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.

Perfect for a Night Away
As a brief escape from the kids, the hotel was perfect - we arrived early on Sunday and were able to enjoy the newspapers and a coffee in peace; we then used the spa, great treatments and given its small size much more personal than most; all the staff and service we received was of a good quality and delivered with a smile; the food was of a good quality throughout (both the bar and the main restaurants); we had certain other requests that were all dealt with swiftly and without fuss
Excellent staff and lovely hotel
We had a very enjoyable couple of nights. The hotel was really great in a fantastic location for the Cotswolds.
Although our allocated room had a slight smell of smoke, the staff were very helpful and moved us without question. Food in the Horse Box was excellent as was breakfast. Outdoor pool lovely and warm and good spa facilities. Most outstanding part of our stay was the excellent service from very friendly staff. In particular thanks to Russell, Jonathon and Jonathan.
A lovely stay with very friendly staff
booked Ellenborough Park for my husband's special birthday and we weren't disappointed on arrival. The approach is very impressive and the building beautiful with such character. The welcome was very friendly and all the staff members were only too happy to chat and impart very useful information or just pass the time. I have to say it was a little disappointing to find the restaurant closed for dinner as I had a nice frock to wear but we ended up sitting in the atrium which was a little chilly and didn't feel particularly special but the chateaubriand was excellent. To be honest I am not really sure why the restaurant was closed since the horse box was much smaller and so people appeared quite closely seated, whereas they could have been much more spaced out in the restaurant. The only other thing to mention was the real fire in the lounge, whilst it was lovely to see an open fire in such wonderful surroundings, I think the chimney may have needed sweeping as the smoke was quite choking at times. All this having said, we had a thoroughly lovely time and wouldn't hesitate to stay again (perhaps in the summer months when we could enjoy the outdoor spaces!)
