Adults-only inn with spacious super king rooms and on-site Circus Bar in Cheltenham's Montpellier area

Rooms

Each room offers a large light space with a super king bed and private bathroom equipped with a hairdryer, free toiletries, and a shower. Electric kettles with complimentary tea and coffee are provided, and the room has no TV - a design choice noted by several guests as refreshing. The oversized bed uses soft bedding, and the hosts provide earplugs on each bedside table for potential early morning traffic noise.

Bar & On-site Facilities

The Circus Bar operates on the ground floor of the inn, serving a range of drinks from the brewery and offering a cosy, friendly atmosphere. The bar is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but guests can still access the inn via a bar manager who hands over keys. The bar is soundproofed from the guest rooms, so no noise from the bar is heard upstairs.

Location

The inn is located in Cheltenham's Montpellier area, opposite a park and within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and shops. Kingsholm Stadium and Gloucester Cathedral are 13 km away, while Cotswold Water Park is 32 km and Broadway Tower is 32 km. Birmingham Airport is 77 km from the property; Sudeley Castle is 13 km and the Royal Shakespeare Company is 49 km.

Host & Guest Services

The inn is run by hosts Katie and Frankie, who provide recommendations for local dining and attractions and respond to early check-in requests. The reception staff speak English, and check-in and check-out are described as easy by guests. Communication with the host is handled via phone or in person, and the hosts are noted for their welcoming and helpful manner.

Parking & Practical Notes

The inn does not offer on-site parking; street parking is available with a 2-4 hour maximum during the day, and overnight parking is free but requires moving by 8 a.m. For longer stays, a car park a 20-minute walk away is the recommended alternative. Guests arriving by car should plan accordingly, as no 24-hour parking is available directly outside the property.
