The historic market town of Winchcombe is quite literally on your doorstep here, providing a host of amenities, must-sees and activities to suit guests of all ages, shapes and sizes:
Eating
With Winchcombe on your doorstep and the Cotswolds’ many market towns and villages just a short car ride away, you’re somewhat spoiled for choice when it comes to places to head to feed your appetite. For gourmet-hunters, Winchcombe’s 5 North Street is just a 5-minute stroll from the cottage, offering Michelin-starred seasonal dishes created by expert husband and wife team Gus and Kate. Michelin-recommended Wesley House is also just a 5-minute walk in Winchcombe’s town centre, offering exceptional cooking in the confines of a characterful 15th century house. For fans of more relaxed cuisine, The White Hart Inn on Winchcombe’s High Street offers tasty gastropub grub in relaxed, rustic-chic surroundings, as well as The Corner Cupboard Inn; a historic 15th Century Inn serving traditional fare, supposedly haunted by a 12-year-old girl! Just 10 minutes’ down the road by car, The Pheasant Inn at Toddington is a great choice for families or groups visiting the GWSR Steam Railway station next door, whilst The Royal Oak at Gretton offers an unbeatable pub garden; perfect for sunny afternoons when only a pub pint will do.
Walking
Winchcombe’s rolling countryside is a true walkers’ paradise, with options for casual, seasoned and hardy walkers running right from the cottage’s front door. Winchcombe itself is a “walkers are welcome” town, a special status awarded to towns and villages which go above and beyond with their walking amenities, making it a fantastic destination for groups in search of a walking break. The Winchcombe Way, a 42-mile figure-of-eight trail centred around the town, offers walkers a great way of discovering the surrounding Cotswold towns and villages section-by-section over the course of a stay, whilst there are plenty of options for those looking for a more casual, leisurely pace within a close radius of the cottage. We recommend the Sudeley Castle Circular walk for a relaxing stroll; a 2-mile loop; you can set off from the cottage's front door and into the grounds of historic Sudeley Castle – a must-visit for any guest. The 2 ½ mile walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow sat atop Cleeve Hill, is also a great walk to try from the doorstep, providing you don’t mind the incline.
Must-Sees
Sudeley Castle, historic home and resting place of Henry VIII’s last wife Katherine Parr, is situated just a short stroll from the cottage and is an absolute must-visit for guests. Offering plenty to keep all ages entertained, the beautiful grounds will satisfy garden-lovers and history buffs alike, whilst the adventure playground and acres of manicured lawns offer the perfect place for younger guests to stretch their legs. Cheltenham Racecourse, home of the world-famous Cheltenham Festival, is just a 15-minute drive and the perfect day out destination for racing fans, whilst Toddington’s GWSR Steam Railway (7-minute drive) offers a fantastic day on the rails for vintage locomotive enthusiasts. Further afield, history buffs have Blenheim Palace (1-hour drive) and Warwick Castle (1-hour drive) to explore, whilst Shakespeare’s birthplace, the medieval market town of Stratford-upon-Avon, is just 40 minutes by car. Families will love Cotswold Farm Park (15-minute drive) and the pretty Cotswold village of Broadway, just 7 miles away, with its independent boutiques, art galleries, cafés and fantastic adventure park.

Set above the River Isbourne, Winchcombe is arguably the hidden jewel in the Cotswolds crown. The town became prosperous from its Abbey (one of the largest Benedictine monasteries in England), its wool trade and as a producer of tobacco. Although the Abbey has gone there is still much to see of historic Winchcombe and the wealth of the town is reflected in many of the buildings, as well as in the surrounding countryside.
No visit to Winchcombe would be complete without seeing four of the most prestigious historical sites in the area. Sudeley Castle (home of Queen Katherine Parr up to her death in 1548), Hailes Abbey (a Cistercian House founded in 1246 and owned by English Heritage), Stanway House (a Jacobean manor house with a world-famous fountain) and Belas Knap (a Neolithic long barrow dating from approximately 3800 BC) all offer a fascinating insight into the life of our ancestors.
Known as the walking capital of the Cotswolds, Winchcombe sits at the intersection of the Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wardens Way, the Windrush Way and the new Winchcombe Way. Alternatively, the GWR Steam Railway provides a fantastic fun day out for the family, running from Toddington through Winchcombe to Cheltenham Racecourse.
Winchcombe has a mouthwatering selection of top quality restaurants, a wine bar, pubs, tea shops and a contemporary delicatessen/coffee shop. So whether you want a quick snack or a leisurely meal you'll be spoilt for choice.
With a vibrant Music & Arts Festival in May/June, a Country Show in August and a Christmas Festival in December, Winchcombe also has a busy cultural calendar.

Had een fantastisch verblijf in George III cottage. Het huisje was brandschoon en had alles wat we nodig hadden voor ons verblijf. Cottages zijn op een ideale plek op loopafstand van het kasteel Sudeley (een bezoek waard) en als gast van de huisjes die u krijg kunt u gratis bezoeken aan het kasteel. Winchcombe is een geweldige uitvalsbasis om de Cotswolds te verkennen, met veel hondvriendelijke pubs met een fijne verscheidenheid aan gerechten en ales. Zal zeker de omgeving bezoeken in de toekomst. Bedankt Martin

Welcome to Fleur de Lys, brought to you exclusively by Character Cottages, local specialists in stylish, Cotswold holiday rentals.
Fleur de Lys is a beautiful Grade II listed Cotswold stone property which sleeps eight guests, in four well presented bedrooms, with two stylish bathrooms. Set over three floors, this period property dates back to the 17th century and has retained a wealth of character features including stone mullion windows, exposed wooden beams, exposed Cotswold stone and a stunning inglenook fireplace with a gas stove.
The property has been lovingly furnished in a contemporary style with a cleverly designed ground floor layout where each room flows into the next, giving an open plan feeling to the entire level. Modern facilities including wireless internet access, a Smart TV with BT package and a well-equipped kitchen complement the character features, and the wonderful glass roof lantern floods the sitting room with light. There is a tiered garden at the rear of the property and reasonably priced Pay & Display car parks a short walk away.
Fleur de Lys is situated in the heart of the vibrant market town of Winchcombe, an ancient Saxon settlement known as the walking capital of the Cotswolds. The town benefits from a variety of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and also plays host to many regular events, ranging from open gardens and tea dances to festivals and fundraisers. As well as eateries and events, it is also home to popular tourist attractions including the historic Sudeley Castle and the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway which makes a stop in Winchcombe to pick up passengers on its 28 mile round trip.
Winchcombe is surrounded by breathtaking countryside with a vast number of walks and cycle routes on its doorstep to discover. The renowned Cotswold Way long distance walking trail passes through the town and features on many circular walks in the area, including an energetic hike up to Belas Knap. It is also well placed for exploring the many other picturesque towns and villages of the North Cotswolds such as Cheltenham, Chipping Campden, Broadway and Snowshill, the latter being home to Snowshill Manor and the Lavender Fields, a must see in the summer months. Further afield destinations such as Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford are easily accessible for day trips.
Important Customer Notice:
- Special Events: Christmas, New Year and the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival are Special Events, with bookings typically limited to weeks only from a specific start day

Guests are welcome to unload their luggage opposite the property and there are very reasonably priced Pay & Display car parks located a short walk away from the house.
Set above the River Isbourne, Winchcombe is arguably the hidden jewel in the Cotswolds crown. The town became prosperous from its Abbey (one of the largest Benedictine monasteries in England), its wool trade and as a producer of tobacco. Although the Abbey has gone there is still much to see of historic Winchcombe and the wealth of the town is reflected in many of the buildings, as well as in the surrounding countryside.
No visit to Winchcombe would be complete without seeing four of the most prestigious historical sites in the area. Sudeley Castle (home of Queen Katherine Parr up to her death in 1548), Hailes Abbey (a Cistercian House founded in 1246 and owned by English Heritage), Stanway House (a Jacobean manor house with a world-famous fountain) and Belas Knap (a Neolithic long barrow dating from approximately 3800 BC) all offer a fascinating insight into the life of our ancestors.
Known as the walking capital of the Cotswolds, Winchcombe sits at the intersection of the Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wardens Way, the Windrush Way and the new Winchcombe Way. Alternatively, the GWR Steam Railway provides a fantastic fun day out for the family, running from Toddington through Winchcombe to Cheltenham Racecourse.
Winchcombe has a mouthwatering selection of top quality restaurants, a wine bar, pubs, tea shops and a contemporary delicatessen/coffee shop. So whether you want a quick snack or a leisurely meal you'll be spoilt for choice.
With a vibrant Music & Arts Festival in May/June, a Country Show in August and a Christmas Festival in December, Winchcombe also has a busy cultural calendar.
Food & Drink
Winchcombe is fortunate to be blessed with a variety of places to eat and drink, with the following being just a selection of the options available:
Restaurant 5 North Street (www.5northstreetrestaurant.co.uk): A small family run Michelin starred restaurant. The cooking at North Street brings together the elements of traditional British cooking with the more sophisticated ingredients and techniques of classic French cuisine;
Wesley House (www.wesleyhouse.co.uk): Set in a 15th century Merchant's House, Wesley House's restaurant has been awarded an AA two star rosette and has developed a reputation for excellent food, elegant surroundings and exemplary service. The vibrant Wine Bar & Grill offers a lively atmosphere, with an extensive cellar and delicious dishes in a relaxed setting;
Wine and Sausage at The White Hart Inn (http://wineandsausage.whitehartwinchcombe.co.uk): The White Hart Inn is a charming 16th Century inn, with the Wine & Sausage Restaurant at its heart. Open daily for breakfast, morning coffee & cakes, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and bar snacks.

During your stay at Sudeley Castle Country Cottages you are entitled to free admission to Sudeley Castle and Gardens during the Castle’s open season (except for separately ticketed events). If you wish to visit the Castle and gardens during your stay, please take your room key or booking receipt with you to the admissions desk.
Steeped in a thousand years of history, Sudeley Castle makes for a fascinating day out, not to mention the vast number of events also taking place throughout the year. For a full history of this glorious building, see ‘History of Sudeley Castle’ in this guide.
Thanks to your proximity to Winchcombe town centre, you have a host of amenities within walking distance of the cottage to enjoy. The town itself benefits from several small supermarkets, including The Co-Operative Food and Warner’s Budgens, both well-stocked with fresh produce and store cupboard essentials. Vale & Hills Family Butchers offers fantastic, local meat on the town’s high street, with a host of delicious goodies available at North’s Bakery for those in search of a fresh morning loaf. For larger shops, Tesco Superstore in Bishop’s Cleeve is just a 15-minute drive away, whilst Cheltenham’s impressive selection of stores, eateries and amenities are just a 20-minute journey. Most major supermarkets also offer home delivery to the cottages, including Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s and ASDA.

For gourmet hunters, Winchcombe’s 5 North Street is just a 5-minute stroll from the cottage, offering Michelin-starred seasonal dishes created by expert husband and wife team Gus and Kate. Michelin-recommended Wesley House is also just a 5-minute walk in Winchcombe’s town centre, offering exceptional cooking in the confines of a characterful 15th century house.
For fans of more relaxed cuisine, The White Hart Inn on Winchcombe’s High Street offers tasty gastropub grub in relaxed, rustic-chic surroundings, as well as The Corner Cupboard Inn; a historic 15th Century Inn serving traditional fare, supposedly haunted by a 12-year-old girl! Just 10 minutes’ down the road by car, The Pheasant Inn at Toddington is a great choice for families or groups visiting the GWSR Steam Railway station next door, whilst the Royal Oak at Gretton offers an unbeatable pub garden; perfect for sunny afternoons when only a pub pint will do.
Walks
Winchcombe’s rolling countryside is a true walkers’ paradise, with options for casual, seasoned and hardy walkers running right from the cottage’s front door. Winchcombe itself is a “walkers are welcome” town, a special status awarded to towns and villages which go above and beyond with their walking amenities, making it a fantastic destination for groups in search of a walking break.
The Winchcombe Way, a 42-mile figure-of-eight trail centred around the town, offers walkers a great way of discovering the surrounding Cotswold towns and villages section-by-section over the course of a stay, whilst there are plenty of options for those looking for a more casual, leisurely pace within a close radius of the cottage.
We recommend the Sudeley Castle Circular walk for a relaxing stroll; a 2-mile loop setting off straight from the cottage’s front door, taking you into the grounds of historic Sudeley Castle - a must-visit for any guest. The 2 ½ mile walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow sat atop Cleeve Hill, is also a great walk to try from the doorstep, providing you don’t mind the incline.

INTRODUCTION
Booking the Castle Gatehouse is akin to booking your very own miniature castle for your stay at Sudeley! The former gatekeeper’s house marks the entrance to the castle grounds, and has been converted and restored to provide comfortable accommodation for up to four guests over its unique layout. Its ancient and impressive structure is complemented with symmetrical gardens lined with iron railings and a stone courtyard in the centre.
The accommodation is arranged such that Bedroom One, with its four-poster bed and en-suite shower room, is accessed via a separate door, in one wing of the Gatehouse. Across the courtyard is a another door, leading into a well-equipped kitchen with a dining table and chairs for four guests, a utility area with stairs leading up to a beautifully furnished, cosy living area and additional separate WC just off the landing. A further seven steps will take you to Bedroom Two, a spacious room with a king size double bed. A few steps down will lead you to the en-suite shower room, with a concealed washing machine and tumble dryer.
Outside, guests can admire the pastoral views that line the driveway to the castle from two individually gated gardens– a mirror image of each other – neatly connected by a shared patio in the middle with an outdoor dining table and chairs.

Een meest unieke plek om te verblijven! We hielden absoluut van het poortgebouw en alles wat we hebben meegemaakt. Ontbijt en avonddrankje op het terras, wandelen naar Winchcombe voor het diner, en natuurlijk wandelen op het kasteelterrein. Ons verblijf kon niet perfecter geweest zijn, zelfs het weer werkte mee!
Lisa2019-09-05T00:00:00ZDit is een spectaculaire eigenschap - een echte ervaring. Het leukste is de aanpak, die aanvoelt als je eigen privékasteel, en de prachtige tuin met uitzicht op het kasteelterrein waar we elke dag ontbeten. We hielden van hoe dicht het was bij de winkels en restaurants van Winchcombe en hoe handig voor een scala aan wandelingen vanaf de deur. De keuken was van alle gemakken voorzien, de woonkamer was duur en het bed was mooi en comfortabel. Alles netjes en schoon. Ik hoop terug te keren.
Layla2019-09-01T00:00:00ZEcht meer een ervaring dan alleen een plek om te verblijven. Verbazingwekkende eigenschap net zoals beschreven. Binnen was comfortabel ingericht met alle voorzieningen. Heeft een eigen tuin perfect onderhouden en ligt direct aan het kasteelterrein. Kon niet om meer vragen.
Dave2019-08-26T00:00:00ZHet Castle Gatehouse is gewoon geweldig. Het was schoon, gemakkelijk toegankelijk en echt vol van karakter.
Brian2019-06-08T00:00:00ZHet poortgebouw is precies zoals beschreven. Het was gezellig en een gastvrije ruimte. We hielden ervan om naar het kasteel te lopen en naar Winchcombe voor maaltijden. Onze 5 jaar oude dacht dat het hele ding was geweldig. Ik waardeerde de kans om een beetje was te doen. Een zeer mooie voorziening voor een gezin!
Shannon2019-05-07T00:00:00ZGeweldige locatie en het poortgebouw was een leuke plek om te verblijven.
Kelly2019-04-18T00:00:00ZWe hadden een geweldig verblijf in dit unieke pand. Het is erg handig om te wandelen en lokale bezienswaardigheden te bekijken. Het poortgebouw voelt huiselijk aan en zorgde voor een bijzonder lang weekend met onze honden. Het is gezellig en een geweldige plek om te ontspannen.
Icaro2019-04-09T00:00:00ZWe hadden een geweldige tijd hier, locatie was ideaal voor wandeling naar Winchcombe en het gebouw zelf is zeer indrukwekkend en zorgt voor een geweldig verblijf. Ook leuk om wat groene ruimte rond te hebben. Was erg rustig in de avonden en had een goed gevulde keuken en alle dingen die je nodig zou hebben. Geweldig dat je ook gratis toegang krijgt tot het kasteel, wat een bezoek waard is. Zou aanbevelen en terugkeren.

Guests staying at Emma Dent Cottage enjoy complimentary (other than separately ticketed events) day-time entrance to Sudeley Castle & Gardens during the open season.
Named after Emma Dent (née Brocklehurst), who started the restoration of Sudeley Castle in the 19th Century, there is a real sense of history about this pretty, light and airy cottage. It is to Emma Dent that we owe the splendour of Sudeley Castle as it stands today. For almost half a century she dedicated her life to the Castle, building the Jubilee Buildings of the West Wing, the North Tower, the two gate lodges and the present entrance to the Estate, as well as laying out the gardens, including planting the magnificent yew hedges.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Guests enter from a covered porch into a hallway area, with handy coat hooks, then pass through to the open-plan dining-kitchen area, with a large window in the kitchen overlooking the woods. To the left of the dining area is understair storage (baby and cleaning equipment) and a spacious W.C.
Off the kitchen, and down two stairs, is the bright and airy, triple-aspect living area, with seating for six (one sofa bed), which leads out through French doors to a courtyard with a table and seating.
Upstairs (via a carpeted staircase with handrail) there is an ensuite double bedroom with king-size bed and an ensuite twin bedroom.

Walks
Winchcombe’s rolling countryside is a true walkers’ paradise, with options for casual, seasoned and hardy walkers running right from the cottage’s front door. Winchcombe itself is a “walkers are welcome” town, a special status awarded to towns and villages which go above and beyond with their walking amenities, making it a fantastic destination for groups in search of a walking break.
The Winchcombe Way, a 42-mile figure-of-eight trail centred around the town, offers walkers a great way of discovering the surrounding Cotswold towns and villages section-by-section over the course of a stay, whilst there are plenty of options for those looking for a more casual, leisurely pace within a close radius of the cottage.
We recommend the Sudeley Castle Circular walk for a relaxing stroll; a 2-mile loop setting off straight from the cottage’s front door, taking you into the grounds of historic Sudeley Castle - a must-visit for any guest. The 2 ½ mile walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow sat atop Cleeve Hill, is also a great walk to try from the doorstep, providing you don’t mind the incline.

Op slechts een steenworp afstand van Sudeley Castle en alle winkels, bars en voorzieningen.

SuperhostLady Jane Grey Cottage is a charming and carefully restored, 3-bedroom cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 1 double room, 1 twin room and 1 single room, with 1 family bathroom. The cottage is a semi-detached, two storey property with a fully-equipped modern kitchen and a spacious living and dining area that leads out to a private courtyard with seating. Upstairs are three comfortable and well-appointed bedrooms and a modern bathroom with a fixed shower over a bathtub.
Introduction
Lady Jane Grey Cottage is one of Sudeley Castle’s largest Country Cottages, and is named after Lady Jane Grey, who lived at Sudeley Castle before her brief nine-day reign as Queen of England. This lovely cottage was originally part of a paper mill, which was restored to make two cottages (Lady Jane Grey and Princess Elizabeth) and two apartments (St Kenelm and Oliver Cromwell), preserving the original exposed walls and beams throughout. (St Kenelm sits directly above Princess Elizabeth and Oliver Cromwell sits directly above Lady Jane Grey.)
The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Guests enter from a covered porch into a small hallway, with handy coat hooks, and pass through to an open-plan area with a desk and chair, under stairs storage (baby and cleaning equipment) and a very well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen windows look out on to the private courtyard.
Off the kitchen, and down three stairs, is the dining area with a large oak table, comfortably seating 5 guests. At the end of this large open plan space is the living area, which leads out to the private courtyard.
Upstairs (via a carpeted staircase with handrail) there is one double bedroom, one spacious twin bedroom, a single bedroom and a family bathroom with full-size bath and over-bath shower.
Situated just a short walk from the beautiful Cotswold town of Winchcombe, guests will be spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do and see and places to eat while staying at one of Sudeley’s cottages! See ‘Local Amenities’ or the ‘Winchcombe Guidebook’ for more information.

SuperhostEnjoy a relaxing getaway in a traditional 17th century cottage surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. My cosy home-from-home combines storybook English charm with modern amenities & comfort. Warm Cotswold stone, elm & oakwood floors, welcoming woodburner, sunlit rooms & secluded garden await you! In the heart of Winchcombe, it's a great base for country walks, pub lunches, browsing independent shops & exploring local idyllic villages. My guests dining at the Lion or White Hart enjoy a discount.
The bedroom is cosy and full of characterful Cotswold features including original elmwood floors, beams and lots of lavender. It is fully equipped with a comfortable double bed (with electric blanket and an extra rug for winter nights), wardrobe, dresser and other touches to make your stay comfortable such as hair dryer and bath robes. It's a sunny and light room with large windows so is warm year round. The room is accessible via a staircase with a hand rail.
Please note that, like in many old Cotswold homes, the bathroom is downstairs. The stairs are shallow and easy to manage with a handrail running right from the bottom to the top. The stairs are well-lit throughout the day and night to make night navigation simple and safe.
We have a travel cot suitable for newborns up to toddlers around 2 years of age. We also have a pram that you can borrow; it is suitable for babies from when they can sit upright alone.
We tend to remove our shoes - in muddy weather at least - so either bring your slippers or use the ones we provide to stay cosy.
There is plenty to do within walking distance. We have some great pubs and an award-winning restaurant less than a 5 minute walk away. There are also some nice cafes and boutique shops in the town. You can also take a short easy walk to Sudeley Castle where you can look around the house and grounds and there is a large play area for children. Walkers will be spoilt for choice, with the Cotswolds Way, the Winchcombe Way and other footpaths just moments away.

SuperhostA quintessential cottage in the heart of the cotswolds, and just a 15 minute drive from the Cheltenham Race course. Interior is simple, with a mixture of flagstones, painted floorboard (navy) and carpets upstairs. Quirky pieces like fluffy yellow cushions, and bistro styled dining table.
Compact space with essentials like washing machine, oven and hob. This house is my own house that I live in, however I vacate the premises for when guests book, so cupboards etc will have personal belongings.
Winchcombe is home to Sudeley Castle, where Catherine Parr (Henry VIII's last wife) is buried, with beautiful gardens, a phesantry and castle tours. There are cute cafes in the village, as well as pubs. Just opposite the house is The Lion, the perfect place for a meal out. If you're looking to stay in, you're just a few feet away from a convenience store and bakery, where you can your food shop. There are many walking routes, and a steam train railway station.

Local Amenities
Winchcombe is an elegant and timeless Cotswold town. Venture down the narrow side streets to find a mix of Cotswold stone cottages and black and white half-timbered buildings. The town is a famous centre for walkers, yet also boasts a number of traditional pubs and delicious cafes, galleries, boutique clothing, interior design and antique shops to browse.
During your stay at Sudeley Castle Country Cottages you are entitled to free admission to Sudeley Castle and Gardens during the Castle’s open season (except for separately ticketed events). If you wish to visit the Castle and gardens during your stay, please take your room key or booking receipt with you to the admissions desk.
Steeped in a thousand years of history, Sudeley Castle makes for a fascinating day out, not to mention the vast number of events also taking place throughout the year.
Thanks to your proximity to Winchcombe town centre, you have a host of amenities within walking distance of the cottage to enjoy. The town itself benefits from several small supermarkets, including The Co-Operative Food and Warner’s Budgens, both well-stocked with fresh produce and store cupboard essentials. Vale & Hills Family Butchers offers fantastic, local meat on the town’s high street, with a host of delicious goodies available at North’s Bakery for those in search of a fresh morning loaf. For larger shops, Tesco Superstore in Bishop’s Cleeve is just a 15-minute drive away, whilst Cheltenham’s impressive selection of stores, eateries and amenities are just a 20-minute journey. Most major supermarkets also offer home delivery to the cottages, including Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s and ASDA.
With Winchcombe on your doorstep and the Cotswolds’ many market towns and villages just a short car ride away, you’re somewhat spoiled for choice when it comes to places to eat!
For gourmet hunters, Winchcombe’s 5 North Street is just a 5-minute stroll from the cottage, offering Michelin-starred seasonal dishes created by expert husband and wife team Gus and Kate. Michelin-recommended Wesley House is also just a 5-minute walk in Winchcombe’s town centre, offering exceptional cooking in the confines of a characterful 15th century house.
For fans of more relaxed cuisine, The White Hart Inn on Winchcombe’s High Street offers tasty gastropub grub in relaxed, rustic-chic surroundings, as well as The Corner Cupboard Inn; a historic 15th Century Inn serving traditional fare, supposedly haunted by a 12-year-old girl! Just 10 minutes’ down the road by car, The Pheasant Inn at Toddington is a great choice for families or groups visiting the GWSR Steam Railway station next door, whilst the Royal Oak at Gretton offers an unbeatable pub garden; perfect for sunny afternoons when only a pub pint will do.
FULL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall
On entering the cottage, there is a small entrance area decorated with a floral terracotta red, William Morris-style wallpaper. To the left are the stairs to the first and second floor, and to the right the dining room, which leads through to the living room, courtyard garden and annex.
Dining Room
A charming entertaining space with a rectangular, wooden dining table and seating for eight guests. An inglenook fireplace and wood burner complete this characterful room, along with original beams and a large dresser displaying vintage plates. The dining room looks out onto the sunken footpath running along the front of the terrace of properties on Vineyard Street. (Starter logs are provided for the wood burner. However, please note, there is very little space between the log burner and dining table. For that reason, many guests do not use the fireplace.)
Off the Dining Room are two storage areas, one under the stairs (housing the ironing board, clothes airer and safety gate) and the second that leads to a cloakroom (W.C. and washbasin) with space to hang coats and keep walking boots (and store the highchair).
One step up to:
The Kitchen
The modern kitchen is fitted with oak worktops and plenty of shaker-style cream coloured cupboards. It is fully equipped, with dishwasher, range-style oven/hob (6-rings/3 ovens), microwave, Nespresso machine, washer/dryer and lovely washing up area under a “lantern” ceiling, which throws plenty of natural light into the room. The kitchen is fully kitted out with crockery, glassware, utensils and cutlery for a self-catering stay.
Through to:
The Living Room
The Living Room is the star of the property, with its French windows to the courtyard garden and “lantern” ceiling making this a light and bright socialising space. Cleverly divided into two parts, with a large L-shaped sofa, two antique armchairs, 50” Smart TV, Gazco electric flame-effect fire and coffee table (ingeniously made from an antique trunk) at one end, and a beautiful card table, desk and bookcases at the other end. Books of all genres and some family games and cards are provided for guests to browse and enjoy.
French doors lead to the private and multi-level gravelled courtyard garden and the
Annex:
Annex – Bedroom 4
Up a small flight of steps, at the end of the garden, is the Annex with its en-suite twin bedroom. This generously sized room is furnished with two single beds complimented by two bedside chests and reading lamps, a handy chair, a nest of tables and a wardrobe. (Note: WiFi cover is not strong in the Annex.)
Annex En-suite
The en-suite has a power shower unit, washbasin with mirrored vanity unit, heated towel rail and W.C.
Outside
The private garden at the rear of the house has two landscaped levels, with the first a patio immediately outside the Living Room - with a bistro table and two chairs - and the second a patio area immediately outside the Annex – with a charcoal BBQ, outdoor dining table, six chairs and a parasol. A gravelled area and path connect the two patios which are enhanced with flowerbeds and overhanging mature trees. (Cushions for the outdoor seats are stored in the under-stairs cupboard.)
Upstairs
From the Entrance Hallway, carpeted stairs lead up to:
Bedroom 2
This single bedroom overlooks Vineyard Street. It is furnished with a single bed, built-in wardrobe and window seat with a cushion and many items of vintage furniture, including a wooden bench, dressing table with stool and lamp.
Follow the carpeted landing up a small step and then down a step into the:
Family Bathroom
This bright and modern bathroom has a full-size bath, with over-bath shower, washbasin and vanity unit, illuminated mirror, heated towel rail and W.C.
Bedroom 1
A delightful bedroom with an inviting king-size double bed and a pretty view over the garden and Annex, Dent’s Almshouses and towards the Cotswold countryside.

Return to the landing and the steep staircase to the top floor – mind your head on the low beam!
Bedroom 3
This spacious and bright twin bedroom has a fantastic view over the garden and Annex, and out to Sudeley Hill and the surrounding Cotswold countryside. There are two bedside tables and lamps, two storage ottomans, two chairs, a chest of drawers and built in wardrobe.
Family Shower Room
The top floor bathroom has a walk-in shower, washbasin and vanity unit, illuminated mirror, heated towel rail and W.C.
Winchcombe is elegant and timeless. Venture down the narrow side streets to find a mix of Cotswold stone cottages and black and white half-timbered buildings. The town is a famous centre for walkers yet also boasts traditional pubs, galleries, boutique clothing, interior design and antique shops to browse.
Set above the River Isbourne, Winchcombe is arguably the hidden jewel in the Cotswold crown. Wander down Castle or Vineyard Street towards the 1000 year old Sudeley Castle or venture into Dent's Terrace for one of the finest rows of cottages in the land; these almshouses are the work of Emma Dent (Sudeley Castle – 1850’s) who forged strong links between the town and the castle.
Geweldig verblijf voor NYE - de eigenaar was erg meegaand en was snel in communicatie en helpen Het is een geweldige locatie met mooie pubs en restaurants in de buurt met veel wandelingen.

De locatie is weggestopt en rustig gelegen, wat ons perfect paste. We hebben mooie wandelingen gemaakt en vonden dat iedereen heel vriendelijk was. Dank je!

Michelle2020-01-01T00:00:00ZEen van de beste AirBnB-ervaringen die we hadden! Na een vermoeiende rit van 1.300 km (vanuit München / Duitsland) kwamen we aan en waren erg moe - de gastheer kon het huisje niet gastvrijer hebben voorbereid (verwarming was aan, lichten waren aan, we kregen zelfs traktaties (chocolade en een fles wijn) en een kerstboom!) en werd meteen verliefd op dit gezellige, kleine "thuis weg van huis". Het huisje is zorgvuldig uitgerust met alles wat u nodig hebt en is ideaal gelegen (rustig "buiten" van het dorp, hoewel u gemakkelijk naar het centrum kunt lopen in 10 minuten). We brachten er een week door met onze hond, het gebied is perfect voor lange wandelingen, de Cotswolds en de mensen zijn uiterst hondvriendelijk. Winchcombe zelf is prachtig - kleine pubs en winkels, iedereen kent elkaar (ca. 4k inwoners) - met Kerstmis leken we de enige toeristen te zijn - waar we van hielden! Ons hoogtepunt elke dag: teruggaan naar het huisje na een lange wandeling in de koude / regenachtige Cotswolds, ontspannen op de supergezellige bank, voor een verwarmend (open) vuur, films kijken. We wilden niet eens uit eten gaan omdat het te goed was om thuis te blijven :) We kunnen dit huisje absoluut aanbevelen en we zullen zeker terugkomen! Heel erg bedankt, Jonathan! Juli, Nico & Garbanzo
Juliane2019-12-27T00:00:00ZHeerlijk huisje! Sterk aangeraden
Scott2019-11-18T00:00:00ZGeweldig klein huisje met beide historische kenmerken en moderne accenten. Jonathan was een uitstekende communicator en hielp ons met lokale vragen.
Catherine2019-10-22T00:00:00ZStijlvol ingericht en brandschoon. Het huisje was goed uitgerust en de kleine extra's zoals champagne, hondensnoepjes, melk en heerlijke broodjes bij aankomst werden zo goed ontvangen. Dit huisje biedt een zeer goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding en Jonathon reageerde zo snel op alle vragen. We hebben zo genoten van ons verblijf, dat we nog een nacht probeerden te boeken, helaas was dit prachtige huisje al bezet.
Cheryl2019-08-25T00:00:00ZWinchcombe is een levendig en authentiek dorp, veel charmanter dan degenen die de gidsen van de costwolds bevolken ... Cottage met veel smaak ingericht: eenvoudig en chic. Het voelt goed. Dorp op een paar minuten lopen. Uitstekend beddengoed, perfecte uitrusting ... ga daarheen met je ogen dicht.
Jean-Pierre2019-08-20T00:00:00ZGeweldige Winchcombe! Wat een vondst. Deze plaats bood alles wat we nodig hadden voor ons verblijf in The Cotswolds. Jonathan was ook super behulpzaam en zorgde voor een aantal leuke details die ons verblijf onvergetelijk maakten.
Rachael2019-08-14T00:00:00ZEen heerlijk huisje in een rustige buurt. Geweldige locatie voor het verkennen van de Cotswolds. Jonathan had de plaats helemaal klaar voor ons met een aantal leuke accenten en gratis traktaties.

Karen2020-02-18T00:00:00ZAmanda en haar man waren perfecte gastheren en altijd bij de hand als we ze nodig hadden. We hadden een probleem met het toilet spoelde niet op onze laatste dag en ze kwamen meteen om het probleem op te lossen. Toen het niet kon worden opgelost, boden ze ons aan om daar te verblijven. Omdat het tot het weekend leeg was, boden ze extra nachten gratis aan, wat erg aardig en genereus was. Beide eigenschappen zijn mooi. De bedden zijn zo comfortabel dat het moeilijk was om 's ochtends op te staan. Het huisje is perfect gelegen voor een korte wandeling naar de stad naar winkels, cafés en pubs, evenals op loopafstand van Sudely Castle.

Barebones Farm is a 7-bedroom (sleeps 14), 4-bathroom, dog friendly*, character Cotswold home, ideal for large families or groups, just a stone’s throw from award-winning pubs, restaurants and shops, and a short walk to the Cotswold Way and River Isbourne. Includes: spacious open-plan ground floor area with conservatory, fully equipped kitchen and dining room, separate snug with a wood burner, TV/media room, downstairs en-suite double, 1/4-acre landscaped garden and private parking for 4-5 cars.
(* Dogs: Up to X well-behaved dogs are welcome at XX at an additional cost of £30 per dog. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog(s) and we will then revise your booking confirmation.)
Introduction, history and location of Barebones Farm
Barebones Farm is at the heart of Winchcombe, one of the Cotswolds most popular walking towns, also famed for Sudeley Castle. The house was originally built in 1685 as a two-up-two-down home, with additional bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen and conservatory added in 1900 and 2008. Originally a small dairy farm, this handsome Cotswold stone property is now a spacious, wonderfully welcoming holiday home, with a lovely landscaped garden, large patio and plenty of parking to the side of the house.
The front door of the property is on North Street, a principal but quiet Winchcombe street. Guests can enter the property through the front door, or walk round to the side, through the private parking area and across the patio and in via the conservatory’s French doors. The width of the rear of the house looks over a large, beautifully planted and landscaped garden with fruit trees and herbaceous borders.
Barebones Farm is a 7-bedroom home with the perfect combination of character features - exposed beams and timbers, stone walls and an inglenook fireplace – and modern facilities, including a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful open-plan conservatory and en-suite bath and shower rooms.
Bought in 1995 by the current owners, the Stranks family, after it had lain empty for 15 years, extensive renovations were carried out, lasting almost two years. Most of the walls and floors were replaced, at one point standing in the cellar you could look up and see the sky! What is now the dining room was originally the kitchen and breakfast room - the original kitchen sink window was kept and now provides light through from the conservatory to the dining room. The 17th Century house was a 2-up-2-down home that is at the centre of today’s property, consisting of what is now the snug, the ground floor bedroom and the staircase up to today’s Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 4. The Victorian owners added the entrance hallway, what is now the TV room (this used to be the milking shed), Bedroom 3 and the Jack & Jill bathroom. In 2008, the Stranks added the conservatory, updated the kitchen, added the downstairs cloakroom and ground floor en-suite, Bedroom 1 and the family bathroom.
Winchcombe is an elegant and timeless Cotswold town with a host of amenities, making it perfectly possible to stay at Barebones Farm without the need to use a car. Venture down the narrow side streets to find a mix of Cotswold stone cottages and black and white half-timbered buildings. The town is a famous centre for walkers, with Winchcombe Welcome Walkers an important part of the town’s appeal, alongside the magnificent Sudeley Castle. (There are maps at Barebones Farm for your use and suggested walks in the ‘Walking’ section of this guide.) The town has several traditional pubs and contemporary restaurants and cafes; art galleries; boutique clothing stores and interior design and antique shops – in fact something to please everyone.

FULL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Ground Floor
Entrance Hallway
Guests enter Barebones Farm through the front door, slightly to the left of the main house (an addition made during the Victorian era), and into the entrance hall. Here you’ll find a handy hallway with original flagstone flooring and plenty of hooks to hang coats. It’s the perfect place to shug off boots and shoes while sitting on the settle.
TV Room
Immediately to the left is the TV Room, a room with wow factor, with its deep claret-coloured walls and minstrels’ gallery. In Victorian times, this is where the farm’s cows would come in to be milked. During the restoration work, the current owners found several milking stalls and had to dig down deep to get to the floor. This impressive room now features a sink-in corner sofa and two comfy armchairs, a wide-screen Smart TV with Blu-Ray surround-sound system, making an evening’s cinema-style viewing complete. In addition, there is a large games cupboard with a huge selection of games, DVDs and dressing up clothes. (Please note: the minstrels’ gallery is decorative and not for guests use.)
From the TV Room walk through to the hugely impressive and welcoming open-plan dining/conservatory/kitchen area – perfect for large groups to relax, cook and entertain in…
Dining Room
The beautiful dining room features a long, wooden dining table with seating for 14 (plus 2 highchairs), a striking exposed stone wall, exposed beam and terracotta floor tiles. The stone wall was the outer wall of the original 17th Century house before the addition of the dining room during the Victorian era. A window looking through to the Conservatory provides a pretty feature and throws light into this fantastic entertaining room.
Kitchen
The large kitchen, overlooking the garden, is fully equipped to suit the most demanding of cooks, with a full complement of appliances and cookware. At the centre of the kitchen is a granite-top island with bar-style seating for three – the perfect place to sip a glass of wine and chat while the cooks prepare a meal. The kitchen features underfloor heating, a Rangemaster double oven and grill with a 6-ring hob, plenty of oak storage units housing a microwave, utensils, crockery, cutlery, glassware (champagne flutes, tumblers and wine and water glasses) a cafetière, bakeware, and food preparation equipment (saucepans, grater, jug, sieve, blenders) and serving dishes. On the surrounding polished granite surfaces you’ll find a toaster, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine (starter pods provided), knife set and bread bin. The kitchen has a Bosch dishwasher and large Samsung fridge-freezer. The owners leave a selection of store-cupboard items including salt, pepper, herbs, spices, oil and vinegar (please feel free to use them, contents may vary). Nespresso coffee pods, tea bags, instant coffee, sugar, kitchen roll, foil and cling film are all provided. Feel free to pick the fresh herbs growing in the garden, including chives, rosemary, bay leaves, thyme and oregano.
Conservatory
The large, open-plan conservatory adjoining the kitchen becomes the hub of many guests’ stay here. With its view out to the patio and garden and sink-in sofa seating, with plenty of room to pull in more chairs and cushions, you will quickly appreciate why it’s Barebones Farm’s top place to relax and hang out. The cream and fern-green colour scheme make it feel like this room is an extension of the garden. In the warmer months, the windows can be opened to allow a breeze through from the garden, while in the winter the polished limestone flooring’s underfloor heating produces a cosy environment to watch the outdoor winter scene unfold.
Cloakroom & Utility Area
Off the kitchen end of the dining room is a door leading to a short corridor with a cupboard storing a Zanussi washing machine and Zanussi dryer, an iron, ironing board, clothes airer and housekeeping items. (A rotary washing line can be found in the garden.) The corridor leads to the downstairs cloakroom with a toilet and sink.
Snug
From the dining room, head back towards the front of Barebones Farm into the original 17th Century part of the building through a low stone doorway (mind your head!) and into the Snug, with its feature stone walls, pretty bay window and inglenook fireplace. Here you can snuggle up with a book, relax or plan a walk sitting in a comfy armchair or on the sink-in sofa. A wide selection of books and maps are provided for guests to use during their stay. (Wood and kindling for two fires, plus full lighting instructions are provided; extra wood may be purchased from the owners.)
Head out of the Snug, past the bottom of the stairs to the…
Ground Floor Bedroom
The spacious ground floor en-suite bedroom, which was half of the downstairs part of the original 17th Century farmstead, features a zip-linked super king-size bed (can be set up as a twin), a pretty bay window with two comfy chairs and the original inglenook fireplace (the fireplace is now for decorative purposes only). A large built-in hanging cupboard and bedside table provide plenty of space to store clothes and personal items. The en-suite bathroom has a large walk-in shower with a sliding door, a ‘comfort height’ sink and toilet and heated towel rail. Thanks to the en-suite’s wide doorway and accessible wet room, the downstairs bedroom is perfect for guests with reduced mobility.
Upstairs
Head up the carpeted feature staircase with its original dark stained 17th Century timbers to the first-floor landing…
Bedroom One – Master Bedroom
At the rear of the house is the spacious master en-suite bedroom, which was added by the current owners in 2008. It features a super king-size bed (can be set up as a twin) and a dramatically high, beamed ceiling. This dual-aspect bedroom has a fantastic view over the pretty, quarter-acre landscaped garden, and is furnished with a 4-door cupboard, dressing table with mirror and bedside tables with reading lamps.

Bedroom Two
This cosy, king-size double bedroom, decorated with rich red fabrics, looks out over the front of the house across to other residences on North Street. It features a sink-in king size double, a 3-door hanging cupboard, a large chest of drawers, bedside tables with reading lamps and a pretty wooden rocking chair. Guests in Bedroom 2 use the adjacent family shower room.
Across the landing and up two stairs to…
Bedroom Three
This bright and airy king-size double bedroom, with floral and duck egg blue accents, was added in the 1900s. It features a pretty, brass bedstead and lovely views over the patio and landscaped garden. Furnished with a dressing table and mirror, a chest of drawers, a 3-door hanging cupboard and bedside table with reading lamp, this restful room leads through to a Jack & Jill bathroom shared with Bedroom Four.
Jack & Jill Bathroom
A Victorian addition, this inviting bathroom, with a separate door to Bedroom 3 and Bedroom 4, features a full-size roll top bath, polished oak floorboards and white, half-wall panelling offset by the deep cornflower blue walls. A toilet, sink, and electric corner shower complete the bathroom facilities.
Bedroom Four
This twin bedroom is entered from the main landing along a passageway past Bedroom 3. It is one of the two original, 17th Century upstairs rooms, which also has access to the Jack & Jill bathroom. The central chimney breast (rising up from the Snug) that forms a wide, ornate shelf behind the two single beds, and the exposed beams give this front aspect, twin room lots of character. It is furnished with a hanging cupboard, chest of drawers and central bedside table with reading lamp.
(Please note, when the fireplace is in use in the Snug, there is very occasionally a smoky smell in this bedroom. For this reason, there is a carbon monoxide detector in this room.)
On upstairs via a wide, carpeted staircase, with walls featuring 17th Century exposed timbers, to the attic’s two twin bedrooms...
Bedroom Five
At the top of the stairs turn right into the first of the attic’s two twin bedrooms, furnished with two single beds, a small hanging cupboard with drawers and a central bedside table with a reading lamp. Two dormer windows provide lots of light and a great view out over the ancient rooftops of Winchcombe. Blinds are fitted to ensure a good night’s sleep. Please note that the ceiling is low above both beds.
Cross the little landing with a dormer window to…
Bedroom Six
The last bedroom of the house, the attic’s second twin bedroom, furnished with two single beds, a chest of drawers and a central bedside table with a reading lamp. Two dormer windows provide lots of light and the same interesting view out over the ancient rooftops of Winchcombe. Both the windows have blinds to ensure a good night’s sleep. Please note that the ceiling is low above both beds.
Outside
Barebones Farm has a very attractive quarter acre, landscaped garden with a large central lawn, mature fruit trees and herbaceous borders. It is perfect for rolling out a blanket and lazing in the sunshine or reading in the shade of the fruit trees, for children to play on, and for dogs to frolic on the grass. Adjoining the conservatory is a wide patio area with a large table seating 12 with additional bistro tables which can extend seating to 14 and plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. A charcoal BBQ is provided for guests to use. To the side of the patio is a gravelled parking area with space for 4-5 cars.
LOCAL AMENITIES
Food Shopping

The major supermarkets offer home delivery to the house, including Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s and ASDA.
LOCAL GUIDEBOOK
Set above the River Isbourne, Winchcombe really is a shining example of a traditional Cotswold market town, filled with boutique shops, antique treasures, cafes and pubs and overlooked by the magnificent Sudeley Castle. Wander down Castle or Vineyard Street towards the 1000-year-old Sudeley Castle or venture into Dent's Terrace for a view of one of the finest rows of cottages in the land; these almshouses are the work of Emma Dent (Sudeley Castle – 1850’s) who forged strong links between the town and the castle.
Walks & Walking (please note, a printed version of this Welcome Guide plus maps are at the property)
Winchcombe’s rolling countryside is a true walkers’ paradise, with options for casual, seasoned and hardy walkers running right from the cottage’s front door. Winchcombe itself is a “walkers are welcome” town, a special status awarded to towns and villages which go above and beyond with their walking amenities, making it a fantastic destination for groups in search of a walking break.
The Winchcombe Way, a 42-mile figure-of-eight trail centred around the town, offers walkers a great way of discovering the surrounding Cotswold towns and villages section-by-section over the course of a stay, whilst there are plenty of options for those looking for a more casual, leisurely pace within a close radius of the cottage.
We recommend the Sudeley Castle Circular walk for a relaxing stroll; a 2-mile loop setting off straight from the cottage’s front door, taking you into the grounds of historic Sudeley Castle - a must-visit for any guest. The 2 ½ mile walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow sat atop Cleeve Hill, is also a great walk to try from the doorstep, providing you don’t mind the incline.
Winchcombe Way
This super figure-of-eight trail takes you on a tour of the stunning northern area of the Cotswolds. The walk begins at Winchcombe and heads to Dumbleton via Gretton and Alderton. At Dumbleton you turn south over Dumbleton Hill and through Alstone toward Cleeve Hill and Common. Cleeve Hill is the highest point of both the Cotswolds hill range and in the county of Gloucestershire, at 1083 ft. Here you will also find Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow. A scheduled ancient monument in the care of English Heritage, it has been described as an 'outstanding example representing a group of long barrows commonly referred to as the Cotswold-Severn group'.
Shortly after Belas Knap you return to Winchcombe where the next section of the walk takes to Temple Guiting, passing through Guiting Wood on the way. The path continues to Snowshill where you can explore the delightful Snowshill Manor. Here you can view Charles Wade's collection of 'colour, craftsmanship and design' and enjoy the beautiful hillside gardens.
From Stanshill you continue through Buckland and Stanton before coming to another major route highlight at Stanway House. This splendid Jacobean manor house is right on the trail and open to the public. There are also beautiful gardens and a 300ft high fountain which is the tallest gravity fountain in the world.
The final section of the walk takes you back to Winchcombe, passing Didbrook and the National Trust owned Hailes Abbey with its 13th century ruins and excellent museum.
Eastern Loop
The eastern loop climbs out of Winchcombe and follows the Farmcote valley before entering Guiting Wood. From here it passes through quiet valleys and the tranquil villages of Cutsdean, Taddington and Snowshill. The route turns and follows the Cotswold escarpment through the villages of Buckland, Laverton and Stanton nestling at the bottom of the hill. The trail passes Stanway House and the recently restored watermill before passing Hailes Abbey on the return to Winchcombe.
Western Loop
The western loop ascends Langley Hill with splendid views before dropping down into Gretton and across to Alderton. From here the trail skirts around Dumbleton Hill with ever changing views before heading to Alstone. From Alstone the views ahead of wooded hills inspires one to climb Nottingham Hill and onto Cleeve Common. The vast common has rare plants and spectacular views before you head to Belas Knap long barrow and descend towards Winchcombe with fine views of Sudeley Castle and the surrounding countryside.
The Isbourne Way
This waymarked trail, launched at Winchcombe’s walking festival in 2014, follows the River Isbourne from its source on Cleeve Hill to its confluence with the Warwickshire Avon at Evesham, a distance of some 14 miles.
The Isbourne Way weaves existing footpaths into a route starting at the Washpool on Cleeve Hill, it passes through Winchcombe, Toddington, Wormington and Sedgeberrow, and ends at Evesham. The trail features woods, open countryside, villages and towns with pubs and shops, and sites of interest such as mills and churches.
The Isbourne Way itself is waymarked throughout using the mill wheel motif shown. The prologue, the epilogue and the ‘return’ routes are not identified on the ground but are signed with the standard arrows – yellow for footpaths, blue for bridleways.
Cycling
The Cotswolds is perfect for road and mountain bike cycling, with are bridleways and quiet country lanes galore, and while you'll struggle to avoid a few uphill stretches at least most are relatively short! It’s easy to plan a route that takes in at least one village where you’ll be sure to find a pub or café to revive yourself or a shop to stock up on back-pocket sustenance. Head to Cotswolds AONB website: Walk, Cycle & Explore for route maps

Dit is een prachtig huis midden in het centrum van Winchcombe. Echt ideaal voor gezinnen / vrienden met jonge kinderen, want het huis heeft een goede combinatie van tweepersoonskamers en tweepersoonskamers en veel ruimte om te ontspannen en te kletsen of om verstoppertje te spelen! De tv-kamer had een kast met spelletjes en verkleedpartijen die iedereen bezig hield. De keuken en eetkamer zijn ruim, waardoor het echt gemakkelijk is om samen te koken en te eten en er is een goed gevulde Budgens en lokale deli en bakkerij (en geweldige pubs) allemaal binnen een paar minuten lopen. Met de stoomtrein op loopafstand en gemakkelijke autoritten naar plaatsen zoals Cheltenham en Bourton-on-the-Water hadden we een fantastische tijd, zelfs in het midden van de winter, en met de prachtige tuin is het misschien zelfs nog mooier in de zomer! De eigenaren zijn erg behulpzaam en beantwoorden snel alle vragen. Zou deze accommodatie ten zeerste aanbevelen.

We waren verrast door de ruimte in het huis, zo midden in het centrum van Winchcombe. Het was netjes, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien (tot en met handzeep en aluminumfolie). Het enige wat we misten was een kapstok voor onze jassen. Het plaatsje zelf en omgeving is erg mooi. Leuk voor een paar dagen, met het Sudeley kasteel op loopafstand en een prachtige wandelomgeving. Meerdere goede restaurants en supermarkten zijn heel dichtbij, en toch heb je alle rust in het huis. Het is ons heel goed bevallen!
Mathilda2017-07-23T00:00:00ZWe hadden een mooie lange weekend in Wold Cottage. We kwamen laat maar de komst instructies waren zeer duidelijk en de verwarming was geweest voor ons, dus alles wat er te doen is vallen in het comfortabele bed! Het huisje zelf is zeer goed uitgerust en gezellig met veel ruimte om te ontspannen. We hadden alles wat we nodig hadden. Het was een geweldige locatie midden in het centrum van het dorp, maar nog steeds erg rustig. Er is een grote selectie van winkels in de buurt. We konden geen tafel krijgen op de aanbevolen Lion pub, maar had een geweldige maaltijd in Wine & Sausage plaats (precies wat het op het tin zegt!). Als de weg fietsers er waren tal van geweldige routes recht voor de deur als je het niet erg vindt een paar heuvels. De enige (zeer kleine) minpunt was het gebrek aan parkeergelegenheid in de buurt, maar dit was vooral omdat de beurs was in de stad nemen we aan. Het is gewoon bedoeld als we eenmaal hadden uitgeladen we moesten rijden rond een beetje een ruimte te vinden. Het zou zeker niet op ons terug te keren. Thanks Maggie

Vale & Hills Family Butchers offers fantastic, local meat on the town’s high street, with a host of delicious goodies available at North’s Bakery for those in search of a fresh morning loaf. For larger shops, Tesco Superstore in Bishop’s Cleeve is just a 15-minute drive away, whilst Cheltenham’s impressive selection of stores, eateries and amenities are just a 20-minute journey. Most major supermarkets also offer home delivery to the cottages, including Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s and ASDA.
With Winchcombe on your doorstep and the Cotswolds’ many market towns and villages just a short car ride away, you’re somewhat spoiled for choice when it comes to places to eat!
For gourmet hunters, Winchcombe’s 5 North Street is just a 5-minute stroll from the cottage, offering Michelin-starred seasonal dishes created by expert husband and wife team Gus and Kate. Michelin-recommended Wesley House is also just a 5-minute walk in Winchcombe’s town centre, offering exceptional cooking in the confines of a characterful 15th century house.
For fans of more relaxed cuisine, The White Hart Inn on Winchcombe’s High Street offers tasty gastropub grub in relaxed, rustic-chic surroundings, as well as The Corner Cupboard Inn; a historic 15th Century Inn serving traditional fare, supposedly haunted by a 12-year-old girl! Just 10 minutes’ down the road by car, The Pheasant Inn at Toddington is a great choice for families or groups visiting the GWSR Steam Railway station next door, whilst the Royal Oak at Gretton offers an unbeatable pub garden; perfect for sunny afternoons when only a pub pint will do.
Geweldig complex en zeer goede faciliteit met alle voorzieningen. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf. Rebecca was het meest behulpzaam toen we dachten dat we verloren waren en alleen nog in de bocht hoefden te gaan. Grondig aanbevelen.
