There are many layers of history at Ellenborough Park and those are made known by the natural cosiness of the property, from the roaring stone fireplaces that ward off any feeling of the approaching wintertime and the centuries of oak beams that line the ceilings. Intricate stained glass also adorns the hotel, with artefacts and artwork sporting a suitable equine theme.
Ellenborough Park, although traditional, has a modern approach to its spa facilities. Book in for a treatment and enjoy the ‘Escape & Unwind’ package which includes a 55-minute Elemis facial or body massage designed to help guests reach peak relaxation during their stay.
