Where to stay in Alstone
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Rooms in Alstone are Cheltenham's rooms. The district is a stretch of the town rather than a resort in itself, so a visitor books in Cheltenham and treats Alstone as the part of the walk that takes in The Wilson and St Peter's Church. Everything sits within a walk.
You want Alstone if the day is built around Arle Court House and the parish churches rather than around the town's own centre.

About Alstone
What are the main landmarks in Alstone?
The Wilson leads Alstone's list. Six dedications follow it, St Gregory's Church, Christ Church, St Barnabas Church, St Peter's Church, the Church of St Matthew and Bayshill Unitarian Church, which makes the district's register more ecclesiastical than anything else. Houses fill the remainder.
Arle Court House, Cheltenham Great House, Fauconberg House and Shaftesbury Hall carry the secular half of the roll, and Iveagh House and Vittoria House sit beside them on the same list of named addresses.
What is the history of Alstone?
Alstone's first years left no paper trail. Its past is legible only through the buildings that carried into the register, with Cheltenham Great House and Arle Court House among them and Shaftesbury Hall standing beside the run of parish dedications. Cheltenham's register adds nothing more.
Nothing in the entry dates a charter, a works or an estate, so the district's history is told by St Gregory's Church, Christ Church and the Church of St Matthew rather than by any document fixing a year.
Where is Alstone?
Gloucestershire holds Cheltenham, Cheltenham holds Alstone, and inside that second boundary sit Arle Court House, Christ Church and the Church of St Matthew.
