The apartment was restored from a paper mill to make spectacular accommodation with exposed stone walls and original beams.

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.

You will also find Vale and Hills butchers, a florist, North’s Bakery and a deli at William’s of Winchcombe. Just outside Winchcombe, Hayles Fruit Farm (3.5 miles) offers a fabulous selection if pick your own depending on the season and has a farm shop and café on site which is popular with walkers in the area.

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

Very enjoyable short break in the Cotswolds self catering through Bolthole Retreats. Booking easy online, very comprehensive information given, not only about the property but about things to do, places to visit, restaurants etc in the area plus a very informative history of Sudeley Castle where we were staying.

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.

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.
