Full Description

Over its vivid and expansive history, Sudeley Castle has played host to many of England’s reigning Queens, from Anne Boleyn to Queen Elizabeth. Named in commemoration of all its regal visitors of the past, Queens Cottage is an elegantly converted old engine house that offers guests an open-plan cottage experience.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Guests enter from the raised patio/dining area into the long, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. The living area features a flat-screen Freeview TV and two large sofas, of which one converts into a bed. Further into the property, you will find a dining table that can seat 6 and a well-equipped kitchen. To the left of the kitchen is a downstairs bathroom.

Upstairs there is one double bedroom with a king-size bed and one very spacious twin bedroom, as well as a large family bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Contractors are undertaking building works near the property during 2022 from Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 4.00pm, and you may encounter some noise disturbance during your visit.

On your Doorstep
Supermarkets and Shopping:
The town itself benefits from several small supermarkets, including The Co-Operative Food and Warner’s Budgens, both 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:
  • Wesley House (200 metres)
  • White Hart Inn (200 metres)
  • 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.

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)

We returned to Sudeley a second time for our Easter break, the cottage is clean comfortable both in winter and spring. Perfect location to Winchcombe and a lovely walk to the castle. The cottage has everything you may need the bathrooms are very clean with towels and a few toiletries, great for when you’ve forgotten something. Thank you all again for a perfect stay, we hope to be back soon

A short walk from the main street, the last part is very steep up to the shops and restaurants. The cottage is very comfortable and quiet, with well-equipped kitchen, fridge, washing machine and dishwasher etc. Warm and cosy in the evening.

Really enjoyed our stay in Queens cottage. Fantastic location, for visiting all of the Cotswold villages. Only a 5 minute walk into Winchcombe to access some lovely pubs and restaurants. Free entrance into Sudeley Castle was an added bonus. A few small improvements could make the cottage even better, new patio furniture and dining room chairs would be a good investment as they looked a little tired but we would definitely return.
