  The cottage is fantastic.

  It is extrememly well-appointed - one of the best we have ever stayed in. From the fresh flowers, welcome food and drink and Jo Malone toiletries to the tasteful furnishings with high quality bed linen, fluffy towels and comfy beds, there is nothing we would change. It smelt lovely as we walked in, and was spotlessly clean. There was snow outside but it was very cosy and welcoming. Sky TV was included which was a treat for us! The cottage was great for our dog, with a safe enclosed garden and a practical utility room. The rolling Cotswolds countryside is beautiful with plenty of walks and pubs on the doorstep. We had our toddler grandson with us - there was a good quality highchair, travel cot and stairgate, with a small selection of thoughtfully chosen children's books and soft toys which he loved. In fact, he wanted to take one of them home....! The dining kitchen is on the ground floor whilst the main living space is upstairs, so the stairgate was essential. This layout may not suit everyone, but it worked well for us. Claire the housekeeper was very responsive and helpful, but unintrusive which is just the way we like it. We had to shorten our stay at short notice and the owners were very understanding, which we appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful stay - I'm sure we will return.

  Beautifully presented and tucked away off the main high street, everything you could need for a self catering holiday, the wine, biscuits and milk was a lovely treat, and the dog biscuits and cosy bed was definitely appreciated by our 4 legged companion.

  The cottage is an excellent base to explore all that’s on offer in Winchcombe and the surrounding areas from all the well sign posted walking and the heritage steam railway to Sudley castle. The lack of parking wasn’t an issue the long stay car park at a £1.00 day is a 5 minute walk, and loading and unloading the car was achieved by on road parking where you have a hours stay. There is a local shop right opposite the entrance which was handy and a few public houses serving food. The courtyard garden however is not sole use, which was a shock when we returned back to find a party sat right in front of the French windows, it appears to be shared with the postmaster’s accommodation, it is not just access as advertised, so privacy was a issue, it was very hot and we had to keep the dog indoors and keep the French doors closed which wasn’t ideal, there is two tables in separate places but only 4 chairs and said party took them all and a bench; so be aware especially if you have a dog this is a shared open space, with potentially up to 6 people in the accommodation linked to the cottage, there was a little noise from the pub beer garden a few doors down but not late at night and was only because we were blessed with beautiful weather and everyone was sat outside.

  A very comfortable cottage in an excellent location for exploring the Cotswolds.

  A slightly unusual reason for us visiting; I had qualified for the National Annual Brass Band Championships, which was on the Sunday at Cheltenham Racecourse and I decided to extend a weekend in Cheltenham to a week in the Cotswolds staying in this cottage. I am very glad we did so. My wife and I took our border collie and we had several happy days exploring an area neither of us had been to before. Winchcombe is a delightful little town and our dog Skye enjoyed several very pleasant walks, including some from the cottage itself. Access through an entrance beside a shop is different to anything we had experienced before. Once the gate was closed and we were behind the shop, we had total privacy as if we were entering a different world each evening. Having a garden with the cottage was important with a dog, and a dog's bed with dog's treats were very thoughtful extras and much appreciated. If the band qualifies again in future years, we will certainly do the same!

  What a lovely little cottage, equipped with everything you could want for a holiday and more!

  . It is the perfect base for walking the Cotswold way and exploring the area and then coming back to the pubs and restaurants in Winchcombe at the end of the day. The cottage is tucked away and quiet but also convenient to food shops, gift shops and one of the three pubs is less than 100 yards.Visiting Food Fanatics (200 yards) for a coffee and lovely deli food is a must! The cottage has a little garden and takes pets, our girls loved it as much as we did. The owner sent a lovely welcome and let us know how to contact if needed, which was right balance for us between assistance and leaving us to enjoy the cottage. I couldn’t recommend this property and host more highly. We will stay again - what a Gem!
