Luxury accommodation near Royal Ascot
Exuding elegance, and amazing hats, racegoers trot gracefully down to the posts for this glamorous annual equine event, panning out over five exciting days in June.
Thanks to Queen Anne, who correctly surmised that Ascot was a bit of prime flat land that would make a truly awesome race ground, the venue has been home to race events for the last 300 years. Alongside a daily Royal Procession, energetic bandstand singing and world-class racing, there are food and drink outlets selling everything from Champagne to hot dogs, and a range of events for children like face-painting and pony rides. Book one of our luxury self-catering cottages near Ascot and enjoy having an off-site base for recharging in comfort and style.
Thanks to its handy location just to the west of London, and not far from Heathrow Airport and several major train stations, Ascot is easily accessible to visitors all dressed up to the nines. The dress code invites guests to go for an individual yet stylish look, and there are detailed guidelines for each enclosure. Having designer headgear has long been a crucial part of the Royal Ascot look; expect to see sprigs and stems, angled toppers and elegant fascinators, but don’t forget to keep your peepers peeled to the track when the horses get the go-ahead!
