Reviews for Ellenborough Park

THINK TWICE BEFORE MAKING (AND PAYING IN ADVANCE FOR) A RESERVATION HERE !!!!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Our overall experience at this hotel was quite poor, among other things I could mention: a) The shower door had a very poor seal and spilt water flooded the bathroom every time you used the shower. b) On the first day, the housekeeping service did not come to our room, and when we reported the situation they rushed to fix the room, leaving a dirty toilet and the bed barely made. c) We dined in their restaurant the first night of our stay. We ordered a bottle of wine, and the waiter brought the wine only after the second course had been served. No explanation was given!!!!

Afternoon Tea

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

A beautifully presented hotel with lovely views and grounds. We visited over the weekend for afternoon tea; the hotel was easy to find with ample free parking. The afternoon tea was delicious and we particularly enjoyed the savoury element. The scones were very good as were the cakes. A couple of things were missed; whilst service was friendly I expected it to be a little more attentive. The grounds were very nice for a walk after. The room for afternoon tea suits a winters day more I would suggest; it would also be lovely outside if weather allowed.

Worst possible experience !! Don’t bother

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

If I could give 0 starts I would. The worst possible experience , rude staff , took funds from my bank without authorisation , never returned calls , not welcoming , absolute shambles! Not a 5 starts property what’s so ever. Breakfast was a joke, absolute nightmare and totally disorganised ! Will not recommend this property to anyone. Unless you want money coming out or your account and nobody wants to know or deal with you. Do not bother !!!

LUXURIOUS HISTORICAL ESTATE RESORT

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

We are currently visiting Ellenborough Park hotel and are really enjoying our stay. The property is magnificent, the views are absolutely beautiful at this top notch Luxury resort hotel. The historical parts of the hotel are spectacular, the impressive beautiful lounge dates back to the 1400’s. With a huge roaring fire it is a fantastic spot to enjoy an afternoon tea or cocktail in the evening. The staff throughout the property are absolutely fantastic very friendly and they work hard to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. Breakfast at the hotel is a combination of a very sub stain variety of buffet Continental items and cocked to order hot breakfasts selections. We are staying in a junior suite that is very comfortable and luxurious with a very impressive bathroom with full freestanding bath and walk in shower. The shower is phenomenal with excellent water pressure and very high quality toiletries and towels. A commentary tea coffee shortbread and min fridge with a selection of cold drinks is a very nice touch. The food is both the bar and restaurant is very good with a superior presentation. This is definitely a true luxury hotel resort that I would without hesitation recommend for a beautiful relaxing stay.
