Ellenborough Park

Beautiful hotel, I have stayed with my daughter and dog and separately with my partner and it’s just perfect for both.

It is a beautiful setting, with gorgeous facilities and grounds. The room was extremely comfortable and had everything you needed. The outdoor pool was super as was the spa treatments. What really stood out was the staff. Each staff member was so attentive, welcoming and kind. Nothing was too much. They made us feel very special as we were celebrating a special occasion. Would highly recommend.

We decided to stay at this hotel as we go to racing a lot and usually stay in town. I contacted the hotel directly and was quoted the same price as on Booking.com so I asked what the advantages were of booking direct, and other than being able to contact the hotel more easily.. [??} there were none so I didn’t.

The hotel was apologetic that our room wasn’t ready when we arrived at 3pm and assured us they would come and tell us as soon as it was. We waited an hour during which time the manager came over to us in the bar twice to ask if everything was ok promising to find out if our room was ready but never actually did so eventually we went back to reception to be told it was ready. Our room [18] wasn’t great as it had virtually no natural light with thick net curtains hiding extremely dirty windows and decorated in dark colours but was comfortable for one night - the bathroom was much lighter and very nice.

We booked into the Horse Box brasserie where we ordered a bottle of wine and steak and then waited over 30 minutes for the wine to arrive; when we asked we were told only the manager could get it for us. When it finally arrived after the steak had arrived it was the wrong bottle. When the manager [Naren] finally brought the right wine he proceeded to blame his staff for the delay and for bringing the wrong bottle. Luckily the steak was cooked to perfection, the wine was lovely and for the rest of our meal we were served by Marly who was fantastic. They knocked £10 off our bill for the meal.

This hotel is in a lovely setting and in a great location for us on racing days but I’m not sure we’d stay there again, somehow it didn’t quite hit the spot.

Short stay mid week. Large suite which had a high level of cleanliness. Very efficient air con which was welcomed. Spacious bathroom with all toiletries provided. Lovely heated pool and plenty of sunbeds. Lovely building and stunning grounds. The main building had lots character and charm. A particularly tasty breakfast with plenty of buffet choice, which also has a good hot option that could be ordered. Location is excellent when visiting the Cotswolds. Would we return ? Yes

The hotel is in a beautiful setting with a lovely pool and spa. Bar area is lovely and had great service from Naren in the Horse Box Brasserie.

Thank you Ellenborough park for making my daughter’s wedding an amazing day.
Your staff were so professional and friendly and went above and beyond for us. Too many to mention but Lisa, Charlie, Jordan, Kevin and others too many to mention.
Everyone remarked on a magical venue, fantastic food, service levels rarely seen.
Thank you so much.

The Ellenborough is such a wonderful hotel. We stayed for 2 nights, in a poolside deluxe room and absolutely loved every minute. We will return and would thoroughly recommend the poolside room. It helped that the weather was so divine, but to be able to get up and have a cup of tea by the quiet pool each morning and to have a glass of wine as the sun went down on our patio, was the perfect way to start and end out days!

The food in both restaurants is excellent! There is a real family feel without being aware of lots of children being present and it's a very dog friendly hotel with a really fabulous walk down to Cheltenham racecourse.

We hired the spa garden retreat, which was such a treat! Thoroughly recommend this whether you're a couple / group / family etc.

We will definitely return :)

A lovely and unique experience. Being in a 500 year old country estate with all modern amenities, the included breakfast was delicious. The pool is excellent. The staff were plentiful and gracious.

We were so pleased with our 3 night stay at Ellenborough Park. We came from the US and this was our first stop for our England vacation. The location was very convenient, close to things for sightseeing and town in case we needed something, but being in the country, it was quiet and peaceful. The staff was wonderful and provided exceptional service. The room was very spacious, very clean and we felt at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and quiet, but at the same time it was very upscale and very nice. It exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend Ellenborough Park to others and we would stay here again!

We had the best stay on our wedding night. The staff went above and beyond to make sure it was a really special experience and that it was! We felt very relaxed and had the best time! Exactly the calm romantic vibes we were looking for. The room we stayed in was beautiful and so comfortable with everything you would need! It finished off our wedding day perfectly. Thank you!

Beautiful hotel. Staff were excellent from the welcome to through to checkout they couldn’t do enough for us. Spa area and pool were clean and relaxing. Room was spotless and bed was super comfortable. We ate in The Restaurant , food and service were also excellent. We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault anything. Would highly recommend and we would definitely go back.

The setting and atmosphere are beautiful.
However outside of that it simply did not live up to its 5* rating.
The room felt dirty, it felt tired & had quite badly stained carpets. The bathroom felt unacceptable, tiling was dirty, grouting crumbling away, black mould built up in each shower corner, I sat down in the bath & there was a previous guests makeup smeered across the tile- very off putting.
I booked a 50 minute pregnancy massage checking the time at the end as it felt quick, skipping fronts of shoulders and front of my chest- the lady had completed the treatment in 35 minutes! It’s a shame but hotels need to be on top of maintenance especially when trying to deliver a 5* experience. This was a getaway for me solo before having my next baby.

Fantastisches historisches Haus mit grossartigem Restaurant und ausgezeichnetem Service in wunderschöner Landschaft

An outstanding building and estate. I would highly recommend the Ellenborough.
Helpful staff and excellently maintained facility. The best of the best

I enjoyed staying at the hotel. The staff were great as was the food. The facilities were fine.

This is a stunning country hotel in a lovely peaceful location. It has great views towards Cheltenham race course and there is a footpath you can walk to it.
Our room was large, clean and comfortable with air conditioning.
The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was reasonably priced. We only ate in the horse box brasserie , so cannot comment on the restaurant or the spa . Overall a lovely stay.

Beautiful old building, well kept and lots of open space outside
