Booking and payment
Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own any of the cottages listed on our website. We manage a proportion of cottages within our portfolio and the remaining properties are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for your property manager. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.
For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.
All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.
Security deposits
Security deposits are not required (please note that guests are still liable for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their actions).
Occupancy
The maximum occupancy of the property is four guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than four guests at the property.
Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by one additional infant.
Pets
One medium sized dog, or two small dogs, are accepted, at a cost of £20 per booking per dog.
For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.
Bed linen and towels
Bed linen and towels are provided for guests.

Accessibility, health and safety
This is an old property with character features, including steep stairs and low beams, which is laid out over two floors, and could therefore pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility, or carrying babies, both in terms of their general movement and their ability to exit the house quickly in the event of an emergency.
There are steep steps to the rear of the garden.
The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk.
Smoking
No smoking or vaping is permitted throughout the property.
Photographs
In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.
If you have any queries regarding the size of any rooms or spaces, please do not hesitate to contact us.

-“This is a lovely cottage,the living space downstairs is particularly lovely,the wood burning stove was really wonderful.”, Ilona, February 2020
-"A memorable service for a dear friend who died recently brought us to Winchcombe upset and emotional. We left our lovely comfy home - praying and hoping we would find the same. WE DID! So thank you so much for this wonderful cottage. Hopefully we will be back in happier times as it was pure bliss.", Clive & Margot, January 2020
-"Beautiful cottage, super clean with a lovely garden. Gorgeous spacious bedrooms, comfy beds! Bathroom is gorgeous & so clean as was kitchen. Perfect location for exploring Winchcombe. Sofa is quite small in the living area for 4 people but perfect for 2. Private parking space near the property is great as parking can be tricky in the village. Can’t wait to come back!”, Amy, January 2020
-"Lovely little place in Winchcombe which acts as a great base for exploring the Cotswolds. Owner was very responsive to questions we had. We had our 10 month old baby with us which was great although the hard stone floors downstairs did mean we had to keep a more careful eye on him rather than let him crawl on his own. Thoroughly recommend overall.”, Simon, January 2020
