About this cottage rental

Named after Princess Elizabeth, who visited the castle on several occasions and who would later in her life become the infamous Queen Elizabeth I of England, this lovely cottage was originally part of a paper mill, which was restored to make two cottages (Lady Jane Grey and Princess Elizabeth) and two apartments (St Kenelm and Oliver Cromwell), preserving the original exposed walls and beams throughout. (St Kenelm sits directly above Princess Elizabeth and Oliver Cromwell sits directly above Lady Jane Grey.)

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Guests enter from a covered porch into a small hallway, with handy coat hooks, and pass-through to an open-plan and very well-equipped kitchen with under stairs storage (baby and cleaning equipment). The kitchen windows look out onto the private courtyard.
Off the kitchen, and down three stairs, is the dining area with a large oak table, comfortably seating 4 guests. At the end of this large open-plan space is the living area, which leads out to the private courtyard.
Upstairs there is one double bedroom a king-size bed and one spacious twin bedroom, as well as a family bathroom with a full-size bath and over-bath shower.

Free entry to Sudeley castle is a nice bonus. Assistance with issues (they were only small ones) were dealt with promptly. Good proximity to village and supermarkets

We enjoyed our stay and look forward on coming back. The cottage had all the amenities as a home with a full kitchen and living room. We also enjoyed the convenient location to the center of town.

We had a wonderful time at the Princess Elizabeth Cottage. The setting is second to none. Beautiful scenery and only a 10 minute walk to the castle. The only negatives no dishwasher tablets, and the frying pan was not compatible with the induction stove top.

Princess Elizabeth cottage is in great location near Sudeley Castle, and walking distance to Winchcombe. The location of the cottage is undoubtedly the main positive aspect, as well as the large and well equipped kitchen. The rest of the cottage is unfortunately run down and in serious need of maintenance. The couches are worn out, the brown carpet is also worn out and stained, most windows have black mold on them, one of the beds had missing slats, various things in the bathroom are not working, and generally it needs a much more thorough clean. Overall, this is disappointing and not good value for money.

We stayed because we were going to a wedding at Sudeley Castle. Location was perfect, a few minutes drive away. The cottage had everything we needed and was a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

The cottage was large enough. the people before us, checked out late, so the cleaning staff were rushing to get it cleaned up for our check in. the floors were not very clean and it looked like something had been splased on one of the kitchen walls. The furniture in the living room, very tired and worn out, not comfortable. One of the dining chairs was all torn. We were disappointed in the cottage`s condition. I stayed at the Gate house five years ago and loved it.
