We stayed for 7 nights with our 2 young children in the beautiful town of Winchombe. We'd definitely stay here again. The cottage is renevated really nicely and the kitchen diner area is so nice. Be sure to bring bun bags, dishwasher tablets etc. There were some issues, there were quite a lot of dog hairs and clothes were covered. The lights in living room flash non stop. Parking is an issue, be prepared to have to pay £4 per day to park in short stay a few minutes away. All minor issues for us and overall everything with excellent. Thank you so much for a great holiday.

We appreciate you bringing to our attention the issues you encountered and have taken steps to rectify these. Regarding the parking, we have now put together more detailed instructions which we will be sending out to all future guests. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

“A lovely property that encompasses a modern feel in the country.”

It is finished to a wonderfully high standard that I’d happily recommend to others. Some additional information in the email about collecting the key specifically mentioning to come in through the back door would be really useful as we spent about 10 minutes trying to get in through the front door. The bath is lovely although a bit small considering there is no shower.

- Amelia, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your feedback on the size of the bathroom. Your suggestions for improvement will be taken into full consideration and we hope to welcome you back to Abbots Cottage in the future. Property Owner

“Our only problem was the lights in the living room kept flashing and we were told that an electrician would be round to resolve this.”

We can only assume this didn't happen as the lights were flickering for our whole stay. So we were reduced to using the standard lamp only unless we wanted the Disco effect.

- Christine, March 2022

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We are so sorry to hear of the light issue you experienced during your stay. We have been informed by the owner that the light has now been fixed by the engineer, and unfortunately, they were unable to make it to the cottage during your stay due to extensive road closures in the area. We hope this did not leave a lasting impact on your stay as we would love to welcome you back any time in the future and thank you once again for providing us with your feedback. Property Owner

The property

Abbots Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed property which sleeps four guests, in two stylish bedrooms, with a modern family bathroom. Dating back to the 17th century, this wonderful home away from home retains a traditional façade and a wealth of character features including a lovely inglenook fireplace with a cosy wood burning stove in the living room. Limestone flooring, exposed beams and exposed stone walls have been beautifully complemented by contemporary interiors and modern facilities, such as wireless internet access, a Smart TV with an Amazon Prime and Netflix's subscription and a well-equipped kitchen. The enclosed terrace provides a tranquil setting for al fresco dining, and free on-street parking is readily available close by. Abbots Cottage is situated in the heart of the vibrant market town of Winchcombe, an ancient Saxon settlement known as the walking capital of the Cotswolds. The town benefits from a variety of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and also plays host to many regular events, ranging from open gardens and tea dances to festivals and fundraisers. As well as eateries and events, it is also home to popular tourist attractions including the historic Sudeley Castle and the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway which makes a stop in Winchcombe to pick up passengers on its 28-mile round trip. Winchcombe is surrounded by breathtaking countryside with a vast number of walks and cycle routes on its doorstep to discover. The renowned Cotswold Way long distance walking trail passes through the town and features on many circular walks in the area, including an energetic hike up to Belas Knap, a Neolithic long barrow managed by English Heritage. It is also well placed for exploring the many other picturesque towns and villages of the North Cotswolds such as Cheltenham, Chipping Campden, Broadway and Snowshill, the latter being home to Snowshill Manor and the Lavender Fields, a must see in the summer months. Further afield destinations such as Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford are easily accessible for day trips.

About the location

WINCHCOMBE

Cheltenham 8 miles; Broadway 9 miles; Gloucester 17 miles.

The bustling Fairtrade town of Winchcombe, a conservation site, lies above the River Isbourne, midway between Cheltenham and Broadway. Visitors can sample a mouthwatering array of local produce in the town's restaurants, wine bars, tea shops and deli's, or stroll around the eclectic range of local shops, all located along the three main streets, which remain full of character with their honey coloured stone and timbered exterior. The town also plays host to music and arts festivals, country shows and farmers’ markets. Guided walks around the town are on offer throughout the summer months, while Winchcombe lies on the intersection of the Cotswold Way, Gloucestershire Way, Warden's Way and Windrush Way, providing ample walking to suit all abilities. The quintessential English village of Broadway is just a short drive away and offers individual shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and hotels, including the world-renowned Lygon Arms, popular for centuries and now offering spa facilities. The regency spa town of Cheltenham boasts beautiful Georgian architecture and a delightful range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, including the famous racecourse. Many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages lie to the east, whilst to the west is the waterfront city of Gloucester and the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean. The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath, Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick, with its magnificent castle, are all within an hour’s drive.
