Badger Towers Review

Badger Towers, 133 Hales Road, Cheltenham GL52 6ST. Tel: 01242 522583. Web: http://www.badgertowers.co.uk/Badger Towers Hotel
Bed and Breakfast in Cheltenham
Big hotels are all very well, but are not for all of us. The idea of a cosy, traditional B&B is very appealing and when you find a real corker like Badger Towers it’s as though you’ve found buried treasure.
You’ll find Badger Towers just a short walk from the town centre on Hales Road. It provides off street parking and a very warm welcome. Peter and Claire are perfect hosts and the Towers feels very much like a home. There is a charming sitting room for guests that is perfect for relaxing and a nice and bright breakfast room.
This is a lovely large Victorian Villa with plenty of original features all very apparent in the surprisingly large bedrooms which are all ensuite. We really were delighted at the standards here, are all B&Bs meant to be this nice? The rooms are tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean, with superbly comfortable beds. The bathrooms are very much good hotel standard with modern fittings.
Needless to say the eponymous badgers are everywhere, one in each room and they pop up in cabinets and chairs. All have their own personality and we loved them. Ask Peter to tell you the story of Badger Towers and how it got it’s name, we won’t give the game away.
Now a B&B is bed and breakfast, so ‘What about the breakfast bit ?’ you may ask. Claire uses local produce, and the tomatoes are fresh and the Gloucester Old Spot Sausages (from her secret supplier) are very, very yummy. My husband is chief Full English taster ( I can’t quite do big breakfasts) and he was a very happy chappie. I settled on Mrs Badger’s homemade marmalade and toast, just perfect. We got a paper too.
All in all a truly good B&B and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Ask Peter to point you in the direction of the good foodie pub down the road, well worth the visit. Badger Towers, comfy, cosy, elegant and a home from home. You could join the smart Sett and stay at Badger Towers too.Reviewed by Elizabeth Jordan
