A sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 2 bedrooms
Over its vivid and expansive history, Sudeley Castle has played host to many of England’s reigning queens, from Anne Boleyn to Queen Elizabeth. Named in commemoration of all its regal visitors of the past, Queens Cottage is an elegantly converted old engine house that offers guests a stay in a historic setting.
The front outdoor dining area overlooks the estate courtyard and is a lovely spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out for the day, perhaps to Sudeley Castle. The ground floor is spacious and open plan with a comfortable sitting area, dining area and a kitchen to the rear. There is also a family bathroom. In the sitting area one of the sofas can be converted into a double bed. Historic images remind you of this cottages' past and in the living area a discerning picture of Queen Victoria overlooks your adventure planning. At the end of the day this is a lovely place to put your feet up and enjoy a movie night. Upstairs both bedrooms offer plenty of storage and share use of the family shower room.
From your front door you are a short walk from Winchcombe and the country pubs, restaurants and wonderful walks that are on offer. Cheltenham, Cleeve Hill and Bourton and Broadway further afield are all easily reached and well worth a visit during your time here.

Perfect for Sudely Castle
The house was in a great location and all the items you need for a comfortable stay were provided. It was warm with enough space to feel relaxed and not on top of each other. Very clean and the kitchen well presented with all you need for your stay.

Better than home from home!
We used Queen Cottage as a base to attend a wedding and WOW it helped to make a special occasion even more memorable. It accommodated 6 of us so distant family could join us and enjoy the event too. It is in a secluded court but fairly close to Winchcombe with its lovely food places. You enter a very large lounge/kitchen which is amazingly so well equipped with supplies for all of us. Two upstairs bedrooms with very comfortable beds and the bed/settee in the lounge gave everyone a good night's sleep. The car park is 25 yards away through a beautiful arched driveway. We are so glad that this was recommended to us and it is part of a wonderful weekend

Wonderful
Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location, we loved our stay. The only improvement we would suggest would be the temperature of the shower which occasionally would turn very cold and then become warm again after a minute

Great family cottage
Overall a great place for families to stay. Well located and have all the amenities including for babies. We stayed here with our parents and kids and everyone was quite comfortable.
Just one suggestion - the downstairs bath can have a shower curtain so that it can be used without making much mess.

The Queen's Cottage was perfect for our visit to Sudeley Castle and Winchcombe. It was spacious, clean and just as described. Entry into the castle was free with our stay which was an extra bonus. Not a lot of dining options in town.

Really Lovely Place for Four
We loved this property. Open plan and very comfortable. The bathrooms were great. We were walking the Cotswold Way and this was very conveniently placed. Great pubs and restaurants just up the road. Extremely efficient and quick booking which was great as we were let down for another cottage.

Very pleasant cottage
We had a fantastic stay!! All amenities were as stated. Kitchen was homely, shower spacious and bedrooms very comfortable. The cottage grounds were very peaceful and easy to access.
We got locked out and someone came straight away. We would definitely share this stay with friends and family and will be back to stay again !

Sudeley Castle Cottages in May
Good location.
Cottage well equipped.
Nice to be able to visit Sudeley Castle.
Parking was a problem when we arrived on Friday afternoon as people had not parked well so marked bays might be a good idea and provide fairness, also perhaps limiting the number of vehicles per cottage.
A nice high backed armchair would be nice for those not able to get down to the low sofas!

Family trip
My daughter moved to winchcombe last year we wanted a family holiday near her with wheelchair access. This cottage was ideal for location, full of character it had everything we needed. It had a downstairs bathroom, which worked but not entirely as it was a bath not a shower so mum couldn’t access it fully. There’s plenty of disabled parking in town so the hill was not a problem. The staff were extremely friendly and sorted out our queries immediately. We loved our visit to Sudeley castle and gardens which is included in the stay. We would definitely stay here again very good value for money.

Queens Cottage - Poor Condition
This property is in a very poor condition and is in need of a well overdue refurbishment both inside and out, The outside patio has loose flags/wall and care should be taken when approaching the property. Other properties in the courtyard offer much better value and should be preferred when booking.

Sudeley
The cottage is in a great location for visiting Sudeley and the Cotswolds, a good layout, a good size and has the amenities needed. However, it needs a thorough clean and refresh. Scruffy in areas, upstairs shower mouldy, rusty and full of scale, the kitchen sink was not clean, the fridge had food debris in it, the cutlery draw full of crumbs. Behind the beds was a big built up of spiders webs, dust and hair. The sofa’s need cleaning. We were disappointed by the cleanliness and spent the first couple of hours cleaning but many of the issues we could not rectify, certainly not what you want to do on arriving on holiday.

Pleasant Stay
We much enjoyed our brief stay at Queens Cottage. Overall it was comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. The location was excellent, being a short stroll to all the shops and facilities that Winchcombe has to offer as well as the heritage railway nearby to visit Broadway and Cheltenham. It was a bonus to have complimentary access to Sudeley Castle and gardens, also a short walk away, which was very enjoyable with an extensive display of artefacts in the castle, lovely grounds and church with Katherine Parr's final resting place.
A few minor issues jarred regarding the cottage itself:-
- The sofa cushions were stained and worn and offered no support, collapsing when sat upon.
- The view from the rear kitchen window was unpleasant, resembling a mini waste/storage site, and had evidently been visited by a dog!
- When we returned to the cottage on Friday evening we were unable to park in the communal parking area as it was full so had no choice but to park outside the cottage.

A four night stay in a Cotswold bolthole.
Our first Cotswold Cottage holiday was for four night in "Queens Cottage at Sudeley Castle, close to Winchcombe.
The Cottage was a two bedroomed detached property within a group of stone built cottages dating back many years, but thoroughly modern and well fitted out. Comprising two bed rooms and a bathroom up stairs and a lounge dining room and kitchen, together with a second bathroom down stairs.
The interior decor was light and with numerous windows it had a light and airy character. Carpeted throughout, and with two large settees, a dining table and an excellent kitchen with all modern appliances it made for a most hospitable and comfortable residence.
WiFi and a large television were included but we never used either device during our stay.
The tow bedrooms, each with a wardrobe plus chest of drawers provided ample storage, the one bedroom had a large double bed, and the second bedroom had two single beds. All the beds were very comfortable and provided with full fresh bedlinen.
On entering the cottage the appearance was one of extreme tidiness and good condition to all fittings, and excellent provisioning of towels, face flannels and kitchen linen, plus wahing and shampooing products in both bathrooms.
The atmosphere was one of peaceful, quiet tranquility, it was hard to know that other families were staying in the "complex" were it not for the dozen or so cars in the ample private parking area.
Directions for arrival and entering the cottage were concise and simple, having been provided well before we departed from home, and a comprehensive gazetteer of Winchcombe and the Cotswold area was provided on the coffee table. THe cottages were situated about 200 yards from the main street through the town with numerous small shops and a goodly number of excellent eating establishments.
If ever we return to the Cotswolds for an holiday, we will know exactly where to stay by returning to the cottages at Sudeley Castle.

An excellent stay
I had a three night stay at the Queens cottage and already I am wanting to return. To reach the Queens cottage, if travelling by train from London, the nearest train station is Cheltenham Spa. You can either get a taxi (around 25 minutes) to the cottage, or to Cheltenham Race Course (around 10 minutes) and board a steam or diesel train to Winchcombe and walk around 25 minutes to the cottage. There is a taxi rank outside Cheltenham Spa train station so no need to book in advance, although to return to the station, I did book a taxi beforehand. Walking to the cottage you pass two supermarkets so you can stock up on provisions. There is already a pint of milk in the fridge at the cottage and a small number of tea bags and satchets of coffee. There is a downstairs bathroom and also one upstairs. The lower floor is open plan, and includes a nice kitchen, table, and settee and television. Upstairs you have one double bed, and a second bedroom with two single beds. The bathroom has an excellent shower and toiletries are provided. The cottage was clean, and in a great location for exploring. There are plenty of places to eat and everything is a short walk away. The area feels safe and is very pretty. I am very happy with booking the Queens cottage and had a great time.
