We came to Cheltenham Racecourse in preference to the seaside because of bad weather and it was perfect. The park and ride to Cheltenham is a few minutes from the site and stops in the town centre with its shops, restaurants, museums and cinemas. The centre is also within 20 minutres walking distance. We could also catch buses to various towns around such as Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud etc. The weather perked up at one stage and our grandson enjoyed Pitville Park with its rides, lake, boating, skateboarding and huge open areas, not to mention its beautiful trees which make perfect hide-aways. The staff on site are friendly and helpful, altogether a perfect stay.
