We took our 2 grown up children plus the family of one and the partner of the other. So 8 in all and 2 dogs. Lots of space for all of us in this very well equipped cottage. The cottage was in excellent condition although the bedroom doors can be a bit creaky and there is some traffic noise for the 2 front bedrooms. We had some problem getting the heating to work initially. The boiler was in the roof and the pressure was low. But on a Sunday night 2 cheerful maintenance men turned out and fixed the problem. If this cottage is typical and I’m sure it is, then it is an excellent choice. The Castle and town are only a few minutes away with lots of walking opportunities from the doorstep.

It is a lively house and very well equipped. A lot of thought has gone into making it comfortable. It is in a really good position with a lovely garden too

Great place to stay literally in the town but didn't feel like it loads of space in the property so you weren't on top of each other. Glad we could take dog as there was loads of walks around the area, garden was great but not fully fenced in so needed to be mindful when dog was out in garden with us. That being said it was a great place to stay and the town of Winchcombe was lovely with nice pubs to eat and drink but the kitchen in the property was brilliant if you want to cook for yourself. 3 double bedrooms with ensuite and a room with 2 single beds so that was great as well as you don't get that in many places.

We love staying in those cottages , have been for each Fantasy Forest Festivals, from smaller ones to the larger ones. They are beautiful and the location is ideal. Very practical with parking, love the BBQ and garden . Each decors beautiful and in keeping . Only little negative, for a cottage for 8 people such a tiny fridge, same size as a cottage for 4 people, also there is never enough loo rolls but at least we remembered to bring some along . Last feedback : miroirs, one in each room would be so useful, especially for the rooms that share a bathroom . Stunning place to stay and cannot wait to return . Checking in is also super easy.

We stayed at Archers for a joint birthday family weekend. The cottage was very well appointed with a good welcome pack and was an excellent size and layout for our party of 7 adults and a dog. The cottage was very close to the town so easy access to the pubs/restaurants and shops and great position for lots of walks so no need to use the cars. An excellent time was had by us all and we would definitely stay again.

Seamless stay in wonderfully appointed cottage in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Excellent location / 2 min walk into town and 5 mins to castle. Very well equipped, thoroughly clean and comfortable.

We had a lovely time at Archers it is very nicely decorated and positioned for Winchcombe, the castle and surrounding area. We had a slight issue with the heating which was mostly too hot! And could definitely do with a bigger fridge with eight people staying. The twin beds in one room were so high my tiny mother in law would have needed a ladder!

Had a fabulous stay at Archers. Party of 7 enjoying a weekend away. Perfect-will definitely return.

Lovely cottage with the addition of Sudeley Castle on the door step. Winchcombe has all you need for a small getaway. Its location is excellent for exploring the Cotswolds. Cottage was clean and tidy, although a couple of “attention to detail” repairs need to be made, not sure where to report these. Wonky / unusable bathroom mirror in family bathroom, baseboard on dishwasher and dishwasher need fixing in place, light switch in one of the bedrooms and some cosmetic touch ups. Bedrooms could do with mirrors for makeup, hairdryer use.

Good access to Sudeley Castle and Winchcombe. Comfortable, well equipped cottage and pleasant garden. Perfect for family holiday.

We adored our stay at Archers! It's a charming cottage with enough rustic "character" to give us a quaint Cotswold experience but enough modern amenities to make for a very comfortable and easy stay. It was the perfect size for our group of four, and we enjoyed making meals in the lovely (large!) kitchen. The garden is very nice, and the location within 5-minute walking distance to Winchcombe (and an easy walking distance to Sudeley Castle) was perfection. One thing to note is that the cottage is attached to other cottages in a little courtyard, so it's not stand-alone. We liked that setup, as the neighbors were quiet and it felt very safe. Our only minor complaint was that the mattresses were a little firm for our taste. Otherwise, all was great and we would certainly recommend and stay again.

My favourite so far of the Sudely Castle cottages. Very roomy and comfortable, beautifully fitted out and having so many bathrooms worked perfectly for our little group of friends attending an event at the castle. The only slight criticism was the fridge size, for a house accommodating 8 people, the fridge was very small!

A lovely property in an excellent location. Park the cars on arrival and no need to use them again until you leave. Archers is very well equipped and has some “extras” not found in most holiday lets. Mirrors in some of the bedrooms would be useful, hairdryers need a very long lead to see in bathroom mirrors! Free entry to Sudeley Castle is a fabulous bonus. We’ll be back.

Archers is a lovely cottage with all the amenities you need. The garden is a lovely place to relax after a day spent walking. The lounge area was very spacious. The only minor problem was a lack of space to store food supplies. We cleared one cupboard of cooking utensils so that we could put our food away. The barbecue was an added bonus and much bigger than we expected. The cottages are very well located in the heart of Winchcombe and within walking distance of shops and pubs. A great location to be based for walking.

The house is charming - well appointed, with basics and some luxuries provided. Lots of space for family to gather, eat, talk. Kitchen was large enough to manage making meals for six adults. Bedrooms were comfortable, distinct and charming. Lots of oak beams and olde worlde features as you'd expect but careful modernisation. The location is excellent in terms of walks from the doorstep and going into the heart of the village (good range of pubs but watch restaurant opening days). Parking was plentiful. Only slight negative was the at the garden is not fully enclosed so we had to keep a careful watch of our lab. But that was a minor point. Everything else was fab and we will be back.

We booked the cottage for a family celebration - it was perfect, everything went to plan, even the weather. The location was spot on - we went round the castle and gardens - and the cottage itself was very well equipped with plenty of absolutely everything for eight people. The only thing we would have liked was more fridge space as we had a few extra guests during the day on Saturday! Winchcombe itself was picturesque and we found everyone in the town to be welcoming and friendly. We would defintely book again. The Welcome Pack was really informative!

The house is clean, well equipped and tastefully furnished. It also has a large attractive garden. It is located a very short walk from both Winchcombe High Street and Sudeley Castle, to which entrance is free if you stay here. Both Winchcombe and the castle are charming. A lovely place to stay, with much to see in the area. Highly recommended.

Great house, close to glorious walks, with the benefit of free entry to Sudeley Castle and grounds. My sisters, husband and I thought it an excellent place for a short holiday.

Beautiful stay and location, opportunity to walk to Sudeley Castle is very welcome. Town Centre is also very close by with everything you need for a short break.

We had a wonderful family get together at Archers. The downstairs rooms are ideal with a sizeable dining area and an attractive, spacious living room. The kitchen is well equipped, the kitchen table means that this is yet another lovely room to enjoy a cup of tea and cake! Upstairs there are comfortable bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms. The location is excellent, we could walk from the front door. The town is just a couple of minutes walk up the hill and we enjoyed a wander round, the deli was particularly inviting. In the evening, we had a lovely meal at one of the pubs.

Archers Cottage was perfect for our Christmas stay. The rooms were really comfortable (especially the beds!) and it was great they had ensuites. The kitchen was well equipped and the range oven great for cooking Christmas dinner. It was exactly as described and the owners really helpful. Winchcombe was also an excellent base for the Cotswolds.

A lovely cottage , in a perfect location. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need. Winchcombe is a lovely town with plenty of restaurants, all within walking distance of the cottage

A comfortable cottage sleeping up to 8 with 3 doubles and 2 single beds. Heating is very good and keeps the cottage nice and warm. 2 dogs can be accommodated. There is a lawned garden at the back which would be lovely in the warmer months, however there is a drop to the road so young children need to be supervised. There is a chained fence but it is not adequate. Comfy sofas inside the cottage which is quite spacious. The kitchen does not have enough storage space for 8 people. The fridge is small. Cupboards are full of pans so you have to fit dry food alongside. There is a pantry but it is full of crocks. Wooden and stone floors downstairs, carpeted upstairs. I would stay again as it is very comfortable and because of the location.

We were a group of 4 quite picky couples in our 50’s and 60’s but despite numerous cobwebs around (that must’ve been there some time…) we found the property very clean, comfortable well maintained and equipped. Lovely spot and took advantage of free entry to the castle which was very interesting. Couple of niggles were lack of mirrors in bedrooms ( only one in bathroom but tricky drying hair) and insufficient comfy seating for 8 adults ( 2x3 seater sofas and one armchair leaving one unlucky person on a hard dining chair)

Beautiful house, inside and out. I have stayed in a couple of properties on the Sudeley castle estate and none have ever disappointed. The property is maintained and furnished to a high standard without losing the relaxing feel of a holiday break. This property has only one negative. It is located adjacent to a lane leading out of Winchcombe past the castle entrance. This lane is busy and you will hear the cars (morning rush hour, evening coming home) especially in the two bedrooms that look onto the lane. If you are used to hearing cars-fine. If you have come for complete quiet-this may not be the house for you.

We booked two cottages via Bolthole in Winchcombe for a family celebration. My wife and I, with one of our daughters and family, were in one. My other daughter and family, my son and partner, and my brother and sister-in-law were in the other (14 Vineyard Street). The guidance we were sent in advance of arrival was quite clear that we weren’t allowed in each other’s house, so I’m afraid there is nothing I can say really about Archers cleanliness, comfort or condition (- and this form won’t let me leave them blank). Customer service was good (- this was a rearranged lockdown booking) but, as with the other cottage, our three day booking meant we only had access to the cottage for 42 hours in reality, hence the vfm assessment.

Archers cottage at Sudeley Castle is a truly lovely cottage, spacious, great location, a short walk to Winchcombe with its good range of independent shops and cafes. There is a bus service into Cheltenham and it is easy to drive to many other attractions and there are many walks with good views. The cottage was well equipped, clean and suited the multi age family group - 3 months, 2, 30's and 60's. The garden was lovely to sit in and parking was easy. The bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms were comfortable and showers/bath provided good hot water with plenty of towels for each guest. My only comment would be that each of the adult guests did not find the mattresses on the beds comfortable and where available had to put spare duvets over the mattress toppers. I would recommend this cottage and would stay there again.

Four days spent in the beautiful property, Archers in Winchcombe. The property was spotlessly clean, with lovely soft sheets and towels in spacious bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped but the broken shelves in the fridge made storage for 8 guests a bit tricky. Parking for a large group was very generous and a free visit to Sudeley Castle included in the cost of rental made it extremely good value. Would highly recommend a visit to this lovely old house.

As a family of six, we stayed in Archers at Sudeley Castle for one week in August. The location of the property was excellent, with free access to Sudeley Castle, and overall the property was good with plenty of space, however we felt that there were a few points that could be improved on for people wanting to rent the property for more than a couple of nights. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped but there was no cupboard space to store food and the fridge was very small if you are trying to cater for eight people. The beds were all firm, and whilst there was some hanging space within built-in wardrobes the storage space for clothes was very limited, again not a problem for a short stay. The showers were all excellent with plenty of hot water. The garden was lovely, plenty of parking nearby and lots of walking trails on the doorstep. One other minor point was there was only one key for the property. We would happily stay at this property again as overall we had a great holiday in this home.

Wonderful property and location. Will happily return !

We have had a wonderful stay at Archers Cottage. The cottage is very clean and tidy with newly updated bathrooms and lovely powerful showers. Good size bedrooms, very useful to have our own showers and toilets too. The garden is a good size with a huge bbq which we put to good use on a sunny evening! Only area for improvement would be that the garden is not fully secure to the side so we had to keep an eye on our dogs/put them on lead whilst they were outside. Fantastic location, a short walk into the village town centre with a tasty bakery, pub, fish and chip shop and quaint shops for souvenirs etc. Fantastic that you can get free access to Sudeley castle and gardens included in the stay, which is a lovely touch. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would certainly recommend to others. Thank you!

We stayed at Archers to celebrate my Mum's 80th birthday and it is a wonderful cottage. As it was a very hot weekend we spent nearly all the weekend outside in the garden. However, there is a path that has gates either side at the bottom of the garden and we later discovered that this was used by people in the village on a regular basis. We had 2 dogs with us so this was not ideal and there is no mention of this in any of the details. I have emailed the company and have not had a response - I would seriously consider not booking here if you have children that may be in the garden as it is clearly not acceptable to have "strangers" walking through the garden.
