Well equipped cottage to recuperate after long walks. 2 good showers. Comfortable, warm. 5 minute walk from town.

We had a wonderful stay at the Oliver Cromwell cottage near Sudeley Castle. The old paper mill is tastefully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms, kitchen, living area, dinnerware, cutlery, cooking utensils.... everything was stunning. The extra special bonus was entry to Sudeley Castle which is awe inspiring!! We had a superb 2 night stay and would highly recommend it if you get the chance. The surrounding nature and stone cottages and terraces are postcard beauty - we couldn't get enough of Winchcombe.

Lovely clean rooms with modern facilities in a property full of character. Some nice touches - fans in the room, milk in the fridge - were the icing on the cake. Cleaning fee seems on the high side but the overall price is still a good price for the space you get.
A word of warning for first time visitors to Winchcombe - there are various pubs and restaurants in the village but all require booking for a weekend evening (in August at least...) - don't expect to be able to walk in and get food without a reservation!

We had a wonderful time. The apartment is great and the location is perfect. Changes? The front door key is awkward and the bedside lighting too low. Apart from that all good.

I wanted somewhere to stay that was convenient for Giffords circus at Sudeley Castle. Bolthole Retreats had properties in the grounds and so I booked Oliver Cromwell. It proved to be absolutely perfect; within easy walking distance of the circus, the castle and Winchcombe. For a two night stay with friends it was excellent value for money compared with a hotel. The property had been sensitivity restored, retaining elements of the original building whilst incorporating modern facilities. The seating area and beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped.
Entrance to Sudeley Castle and gardens was complementary which was an added bonus. Winchcombe itself is delightful with a range of shops and some excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes.
The surrounding area also has plenty of opportunities for visiting.

We had a lovely time at Winchcombe staying in the Oliver Cromwell apartment. Ideal location , 2 min walk from the high street but very peaceful and pretty. The Apt was very comfortable , warm , clean with everything you need to make use of. A few small paint areas that need a touch up perhaps , in the shower room for example but everything inside the apt was clean and tidy. Very good location for the walks and hikes, that we came for, in the Cotswold Hills - Sudeley Valley Walk particularly worthwhile with views over the Castle and the Estate and all the surrounding counties, also the walk to Cleeve Common/Hill - even if we got a little muddy across the footpaths ☺these walks are on the Winchcombe.com website and we left print outs in the info folder for other guests use! There are plenty of places/pubs to eat at in the town , good food at the Corner Cupboard and the White Hart. It's great that as a guest in the properties you are able to visit the Sudeley Castle free of charge, this place is lovely, we went on the first day they opened for the season which was Lady Ashcombe's birthday and had cupcakes !! So interesting and learned so much of our English history and the Sudeley past, the gardens and the little chapel were lovely. Worth having the guide's talk before going inside too which brings it all to life. The only thing to mention was just on arrival and the Outer entrance hall to the accommodation was not particularly clean , the carpets needed hoovering and the stairs, also the lights in the hall way did not work so a little tricky trying to see the keyhole to the Oliver Cromwell at night time... First impressions count ! So may be worth noting that the carpets did need a hoover in the access hallway . The apt was absolutely clean though ☺ We loved our break here and would definitely book a cottage / apt again.

A very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend a stay at this convenient location close to the High Street and its amenities as well as Sudeley Castle.

The only thing we would like to se changed next time is the silicone in the shower. We think it just has to be renewed. Also the shower is leaking. Apart from that: a wonderful experience. The place was nicely warm when we arrived. We felt absolutely welcome. We certainly recommend this place to our friends.

The best thing about the property is the location. Short walk to Winchcombe and the castle. No outside space. Well equipped and clean. Beds not very comfy! There is building work at the moment which started 8am Monday. Apart from that a lovely quiet spot.

Comfortable with ups and downs.
Comfortable and clean but the stairs leading to the door in addition to peculiar stairs inside the unit mean I will choose a different unit next time.

Do not stay in periods of higher heat.
The two bedrooms here are on the third floor and have very little ventilation. Two of our three nights here the bedrooms were too hot to sleep until the early mornings. This made our sightseeing plans much more difficult to complete. I would cancel any plans to stay here if temps rise above 80F.

A lovely weekend wedding break
The Oliver Cromwell apartment was a lovely place to stay for a weekend wedding at Sudeley Castle. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and was very comfortable. The beds were comfy and the cottage was really clean. We would recommend for a short break or for guests attending a wedding. We also enjoyed having free entry to the castle and grounds included in our stay.

Great location and nice apartment for a few days
We were only there for two nights, as I suspect many will be. The apartment is well equipped but I imagine, like us, most will eat out and the kitchen, although we’ll equipped will be unused. The only really odd thing was the fridge didn’t have a place to stand a milk carton. The door, where you’d normally stand it was designed to prevent this so we had to remove a shelf and stand it in the veg box, really odd and I thought bizarre.
Beds and bathrooms were good and lots of parking.
The location is great for a short walk to the village and to visit the castle which is free for guests. And we’ll worth a look; we went twice!
All in all a very nice weekend with lots of scope for things to do and a nice place to stay.

Lovely comfortable apartment
We were very pleased with the apartment and enjoyed our stay very much. We certainly would return especially because of its position, close proximity to the town and to the castle. We also enjoyed visiting the castle.

Tired but functional and spacious
For a great price, you can stay very close to the heart of Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle. The property could do with some love and you should prepare yourself for a hideous, old brown carpet but you can't beat it for price!

Great place, we'll return!
The apartment is spacious and has a lot of natural light. It is well presented and very clean. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve family meals. Location is excellent for both local walks and short trips to Cotswolds highlights. Booking was very simple and communication with the local staff was excellent. We're looking forward to our next stay there!

Lovely short break at Sudeley Castle
Lovely short break in an apartment at Sudeley Castle. Exceptionally clean and equipped with everything you need. Comfortable beds and super soft towels. Apartment was on a beautiful complex a couple of minutes walk from the restaurants and pubs. Was a birthday treat so we wanted something special but expensive so definitely not something we could afford every often!

Exceptionally Clean
Very good location as it is just a short walk to the local shops and has some lovely walks nearby too. The apartment was comfortable and very clean which is a nice surprise when so many places these days seem to lack care in the cleaning department. I always take cleaning products with me but didn't require them on this occasion. Everything we needed was also provided including tin foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets, coffee and hot chocolate pods, milk, jam, loo rolls and lots of hand wash and sanitisers. Some of the furniture was a bit tired but I think they are going for an antique look. The dining chairs probably need replacing soon. The rest though was absolutely fine and we enjoyed our stay. Extremely white towels and lots of them.

Lovely cottage in a good location... 2 mins walk into Winchcombe. Kitchen well equipped. Only slight negative was the numerous flys in the cottage entrance on arrival.

Family time
I booked this for my son and family to ease space in our house on a special family get together.
They loved it and it was very near the rest of us in Winchcombe. The little uns loved their room and their own bathroom!
Will do this again!

Short family break
We stayed for 2 nights with 2 young boys and we loved it. Great that there are 2 bathrooms and a decent sized living space. Really appreciated the free entry to Sudeley Castle, which is a great day out for the family, even young ones. So close to the High Street as well, so we were so happy we chose Sudeley Cottages.

Short, post lock-down stay
Clean, tidy and well equipped cottage. Milk in the fridge and biscuits were a very nice touch! Thank you!

A well situated property but needs some work!
The arrival process was very simple, and parking was ample. The cottage was picturesque but needed work doing to it. The double bed was very hard and uncomfortable and the bedding was of poor quality. Every single floorboard creaked, so being quiet with the children in bed was almost impossible. The dining chairs, whilst rustic and in keeping with the property were unusable due to two of them having collapsed seats. There was also no ventilation/fans provided for what was quite a hot week and sleeping was uncomfortable, the velux window in the main bathroom was jammed and we couldn't open it. The location was good, and the surrounding area with Sudeley Castle and good change from our norm, and the children had a good time.

A weekend stay in the Cotswolds to visit Sudely Castle
Great location in a picturesque setting among similar cottages on the Sudeley estate. There is plenty of parking and the complex is easy to find
The booking process was straightforward and I was sent a comprehensive package detailing the cottage facilities with the castle and local area history, showing places of interest and local walks.
The cottage itself was spotless and well equipped. One thing that did let it down was that the sofa was pretty badly stained.
We had a lovely time and the free entry into the Castle was a great bonus. We would definitely stay at these cottages again.
Thank you.

Best Cotswold location
The location on the castle grounds is idyllic and lovely but the proximity to Winchcombe village is even better. We loved the town of Winchcombe and it was a great place to stay and visit the rest of the Cotswold area. Great place to park the car and just walk to town for a pint and dinner. The cottage was perfectly furnished, clean and comfortable. Perfect stay!

There are lots of steps both in and outside if mobility is an issue.
Highly recommended.

5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful stay
This is a lovely place to stay, although the many steps could make it difficult for some. Everything is to a high standard, but we had some minor criticisms/suggestions -
we accidentally switched off the boiler, meaning we had no hot water until the service engineer arrived (very promptly). The switch should be labelled to warn people not to touch, as it looks like an ordinary light switch
the sink in the ensuite is far too small
there was no hairdryer
there were no kitchen scales, which would have been useful
the baths both drained very slowly. The one in the ensuite was clogged with hair and had not been cleaned properly
These are only minor criticisms; overall this cottage offers excellent accommodation
