After a pretty uncomfortable and noisy night at a Premier Inn I booked my 2nd night in Cheltenham at The Battledown. I usually only stay in hotels or Inns so booking into a B&B was a leap of faith. The welcome I received was 2nd to none. The quality of the room was 5 star - really nicely decorated, clean... More

We stayed two nights at the Battledown. Comfortable and beautiful home. The room was new, fresh and reasonable sized. Sarah and Simon are excellent hosts and served us an outstanding top-restaurant quality breakfast. We can highly recommend Battledown.

My family stayed at the Battledown over the May bank holiday weekend. It was an enjoyable experience and Sarah had been extremely helpful in accommodating us, including our 15-month old daughter. The rooms were reasonably sized and the en-suite facilities were spotless, with which we were particularly impressed. The breakfast was of superb quality and was served on a hot... More

First class from the time of arrival to the time you depart. A warm, friendly welcome; my single room was freshly and tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked, piping hot and delivered quickly. Simon and Sarah made me feel very at home; they had time to chat (some good advice about where to get the... More

Ample parking and a spacious,well tended gardens... More
