The four day meeting has attracted visitors in their droves, and many thousands return year after year
Cheltenham hotel prices have rocketed up by 200% for the Festival as punters flock to the Cotswolds for the jump racing bonanza. The four day meeting has attracted visitors in their droves, and many thousands return year after year.
But in recent years rising costs have contributed to a decline in attendances with some fans cutting the number of days they attend and others not coming at all. Punters’ biggest gripe is the staggering cost of accommodation around Cheltenham, a week when many hotels, B&Bs and guest houses, will put their prices up.

According to the results of the analysis a 5-night Cheltenham stay on Booking.com costs on average £3,287.91, which is 204.15% more than the week before the festival and 232.38% more than the week after the festival. A 5-night Cheltenham stay on Airbnb costs on average £1,717.36, which is 191.44% more than the week before the festival and 177.62% more than the week after the festival. When Booking.com & Airbnb data are combined together, an average 5-night Cheltenham stay costs £2,502.63 which is 199.66% more than the week before the festival and 211.31% more than the week after the festival On Wednesday the cheapest option on Airbnb is a private double room in a house 15 miles from the Cheltenham racecourse for £234, meanwhile, the most expensive option on Airbnb is a private room with an ensuite bathroom in a house 1.5 miles from the track for £6,385 The cheapest option on Booking.com for the Cheltenham festival is an apartment 15 miles away for £667 and the most expensive is an entire 6-bedroom house 2 miles from the course for £17,870.
