Lovely hotel but let down by the limited and expensive menu

Great hotel in a prime Cotswold location. Our only gripe was the over-priced and limited menu in the main restaurant, and the relative cost for not much extra choice or quantity in the lesser restaurant. The latter is essentially pub food at stupid prices, around 50 per head. The upscale restaurant will set you back 60+ per head for minute quantities albeit beautifully presented and served. Add in overpriced wines and you can kiss goodbye to a minimum 100 per head. It is just not worth it.

A Grand hotel with lots of style but the spa was a bit sparse

A luxurious hotel with lovely well equipped rooms, however the spa was very small , the sauna/steam room and jaquzi only designed for 6 people max at a time, so could get very crowded. also the pool was outdoors and you have to walk around the building in your robe to reach so hope it doesn't rain. Finally the gynm was again very small , 1 bike 4 pieces of weight equipment and 2 treadmills so 4 people easily causes congestion.

Beautiful and charming, perfect for a family escape

We enjoyed our stay at the Ellenborough Park Hotel. The setting is beautiful, the main building is very charming with lots of history which the staff very kindly gave us a brief tour on. The rooms are a bit tired in places but very spacious and the bathroom was lovely with a really nice bath. The food in the two restaurants is good but would benefit from having different menus for each restaurant to give more choice. The spa is small but good and the choice of treatments is very good, I really enjoyed my facial and massage. The outdoor heated pool is great and the children loved it. The location is fantastic for walks in the countryside but also easy access to Cheltenham. Overall a lovely family long weekend away, I would go back and recommend it.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay. We were veryhappy with everything except for the a few of our meals. My partner ordered poached eggs for breakfast, they were hard. Another time we ate in the stables, I orderdered the duck in a hoisin sauce,....... It was drowned in the sauce and duck was dry.
How ever everything else was perfect and a fabulous location.

Birthday weekend away

Had the most abating night away at Ellenborough Park. What a beautiful despite the torrential rain all weekend.
Our room was so comfortable and lovely. We were taken to our room by a really friendly chatty gentleman who told us all about the history of the hotel.
Our only gripe was the restaurant food. The fine dining restaurant is currently closed due to the cove but we were happy with the More limited menu we were given.
We chose Chateaubriand as a treat and although the meat was good quality and cooked well it was stone the triple cooked chips and clearly been fried in a very old chip fat so they smelt and tasted like that old greasy spoon cafe chip which was very odd putting.
Definitely expected better!!!
Didn t want to spoil the evening meal or weekend with sending it back ...but in hindsight should have bought it to their attention at the time.

restaurant

We had 2 meals in the restaurant as the bistro could not accommodate us the first night.  The first night's meal was excellent from service to food. Unfortunately, the second night's meal was a disaster. Very slow service, staggered arrival of meals and the same limited menu.
