I wish we had had more time to enjoy the property amenities, but the room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Really a luxury experience after a long day hiking the Cotswold Way. We also highly recommend the restaurant, where we had a delicious dinner and a really lovely breakfast before leaving the next morning.

Our room was "musty dinginess" being sold as "old world charm" (we even had cobwebs for that extra dose of authenticity). Property overall was fine, albeit a little underinvested perhaps, and the people were generally very nice, but overall the hotel was not remotely worth the money they are charging.

3 Star property.

3 star property at best, The grounds are in okay condition. It feels very historic, but not very well maintained, with dust and cobwebs in many spots. Service is quite inconsistent - some people were very friendly, while others seemed as if they were still in training. Beds were poorly made and there was a tear in the skirt, which is not normal for a 5 star hotel. I would definitely NOT call this a spa hotel - the spa service was absolutely lacking, the “retreat” was disappointing (and cost extra!) and the pool chairs are cheap and uncomfortable with cushions that make you slide right off - very strange place for a hotel to go skimp, especially when the pool is so heavily featured in all marketing.

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.
