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.

Beautiful place but so cold

Robert M, Staffordshire, stayed: November 2023

The hotel is truly a magnificent building in delightful grounds, with very good access to Cheltenham. The cocktail menu was very good and they were made excellently and well presented. Good range of wines and champagnes. Unfortunately the restaurant menu was just so-so and the quality of the food matched that. The real problem for us was that whole building including the bedrooms were icy cold, roaring log fires in the main rooms didn t really cut the mustard. The bedrooms had minimal radiators and a much needed electric convector heater. The bathroom was absolutely freezing, because of this we were tempted to come home on day one but we stayed for the entire stay as (a) there is a no refund policy and (b) we had a dinner appointment on day 2 in Cheltenham. I think a stay during warmer times would have been very different.

Ready for a refurb

LJ, Kent, stayed: February 2025

Lovely building and grounds and very nice staff but rooms were dated and ready for refurbishment. The nicest room was the large reception room by the fire. It knew what it was and was fitting for the period of the house. The more modern areas like the bar were more like a premier inn. The food was average fair and nothing special we had a much nicer meal at the kings arms. I should mention that we did get a room upgrade but the room was decorated like my grandma s house in the 80 s. We had come from Estella Manor which is definitely 5 star. This place is 4 at best.
