Hey all.
Hopefully be back posting come the start of the jumps season, i just cant get into the flat.

Anyhow, got myself some tickets to go Cheltenham 2022 for the first time. Anyone point me in the right direction of places to stay. Dont mind commuting in from a neighbouring town/city, but completely refuse to pay £200+ for a nights accommodation.

Ill be with the Mrs, so somewhere nice enough. Anyone any recommendations? Cheers. Even places like Birmingham have doubled the prices for a nights stay that week.

Hi Double J - I stayed in Bristol in 2013. A 45-minute journey, and cost about £50 a night in a Premier Inn.

Thanks, that was were i was thinking, but my ventures outside the north of England are somewhat limited unless Im watching football.
 
I stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of cheltenham last time I went up there, they had a free shuttle bus to the course and I don’t recall it being too expensive - I’ll see if I can remember what it was called…

Or

Not too far away and pretty reasonable. I booked here for last year but didn’t go in the end - I’ll see if that is still available if I can remember which one it is!


It wasn’t this one - but https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/4934...on_id=p3_1628430678_C8wfVTWLwZzb0a0Z&guests=1. Available and £60 a night. Maisemore is a nice place :)

I spent the first 40 years of my life living in Birmingham, before moving to Surrey a few years ago and travelled by train for 20+ years to Cheltenham. Like Bristol, it’s roughly a 40 minute train journey and if you’re looking for decent priced accommodation there’s a hotel with nice rooms above a weatherspoons, called the Briar Rose which costs about £50 a night during that week and is literally a 5 minute walk and about 200 yards to the train station. I’d recommend it having stayed there numerous times when I pop back to see friends and family.

Stay close enough to get to the racecourse early Tuesday morning , 8am to see Irish horses work out or 8.40 for WPM batallion.
it will make your week, believe me.

Yes. And watching the horse boxes arriving and unloading. I miss that more than anything now that we no longer drive there.
 
If you stay in Bristol, feel free to PM me beforehand and I'll ping you some recommendations for food/drink.
 
Cheers for the reply guys.

Shes settled on some spa hotel in Bristol, got a jacuzzi in the room. Had to reluctantly agree as she isn’t the biggest fan of racing and is coming because I’ve literally no friends who like racing either.

She can actually sit and watch it with me now, and is getting to know horses trainers and jockeys. Hoping a full race day experience will convert her over.

Be my first festival, hoping it won’t be my last (though not a fan of the 5 day malarkey thats coming)

Thanks again
