Royal Ascot Racecourse

Myself and my partner stayed at Stirrups Country House Hotel last year during ascot week. The reason we chose to stay in Stirrups Country House Hotel was because it was very close to the Ascot racecourse and the hotel was more personal and to a higher standard that your usual chain hotel.

Once we arrived we were greeted by really friendly staff that explained to us everything about the hotel and also showed us to our room. We had quite a few luggage but the front of house team willingly helped us with our bags which was a very nice surprise. We stayed in total for 3 nights. The breakfast every morning was delicious and freshly cooked. Even if the hotel seemed to be fully booked the reception always managed to book us a taxi which arrived promptly even if we usually booked it at a short notice. The taxi journey was around 20 minutes to ascot racecourse which wasn’t too bad. We really enjoyed the location of the hotel as it was set in a beautiful countryside and myself and my partner enjoyed having meals outside in the evenings.

We also really enjoyed our little walks in the manicured gardens of the hotel and one very cute feature was the little pond with the different types of fishes. I would definitely recommend to come and stay at Stirrups if you want a pleasurable stay and something different than your usual hotel. The staff were really friendly and the room we stayed was of a high standard. Also the hotel accommodation was reasonably priced for Ascot week. You will not be disappointed.

Hotels in Bracknell

---

When we received an invite to our friends Golden Wedding Anniversary celebrations at their house in Bracknell in a few months time, we had a brainwave to do a little bit of research about Hotels in Bracknell, to save us the journey back home late at night after the party. We didn't want to ask to stay at our friends as they already had a large family, so a Hotel was our only option. We wanted to stay in a Hotel that was close enough to the centre of Bracknell so that we would be able to get taxis to and from the party without huge expense, and also in a nice location outside of town so we could have a peaceful weekend away from home at the same time. Living in the city, this is a rare opportunity. 

After staying in many Hotels in Bracknell due to a great deal of my business travel being situated in the Bracknell area, I already had a good idea of the range of different Hotels in Bracknell and none of which really suited the cosy, small and homely Hotel we had in mind for our visit. However, we soon came across Stirrups Country House Hotel. Due to Stirrups Country House Hotel not being a chain Hotel, it has not been somewhere I had stayed before due to my company always picking the big corporate hotels. The location was perfect! Less than a 10 minute taxi journey into Bracknell Town Centre and with someone at Stirrups all night, there was no rush to end our celebrations early in fear we would be locked out! The location of Stirrups Country House Hotel also meant we could end our weekend away with a lovely visit to Windsor Castle the next day (and a spot of shopping for my Wife!). The location, cosy atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff definitely makes Stirrups a top choice. When returning to Bracknell on business travel next, I shall definitely request Stirrups as my top choice when staying at Hotels in Bracknell. The home from home feel at Stirrups would definitely make the Hotel a top choice for Business customers travelling away from home regularly, I'm sure. My wife and I shall definitely recommend to family, friends and colleagues.
