Its position offers an easy stroll into Cheltenham, yet with parking included, the Joules Cafe, Bar & Restaurant provides a welcome culinary alternative. I noted the property has stylish lounge areas and a commitment to a comprehensive breakfast, making it ideal for both couples and families.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Clarence Court Hotel is often described as a beautiful, historic building located in a quiet square, just a few minutes' walk from Cheltenham's town centre, with a lovely little park opposite. Many guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some offering great views, and the convenience of having a restaurant, Forty5 the Square, on site with a good evening menu. The full English breakfast is another highlight, although a few guests have mentioned that the interior décor appears a little tired. Conveniently, the hotel also offers free car parking, making it great value for money.

Wonderful Stay at Quiet Spot

The staff greeted me warmly upon arrival and remained helpful throughout my stay. This. I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the town center, a short walk provided access to many shops.
The toilet seat in my room would not stay up without being held. This was inconvenient. the front steps were high. They posed a small challenge for me to navigate without assistance.
