Overall a very enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Breakfast menu was excellent with a wide variety of choice. Well presented and very good . The staff are very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

The only drawback is that you have to go outside and walk to your accommodation. However the rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. Two basins in the large bathroom is a great idea!

An outstanding overnight stay
Pros:

The team (check in and in the main restaurant) were outstanding - naturals at hospitality - thank you.

We enjoyed a very high standard of dining in the main restaurant. The main manor is very attractive with quirky features such as the lounge with the open fire.

Cons:

Pool is too small and overlooked by bedrooms

Wonderful private dining experience
Pros:

Many thanks to all who helped to make my 80th birthday celebration in the Royalist room such a memorable occasion. The planning was meticulous, room was stunning, meal from the banqueting menu was superb (and the chef kindly met specific dietary needs), and service on the day was first class. I have no hesitation in recommending private dining in Ellenborough Park's Royalist room.

Pros:

Stunning property with history.

Amazing welcoming and helpful staff. I was there for just the night and wished I’d had more time there to really appreciate the place. The food was lovely. Rooms well appointed but for me the staff made it. Really great.
