The View: From Suite One at Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa, Newmarket
When staying in the heart of British horseracing, what better way to wake up from a restful night’s sleep than to open your curtains to the unique view of one of the most famous horseracing training grounds in the world.
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.
All suites come with a lounge area, giving you plenty of space to relax and unwind from your busy day.
Whilst Suite One offers a particularly exceptional view, many of their 1st and 2nd floor bedrooms also overlook these training grounds and share this unique outlook.
