Lovely setting but really let down by standard/comfort of furniture. Kitchen chairs were disgusting covered in stains and therefore we didn’t want to use them. Beds uncomfortable mattresses inferior. We felt the property was very overpriced for the standard of the interior particularly-very basic and very disappointed

We enjoyed our stay at Castle Gatehouse. Beds were comfortable and space was great for two couples. We loved walking up to castle in morning. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked for our needs. Coffee and tea were provided. The weather was hot and humid so a bit hard to keep upper bedroom cool with limited windows available to open (old building so understand the limitations). Some fans would be helpful. Overall I’d recommend this place.

The gatehouse was lovely and a perfect location but the interior needs some updating. Kitchen chairs & fabric headboard were heavily stained and entire cottage was in need of dusting.

Love staying in the gatehouse as it is close to everything in Winchcombe. This was our second time staying here and hopefully there will be a third!

What a thoroughly delightful and modernized castle gate! It is very well appointed, elegantly done, and feels like a home. The castle and stunning grounds in the backyard are a lovely touch. You could supply a shelf for soap and shampoo in the showers. The bathrooms are well done. Worth every penny.

Stayed at Sudely Castle Gatehouse for four nights. The setting was fantastic and the weather was kind to us. Overall it was a positive experience. The place was clean and inviting. The general maintenance of the property let it down though and whoever checks and maintains needs to do a better job. Just simple things like replacing bulbs, cooker, extractor, bathroom mirror in main bathroom not working (faulty as would not stay on). Shower head rusty and handle missing from shower on off switch. No hook for clothes, robe or towel when in shower. No mirror for use in a vanity situation to lay makeup or near a plug socket for hair drying. Had to sit on the bead to dry hair 2 meters from the mirror and sit on the floor to make up. Good mix of equipment in kitchen but not one pan was non-stick, and no scourer left to clean them with. All of these things are simple enough to do and not a great cost and a fraction of what it costs to stay there. It would turn this property into a 5 star rating rather than the 3 I have given it. My last and lingering feeling was having to leave by 10am and having the cleaning staff waiting at the gate at 5 to 10 for us to leave, just felt like being evicted. A 15 minute grace period before they turned up would have felt much nicer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with friends at the Gatehouse. It was very unique and also comfortably modern in many ways. We were able to visit the castle and ground which were spectacular in the autumn colours. The Gatehouse itself was warm and inviting and it had the added bonus of Netflix, easy parking and washer and dryer. This was great when you are travellers from Australia and have 5 more weeks of travel.

A midweek break in a beautiful property in a stunning setting . complimentary access to the castle and gardens was utilised and we had a very informative 4 hour visit. The gardens and views stunning in autumnal sunshine. the property is warm cosy and very comfortable. All elements are of a high standard . We will certainly look at Bolthole retreats for future holidays .

The house itself was very nice and it had a great location. The welcome guide needs to update the hot water and heater instructions. It does not tell you where the controls are located (in this case the bathroom connected to the adjoining bedroom) and the instructions for how to use it don’t match the device that is there. Other than that it was an amazing stay.

Classic venue to spend a couple of nights on our driving tour through the Cotswolds. Two bedrooms in the Gatehouse. One bedroom and bath is easily accessible for anyone mobility impaired, but the second bedroom has steep stairs up to the bedroom and down to the bathroom. Pack lighter if you're carrying bags. Small kitchen and eating area but sufficient for 4 people. Nice outside sitting area overlooking a sheep grazing field. Lots of locals walking their dogs by the Gatehouse in the early morning. Short walk to a nice bakery and coffee house in the mornings. Also within walking distance to a couple of nice restaurants for dinner, such as The Lion Inn. Washer/dryer in the Gatehouse, but you need your own washing detergent. One detractor - water heater insufficient for 4 people taking showers along with clothes washer and dishwasher. Be mindful you don't try to do too much at the same time. Staying at the Gatehouse provides you free entrance to Sudeley Castle. Highly recommend the Gatehouse for an overnight stay in the Cotswolds.

Customer service awful when have a problem cobwebs lights not ever dusted but was told it was old do this is normal

Expected something unique and it was. Charming location a short walk into village. Sudeley Castle the extended garden. Birds aplenty and even magical bats at dusk and owls at night. Great place to do visits from and lots of local eating venues if you don’t fancy cooking.

Excellent stay in a real castle gatehouse. Very nice to walk to the castle to get some history of England. Every day a lot of people walk by with their dogs and all in a tranquille setting with birds of prey in the air. Everything you need is in the gatehouse.

Pros-Absolutely magical location. Within walking distance to town. Castle grounds great for walking. Castle history fascinating. Nice privacy with the separate bedrooms. Cons- The gatehouse is old so maybe this is why the enormous amount of spiders. (Not afraid) also the kitchen needs something to bake on - no baking sheets for scones or cookies. No tea strainer for loose leaf tea we bought - in UK - surprised us! Not enough Toilet tissue for 4 days. Not enough paper towel for 4 days (we cooked a lot) and no extra blankets. No laundry soap was provided like all other Airbnb’s . We were able to overlook this for the quiet and privacy and charm. But if you want convenience this may not be for you.

Absolutely LOVED our stay! Property is well stocked with amenities. Beds were firm but comfortable. Locals very friendly as they walked their dogs each morning. Will recommend to others!

Fabulous weather meant we spent all our stay outside, which was fortunate as lounge furniture not the most comfortable. dishwasher provided but with only 4 of each size of crockery it meant washing after every meal. suggest investing in additional crockery and upgrading lounge furniture would greatly improve facility Only 3 coat hangers for 4 guests does seem somewhat mean

Was absolutely perfection!!!!! Relaxing, close to everything surrounded by nature and short walk to castle and town. Perfection

The gatehouse has a fun layout to explore. Great location to castle, town, and walking paths within walking distance from gatehouse. Can even cook in kitchen and just stay in or sit on patio and enjoy the veiws.

We booked this property as it looks like a castle, which being the castle gate house, it sort of is. The reason, we were with two friends from the USA and lets face it, the US doesn't have real castles. The booking and checking in process was a doddle and very easy to complete. As we approached the property we got a real Wow factor as it looks so impressive. On entering, you arrive in the kitchen which is equipped with everything you need for a weeks stay, with a good size fridge freezer (not that we did much cooking but was good for the beer, cheese and wine). Up the stairs is a cozy living room. Whilst the seating looks nice, it could do with some more comfortable seating as for 4 adults, we found it somewhat wanting. However this did not detract from our stay. Both bedrooms are very comfortable and have nice en-suites with the downstairs bedroom having a four poster bed. Make sure you shower at separate times as I found the water flow reduce to a dribble in the upstairs one when our friends used the downstairs one at the same time. Our stay also gave us access to Sudeley Castle itself and this is a must as it is a wonderful castle both inside and in the grounds. Despite the couple of drawbacks, I thoroughly recommend a stay here. It's quirky (which I love), it has atmosphere and it has history. Sudeley Castle gate house is a wonderful break in the Cotswolds and it isn't far from many lovely places.

Stunning place to stay, good walks on the doorstep and a beautiful village. Couldn’t fault a thing, clean and cozy, comfy beds and superb bathrooms. Quiet surroundings , outstanding break - nothing more to say really ! We will return!

Very quirky property. Great location very close to village with excellent pubs and restaurants. Cotswold Way walk literally from the gate. We met friends for a weekend with our dogs it was fab.

We spent 2 glorious days in the gatehouse walking sections of the Cotswolds way. The property was well equipped and very cosy. It was a privilege to watch the sunrise and set over the amazing countryside through the mullioned windows. Each room had a dual aspect so you could see the beautiful view in both directions. The kitchen had everything you needed with a fantastic coffee maker. The sitting room was warm and cosy. We loved it and will definitely return. Hopefully we can come back during the castle opening times to take advantage of the free entry. The village is lovely. We had a great meal in the Lion Inn.

Really enjoyed our stay. The building is amazing and the location is brilliant! Good documentation from the agency.

A lovely cottage in a good location to explore the villages nearby. Sudeley Castle a must visit. Great location for walking, with several circular walks straight from your doorstep..

Castle Gatehouse Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our wedding weekend at Sudeley Castle. My bridesmaids and I stayed here on the eve of the wedding and we had such a fun time getting ready and drinking bubbles in surroundings on the wedding morning. We had beautiful weather and the views from the cottage were magical. My husband and I then stayed here on our actual wedding day and it was the perfect location to round off the amazing day we'd had. The cottage was really cosy and comfortable and we would certainly recommend it to others.

Great location within walking distance to interesting village comfortable accommodation, though a little strange that one bedroom was disconnected to the rest of the house.

As a family we can honestly say that the gatehouse at Sudeley Castle and the whole experience of the stay combined with visiting the castle and it’s grounds was truly incredible. This has been the best place we have ever stayed at. We have no comments for improvements or enhancements, we can’t pick a fault with anything. If you want to stay in a location that gives you everything then this is the place.

Approaching the Gatehouse, you immediately get that satisfactory feel that you have made a good choice for your stay. A large plot provides ample parking for our two cars and is attractively presented with nice shrubs and cut lawns. The property itself provided well furnished accommodation with an excellent range of amenities and a good supply of basic foods and toiletries. We spent a very relaxed 4 days at the property which provided us with an ideal location for the activities we like to do. Overall an excellent stay at a lovely characterful property.

We had a wonderful stay despite the suggestion that this was a family friendly property. The kit was there but the layout made sleeping arrangements difficult with a young family (7, 4 & 18 months) and my husband and I needed to stay in the rooms with the children as one room only had access from across the courtyard. We loved the quirky property and the outside safe space that was beautifully kept. There were a few deep clean issues ( under beds and behind things) but in the whole it was of a high standard with all and more of the amenities expected. The kids enjoyed the adventure playground over and over again and the complimentary tickets into Sudeley castle were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you for a memory making stay.

Beautiful setting , Lovely walks and Winchcombe is stunning. . Wonderful restaurants with super staff.

A lovely quirky place to stay. We were lucky with the weather so could sit in the garden and watch the world go by. We would have liked a radio in the kitchen but apart fro that everything was as we would expect.
