Ellenborough Park sits amid rolling countryside, offering a peaceful getaway. Visitors can relax in the garden or beside the poolside bar, savor British dishes at either of two restaurants, and rejuvenate with aromatherapy or massage treatments at the spa.
Located in Cheltenham, Ellenborough Park is in a rural area and near a train station. Holst Birthplace Museum and Pitville Pump Room are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Crickley Hill Country Park and Barnwood Arboretum & Park. Parabola Arts Centre and Walks With Hawks are also worth visiting. Break out the clubs and hit the links on a nearby golf course, or seek out an adventure with mountain biking, hiking/biking trails and horse riding. Visit our Cheltenham travel guide

A long overdue trip back to where we held our wedding 25 years ago, staff excellent & very attentive & made our stay extra special. A very special hotel
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.
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 estate, nice room staff. Excellent young man on check in. A little isolated, no shuttle to town centre available
Lovely two night stay, ate in the first night which was lovely. All the staff were great, we found them all very helpful and they are an absolute asset to the Hotel (especially in this day and age when hospitality staff are hard to find) I used the spa and had an amazing back massage. Would highly recommend and will be booking again.
Fabulous hotel with stunning views, including Cheltenham racecourse.
Our room was spacious and luxurious and we loved our stay.
The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful
This was our favorite stay for our whole trip. The property is gorgeous, and every detail was perfect- the room was beautiful, the dinner and breakfast outstanding. We loved it and can’t wait to come back.
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*
