Ellenborough Park Hotel
Ellenborough Park Hotel, Country house hotel in Southam, England
Ellenborough Park Hotel is a 61-room country house hotel positioned at the base of Cleeve Hill, built with towers, turrets, and walls of local Cotswold stone. The property includes two restaurants, a heated outdoor pool, and a spa with treatment rooms, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam facilities.
The building was constructed in the 15th century as Southam House and became the residence of the Earl of Ellenborough during the 1830s, when Gothic architectural additions were made. These additions remain visible in the building's exterior today.
Original Tudor features remain visible inside, including exposed oak beams, colored tile floors salvaged from Hailes Abbey, and wood-paneled walls throughout the rooms. These elements shape how the interior feels when you walk through it.
The property sits on 36 hectares near Cheltenham Racecourse and is easy to spot due to its distinctive stone architecture. Be prepared for the expansive grounds, which take time to explore comfortably.
The hotel names its luxury suites after celebrated racehorses, connecting the property to the equestrian traditions of the nearby Cheltenham Racecourse. This naming choice reflects how important horse racing has been to the local region.
