We were excited to renew our 5 Bubbles for 2024, having previously achieved the fantastic rating in 2021, and meeting the same expectations in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
Here at Ellenborough Park, our countryside grounds and historic architecture sweeps you off your feet. Hotel Guests, Spa Guests and Local Residents all visit our beautiful Hotel & Spa for grounds that are steeped in history and immersed in peaceful nature. Boasting 5 stars with a 90-acre estate, Ellenborough Park is nestled between the Cotswolds’ highest point and the gallops of Cheltenham Racecourse, featuring a private track leading to Cheltenham Racecourse, offering luxurious and convenient transfers during racing seasons.
Entering through our doors leads you to escape and unwind in an oasis of tranquility, a cosy spa with our members of staff who are passionate about providing relaxation. No Spa is complete without a picturesque entrance, and we love watching nature change with the seasons from our glass archway. It is easy to be enticed by our history and amazed at the beautiful views of the Cotswold’s from our Spa.
The word ‘Spa’ comes from a Latin phrase translating to ‘Health through water’, and Cheltenham is a historical spa town. The special waters were discovered in 1716, with the water being rich in minerals, it was said to be beneficial to one’s health. These waters also merited a visit from King George III in 1788, during which time Ellenborough Park (then a residential property known as Southam House) notably hosted the King. Further details concerning this can be found in the link for supporting evidence in the email accompanying this nomination. Coming back to modern day, you can enjoy our spa waters within our thermal facilities or transport yourself within the picturesque Spa Garden Retreat. Make the most of sunshine and enjoy our Outdoor Heated Pool, a secluded area complete with sun loungers and heated waters, perfect for enjoying a cocktail in the Summer.
Our Spa is filled with calming and historic artefacts, alongside ambient lighting to ensure your experience is fulfilling, and our candlelit hallway guides you to our Treatment rooms. Our Spa is also situated in a fantastical fairytale tower that transports you to a place of enriching surroundings, allowing you to escape your worries. Ellenborough Park Spa is one of a kind, with an indulgent experience promised, providing an exclusive getaway for hotel and outside guests who need the perfect Cotswold’s escape.
