Badminton is always a highlight of the eventing season, so if you’re looking to make the most of the spring five-star by staying close by, check out our comprehensive list of hotels near Badminton Horse Trials, including guest houses, B&Bs and self-contained accommodation.

This year Badminton Horse Trials runs from 6–10 May and accommodation in the local area will book up well in advance, so I suggest booking as early as possible – tickets for Badminton are already on sale. Many visitors drive up the night before and find somewhere to stay a short drive away, so that you can get a good night’s rest and beat the traffic in the morning.
