The Prestbury House

This 300-year-old large country guest house is in gardens and grounds beside Cheltenham Race Course, with en suite rooms, outstanding breakfasts and a location close to some of Cheltenham's best restaurants and bars.

Just 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from central Cheltenham, Prestbury House has clear views of the Cotswold countryside, including nearby Cleeve Hill, the regions highest point.

With croquet on the lawns in summer, and log fires in winter, Prestbury House mixes traditional relaxation with more modern facilities. Flat-screen HD TVs (with SKY) are in every bedroom and there is free Wi-Fi access throughout.

Opposite is an award-winning restaurant, the Royal Oak, dating back to the 17th century.

Rated by both the AA and Visit Britain as a 4-star Guest Accommodation, the Grade II listed Prestbury House keeps the feel of an historic private home. Each room is different, with family photos, pictures and many stories to tell.

Hotel information

The Capel family lived at Prestbury House for 300 years, before the current owners bought the house and turned it into a hotel. With a rich history, the house was famous during the English Civil War and has a few ghost stories to keep you entertained.

Prestbury House has Category 1 Access status, with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor (there is no lift).

Highland Cattle and Golden Guernsey Goats wander the hotel grounds. You can watch them either from the hotel garden or the rear car park.

The car park is large and secure, and there are even full facilities for up to 3 aircraft - just in case you want to bring your helicopter!

Food & beverage

A traditional English breakfast is cooked to order (allow 15 minutes) and can be taken either in the Georgian Room or the Oak Room. On weekdays, breakfast is served from 07:00 to 09:00. On weekends and public holidays it is served from 08:00 to 10:00.

Although separate from the hotel, Prestbury House has strong links with the Royal Oak restaurant, which is just 50 metres from the main house. Here you will find an evening lounge, bar and award-winning restaurant.

Alternatively, there are around 35 restaurants within 1.5 (2.4 km) of the house, as well as Cheltenham’s many pubs and clubs.

Room information

The 14 rooms at Prestbury House are split between the main house and its 400-year-old coach house. All have en suite bathrooms.

Whilst all have the same modern comforts, each room is different and personal, as you would expect from a family home.

Area information

Cheltenham Racecourse is on the doorstep and the shop, theatres and nightlife of Cheltenham is a few minutes’ drive away.

Behind the hotel is the village of Prestbury. Just half a mile (800 metres) away is Cleeve Hill. At 300 metres (1000 feet), it is the highest point in the Cotswolds and has access to the Cotswold Way path.
