Through the copse of beautifully tall trees, you will see the lush green paddocks beside the post and rail exercise ring where the young racehorses and their jockeys warm up before heading off to the main training gallops close by. With pods of horse walkers and stables dotted around this training facility, there is plenty to see, and you never know you might spot the next Guineas winner.
Suite One can be found in the original Georgian hunting lodge which dates back to the 18th century, one of six luxury Executive Suites available at Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa.
