Full Description

Oliver Cromwell is a lovely bright apartment that was completely refurbished in February 2017, including a new kitchen, two new bathrooms, and soft furnishings throughout. The apartment was restored from a paper mill to make spectacular accommodation with exposed stone walls and original beams. It is named after one of Sudeley’s most notorious figures, Oliver Cromwell, who ordered much of the destruction of Sudeley Castle towards the end of the English Civil War.

Please note the apartment entrance is on the first floor, accessed up external stone steps, there are then internal stairs leading up to the apartment. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The first floor comprises of an open-plan lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher and washer/dryer. For your entertainment, there is a smart TV. The apartment boasts views over the nearby river and cottage courtyard.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The double bedroom has a bathroom adjacent, with a large walk-in shower, washbasin and WC. The twin bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, with a washbasin, WC, and bathtub with fixed overhead shower. Fluffy towels and bedding are provided for all guests.

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.

Eating Out:
  • White Hart Inn (200 metres)
  • North Street (300 metres)
  • The Corner Cupboard (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.

Sudeley Castle:

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.

  • Sudeley Castle & Gardens (0.5 miles)
  • Everyman Theatre (8 miles)
  • Broadway Tower (9 miles)

Reviews

We stayed as a small adult family of three and couldn't have loved the Oliver Cromwell apartment more. It felt homely and inviting and in such beautiful surroundings. Loved the Christmas tree with lights in our living room - it was a beautifully festive touch! Parking is easy, and it is a very short and easy stroll into the centre of Winchcombe. The amenities in our apartment were fantastic, which made self-catering for some meals, so easy. We enjoyed drinks and meals at both the White Hart, and the Corner Cupboard, but have to say the hospitality and quality of food served at the Corner Cupboard was an absolute winner! Being January, we couldn't enjoy the complimentary access to Sudeley Castle, but we did manage to walk the park trails surrounding it, which were absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a memorable stay!

We had a lovely stay and slept very well. The information about the local area and nearby walks was fantastic and the location was excellent, close to the centre of the village but very peaceful. We would stay with Bolthole Retreats again.

Lovely clean rooms with modern facilities in a property full of character. Some nice touches - fans in the room, milk in the fridge - were the icing on the cake.

We had a wonderful stay at the Oliver Cromwell Cottage near Sudeley Castle. The old paper mill is tastefully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms, kitchen, living area, dinnerware, cutlery, cooking utensils.... everything was stunning. The extra special bonus was entry to Sudeley Castle which is awe inspiring!! We had a superb 2 night stay and would highly recommend it if you get the chance. The surrounding nature and stone cottages and terraces are postcard beauty - we couldn't get enough of Winchcombe.

I wanted somewhere to stay that was convenient for Giffords Circus at Sudeley Castle. Bolthole Retreats had properties in the grounds and so I booked Oliver Cromwell. It proved to be absolutely perfect; within easy walking distance of the circus, the castle and Winchcombe. For a two night stay with friends it was excellent value for money compared with a hotel. The property had been sensitivity restored, retaining elements of the original building whilst incorporating modern facilities. The seating area and beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. Entrance to Sudeley Castle and gardens was complimentary which was an added bonus. Winchcombe itself is delightful with a range of shops and some excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes. The surrounding area also has plenty of opportunities for visiting.

Location

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. 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.
