Dine with Your Dog
Ellenborough Park's 3AA Rosette restaurant is second to none for modern British dishes and discreet service. If you prefer a less formal affair, The Horse Box serves burgers and more British classics. In the evening, the menu will be quite similar throughout the Restaurant and The Horsebox brasserie, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes in two beautiful areas of the hotel. The restaurant with tables draped in crips white cloths and original oak panelling offers a more formal dining experience where the Horsebox brasserie offers a more relaxed and casual atmosphere. And of course, when in the Cotswolds you must have a traditional afternoon tea! Furry friends cannot join you in The Restaurant or The Great Hall, however, pets are welcome to dine with you in The Horse Box, The Atrium or out on The Terrace. If your furry friend prefers to relax they can do so in your bedroom while you eat.

Wonderful stay, Fantastic Breakfast
My Daughter and I had the most wonderful ,spoilt and pampered day, good food in the evening, drinks served by friendly efficient, knowledgeable staff. Room was a delight, catered for your every need. Shower amazing. Breakfast was an absolute delight. The best ever. We had the most amazing time thankyou.
The perfect tonic
With the children packed off to various members of the family, a spa weekend away from the stresses of daily life awaited. Had nothing to fault the stay at all. A beautiful room, wonderful facilities, friendly staff, delicious food, a lovely ambience, we couldn t have asked for anything more. All of this summed up perfectly with what happened after we checked out. Having taken a walk up to Cleeve hill, we came back to the hotel where we had booked to have afternoon tea. When we went into the lounge the member of staff whisked us up a spiral staircase to a wonderful little room called The Snug where we were served a wonderful afternoon tea with the best scones I have ever tasted. We were made to feel special and for me was the perfect end to the stay. We will most definitely be back!
Pure Bliss
I stayed at the Ellenborough with a friend so we could relax and recoup. Having stayed in some pretty amazing hotels in my time and this is up there, did not disappoint in any way. The staff were so helpful, polite and professional, very attentive. The hotel itself is just stunning, pure style, old meets new. The decor does the age of the property justice. The library, have a look, it's quite something. I think the house itself which dates back to 1487, don't quote me, that's a Wikepedia fact. I had two treatments in the spa, a massage with Anna, one of the best I've ever had. Dinner was exceptional. My friend and I wanted to meet the chef to say thanks, he was a little shy that night. If I was being super picky, two areas they might pay more attention to; the non existant range of grown up alcohol free drinks and the pillows were a little hard. But you know what? This is being really picky.
