The property was easy to reach, in a great location and extremely clean. We had a party at the racecourse and I needed to leave super early in the morning. The property was right on the racecourse, which meant I didn't need to walk far at all. it was secure and quiet. thank you

Good budget accommodation, clean and quiet.
Access was a bit difficult, could not drive up to the front door, parking at the rear of the building it a bit of a walk to get to the door.

cleanliness - cannot fault - cleaner than many costly hotels stayed in
location
price
ease of check in
no light in car park - as lone female traveller felt unsafe pulling into car park and unloading car or walking to car in dark as no light.
I am not sure if there is usually one that comes on but none during my stay.
Did not feel safe -> on two occasions the main door found on the latch and unable to confirm if cctv within Hunters lodge.
When security asked about making contact if any issue, clearly told by them they have nothing to do with Hunters lodge they just give out the key.
One evening walked to lounge area to find a man sat in the dark on the sofa. I rushed back to room and never went back to lounge.
It is such a shame because it is clean and perfect location and price but did not feel safe unless in room with door locked because of lack of security (lights did not always come on when walked down corridor, no light in car park, man sat in the dark in the lounge area, no dedicated number to call if needed help). Perfect if not female, lone traveller.
On my arrival as walked down corridor looking for room another lady came out of her room crying and asked if I was staff. I explained I was staying and looking for room. She was not aware that Hunters Lodge was not a hotel with reception staff and she told me she was scared and felt very unsafe as had seen a man but no other 'guests'. she was too scared to go to bathroom alone.
I knew what to expect in terms of room set up, shared bathroom and that basic but I also did not feel safe to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
I think if both CCTV was visible and I knew I could phone security I would have felt safer and that the CCTV would act as a deterrent.
If I was staying with someone I would think it perfect but as a lone female traveller would not feel safe to stay again and so would not be a first choice.

This is actually inside Cheltenham race course and is one of the rooms that the staff use during race weekends. Basic but very functional and lovely and quiet! Staff very kindly sent back my AirPods in the post after I left them in the room.
No complaints at all.

Really comfortable and great set up for short stays.
Everything was exceptionally clean, but the only downside was one of the female showers didn’t drain properly.

8.0 / 10.0
The primary purpose of the property is to provide accommodation for stablehands on race days. So, it’s basic but functional and VERY clean. The town centre is a pleasant 20 minute walk away. Good for attending events at the Centaur next door if you're not on expenses!
Its hard to fussy when its so inexpensive but the room was a bit stuffy on a warm autumn evening.

The place is VERY clean and smells nice. It looks like it was renewed. It has everything you need for a short stay. There is a sink in the room, a mirror with hot and cold water that is very convenient . There's a kettle, a cup, tea bags and sugar in the room, I was very glad to find them. And the view from the window was very beautiful (Cotswolds hills). The location is very good as well. The lodge is near the park with a lake where you can feed swans and squirrels (if you don't hate gray squirrels 😅)
I stayed there in summer and it was hot in the room. There's no conditioning.

It was cheap
After booking a paying my room days in advance I arrived at 10 pm and the security guy just told me there was no key left with my name.
He rudely told me I had to call the property and they had no number. I tired to phone with no avail, sent two emails.
Called booking call center but they could not get in contact with property.
At 11 pm a lady came and handed me room keys.
Room was unbereably hot, since window could not be opened for more than a couple inches at the bottom, I kept sweating all night long and could not get some fresh air inside.
I couldn't sleep at all.
Horrible experience
7.0 / 10.0
Room was a reasonable size, close enough to the facilities. There was ample tea and coffee, and the room was clean and nicely decorated. The lounge and facilities were clean and comfortable, and there was a nice atmosphere in the property.
It was a very hot time, and there wasn't a fan or similar in the room, it made it almost unbearable to stay there. In fact I didn't have a second night at the property because of this. The tv also didn't work in the room.

3.0 / 10.0
Clean, great view, cheap
Shared bathrooms, revolting. Shower was like something out of a horror movie - having to press the button every 20 seconds to continue showering? Abysmal. Expected a lot from a hotel situated in the racecourse- in hindsight the price highly reflects the quality. Non existent check in process, thrown some keys by a security guard. No mug for tea or coffee in the room either, no facilities for my morning cereal so had to go without. Absolute robbery to charge anything for something that felt like being in a prison!!
