Super Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in den Cotswolds

Fantastisches historisches Haus mit grossartigem Restaurant und ausgezeichnetem Service in wunderschöner Landschaft

Nicole · CH · 2026-07-18

Fine but not awe inspiring.

7.0

I enjoyed staying at the hotel. The staff were great as was the food. The facilities were fine.

− It was over priced bearing in mind the overall value. The hotel is dated and requires some tlc. On that basis, I probably would not book the hotel again.

Great place to relax and tour the Cotswolds

10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Ellenborough Park Hotel. We chose it specifically because it has an outdoor swimming pool and we spent time each day by the pool enjoying the exceptionally hot weather. The pool area is well maintained and the sunbeds were very comfortable. It was very busy when we arrived on Sunday afternoon but not too crowded during the week. We didn’t have lunch or dinner at the hotel but the breakfast was excellent. A very well stocked buffet plus an extensive menu of cooked food such as eggs, porridge and kippers. All delicious. The bedroom was generally adequate although there was not much space for clothes storage. The bathroom was spacious and clean. Ours only had a bath tub with a shower over it but some rooms have separate walk-in showers. The hotel grounds are delightful with beautiful views. A perfect place to relax and unwind.

A beautifully restored English Manor into a 5* Hotel

10.0

Incredible manor restored to its greatness with a lovely pub, restaurant and terraces. The new section with a pool & gym was designed to be harmonious with the manor. The gardens are beautiful and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and well appointed. And wow the main house living room is amazing. The walks around the huge property and sunset croquet were lovely. My only complaint was the hotel was a little short-staffed. We had to call a few times for the basics; towels, nespresso, toilet paper, and to have our room service cleared. We also had to wait a while for our drinks at the pub and they often didn't have enough staff to clear the tables, especially outdoors. The breakfast and service was great though, especially the hostess who ran a tight pleasant ship. My only suggestion is a simple fix to our shower in room 33 and presumably others; the rain shower needs a longer pipe to center it past the toiletries tray. As it is now you have to bend over the tray to shower which made rinsing difficult. We will definitely return the next time we are in the Cotswolds. Thank you

Top notch place - 5 star.

Excellent service from the well trained staff. By far the best of any luxury hotel I have stayed at in the Cotswolds.

− I didn't realize my room was not in the main building
