In the rolling green heart of England’s Cotswolds lies Ellenborough Park, a five-star estate that blends old-world charm with modern luxury. A little over two hours from London, this 90-acre retreat is becoming a dream destination for Indian travellers looking for a true British countryside experience.

Tucked near the famous Cheltenham Racecourse and scenic villages like Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water, Ellenborough Park sits in a restored 15th-century manor. The property celebrates its rich heritage with a fresh take—offering a peaceful escape with all the comforts of the present day. Think grand architecture, charming gardens, and world-class service.

Inside, each of the 61 rooms and suites has its own personality, complete with luxurious Hypnos beds, crisp linen, roll-top baths, and high-end amenities. Whether you're a family needing interconnecting rooms, a couple after a garden view, or a solo traveller seeking solitude, there's something tailored for everyone.

For those who love privacy, The Lodge is a highlight. This one-bedroom private cottage includes a cosy sitting area with a wood-burning stove, a full kitchen, and even a private garden. It’s ideal for romantic getaways or small family breaks. Guests also get the option of spa treatments and private dining without stepping out of their retreat.

Food lovers can indulge in two unique dining experiences. The Horse Box Brasserie serves up hearty British favourites, afternoon teas, cocktails, and a vast wine list, all in a stylish equestrian-themed setting. For a more refined meal, The Restaurant offers fine dining in a grand room with stained-glass windows and wood-panelled charm. During warmer months, guests can dine alfresco in converted vintage carriages, watching the sun dip over the Cotswolds with a glass of bubbly in hand.

Wellness takes centre stage too. The hotel’s serene in-house spa includes six treatment rooms, a gym, a thermal suite, and a heated outdoor pool. The newest addition, the Spa Garden, is an exclusive hideaway featuring a glass-roofed hot tub, a sleek sauna cabin, and a one-of-a-kind Taittinger yacht box filled with chilled champagne. For those feeling adventurous, there's even an ice bath perfect for boosting mood and energy.

General Manager Marwan Hemchaoui shares, “At Ellenborough Park, we invite our guests to enjoy all that our hotel, and stunning Cotswolds region has to offer by combining history, nature and elegance to ensure guests enjoy an unforgettable British experience.”

Outside, there’s plenty to explore. Guests can walk scenic trails around the estate or visit nearby gems like Sudeley Castle, Cotswold Farm Park, and the area's storybook villages. A special treat for racing fans: Cheltenham Racecourse is just a short walk away via a private track—making Ellenborough Park an unbeatable stay during the Cheltenham Festival or Gold Cup.

Getting there is simple. A drive from London takes less than 2.5 hours, or guests can hop on a train from London Paddington to Cheltenham Spa, followed by a short cab ride. Whichever way you go, the journey ends in a place where every corner tells a story and every moment feels timeless.
