Rich in history and featuring a five-star rating, Ellenborough Park is located on a stunning 90-acre estate between the highest peak of the Cotswolds and the gallops of Cheltenham Racecourse.

This exquisite Cotswold manor house offers 61 distinctive rooms and suites, with its main structure dating back to the 15th Century. Recently, Ellenborough Park has been meticulously restored to modern elegance, achieving a five-star status complemented by casual and contemporary dining options.

In the summer months, enjoy al fresco dining on the South Lawn, complete with atmospheric festoon lighting, quirky dining carriages, and the enchanting Cedar Pavilion. Unwind with a carefully crafted cocktail on the Taittinger Terrace, or witness breathtaking sunsets over Cheltenham Racecourse and Cleeve Hill from the front of the estate, where panoramic views await.
