Cotswolds Where do people stay...

Hi mate, i live local.....it depends if you are driving to the course or using public transport to be honest...yes Broadway is beautiful

Bourton on the water is amazingly beautiful but if you are after a good selection of restaurants and bars with plenty of hotels i would recommend Burford

Stow On The Wold

I really love getting out of Cheltenham for the Festival week. Stayed in the town once - never again. Much prefer the Cotswolds, Malvern or Cirencester

Witney in my house

Cheltenham near the football ground for the last four years, before that stow, Tewkesbury winchcombe Gloucester and Bristol oh and Worcester, wouldn't have it any other way now, yes you pay a bit more but save loads of time on the travelling. Can't beat being 15 minutes to the course and far enough away from the town centre.

Kings Head. Ross on Wye about 25 miles away a lovely place.

Indeed it is storm mate. Had a cracking Sunday roast there a few weeks ago.

Have stayed in wood stanway broadway winchcombe eastcombe  chipping camden all for years at each loction
There is one decent pub in Broadway we found the rest a bit posh.
Winchcombe has a bit more variety and closer too the course eastcombe too far away chipping camden the same your best bet is to get a farmhouse in and around winchcombe broadway that will sort out travel for you good luck !

Found Pubs in Broadway ok suppose you got to mind your P's & Q's ....more mature crowd.....

Stayed Cirencester one year place called Smerill Barns was very nice ........tad far out mind

Is there much up on Cleve Hill

Cleeve Hill golf club

Stayed in Evesham last year which wasn't too bad and cheap.
But decided to stay in cheltenham this year. Ridiculously expensive though and I booked in august. Might even have to book for next year now.

Remember going on a school Rugby tour there, when I was 15/16, and thought it was a quite a nice place.

I'd stashed a load of booze that I'd gotten from my old man's club, and we all got smashed after the game on the Saturday. Got grassed up, and that was the last away trip I had that year

I say this every year, if I couldn't get accommodation in Bishops Cleeve I`d be seriously considering giving it a miss.Great location, walk out of course the throngs all heading into cheltenham, we hop on a bus outside the track thats not even busy, 2 mins later in Kings Head, get a few fun punts on the champions league, never had any trouble and met lots of good people.

Always stay at the Holiday Inn Express in centre of town.  Walking distance to course and nightlife after racing.  £399 per night is not cheap though.

That's where I was going to stay as looks the best location as thats where i parked last year but I couldn't pay so much knowing how much it would be any other week.

£399 a night?!

Going to say, you want a bird thrown in for that

Escort for the day? I'd want a Merc at least.
