Amazing host, great location, tasty breakfast
We felt very welcome by the host who was happy to offer tips on what to do in the town. We came for the Science Festival and the location was great (also for other Cheltenham festivals) with the main venues nearby. The town centre was also close, so great also for a walk around the town. The room we booked (small double with shared bathroom) was, as in the name, small but comfy and sharing the bathroom was working well, as it was shared only with a person staying in a single room (and having a sink in the room also helped). Breakfast was very tasty and the host was happy to chat. Highly recommended and thank you for warm welcome!

Friendly, clean and modern in a great location
Benton's is ideally located a 5 minute walk from the town centre. The owner met us on arrival and showed us to the room, which was clean and tidy with a large comfy bed, TV, tea and coffee, and an en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was tasty and freshly cooked to order.
I'd happily stay here again.

Fantastic find in Cheltenham
Dont be put off by the unprepossessing exterior, you will get a fantastic welcome and the rooms are large, and comfortable and clean. Both rooms I booked were ensuite. Breakfast was wonderful. The chap who looks after you is charming, extremely helpful, and nothing appears to be too much trouble. Felt like very good value too . I would highly recommend it !

Well situated accommodation
Christian was very welcoming and helpful. I had a room on the back which was very quiet. Spacious room, plenty of instant hot water in the bathroom. Breakfast was very good indeed. Christian was most obliging with requests for alternative or additional items. Easy walk into the town. Plenty of excellent eateries within a short distance

Nice guest house in the Cotswolds
I had an extra day after a workshop and I stayed at this pleasant and very affordable guest house. The room was large and has its own bathroom with shower (but oddly no shower curtain). The proprietor, Christian, runs everything himself, and is cheery helpful guy. It was a nice change just to arrive and get into the room and leave by just giving the key back, without the normal hassle of checking in and out.

Friendly and accommodating
Website advised check in after 2pm but we had a wedding at 12pm, rang and asked if we could at least get keys before. Manager advised to give him 45min to prepare and let us check in early so didn't have to get changed in a services and leave wedd to check in. Really friendly and tidy enough. Great for the money paid.

A handsome host, nice breakfat
An old traditional building, my room upper floor was small which suits me with small baggage. Double bed comfortable. Facing the street noise is inevitable plugged my ears. Toilet flushes strongly.

Ideal for the Cheltenham Festivals
Great place to stay for the Cheltenham Festivals. Beautiful and comfortable room at a very reasonable rate. Breakfast was tasty and prepared me for the day ahead. Have stayed in several B&B in Cheltenham over the years and this was the best yet.

City break
We stayed at Bentons B&B for a 2 night city break. Whilst we turned up early before our room was ready, it was no trouble for us to leave our bags there before going out to explore. When we came back later checking in was easy and Christian was very helpful and friendly. We were given a front door key so that we could come and go as we pleased. Christian provided us with plenty of suggestions as to places where we could eat out, and also places to visit, and he cooks a fab full English breakfast each morning if that's what you like! The room was spacious and spotless with an ensuite showeroom, and whilst on road parking near the guest house is metered, a 5 or 10 minuute walk provides free on road parking. It is only a 5 to 10 minute strole into town, and there is plenty to do within walking distance without having to use the car. There are several parks and we particularly enjoyed walking round the Montpelier district which has lovely shops and plenty of choices for eating out. We had a very enjoable few days and would definitely stay at Bentons again if we came back to Cheltenham. Great value for money. Thank you Christian for your hospitality.

Fantastic place. Very clean, tidy, warm if you like it that way, and Christian (the owner?) went above and beyond, he was so generous and welcoming. Breakfast is a good continental, the place is easy to find, and street parking was simple, too. Hope to return!

Good place to stay in central Cheltenham
Bentons is a fine place to stay - right in the middle of Cheltenham, a beautiful Regency town. Within a few minutes walk of Cheltenham Ladies College and Cheltenham College. Also very close to lovely residential areas and parks. The Guesthouse has been running for around 20 years - it's not what you'd call trendy but it's homely and comfortable. Good breakfast. Would stay there again.
