10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful 2 day stay. The hotel is a bit understaffed but the small team were very guest centered with the same staff checking you in, helping with bags, serving dinner then tending the bar late into the night. Always at hand to make your stay comfortable and easy. Wonderful conversationalists. The location is excellent and within easy driving distances of other Cotswold villages. Be sure to take the approximately 2 hour walk to Upper Slaughter and back in the early morning on the Wardens Trail before the small crowds arrive to see the Mill. Remember to close the gates! The restaurant serves beautiful and delicious food and wine. Would revisit instantly given an opportunity."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Cheltenham

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Cheltenham on a budget is a great value for money, especially during the months of January, February, and December when hotel prices might drop to lower prices. To take in the town's rich cultural heritage and historical landmarks, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal. During your visit, immerse yourself in the local small-town charm through sightseeing, friendly people, guided tours, and enjoy cultural experiences such as musicals, jazz, and visits to historic gardens.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: You may discover the best hotel deals in Cheltenham by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com. For those seeking minute hotel deals in Cheltenham, the Last-Minute Deals area could offer options close to your travel date. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool on the app is a handy resource to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you stay updated on any room availability and price drops. Enable email alerts or push notifications to be among the first to learn of flash sales and other opportunities to book a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a better deal on your stay in a Cheltenham hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
