Quaint little village and cottages

Just a few minutes from Sudeley Castle the cottages were perfectly located. Comfortable and clean and had everything that was needed. Set in a quaint little village with some lovely pubs and shops,

Everything perfect apart from the weather!

The Sudeley Castle Cottages are in a perfect location 5 minutes walk from the castle and 5 minutes walk from Winchcombe. We were able to visit the castle for free and it is absolutely excellent. Oliver Cromwell is spacious and has everything we could have wanted. The furniture is all good quality and the beds very comfy, the showers powerful and good and hot chocolate. A good washing machine and dishwasher. The only issue was it was a very very hot week and despite provided good quality fans, the cottage got extremely hot inside and it was very difficult to sleep. However this was just bad luck and there wasn't a lot we could have done about it and nothing much the cottage owner could have done about it either. I'd definitely stay here again and hope for normal British weather!

Lovely stay at Christmas

Stayed with my husband and two teenage children for 4 nights over Christmas. Lovely cottage with everything we needed, and even the bonus of a Christmas tree. Lots of parking and great central location to Winchcombe. Only downside would be number of steps up to the property which made unloading and loading the car hard work and wouldn’t recommend to people with mobility issues for that reason.

A very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend a stay at this convenient location close to the High Street and its amenities as well as Sudeley Castle.

Great location, some nice features but terrible mattresses

Bathrooms are nicely updated and comfortable. Location for Cotswold or Winchcombe way walks is perfect. There are nice places to eat in town which is a short easy walk. I would not stay here again without substantially better beds - it was like sleeping on a pullout sofa.

Fabulous short break

Stayed with family (4 adults) for 3 nights over the weekend and it was perfect.the accommodation and its position were brilliant. Also the added bonus of access to Sudeley Castle was a massive bonus. Loved the little extra touch of a welcome tray. Beds so comfortable too. A real home from home. Will definitely be returning. Also would recommend The Lion Inn, had a meal there Saturday and it was superb.

Great stay

Very good. The flat is excellent and when we had a problem with the heating it was repaired immediately. Towels, kitchen equipment etc very good, beds comfortable. Lots of steps so not great for anyone with mobility problems, but other flats or houses on the site would be just as nice. Lots of off street parking. The staff who helped with the booking are extremely nice and professional.

Great stay

Lovely stay, everything we needed and within walking distance of Winchcombe for food in the evening. We had a great time but if I am being nit picky, the squeaky floor boards in the bedroom need sorting. The skylight windows need a good clean and I didn't enjoy being woken by the heating coming on at 5 am! I admit we probably shouldn't have checked the instructions.

We had a wonderful time. The apartment is great and the location is perfect. Changes? The front door key is awkward and the bedside lighting too low. Apart from that all good.

Lovely apartment in a great location

We stayed for an event at Sudely Castle. The apartment is very well located both for the castle and for Winchcombe - just a short walk from both. It’s well equipped, with toiletries, condiments, tea, coffee etc - always nice to have a decent coffee machine! The beds and sofas are very comfortable. My only complaint is that the en-suite shower temperature ranges from too hot to scalding - we all had to use the main bathroom shower instead (which is very good), and the taps in the en-suite have been installed the wrong way round. We’ve already booked it for the same event next year!

Great Stay!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Oliver Cromwell cottage near Sudeley Castle. The old paper mill is tastefully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms, kitchen, living area, dinnerware, cutlery, cooking utensils.... everything was stunning. The extra special bonus was entry to Sudeley Castle which is awe inspiring!! We had a superb 2 night stay and would highly recommend it if you get the chance. The surrounding nature and stone cottages and terraces are postcard beauty - we couldn't get enough of Winchcombe.

Great location!

We loved the convenience of this location for exploring the castle and area. The cottage was very comfortable and cozy. It was also very clean except for the many large dead black flies all over the bathrooms which led us to wonder if chemicals had been sprayed shortly before our arrival. We also tried to no avail to get in touch via telephone and email with customer service the day before we departed to request late checkout or bag storage while we toured but never got a response. Overall a wonderful visit but those two things prevent me from giving 5 stars all around.

Lovely clean rooms with modern facilities in a property full of character. Some nice touches - fans in the room, milk in the fridge - were the icing on the cake. Cleaning fee seems on the high side but the overall price is still a good price for the space you get. A word of warning for first time visitors to Winchcombe - there are various pubs and restaurants in the village but all require booking for a weekend evening (in August at least...) - don't expect to be able to walk in and get food without a reservation!

Short stay in Winchcombe

I wanted somewhere to stay that was convenient for Giffords circus at Sudeley Castle. Bolthole Retreats had properties in the grounds and so I booked Oliver Cromwell. It proved to be absolutely perfect; within easy walking distance of the circus, the castle and Winchcombe. For a two night stay with friends it was excellent value for money compared with a hotel. The property had been sensitivity restored, retaining elements of the original building whilst incorporating modern facilities. The seating area and beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. Entrance to Sudeley Castle and gardens was complementary which was an added bonus. Winchcombe itself is delightful with a range of shops and some excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes. The surrounding area also has plenty of opportunities for visiting.

Unclean and fly infested

Encountered hundreds of dead cluster flies on our arrival, bathroom was unclean with hair and debris clogging up the plug holes. In need of some basic maintenance to bring this up to the supposed 4 star standard. Very disappointing for the price.

Great location

The standard of the accommodation was great but we were overrun with flies. They seemed to lodge in the bathrooms and, fortunately, were close to death. We think it is something to do with the window coverings. One of the dining chairs had a very wobbly leg probably due to the table being close to the fridge so a squeeze past is needed. Perhaps turn the table round slightly? I rang to request an additional key and was told someone would get back to me but never did. Perhaps a container for recycling material could be provided. In the bedroom with the double bed the window leaked onto the carpet but there had been a torrential shower and this may not happen with a lighter shower. We did enjoy our stay and I hope these comments are regarded as constructive.

Oliver Cromwell Apartment

Cleaning was not particularly good with lots and lots of dead flies all over the property. The access corridor and staircase shared with adjoining apartment cleanliness was poor, the carpet clearly not having been cleaned prior to arrival. More significantly, the corridor and staircase which is the sole means of escape from the property and the adjacent apartment had no lighting whatsoever which constitutes a major safety failure and contravenes Part B of the Building Regulations. Some fittings, for example, the free standing lamp in the lounge requires fixing/replacement. Overall, the property was somewhat tired and in need of some refresh work.

Great accommodation , ideal location for beautiful walks

We had a lovely time at Winchcombe staying in the Oliver Cromwell apartment. Ideal location , 2 min walk from the high street but very peaceful and pretty. The Apt was very comfortable , warm , clean with everything you need to make use of. A few small paint areas that need a touch up perhaps , in the shower room for example but everything inside the apt was clean and tidy. Very good location for the walks and hikes, that we came for, in the Cotswold Hills - Sudeley Valley Walk particularly worthwhile with views over the Castle and the Estate and all the surrounding counties, also the walk to Cleeve Common/Hill - even if we got a little muddy across the footpaths ☺these walks are on the Winchcombe.com website and we left print outs in the info folder for other guests use! There are plenty of places/pubs to eat at in the town , good food at the Corner Cupboard and the White Hart. It's great that as a guest in the properties you are able to visit the Sudeley Castle free of charge, this place is lovely, we went on the first day they opened for the season which was Lady Ashcombe's birthday and had cupcakes !! So interesting and learned so much of our English history and the Sudeley past, the gardens and the little chapel were lovely. Worth having the guide's talk before going inside too which brings it all to life. The only thing to mention was just on arrival and the Outer entrance hall to the accommodation was not particularly clean , the carpets needed hoovering and the stairs, also the lights in the hall way did not work so a little tricky trying to see the keyhole to the Oliver Cromwell at night time... First impressions count ! So may be worth noting that the carpets did need a hoover in the access hallway . The apt was absolutely clean though ☺ We loved our break here and would definitely book a cottage / apt again.

The only thing we would like to se changed next time is the silicone in the shower. We think it just has to be renewed. Also the shower is leaking. Apart from that: a wonderful experience. The place was nicely warm when we arrived. We felt absolutely welcome. We certainly recommend this place to our friends.

Do not stay in periods of higher heat.

The two bedrooms here are on the third floor and have very little ventilation. Two of our three nights here the bedrooms were too hot to sleep until the early mornings. This made our sightseeing plans much more difficult to complete. I would cancel any plans to stay here if temps rise above 80F.
