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.

Recent stay at Ellenborough Park Hotel
This was a special family gift for our birthdays which did not turn out as we exactly as expected because of the following drawbacks . 1)No glasses of champagne on arrival as stipulated. 2) Lack of shower cabinet in room and to expect older guests to step into a high and narrow bath to shower without even a bath mat provided was positively dangerous ! 3) On ordering wine for dinner at the Horse Box I distinctly ordered and got merlot house wine priced at 24. On checking out I was informed that we had Malbec at 37 . Rubbish but I suggest one of your reception staff has an attitude problem. 4) At breakfast we were seated, given menu and not informed that cooked English was available in an adjacent room !!
We enjoyed it but not five star luxury
We felt the deal was overpriced and that was with a very good package including dinner allowance and glass of bubbly. Had we paid the full hotel price of over 400 just for B&B, we'd have been gutted. The good stuff: Amazing historic building, fantastically comfortable bed, friendly stuff trying to do their best in difficult (covid) times, unstuffy atmosphere, pretty grounds, very ice breakfast and good service at breakfast, served on the terrace with lovely views. The bad stuff: Very average dinner in very average bar surroudings (formal restuarant was closed), most definitely not 5-star cooking. Weak wifi signal in bedrooms and no smart TV, just terrestial channels which is surprising for a hotel claiming to hod 5 stars, waited 45 minutes for ham sandwich at lunchtime, vey small outdoor pool with all sun loungers hogged by the same people all day long and no attempt to allow others in for a swim at a safe distance. That said, after initial disappointment, the place grew on us and we found it relaxing for one night.
Just Ok
Rather disappointed in limited choice on both Restaurant and Bistro menus
Didn t make an issue of it but ordered Mille Feuille for desert which the waiter announced on serving only to be served a Sticky toffee pudding !! Silly thing was by his face he knew it was wrong so why serve it ?!!
Service of food was very slow and restaurant not at all busy
With the limited choices on the menu was rather disappointing especially for 60 for 3 courses !
Horse Box prawn cocktail /fish and chips was good
Restaurant really does need to improve to substantiate price
