Sudeley Guest Cottage - Floorplan 1
Add to Shortlist
As the name suggests Sudeley Guest Cottage once played host to castle visitors, and the opportunity to stay on the Sudeley Estate means you can explore and discover a place entwined with royal history. Standing in a beautiful rambling garden, which in springtime is awash with bluebells, this charming house offers the most English of stays. The pleasing symmetrical lines of the elegant exterior hide a cosy, welcoming interior which can sleep six guests comfortably. Surrounded by trees including majestic yews and firs, this is a peaceful spot with the sound of birdsong everywhere, yet everything you need is also within easy reach. It’s the ideal escape for ramblers and lovers of history alike, with the entrance to Sudeley Castle, and wonderful walks, just steps from the front door.

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
Step inside and you’ll find an attractively furnished cottage filled with beautiful antiques, pieces of art and an impressive collection of books, chosen by Lady Ashcombe. The Guest Cottage sits within its own meandering garden, bordered by woodland and a small stream, and offers rural views and easy access to the entrance of Sudeley Castle.

The ground floor of the cottage includes a charming country-style living room with ample seating for all, antique treasures, plus a smart TV. Large windows give lovely views over the front garden and down to the tree-lined walls of the Sudeley Castle grounds. There’s also a well-equipped kitchen with everything needed for a self-catering stay. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms including one with a free-standing bathtub.

Outside the cottage is enveloped in a glorious garden, a lavender-lined path leads to the front door, dissecting two emerald, green lawns. To the rear is an expansive garden which leads to a deciduous woodland and a small stream, it’s a magical spot to explore. The ancient town of Winchcombe offers a wealth of places to eat and drink and is a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive down the road.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
The front door leads through the rose-covered porch into the tiled hallway.

Living Room:
The living room overlooks the front garden and has a welcoming, English country house style. The polished wooden floor is topped with rugs, there is comfy seating, an antique card table and bookcases brimming with books of every kind. Artwork depicting rural scenes graces the walls. Entertainment comes in the form of a Smart TV.

Kitchen-Dining Area: The country-cottage, spacious kitchen, with its cream cabinets and wooden worksurfaces, is fully equipped for a self-catered stay. You’ll find everything you need including a five-ring hob and double oven, Nespresso coffee machine, fridge/freezer with chilled water dispenser, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and a washer-dryer. At the centre of the kitchen is an oak dining table with seating for six guests and to the side is a useful desk area.

First Floor

Bedroom One:
The light and welcoming ensuite master bedroom looks out over the front and side garden. Furnished with a king-size bed, Art Deco-style bedside tables and reading lamps, an antique dressing table, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe and a delightful small armchair, this bedroom has everything you need for a restful stay. Beautiful, thick floral curtains, the original, but ornamental, fireplace and antique paintings and prints bring character and charm to the bedroom.

The garden has a table with seating for six, a parasol and a barbecue. To the rear is a huge garden laid to lawn with a towering yew tree, herbaceous borders and deciduous woodland leading down to a small stream.

On your Doorstep
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.

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.

Great location for a Sudeley castle wedding. Plenty of space for six people to share and everything you need.

We are returning guests and the cottage was chosen for its peaceful setting with close proximity to wildlife and the castle grounds so our autistic son could take wildlife photographs. The cottage is furnished in a shabby chic style which needs updating in places but has a beautifully fitted and equipped kitchen with efficient showers and comfy beds. The WI-FI is very good enabling our journalist son to work from home there. We all had a great time spotting two types of deer and partridges plus unusual birds in the grounds and visiting Broadway Tower for it’s fantastic views.It was great to be able to walk to the castle which is just across the road and the gardens there are beautiful.

We had a wonderful time in a magical location. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. Endless walking routes nearby and a village that provides everything you need. Highly recommend the Lion Inn and the Winchcombe Indian restaurant. Sudeley Castle is a bonus, together with the beautiful gardens.

Location

The town of Winchcombe is a wonderful base from which to explore. It’s also a Walker’s Welcome town, meaning it is a real haven for walkers. 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. There are plenty of cafes and pubs along with several excellent restaurants in the town and myriad attractions nearby.
