Expand your horizons with a scenic trip to the English countryside, at the historic Ellenborough Park. Located in the village of Southam, just north of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, the hotel was once the original Cheltenham Racecourse estate, now beautifully restored with well-preserved splendor. 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.

★★★★★ We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ellenborough Park. Everything was exceptional from start to finish. The food was amazing, the service was warm, friendly and attentive, and our room was beautiful and extremely comfortable. The setting is simply stunning — a gorgeous hotel in beautiful surroundings, with a real sense of luxury while still feeling relaxed and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our stay and would happily return. A very easy five stars and highly recommended!

We first experienced this charming hotel 10 years ago as a wedding gift package with a day at the races included. We decided to return for our 10th anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. From the time you walk through the door to the time you leave you are treated like film stars! Every guest is important, the staff are so polite and nothing is too much trouble. The quality of the rooms, food and the overall experience make this a most memorable truly British hotel. I would highly recommend it

Lovely hotel. Been coming here years. Stayed in a beautiful manor suite this time. Children loved outdoor swimming in the cold!!! Pool a beautiful temperature. Highly recommend.

Sadly what should have been a lovely breakfast was a shambles - extremely long wait for food which arrived cold and poor quality, returned and the second food was even worse so not eaten. A lot of other people complaining too. Staff not really knowing what they were doing and not enough of them, very poorly organised. The hotel requires a good deep clean also.

Lovely family meal watching the eclipse from the gardens. Excellent service from Naren. Nothing was too much trouble-a real asset to the team. Beautiful setting and great food
