Queen Mary Cottage is a charming, 2-bedroom cottage that sleeps four guests in one double room and one twin room, with a family bathroom. The cottage is a semi-detached (alongside Anne Boleyn Cottage), two-storey property with a well-equipped open plan kitchen/dining area and spacious living room that leads out through French doors to a seating area with countryside views.

During your stay, you are entitled to free admission to Sudeley Castle and Gardens during the Castle’s open season (except for separately ticketed events).

Full Description

This pretty, 2-bedroom, semi-detached cottage is named after Queen Mary (the wife of King George V), who visited the Dent-Brocklehurst family at Sudeley Castle in 1944. The cottage sleeps four people and can additionally accommodate a cot. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Guests enter from a covered porch into the open-plan kitchen/dining room area with a large under-stairs storage (housing baby and cleaning equipment). A back door opens from the kitchen out to a small seating area.

Off the dining area, and down two stairs, is the living room with two large double sofas, a coffee table, occasional tables, and a smart TV, and French doors out to the seating area. Upstairs there is one double bedroom with a large dressing area, one twin bedroom, and a newly refurbished family bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

Ground Floor

Dining Area:
Guests enter Queen Mary Cottage through the covered front door into the open plan kitchen/dining room. Beside the dining area is a handy under-stairs cupboard housing baby, cleaning and ironing equipment.

Kitchen:
The kitchen has all the appliances, cookware, crockery, and glassware you need for a self-catering holiday, including a Neff Oven & Hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, toaster, kettle, and Nespresso coffee machine.

A back door opens from the kitchen out to a small seating area. The kitchen overlooks the rear of the property towards the River Isbourne.

Living Room:
2 large double sofas, a coffee table, occasional tables, and a smart TV and an electric fire. French doors lead out to the seating area.


First Floor

Bedroom One:
The main bedroom is entered via a large dressing room with a window over the main courtyard and furnished with a built-in cupboard, antique dressing table, and mirror. Step down two steps to the bedroom, featuring a double divan bed with bedside tables and touch-dim bedside lamps, and a pretty window overlooking the cottage courtyard.

Family Bathroom:
The newly refurbished bathroom with Shaker-style panelling has a large walk-in shower, a large sink with a mirror, a dual flush toilet, and a heated towel rail.

Bedroom Two:
This twin room with rear views towards the River Isbourne has two single beds, a hanging cupboard, and a shared bedside table with touch-dim bedside lamps.

Outside

Guests have access to a private patio at the rear of the property with seating and a table for four and a charcoal BBQ. As with all the Sudeley Castle Cottages, it is a short walk to the shared parking area and to the Castle and Gardens.

On your Doorstep
Supermarkets and Shopping
The historic town of Winchcombe has a small Co-Op and a Morrisons Daily for your everyday needs. 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.

Eating Out
  • The Lion Inn, Winchcombe – classic pub food served in beautifully historic surroundings (1 mile)
  • Restaurant 5 North Street, Winchcombe – exquisite food prepared by a passionate chef with a fantastic reputation (1 mile)
  • The Mount Inn, Stanton – far-reaching views accompany your meals and drinks at this rural country pub (6 miles)
  • The Ivy, Cheltenham – the perfect choice for sophisticated dining in a stunning location (8 miles)
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.

The property was very clean and very well equipped with everything one could need for a visit. I was particularly impressed by the little touches such as providing milk for the first night plus a supply of tea, coffee and sugar. Everything was very comfortable and there was plenty of information for our stay about the property and the area.

What a beautiful group of cottages you have! In a perfect position if you want to park the car for the weekend, pubs, restaurants and small shops literally a 4-minute walk away. Beautifully situated for walking in the countryside, or if you want to see more of the Cotswolds, you're right in amongst it. A well equipped cottage with an extra touch of tea, coffee, etc, along with fresh milk! A lovely weekend break! 100% we will be back!

Great little spot for exploring Winchcombe and the whole of the Cotswolds. Lovely little cottage with ample parking. It has a massive kitchen and I was impressed with the amount of supplies / utensils provided including jam, hot chocolate, milk and sparkling wine.

Have stayed at this cottage on the Sudeley Castle estate many times before. It’s an excellent location for exploring the Cotswolds, and such a pretty village. The real Christmas tree was a lovely touch. Excellent walking routes nearby.

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.
