About this cottage rental

This apartment cottage is named after King Charles I, who took refuge at Sudeley Castle after his failed siege of Gloucester during the English Civil War.

Entrance to the apartment is via one of two outdoor staircases (at each end of the Old Forge) and the shared decking area, which faces a pretty lawn and the footpath to Sudeley Castle.

The first floor has a bright and light open plan living area, dining area and fully equipped kitchen, with a stunning central window overlooking the main courtyard. A pretty, divided staircase leads up to the double bedroom to the right and the single bedroom and bathroom to the left.

Note: the three Old Forge apartment cottages have restricted headroom in parts of the bedrooms and landing areas due to the original oak beams and A-frame structure.

Ground Floor
Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
Stepping into the living room from the decking area, you'll immediately be struck by the original and huge Old Forge window that is the centrepiece of the downstairs floor in Charles I, making this a very bright and welcoming apartment furnished with country cottage fabrics.

At the entrance, you will find an understair cupboard housing a travel cot, stair gate, highchair, iron, ironing board, airer, as well as the Welcome Dog Basket (with stainless steel bowl and blanket).

A comfortable sofa, sink-in armchair with a footstool and wooden antique chair provide plenty of seating for 4 in the living area. In addition, the living area is furnished with an oak coffee table, occasional tables, a Freeview TV and DVD player.

The fully equipped kitchen, overlooking the decking and garden, has a country-cottage feel, with fresh off-white coloured and wooden work surfaces. The kitchen has all the appliances, cookware, crockery and glassware you need for a self-catering holiday, including an oven/hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine and washer/dryer. (See ‘Facilities' above for further details.) A welcome pack of teabags, Nespresso coffee pods, hot chocolate, milk, biscuits, jam/honey mini pots, boiled sweets are provided for your first day at the Cottage.

Extending from the kitchen is a spacious dining area with a round, oak dining table and chairs for 4 that overlooks the main Sudeley Cottages courtyard.

First Floor
Bedroom 1:
The master bedroom is furnished with an oak frame standard double bed, bedside tables and individual overbed lights with reading and room lighting. This dual aspect bedroom, with windows to the front and back, has a handy dressing area with hanging cupboard - also the perfect place to set up a little one's travel cot.

Bedroom 2:
Furnished with an oak frame single bed, bedside table and individual overbed light with reading and room lighting, this is a cosy bedroom with views to the rear over the garden and decking area. A small hanging cupboard (for shirts and jackets), chair and vanity shelf with mirror provide lots of space for guests' clothes and personal items.

Family Bathroom:
Adjacent to Bedroom 2 is the family bathroom, with a large walk-in shower (with a fixed over-head rain shower and detachable handheld shower head) toilet, sink with shaver unit and heated towel rail.

Outside
Guests of Charles I share a lovely wooden decking area (with the George III and Prince Rupert apartments) that looks out over a communal garden lawn and a footpath that leads to Sudeley Castle. Each apartment has its own private seating area with table and chairs for 4 guests.

A great location for walking with many paths pretty much straight from the door. The Cotswold way to Hailes Abbey then on to Farmcote and so to pick up the Gloucestershire Way back was a delight with great views

The cottage was lovely and very close to sudeley castle which we visited twice. The steam train was a 20 minute walk away and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the train. Lots of lovely walks from the cottage. The stairs in the cottage were very creaky which is to be expected in such an old property. The weather was a bit wet for our stay but we found plenty of things to do locally .

We spent 3 days here and had a great time. Cottage is well equipped with new modern kitchen and all you need for a stay. Town is just a few minutes walk. Drive to Bath, Stonehenge, and Wales for day trip was simple. Sat on patio enjoying the quiet with drinks and snacks.

Very good overall. Excellent kitchen and shower. Bed was very comfortable. Outside space very nice. The carpets are starting to show signs of wear. Couldn’t get the lights to work in the main bedroom to work but we managed with a lamp. Wi-Fi just about good enough. A more modern TV would be a nice edition . Maybe one of the smaller properties could be dog free for those with allergies. Fabulous location for Sudeley Castle and lovely walks.
