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.

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)

Reviews

Fabulous place to stay. Had everything you need for a short visit. Appreciated the milk and jams, coffee and tea left. Great location. And quiet. Parking was no trouble either. Would highly recommend.
Katie - August 2021
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.
Alison August 2021
this was the second time we have stayed at the Sudeley cottages, we had a few very enjoyable days at the Queens Cottage,it was an excellent cottage for the number in our family, it was spotless and very well equipped, we had one issue with the shower door but the Sudeley management had it resolved the same day. Hoping to visit again soon.
John
Fabulous cottages, we stayed in another one before , perfect for the event we were going to at the castle. So pretty and nice a layout. Shower is amazing and just lovely and spacious. The location is just the prettiest and great parking. Great to include the Castle visit.
Cecil
We had a lovely time staying in Winchcombe in this great cottage. Very smooth contactless check in and out. The cottage had everything we needed for a lovely weekend away and it was great being only 5mins walk from Sudeley Castle.
