The St James Hotel, Cheltenham

Click on the images for a larger version

The St James Hotel is yet another Arkell's pub with railway connections, though the pub continues to thrive, long after the railway's heyday has passed. It was previously called The Railway Hotel and dated from the 19th century, but the station, which stood about 200 yards down the road, has long since closed. The hotel has been called The St James since 1966 and it was bought by Arkell's in 1991.

There is a skittle alley and a small dining room which makes a cosy venue for small dinner parties. Otherwise, visitors can choose from a selection of bar snacks.

It has nine bedrooms and its close proximity to the centre of Cheltenham means The St James is a busy hotel, but it is also a thriving pub with a wide appeal. Like all good pubs it has its share of locals, but visitors are just as welcome and workers from the nearby offices also make for the pub, especially at lunchtimes.
