Ellenborough Park restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.3
An exceptional five-star stay from start to finish. The hotel is stunning — beautifully designed rooms, luxurious linens, and every comfort thoughtfully provided. The spa and dining experiences were outstanding, with staff who were attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. We loved the charming atmosphere and elegant common spaces that made the hotel feel both grand and cozy.
The only disappointment was a brief moment when we were told we couldn’t sit by the fireplace, despite it appearing available. It was a small service misstep in an otherwise flawless stay, but worth mentioning as that warm fireside ambiance was something we were really looking forward to.
Aside from that, everything exceeded expectations. We left feeling truly relaxed and cared for, and we’d happily return — this hotel delivers luxury with personality and is well worth the visit.
