Queens Cottage is a charming and carefully restored, two bedroom cottage on the Sudeley Estate. It is an ideal base in the North Cotswolds in a quiet and peaceful location which is a walkers' paradise. The cottage was previously an engine house and through the double front doors you will find wooden beams and a quirky circular window in the twin room. The ground floor is a spacious living and dining area with a well-equipped kitchen that leads out to an elevated patio with dining table that faces into the cottage courtyard. The sofa converts into a double bed and upstairs are two comfortable and well-appointed bedrooms and a large family shower room.

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).

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 a stay in a historic setting.

The front outdoor dining area overlooks the estate courtyard and is a lovely spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out for the day, perhaps to Sudeley Castle. The ground floor is spacious and open plan with a comfortable sitting area, dining area and a kitchen to the rear. There is also a family bathroom. In the sitting area one of the sofas can be converted into a double bed. Historic images remind you of this cottages' past and in the living area a discerning picture of Queen Victoria overlooks your adventure planning. At the end of the day this is a lovely place to put your feet up and enjoy a movie night. Upstairs both bedrooms offer plenty of storage and share use of the family shower room.

From your front door you are a short walk from Winchcombe and the country pubs, restaurants and wonderful walks that are on offer. Cheltenham, Cleeve Hill and Bourton and Broadway further afield are all easily reached and well worth a visit during your time here.

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

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)

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.

We loved our short stay in Queens Cottage. It is a characterful house and has a very pleasant open plan kitchen/living room downstairs and comfortable bedrooms with a bathroom upstairs and downstairs for convenience. Our hosts made us feel very welcome with tea, a coffee machine, milk in the fridge, and a decorated Christmas tree and Christmas gift! The cottage is in a peaceful enclave with good parking and within an easy walk of Winchcombe town with its wonderful pubs, shops and restaurants. There are great walks to do around Sudeley Castle and beyond Winchcombe on the Cotswold Way. We look forward to our next stay in Queens Cottage.

Had four very enjoyable nights stay in the tranquil and peaceful Queens Cottage on the Sudeley Castle Estate. Perfect location for hikes, visiting The Castle and using the local Steam Railway between Cheltenham and Broadway ( GWR ).The cottage was well equipped in the kitchen and the bathrooms clean, spacious with clean white towels etc.Can definitely recommend and are almost certain to return.

We much enjoyed our brief stay at Queens Cottage. Overall it was comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. The location was excellent, being a short stroll to all the shops and facilities that Winchcombe has to offer as well as the heritage railway nearby to visit Broadway and Cheltenham. It was a bonus to have complimentary access to Sudeley Castle and gardens, also a short walk away, which was very enjoyable with an extensive display of artefacts in the castle, lovely grounds and church with Katherine Parr's final resting place.

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.
