A high-end hotel closed due to a chemical leak that resulted in massive clouds of smoke.

Yesterday, Estelle Manor, a luxurious hotel and country club, had to close its doors due to a chemical leak that caused thick fumes to escape from the building. The incident, which occurred in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, prompted a swift response from firefighters, who were called to the scene in the morning. As a safety precaution, residents in the surrounding area were advised to keep their windows and doors shut until the fumes had dissipated.

Along with the firefighters, the Thames Valley Police and ambulance service also arrived at the hotel. According to the authorities, the leak was caused by a chemical reaction from a substance used to clean the hotel's swimming pools. As a result, guests staying at the hotel were evacuated, while others were turned away. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, although a small number of guests and staff were checked by medics as a precaution.

Estelle Manor, owned by the private members club Maison Estelle, is a popular destination for celebrities. In fact, just this past New Year's Eve, stars like Amanda Holden, Alan Carr, and footballer Peter Crouch and his wife Abbey Clancy were seen celebrating at the hotel. However, the incident caused some disappointment for guests, as one person shared on social media that they were turned away at the gate and saw the fire brigade arrive.

Despite the disruption, the hotel is expected to open as usual tomorrow. The chemical leak was contained to the South Terrace swimming pool pump room, which is separate from the spa area. The hotel's spokesperson reassured that the room was being ventilated and would be fully cleared soon. They also apologized for any inconvenience caused and promised to compensate guests for the disruption.

Estelle Manor's Roman-inspired spa is a popular feature of the hotel, attracting guests and members alike. The hotel's spokesperson expressed their regret for the incident and assured that they were working closely with the authorities to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The Thames Valley Police also released a statement, confirming that the leak was caused by sodium chloride and that the fire and rescue team were ventilating the building.

Despite the unfortunate incident, the hotel remains a luxurious destination in the Oxfordshire countryside, and celebrities like Amanda Holden and Alan Carr continue to frequent it. As the hotel prepares to open its doors once again, they are grateful for the swift response of the authorities and the patience and understanding of their guests, members, and neighbors. They look forward to welcoming everyone back soon.
