Ellenborough Park 5.37

The fully restored and renovated 15th Century country estate boasts 61 fully-restored bedrooms and suites. All four open-plan and split-level suites are named after famous racehorses, including the Arkle Suite which features a private dining room for 12 guests.

All rooms feature flat screen HD TVs, personal safes that can accommodate laptops, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, iPod docking stations, luxury toiletries, bathrobes and slippers, minibars, air-conditioning, tea and coffee-making facilities, plus a separate seating and working area. Beds are made to Ellenborough Park’s own specifications by Hypnos, which supplies beds for the Royal Households.

Some rooms boast private patios with pool views, fabulous roll-top baths, four poster beds, original features and views of the racecourse. A handful of rooms feature binoculars on tripods so guests can see the finish line more clearly, while the Istabraq Suite even allows guests to watch races from the comfort of an exquisite roll top bath.

Rooms are located across four buildings, the original Main House, The Mews, Ellenborough Gate and the purpose built Woodland Court.
