An inexpensive overnight stay here on a non EHU pitch proved to be a good choice. Most of the non EHU pitches are down by the rails so have an excellent view over the race course and the Cotswolds escarpment. There are also glimpses of the newly opened popular steam railway running from a nearby station (easy walking distance) where the train runs to Broadway.The race course itself is immaculate and the site is well away from traffic but expect noise on race days. There is a good park nearby with the old pump rooms where you can walk to town or easily catch a bus. Cheltenham is very pleasant but we missed out on seeing it this time. Spacious facilities on site although the motorhome emptying point is small and awkward. The site isn't easy for dog owners as it's well inside the race course but for a short stop we managed.
First visit here, stopped over one night on 17th May before moving on to Somerset. Arrived late afternoon to be stopped by race course security checking that we were Club members and not Travellers which set the tone somewhat! We were expecting a carpark but surprised that most pitches slopped in two directions and then we had to hunt the hook up. Shower and toilets clean but old, basic and draughty. No wifi available. Don’t think we will choose to return.
Comment from the Club:
Thank you for your review and we are sorry to read you did not enjoy your stay. We wanted to advise that the travellers on the adjacent car park are no longer there. With regards to your feedback about the site this has been forwarded to the Sites Operations team. We hope that you do come back to visit again soon as Cheltenham Racecourse is in a superb location just one and half miles from Cheltenham town and there is regular transport into town via the park and ride. The site is also just a short walk away from the GWST steam train station and, as you can see from previous reviews, has often been complimented for its clean facilities, friendly site staff and fantastic views.
