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.

Birthday weekend away
Had the most abating night away at Ellenborough Park. What a beautiful despite the torrential rain all weekend.
Our room was so comfortable and lovely. We were taken to our room by a really friendly chatty gentleman who told us all about the history of the hotel.
Our only gripe was the restaurant food. The fine dining restaurant is currently closed due to the cove but we were happy with the More limited menu we were given.
We chose Chateaubriand as a treat and although the meat was good quality and cooked well it was stone the triple cooked chips and clearly been fried in a very old chip fat so they smelt and tasted like that old greasy spoon cafe chip which was very odd putting.
Definitely expected better!!!
Didn t want to spoil the evening meal or weekend with sending it back ...but in hindsight should have bought it to their attention at the time.
Amazing hotel
Lana the waitress was very nice but your toilet had a leak
Not as Expected
On arrival we unload the car and booked in at reception to learn that our allocated room required us to drive back to the front gate in a separate block. Ended up walking back to the main building to get assistance in locating the room as all we had was a room number which were not well signed though out the property
On the plus side the rooms are super - spacious and well appointed with super size bathrooms with all amenities and quiet.
I had hoped that the overnight experience would have included some fine dining to match the location and the hotel itself.
However we were pre booked by the hotel into the Horse Box Restaurant situated off the bar area of the hotel and the menu was less than exciting. Pub style feel to the restaurant with menu and food to match - but at restaurant prices - and topped up with 12.5% service charge which includes the wine - at restaurant prices
Reception took 2, in hotel, spending deposits due to a transaction malfunction that did indeed go through- one of which was on a debit card and I am still awaiting the refund as the actual charges where put on the second Credit card.
The staff where friendly enough under difficult service circumstances at this Covid time.
I can't say that the stay was value for money or offered the experience that we expected
