This year if you want to enjoy all that Royal Ascot (Tuesday 16 to Saturday 20 June) has to offer – both the on-course action and the glamorous social scene away from the racecourse – then there’s no better place to stay than the four-star Coppid Beech Hotel located just a 15 minute drive away from the track.

The premier event of the racing year is one of the highlights of the hotel’s annual calendar, and hoards of race goers return year after year to enjoy all that’s on offer. “We love Royal Ascot time at the hotel – there’s always a real buzz of glamour and excitement in the air,” said Alan Blenkinsopp, Operations Director. “And as we’re proud to accommodate celebrities, trainers, owners and BBC racing commentators you’re odds on for spotting some famous faces.”
