Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa

Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"An enjoyable stay. We were there for a week long break. We made full use of the swimming pool. Was never too busy. It is sometimes used fir kids swimming lessons but their area is roped off so no problem. Enjoyable breakfast. The sound proofing of the doors could be improved as there was a little noise from the corridors but that didn't spoil our stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for two nights as a stop over whilst going homeward. Wanted to have a look around the area. Room was small but adequate. Clean with en-suite shower. Ate in the dining area of the pub both nights and enjoyed the food. Informal but friendly service by all, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Recommend a walk to the canal and then the walk to Gloucester on the tow path. It’s well paved and flat and about three miles."
