Full Description

St. Kenelm is a first floor apartment that was completely refurbished in February 2017, including a new kitchen, bathroom, and soft furnishings throughout. The apartment was restored from a paper mill to make spectacular accommodation with exposed stone walls and original beams. It is named after St Kenelm, who was a member of the royal family of Mercia, a boy king and martyr, who was murdered by an ambitious relative, and his body was transported by the Monks of Winchcombe to become a major shrine.

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 first floor of the apartment comprises of an open-plan lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, and the apartment boasts views over the nearby river and cottage courtyard. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. One double bedroom and two single rooms, perfect for friends sharing or children who prefer having some privacy!

First Floor


Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
A bright, well-lit open plan area makes up the first floor of St Kenelm. Comfortable sofa seating for 4, coffee table, Smart TV, and a good-size dining table and bench seating for 4. The kitchen at St Kenelm has a discernible country-cottage feel, with fresh-cream coloured cabinets and wooden work surfaces. The kitchen is complete with a Neff cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, Russel Hobbs toaster + kettle, and Nespresso coffee machine.


Second Floor

Please note that there are steep stairs leading up to the bedrooms and bathroom.

Bedroom One:
A comfortable and bright double bedroom with a beautiful skylight offering views over the cottage courtyard. Complete with a chest of drawers as well as additional hanging space.

Family Bathroom:
Adjacent to the double bedroom is the family bathroom, a bright and modern bathroom with a WC, washbasin, and full-size bath with a fixed overhead shower.

Bedrooms Two & Three:
Almost identical single bedrooms featuring a comfortable single bed each, as well as drawer and hanging space. Both bedrooms benefit from attractive beams as well as a low-level window and skylight.

Supermarkets and Shopping:

The town itself benefits from several small supermarkets, including The Co-Operative Food, which is 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:
  • White Hart Inn (200 metres)
  • North Street (300 metres)
  • The Corner Cupboard (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). 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)
Travel:
  • Train - Cheltenham Spa Station (9 miles)
  • Taxis - Starline Taxis, AndyCars

Reviews

This was our first stay in Sudeley Castle Cottages and found it to be an excellent facility for daily commuting to Cheltenham Racecourse and for evening dining options in Winchcombe. Property standards and condition were excellent. We will be staying again next year. The ease of booking and notification details from Bolthole Retreats were first class.

Had a great time at St Kenelm, property had tons of character and was perfect for a family of four for an extended stay. The village is amazing, and so close to walk to.

We enjoyed a visit to the Cotswolds, staying at St Kenelm apartment in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Well located, comfortable accommodation, with the benefit of free entry to Sudeley Castle during our stay. Very handy to be on the outskirts of the village of Winchcombe and we had a very tasty meal at Winchcombe Restaurant (Indian cuisine).

Our flight to London from the US was delayed for twelve hours, so it was 2:00 am by the time we reached Winchcombe and our accommodations at the Sudeley Castle Cottages. I was able to communicate with the management, and we were blessed to locate, enter and settle into our cottage. A great blessing for weary travellers in the middle of the night! Beautiful and convenient location!

It seemed like the perfect combination. A desire to revisit Sudeley Castle and to stay at Sudeley Castle Cottages, which are only a short walk through glorious countryside to the castle. Specifically thinking about St Kenelm which was spacious, comforting and very clean, it had everything we needed for our accommodation. The fixtures, fittings and furniture are of an extremely high standard and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering staying there. The castle itself was a ten minute walk and pubs in Winchcombe were a mere five minute stroll! (The White Hart was particularly good).An excellent weekend was had by all.

These are lovely vacation cottages tucked between Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle. The town of Winchcombe is a short walk away. The exterior is Cotswolds charm, but the interior is modern comfort. Exceptionally well equipped and appointed with everything you need for a happy experience. The staff were lovely.

We stayed here whilst working at Sudeley Castle for a couple of days and it was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, cosy and a brilliant price. All the amenities you could need, a lovely quiet location, plenty of parking. We loved it.

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.
