If it is the centre of Gloucester you like and are wanting to stay, there are only really two hotels: I am assuming you want a licensed bar and are talking about March. They are the New Inn (as mentioned above) and the Station Hotel (which as you can guess is appropriately named). There are plenty of surrounding chain hotels, but would be some way out of the town, well too far to walk. |

after 25 ywars of going ,ross on wye ,is a good option.
1)gloucester is scruffy/s hi te 2)chelt is 4 day only double rate. 3)ross is 20/30 quid a night.- 35 min car journey. 4)irish pub,owners of pomeath(well summut like that) 5)st paddy day ,will max options. 6)given racing post is a daily newspaper,why does libraries block access to post site.technically its freedom of info problem. 7)do park at prince of wales stadium ,short walk to course. 8)dont go in tatts,grandstand or best mate, 9)dont attempt to get drunk ,too busy. |

Is KC'S still open in Gloucester.....had a few rough nites there...
|

By:
Ah yes TL - locally known as The Kennel Club. I'm afraid I haven't ventured to that part of town for some while (I know it closed about 18 months ago but think it re-opened as some sort of "club")
|
|
By:
A few good tales to tell about the Kennel Club definately needed to take a lead in there ....

do you like gloucester

By:
The Plough, Ford... a no brainer.
|
|
By:
Yeah The Plough at Ford is a great pub and efinitely worth a visit.
Think it's proably booked for the Festival but get a drink there before or after racing just for the atmosphere |

Put a word in for Malvern for the festival.
Stayed there last year and everyone said it would be dead. How wrong can you get. Plenty of great pubs nearby (e.g The Walter de Cantelupe in Kinsey) easy run into the course (45 minutes tops even on Gold Cup Day), coupe of decent curry houses, outstanding countryside. I'm already booked in for 2011. |

if you dont care about quality,and want cheap,the bristol hotel(i think its called that )on bristol rd,
i think gloucester is a horrible place - a dump,is dead,even in festival week,it suffers from council spend money on chelt and forget glous. |
