HERE IS SOME FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS.

So much easier!
We've been to Cheltenham many years previously, and while it is always great when we get there, the booking saga is always a nightmare. When we learned about Room to Race, we thought we'd give it a go and we were not disappointed! It was so much easier - our tickets, hotel and travel to the racecourse was booked all in one place! Will book again for sure.

Great festival as always.
Just back from another fantastic week at Cheltenham! A great festival as always.
I opted to book my hotel with Room to Race and got such a great deal, and added transfers as well so avoided the over-priced taxi's!

Everything booked together!
So glad I was told about Room to Race before booking my accommodation for Cheltenham this year! I was even able to get everything booked together. Great selection of hotels to pick from, and the staff I booked with answered all my questions quickly. After booking, I learned I could add transfers and hospitality all together which was excellent.

Well communicated.
The Room to Race team were great to deal with. I booked direct with them and was able to get a great deal on my hotel, and then at the festival the team were on hand with any other questions I had. Transfers all arrived and left on time, and any pick up changes were well communicated beforehand. Ready to book for 2026!
