Absolutely beautiful hotel grounds with good and relaxing vibes! The swing at the garden is a place you shouldn’t miss, the view is gorgeous indeed! I’m staying with kids and surprisingly they enjoyed the stay a lot! Staff are wonderful, polite and helpful, thank you Grace and John at the reception who made our stay even more memorable! Will definitely recommend this place and I hope I’d be back again one day!!

From arrival & pulling up in front of the beautiful grand house, full of old world charm, to checking in to our well appointed junior suite, the staff were attentive & polite, the food was delicious, locally sourced & served with attention to detail. The bar provided a fantastic selection of food & drinks & Champagne seemed to be the order of the day, we even tried a pint of Clarkson's local brew. Set in its own well kept grounds over looking Cheltenham racecourse, which was only a short walk though beautiful countryside, we felt a sense of tranquility & relaxation. With a lovely heated outdoor pool & entertainment areas, our stay never felt over crowded. After our 2 night stay we felt refreshed, having been well attended to by the staff. Check out came all too soon from this 5 Star luxury hotel & we left following an amazing breakfast. If you want to enjoy a quiet & unassuming luxury hotel, oozing with history & class, Ellenborough Park certainly ticks all the right boxes.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room and food was lovely. The spa is quite small but nice. The only thing I would say is there were dirty cups and plates around the pool area and the service in the evening was very slow.

The spa and pool were highlights. The food was good but a little below what we have had at other 5* hotels. Puddings were superb though. The service from staff was generally pretty good and all together an enjoyable stay.

Beautiful surrounding, waking trails around the hotel, breakfast can improve with more choices e.g no cheeses in the buffet . You need a car for this hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
The 'Spa' was fairly limited with just a hot tub, sauna, steam room and 6 beds. Based on this, i wouldn't say it's a spa hotel, just a hotel with a small spa add-on. Its was great weather which meant there weren't enough beds by the outdoor heated pool so there wasnt really anywhere for us to go. The treatments were good, but I think overpriced. The restaurant was not good at catering to my food intollerances, even serving me food which contained my intollerances by mistake. They didn't have much they could adapt on the menu which was disappointing. I think the staff could have been more attentive, and they didn't seem that knowledgable about what was available (except the spa staff who were great).

The location is beautiful and so is the hotel. The only thing that let it down was a bit of clumsyness: Cleaning of the room, dirty plates left in the room, no new toilet roll added, the room was 1st floor with stairs, we travelled with a young child and were unaware there was no lift before arrival. I would just expect better from a 5*
