Cheltenham Gold Cup Accommodation — A Calmer Way to Stay
Attending the Cheltenham Gold Cup? Stay just outside Cheltenham in comfort, with easy access to the races and peaceful evenings in the countryside.
During Cheltenham Festival week, accommodation in the town becomes scarce, expensive, and often disappointing. Many racegoers book whatever they can find — only to discover crowded hotels, noisy evenings, and overstretched restaurants.
After a full day at the races, that can take the shine off the experience.
