“We loved our stay at Sixpenny Cottage, a sweet small name for a large and accommodating house.”

Our stay at Sixpenny Cottage went above and beyond our expectations. The house is so beautifully decorated, so warm, and supplied with everything a large family could need, we were free to enjoy ourselves over Christmas 2021.

“We had a fabulous week staying at Sixpenny Cottage.”

It is a little tardis and comfortably housed nine people for the week. The property works particularly well for cooking and entertaining inside. The kitchen, dining and lounge areas are all open and work really well together and are beautifully decorated and presented - as is the rest of the Cottage. In spite of an atrocious week as far as the weather was concerned, we had a great week - and Sixpenny Cottage more than played its part in that. Neil and Rachel Everyone was impressed with the kitchen and how well it was stocked for entertaining a large number of people

“We had a lovely stay at Sixpenny Cottage.”

We enjoyed the downstairs area in particular; the kitchen was well equipped, and the area was very spacious. The location was also great, and we were able to walk into Bourton in the Water directly from the property. Thanks for a great stay!

“This was such a fantastic trip!”

We booked for 11 of us for a weekend to celebrate a friend's 30th. The house is super comfortable, eccentrically decorated and was perfect for what we wanted - a good hideout for sitting around, playing games, watching rugby and country walks. The kitchen - important because we cooked mega meals - is equipped with EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. Honestly, it has absolutely everything you could need - even an old fashioned waffle iron! It's also generous with space, lots of storage for food and drinks, and still open plan so those who are cooking can still be involved in the rest of the house. Beds are exceptionally comfortable, house was warm and dry, and the neighbours were very kind when one of us accidentally (in the dark) slid into the grass entrance to a farm and helped tow his car out. Would definitely book again!

“We absolutely loved the cottage, it was an ideal setting for a winter weekend away.”

Really beautiful and you can see that the owner/ character cottages has spent a long time making this space what it is. All the small details make this cottage so special and we loved how open plan the ground floor was. The views in the morning were stunning as were the stars in the night!

“Great location as the entire Cotswolds is in touching distance.”

The village is not a tourist location and you will get the proper feel of living in a reclusive village-style environment together with the period styled property all in all is a great experience. The drive off the main road to the property is in itself very enjoyable. Great views just as the pics described. The impressive size of the property as we were a party of 9 and had ample living area.

“Very comfortable and stylish.”

We loved the open plan living space as it meant the whole family could spend time together for the weekend. The view on the patio is beautiful too. Very quiet and peaceful. We’d highly recommend staying here!

About the location

CHELTENHAM

Tewkesbury 5.9 miles; Cirencester 14.7 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 30 miles;

Cheltenham is a town in Gloucestershire and lies beneath Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds and above the vale of the River Severn. It is known as 'The Western Gateway to the Cotswolds'. This edge-of-the Cotswolds spa town is hard to beat for refined elegance and Regency terraces, annual festivals, Ladies' College and racecourse. Also fortnightly farmers markets, classy shops and restaurants all surrounded by glorious countryside. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, 4 days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at Cheltenham Racecourse. It's also known for Regency buildings, including the Pittville Pump Room, a remnant of Cheltenham’s past as a spa town. There's fine art at The Wilson museum, and the Victorian Everyman Theatre has an ornate auditorium.

Note: Parking for two cars is available: one space is in front of the property, with the second space on the driveway, however the driveway is quite steep, so it is only suitable for a 4x4 vehicle; further quiet on-street parking is available in the village.

Note: The property is on a hill and has a terraced garden, which has some unprotected ledges therefore young children should therefore be supervised outside at all times.

Note: This property has multiple floors and there are steep stairs to the second floor, which could pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility.

Note: No stag/hen or similar parties.
