Located on the Sudeley Castle estate, just a short walk from the castle and its gardens, this quaint eighteenth-century cottage catches the eye with a beautiful Cotswold stone exterior. Positioned on the outskirts of historic Winchcombe, you'll benefit from incredible views of the village as well as easy access to plenty of cafes, shops and restaurants – this is an excellent base from which to explore the Cotswold's outstanding natural beauty. Inside the cottage, a cosy wood-burning stove awaits – perfect for cold nights in – especially after a day spent walking through this idyllic scenery. The country-chic kitchen, dining table for eight and wonderful garden with expansive views are just the icing on the cake. If you'd like a change from the picture-postcard villages, then the charming town of Cheltenham is just eight miles away, while the beautiful cities of Oxford and Bath are a little over an hour's drive.
