Hotels 1 to 4 in Newmarket, Suffolk

Cadogan Hotel - Housed within a 19th century building, steeped in character and history, this small famil-run hotel is ideally situated just 500 metres away from Newmarket's bustling High Street. In 1895, a gentleman of a rather dubious nature, known as Gordon Chetwynd, sold what was known then as Rutland Cottage to the 5th Earl of Cadogan. The Earl numbered amongst his closest friends Edward, Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII. Rumour has it that the king himself became a frequent visitor to the hotel and entertained the beautiful Lilly Langtry here. Secret passages are said to exist between Cadogan Hotel and the king's quarters at Palace House. Since taking over the hotel in October 2002, Kevin and Julie Reed have undertaken a continual improvement programme. The rooms, bar and restaurant have now been upgraded, with further improvements planned to help the Cadogan enhance its AA 3-star small hotel award.

The Rutland Arms Hotel - Once a coaching inn, this striking stone Georgian building today offers comfortable accommodation in the heart of Newmarket. Walk through the central archway into a secluded cobbled courtyard, once home stables and now an excellent spot to sit in fine weather. In the winter months, unwind beside open fires in any of the 3 rooms of the Nell Gywn bar and lounge. With excellent road access to the historic city of Cambridge and the stunning cathedral at Ely, a stay at the Rutland Arms can offer a glimpse of England's heritage.
