Named after the Battledown Estate – a 19th Century heritage housing estate that lies to the east of this guest house – the Battledown Bed and Breakfast provides modern accommodation in a Victorian setting. The grand and elegant villa was built in 1855 and is now owned by Simon and Sarah who along with their daughter, Isabella, aim to give travellers a warm welcome into their home. Cheltenham’s main high street is one-mile away and there is free parking available for guests.

Single, twin and double rooms are available and all are equipped with a HD television and Freeview, a DVD player, and free wireless Internet. Egyptian cotton bed linen and towels are provided, along with a hair-dryer, a desk and a chair.

Guests will find slippers and hot water bottles in the communal areas that are available for use.
