic location! Equidistant from major key attractions, all with total ease of access.  We were both completely delighted with what we had stumbled across and would return to the Berkshire area again without hesitation, and most defiantly to Stirrups. Highly recommended by ourselves, I feel Stirrups to be the truest of Luxury Hotels in Ascot as it has all you would expect and so much more.
Trust your instincts, I’m glad I did!
