A lovely Georgian manor house, the Mercure Newbury Elcot Park Hotel boasts 16 acres of landscaped gardens and views over the Kennet Valley.

From the hotel, it’s just five miles to Newbury city centre, where you can visit Shaw House, the largest Elizabethan house in Berkshire, take a look at the world famous Newbury Racecourse, and explore the Living Rainforest, the city’s botanic gardens. Highclere Castle, one of the principal film locations for Downton Abbey, is less than a 15-minute drive from the Mercure Newbury Elcot Park Hotel, where you can visit the castle and the gardens and go behind the scenes of the award-winning TV show.
