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.

Long weekend
We stayed here for 3 nights with another couple and enjoyed the weekend. 3 nights was too long in the restaurant as the menu didn't change and was not very extensive. also the 1.5 hour wait for our main course was unacceptable particularly when we told they were busy with a party. we were offered a free bottle of wine to compensate for the wait but it shouldn't have happened.
The room however was great, we had a luxury room at the top of the tower which involved 63 steps. Superb views when we got there though. The swimming pool was great and the spa was also nice but quite small.
Excellent Stay
We booked to stay at Ellenborough Park for my wife's 30th birthday and found everything about Ellenborough Park perfect. The food in the restaurants and bar area was great with waiter and hotel staff very helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic room which was spacious, luxurious with a very large bathroom, powerful shower and roll top bath. The grounds are stunning and we were able to take a pleasant walk around Cheltenham Racecourse and through neighbouring Prestbury. The spa was fantastic and both myself and my wife booked in for a full body massage which was totally relaxing followed by use of the jacuzzi and steam room and sauna. The outdoor swimming pool was heated and was great to go for mid-morning swim, even in January! Overall we had a perfectly relaxing weekend and will definitely be back. Thank you!
Beautiful and charming, perfect for a family escape
We enjoyed our stay at the Ellenborough Park Hotel. The setting is beautiful, the main building is very charming with lots of history which the staff very kindly gave us a brief tour on. The rooms are a bit tired in places but very spacious and the bathroom was lovely with a really nice bath. The food in the two restaurants is good but would benefit from having different menus for each restaurant to give more choice. The spa is small but good and the choice of treatments is very good, I really enjoyed my facial and massage. The outdoor heated pool is great and the children loved it. The location is fantastic for walks in the countryside but also easy access to Cheltenham. Overall a lovely family long weekend away, I would go back and recommend it.
