About the Hotel

Just over 60 spacious bedrooms and suites house guests with regal style and grace, thoughtfully designed and spread throughout four buildings. If classic British panache is your muse, opt for the Traditional or Classic Rooms, each equipped with modern conveniences like iPod docks, flat-panel televisions, heated bathroom flooring, and ergonomic beds. The Luxury and Tower Rooms offer an elevated level of elegance, with views over the property's fruitful gardens and scenic parklands. Additionally, all guests have access to the exceptional facilities of The Spa at Ellenborough Park, including steam rooms, a spa pool, and sauna. Opt for a full-fledged experience and book a facial treatment, massage, spa ritual, or body treatment, all designed to pamper and provide the ultimate in unwinding.

Great Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

This was a gift that my company got me for 25 years service, I work with adults with Autism and people who have mental health with complex needs. I would of never been able to afford this so was over whelmed when I researched the hotel. The grounds and the hotel its self is stunning cannot fault, grounds kept immaculate. Staff just lovely, nothing too much bother …service with a smile, exceptional staff, well done to you all, you work so hard. The food was on the money, ok not a vast choice but a great choice, something for everyone. We had room service once and we ate in the restaurant once both times the food was so good, can I recommend the lamb as well as my wife’s goats cheese tart, for main the Risotto or the steak, beautifully cooked and presented, shout out to the Kitchen staff that work so hard behind the scenes.. Breakfast was varied and delivered to your table hot, it was a joy, yes 10 out of 10 for the breakfast it was the gift that kept giving. We had room 51 near the entrance in the turret, it was lovely. The bed was indulgent and very comfortable, the bathroom large with a choice of bath or shower (over bath) The one thing I think the hotel missed a beat on is……. the room had a mezzanine with a lovely sofa, lamp and view but no Tv it would have been lovely to be able to sit on a sofa to watch the odd programme, in the main bedroom they had a tiny Tv which you could not read the menus as it was too far from the bed, I had to stand in front of Tv to locate the guide. This Tv should have been put in the mezzanine and a more fitting (size wise) be mounted in the bedroom. 5 star should push the boat out with the rooms. My wife also asked about the indoor pool, she was told by two staff members there was NO indoor pool only an outside heated pool, disappointed as the weather was not too clever we ended up in a local garden centre. On checking out this morning and chatting to the young man in reception about what would be a treat,…….an indoor pool! I said he replied, it’s in the Spa I nearly fell off my bank card as I was paying at the time, yes he continued not a large pool but still a pool. My only thought was how will I tell my better half who for the last two days has been standing by with swimsuits at the ready only to have packed them back in the case dry as a bone, heads up to all for the future.

A Five Star Gem In The Cotswolds

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Our second visit to this wonderful hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were made feel welcome. The staff are a credit to you. So friendly, so helpful. Enjoyed a lovely lunch in the Horse Box Resteraunt. Our room (the same as on our previous visit) was superb. We enjoyed a great, leisurely breakfast the following morning (following a Concert at The Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury the previousevening). No better place to stay if you are visiting the Cotswolds. A definite 5 star hotel. We will be back !

Wonderful Relaxing Break

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

I would like to thank General Director Marwen for creating a great atmosphere with his team in Ellenborough Park hotel and for the fantastic break I had yesterday. Also thanks to Louise, Sarah & Kirsty for organising my Birthday gift. I had a great stay at such a historical building & was a marvellous experience. Food great quality. Delicious steak & thanks to the chef & waiter Jack for looking after. Also excellent breakfast & friendly team. Bedroom modern. Comfortable mattress like sleeping on a cloud & all amenities included. One night was not enough to appreciate it all. I look forward to coming back again. Thank you Svetlana Souter

Gorgeous!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Enjoyed a delightful few days here. The grounds are beautiful - magical in fact - and we had the outdoor pool pretty much to ourselves. Spa treatments were excellent, beds comfortable, food delicious. Dogs very welcome. As others have noted, they seem to be a bit short staffed and you can wait a long time for service, so I would really recommend they work on this, but still a 5* experience in my view.
