Full Description

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 and two apartments, preserving the original exposed walls and beams throughout.

This two-storey cottage has a large open plan living area on the ground floor which is split across two levels. The well-equipped kitchen is incredibly spacious and there is a desk area to catch up on work or browse your laptop to find where you'd like to spend your next day in the Cotswolds. The slightly separated sitting and dining area have plenty of space to dine together around the table or lounge in front of TV in the evenings. Two doors at the end open out into the gravelled courtyard enlarging your living space to include this handy outdoor area. Each bedroom has been well furnished with comfortable beds and storage space and the open walls throughout remind you of the history of this building. The more modern family bathroom combines these exposed walls with olive panelling and a wood effect floor.

The Sudeley Cottages are set a short walk from both the village of Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle which you must visit during your stay. Further afield Cotswold highlights including Cheltenham, Broadway and Bourton-on-the-Water are a lovely day out.

Ground Floor


Kitchen Area:
The kitchen at Lady Jane Grey is very well equipped, with plenty of storage space. The kitchen has all the appliances, cookware, crockery and glassware you need for a self-catering holiday, including an oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, washing machine/dryer and Nespresso coffee machine.

Living/Dining Area:
Step down from the kitchen area to the dining/living area which is dominated by the paper mill’s original stone wall. The dining area has a large circular oak table, seating five, while the other end features two large, sink-in sofas, a TV and oak coffee table. Double doors lead out to the courtyard with a table and seating, the perfect place to relax in the evening sun after a day exploring the Cotswolds.

First Floor


Master Bedroom:
The largest bedroom in Lady Jane Grey is a spacious twin room, with the beds arranged to provide some privacy between guests. This rear-aspect bedroom features original oak beams and the mill’s exposed stone wall. Guests share a hanging cupboard, while each bed has its own bedside table and dimmable reading lamp.

Bedroom Two:
This pretty bedroom features a standard double bed with oak bedstead and headboard. Facing the front of the property, with a large double window, this bedroom is light and bright with plenty of storage space in a hanging cupboard and bedside cabinets. An original mill shelf with a mirror acts as a handy ‘dressing table’, while dimmable bedside lamps provide perfect reading light.

Bedroom Three:
This cosy, single bedroom has a large window with views to the rear of the property and out towards woodland. The room is furnished with a hanging cupboard and bedside table and lamp.

Family Bathroom:
The pretty bathroom with Shaker-style panelling and exposed stone wall has a full-size bath with over-bath shower, a large sink with a mirror and shaver point, a WC and heated towel rail. Handy hooks on the door are provided for your clothes or robe.

Supermarkets and Shopping:

The town itself benefits from several small supermarkets, including The Co-Operative Food, which is 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.

  • North Street (300 metres)

Walks:

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 2.5 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.

Reviews

Lady Jane Grey cottage is a spacious, comfortable space in a beautiful location. The beds are comfortable and towels and bathroom products are of a high quality. Parking is available on site and it’s a very short walk to the amenities in the town. There are numerous walks from the door into the countryside.We thoroughly enjoyed our family get together in this lovely cottage, thank you.

Everything was as expected. It was lovely having access to Sudeley Castle and grounds, especially the adventure playground which was a great hit with my grandsons.
