Extremely comfortable stay with access to Sudely Castle.

Lovely cottage, well laid out with well equipped kitchen. Footpath to Sudely Castle was ideal - a visit to the castle was the purpose of our visit and it did not disappoint.

Great place for walkers

An ideal base for exploring this part of the Cotswolds. Winchcombe is a lovely real town, not just full of holiday lets. Several good places to eat within easy walk of the cottage.we were also delighted to find a mobile cheese van selling local cheese on Friday morning just up the road from the cottages. Great walks on the doorstep. Only comment is for tall visitors the bedroom is very compact with sloping ceiling, several bumps warned me to duck! Kitchen is very well equipped. We would happily return.

Excellent accommodation in a perfect location

Excellent accommodation in a perfect location, within easy walking distance of the fascinating and historic Sudeley Castle and the town of Winchcombe with great character, good pubs and a fine selection of eating. Walkers are welcome in Winchcombe and there are many excellent, scenic walks directly from the accommodation. The staff were easy to contact, courteous and very helpful. There was ample, safe parking.

Super Location for Winchcombe and Walking

Winchcombe itself is just a short walk away from the cottage, so it made a perfect base for our short break, especially with easy parking available. Many 'day out' destinations were close by, but Sudeley Castle (entry included in the cost), GWSR steam railway and Winchcombe's lovely walks were all accessible on foot. The cottage's kitchen was excellent and very well equipped and the bed comfortable, but the bathroom and shower, paint finishes and table tops were a little worn and in need of some TLC. Overall, an enjoyable stay in an excellent location.

A Cotswold Castle

I was a volunteer for a couple of days on an archaeological dig at Sudeley Castle so needed somewhere convenient to stay. The Prince Rupert was ideal! It was spacious, well-appointed, quiet and comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was only a short walk over the fields to Sudeley Castle and also extremely close to the amenities on offer in the delightful town of Winchcombe. The cottage was only a stone's throw from a network of footpaths including the Cotswold Way, so I enjoyed a wander up to the atmospheric Belas Knap Long Barrow on the Monday. A relaxing stay at Prince Rupert is highly recommended!

Quaint

Quaint little accommodation within easy walking distance from both the village and Sudeley Castle. We also found that when showing the key fob, we got free access around Sudeley Castle which saved quite a few pounds. Such an excellent place to visit - it took us 3 different days and we are sure there will still be more to see!!

Sudeley castle cottages

This was our 3rd visit to sudeley castle cottages and it didn't disappoint. The cottage was furnished with everything needed super clean and comfortable. On arrival there is tea, coffee, milk and biscuits just perfect after a long journey. The area with its beautiful green fields for great walks on the doorstep and only a 5 minute walk into the town with local shops and boutique's, cafes and restaurants and local pubs make for a excellent break away. Can not wait to book again for next year.

Perfect location to explore Cotswold

We loved the location, how clean the place was and equipment in the kitchen. Free access to Sudeley Castle was definitely a bonus. Very slow Internet connection was bit of a surprise. I suspect that it might be a simple configuration issue and easy to fix.

Good quiet location near to amenities

The accommodation was adequate for the short stay I was there. The kitchen is well equipped. Overall it was clean but there were cobwebs around the beams and windows. It did feel a bit shabby and ready for a lick of paint and a furniture upgrade. The bathroom has seen better days. The wi-Fi was terrible and I could barely get emails. There was no chance of working or streaming any films. The location is very good - quiet and peaceful but within walking distance to Winchcombe.

Lack of supervision on standard gave rise to a number of minor faults. Contact to resolve issues to Owners (castle) or letting agent was "not our responsibility).

Feedback

Great location,kitchen,dining area. Needs higher back settee and chair that are supportive. Sofa had lost any support. Shower hose and end needs replacing. Rail for stairs up to property needs to be continuous. Great to be close to good places to eat in Winchcombe and to many footpaths and to have access to Sudeley Castle. Would be interesting to have more history re building.

A beautiful cottage, stunning surroundings and a cosy atmosphere in the village

The cottage was absolutely lovely, cute but also very comfy. Further everything you needed was provided. We felt very lucky to stay in this cosy perfect cottage and would always come back to it.Being able to visit Sudeley Castle during our stay without paying was a nice surprise. The pubs in Winchcombe are very open to visitors so that we had several chatty evenings. We recommend the White Heart Inn for its food, its ales and of course for its top atmosphere.

A very nice stay

I stayed for 2 nights at the Prince Rupert cottage. The 3D tour on the website that I used before I made my booking was a true reflection of the cottage and helpful in my decision to book the cottage. I had no problems locating the cottage and accessing the property. The cottage is a short walk from Sudeley castle and restaurants. There is also a small supermarket nearby however a pint of milk and coffee/tea are provided upon arrival. It is in a peaceful quiet area. I was very happy with my stay and I am already looking at booking again for next year.

Great place to visit the Cotswolds

+ Lovely cottage and surroundings, Nicely done up with comfy furniture, books and paintings, Many kitchen facilities, Free entrance to Sudeley Castle (well worth seeing), Wide parking space, Winchcombe is a lovely place as well and has many to do and see nearby. (-) Would be nice to have different bins in the kitchen to sort the garbage, since there are different containers outside. And coming from Sudeley Hill it is likely to oversee the signpost of the site.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful location

The cottage is extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished and VERY fully equipped. Such a great place to stay in the centre of Winchcombe and with free access to the wonderful Sudeley Castle. Lovely pubs, cafes, delis etc. in short walking distance. We recommend 'The Corner Cupboard' and 'William's' in particular. It's worth checking in advance what's open on different days of the week, though, especially out of summer season. Sudeley castle is amazing. It's really worth timing your visit to hear the talk, as it gives you so much background with which to explore the castle. Take a picnic!
