Staying at the Castle Gatehouse is akin to booking your very own miniature castle at Sudeley. The house marks the entrance to the castle grounds and has been converted and restored and offers comfortable accommodation for up to four guests. The ancient and impressive structure is complemented by symmetrical gardens lined with iron railings and a stone courtyard in the centre.
The accommodation is arranged with bedroom one and its two-poster bed and en-suite shower room, occupying one wing of the Gatehouse. Across the courtyard, another door leads into a well-equipped kitchen and stairs leading up to a beautifully furnished, cosy living area. The second bedroom is on the first floor of this wing along with an ensuite shower room.
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 terrace in the middle with an outdoor dining table and chairs. There is private driveway parking for two cars and two dogs are welcome.
