Ettington Park Hotel

Okay, so there was actually a real mansion played by Hill House.

And that's the exterior of the shot, which was filmed, we said, in Eddington Park.

And there was this gothic revival mansion in Warwickshire, England.

And the historical building, which actually dates back centuries, not just 90 years, centuries, is now actually a luxury hotel.

Now let's talk about Hill House itself because I honestly think it's one of the greatest characters in horror cinema and yes I do mean a character.

The story is set in New England in the United States but the film was actually shot in England The exterior of Hill House was represented by Ettington Park, a magnificent gothic mansion near Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire.

The interior scenes were filmed on studio sets at MGM's British Studio in Borehamwood.

Ettington Park is a remarkable building in its own right, with a history stretching back centuries.

It has the sort of architecture that seems to belong in a ghost story.

imposing stonework, elaborate windows, grand rooms and an atmosphere that can easily inspire thoughts of forgotten lives and terrible family secrets.

...

it was filmed over in England at a country home called Edington Park in Warwickshire, England, but now it's, uh, it's called the Edington Park Mill.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, but, uh, at this point, it was still privately owned.
