Ellenborough Park

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.

My partner Karen and I visited the Ellenborough last weekend. It was a weekend break to celebrate her birthday. From the moment I first rang Clare in Reception to the Check out it was a truly memorable experience. The hotel is situated just outside Cheltenham in superb grounds. We were made feel very welcome on arrival and a delightful young man (Max) showed us to the appropriate car park via his excellent "star jumps". He then took our luggage to a delightful room adjacent to the outdoor pool. A bottle of champagne and handmade chocolates greeted us as we made ourselves comfortable in our excellent surroundings. The bathroom and walk in shower were large and functioned superbly (hot running water literally on tap). There was plenty of space to hang our clothes and a lovely double king sized bed. Although we did not avail ourselves of the heated outdoor pool, it looked very inviting. As we were meeting friends elsewhere in the evening we did not eat in the Resteraunt until the following day. What a treat ! A beautiful, oak panelled resteraunt ran like clockwork under the excellent supervision of the manageress. She showed us to our table, explained the procedures and helped Karen collect juices etc . It was the perfect example of how a Resteraunt should be run. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. It was a little loud as I believe there were wedding guests staying over night. On Sunday evening we had a wonderful meal in another of their Resteraunts. Again we were met by very polite, friendly and helpful staff. Our food was first class and when we returned to our room,once again we were treated to home made Chocolates, courtesy of Management to celebrate Karen's Birthday. It has to be said that although it is very expensive to stay here, it was worth every penny ! Nothing was too much trouble. All members of staff were pleasant and friendly. Management obviously train their staff exceptionally well. Finally, if it was possible to award ten stars, I would. A truly wonderful experience that Karen and I will,remember for the rest of lives.

As a guest of the wedding held here yesterday, I would like to thank the manager on duty at reception on Saturday evening, he managed to repair my glasses which had broken during the reception, please be sure to pass on my gratitude again, I was impressed by his kindness and pleasantly surprised he had a miniature screwdriver kit to hand ..first class service

I took my elderly parents here for a weekend and the hotel were really friendly and very accommodating. Food excellent at every meal we had. Lounge is lovely with an open fire thought the other bar is not very atmospheric. Kevin at the front desk was really helpful. Our rooms were both in the main building, no 5 (very large with massive bathroom, roll top bath, separate shower and lovely view of the gardens) and no 3 (large room, good view towards Cheltenham racecourse but small uninspiring bathroom). The reason i haven't given 5 stars is the spa - disappointingly small spa area which was overrun if there were more than about 6-7 people in it, the pool is outdoors and not very picturesque. It's surrounded by concrete and patio. My massage was mediocre at best though my mum had one and really enjoyed hers. Overall I'd say Ellenborough feels like a great 4 star hotel than a 5 star one but as I say it's very comfortable and the staff are lovely which counts for a lot.

We went for mother day afternoon tea..didn't get the gift, that's on there meau, it's not disabled friendly no car park spaces near the hotel..and the path way is made up of stones so use can't use a walker.. had a ramp on the stairs that's like that will do...couldn't go in the main room as the fire was on very nice but when your on o2 your not allowed in there, so we were stuck in a cold room..I can say if your using walker or chair it will be hard work..
