Cheltenham Racing Accommodation

The Cheltenham Festival 2027 is expected to take place over four thrilling days in March 2027, culminating in the Gold Cup. It is the highlight of the racing calendar with the finest horses, jockeys and trainers competing. The event offers spectators an amazing atmosphere and plenty of classic sporting moments, with over 260,000 excited fans across the festival and circa £4.5 million of prize money up for grabs. The Cheltenham racecourse itself has been described as ‘the greatest racecourse in the world’.

Why Stay in a Cotswolds Holiday Cottage for the Cheltenham Festival

Many visitors choose to stay just outside Cheltenham during race week, where charming Cotswold villages offer a more relaxed and spacious alternative to busy town hotels. A Cotswold holiday cottage provides the perfect base to unwind after a day at the races, whether that means enjoying a celebratory drink with friends, cooking a leisurely supper or simply relaxing beside a roaring fire.

Our carefully selected cottages are located across some of the Cotswolds’ most picturesque villages, many within easy reach of the racecourse, allowing you to enjoy the excitement of the festival while retreating to the peace and beauty of the countryside.

Planning Your Cheltenham Festival Stay

Race week is one of the most vibrant times of the year in Cheltenham, with visitors travelling from across the UK and Ireland to experience the excitement of this iconic sporting event. Many guests choose to make a long weekend or full week of their stay, combining the racing with time spent exploring the beautiful Cotswold countryside, local pubs and market towns.

Our Cheltenham Festival cottages are ideal for groups of friends, couples or families looking to enjoy the races together while having space and comfort to return to at the end of each day. Find out more about where to stay during Cheltenham Festival in our Cotswold guide.
