If you're travelling alone vb lots of b&b acommodation available via the Tourist Information Board. If there are a few of you, then renting a house/flat might be a better option - look at the ads in the Racing Post. I know lots of people who go to the Festival stay out of town but the craic is better if you stay here.

If there are 3 or 4 of you try for a cottage through 'country cottages' or the like.
Last year it wasn't a sell out like normal. |

The ever reliable Liz Coe will sort you out. Her name and contact details should be 'pinned' at the top of this forum forever!

Really eastayrshire?
Fair do's but she's always been an absolute godsend for me. |
|
By:
Yeah she sounded really nice, plausible and helpful, but didn't respond or call back despite assuring me she would.
|
|
By:
Ah!
With me it's never got to the stage of having to call or write back since she's always sorted me out right away over the phone. |

Bristol is always an option, get a hotel close to the station for a 1/3 of the cheltenham hotel price and its only 40 mins away.

have stayed at the abbey in great malvern (they run coach to/from races which is always handy) and the cotswold water park four pillars and stratton house in cirencester which on a good day is about an hour from the racecourse - all three are recommended not sure about availability/price

we d stayed gloucester last year, into chelt on bus, taxi back from the queens 3am £20 quid i think, not bad between 4
|
|
By:
It is what it is...if you want to look at the prices of hotels around Cheltenham area you'll find it's around £250 per night for starters.
The £200 on Simonsig at 3-1 will cover it I would imagine |
|
By:
In fact change of plan...make that £308 at New County Hotel for 2 nights.

£45 per night, B&B (fantastic breakfast) in Bishops Cleeve for the last 10 years or so. Sorted!

Stay in Brum! We're at the city centre premier inn, 5 mins to the station, then 40 mins on the train to chelts, £30 per night each. Stick around in cheltenham for a bit afterwards to avoid the queues for the train, then get back in Brum in time for a curry!
