Overview
This apartment cottage is named in memory of King George III, who came to visit Sudeley Castle & Gardens on several occasions in the late 18th Century. Converted from the old forge on the Sudeley Estate, George III is ideally situated for exploring this fascinating part of the Cotswolds. Walking routes run from the door and you are a short distance from the village of Winchcombe and the delights of Sudeley Castle. This apartment cottage has open walls of Cotswold stone, sloped ceilings and original beams and views across the shared lawned garden to the treeline beyond. You will see walkers pass along the Windrush Way which runs behind the cottages.
This spacious, dog-friendly cottage has a large open plan living area across the ground floor. There is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy your own hobbies but also to gather for a meal or around the TV together. Upstairs two double bedrooms nestle beneath the eaves with a family shower room.
The terrace offers a section with seating just for George III and the shared lawn is perfect for dogs and the children. Enjoy this fantastic location, venturing further afield to the towns and villages of the Cotswolds as well as Sudeley Castle and the pubs and restaurants of Winchcombe on your doorstep.
Ground Floor
Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:A bright, well-lit open plan area, furnished with country cottage fabrics, makes up the downstairs floor of George III. The sitting area has two comfortable sofas and an armchair so everybody has space to stretch out and enjoy a film or flick through a magazine. The fully-equipped kitchen overlooks the main courtyard and has a country-cottage feel, with fresh off-white coloured cabinets and wooden work surfaces. The kitchen has everything you will need for your stay including an oven/hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine. A dedicated dining area has a round table seating four.
First Floor
The staircase to the first floor splits in two with one side accessing bedroom one, and the second taking you to bedroom two and the family bathroom. You will pass an image of George III and it's worth pausing to admire the old construction methods on show in the beams.Bedroom One:
This is the largest bedroom and is furnished with an oak frame standard double bed, bedside tables and individual overbed lights with reading and room lighting. This bedroom has a handy dressing area with a chest of drawers and a hanging cupboard - also the perfect place to set up a little one’s travel cot.
Bedroom Two:
The Old Forge’s impressive, but low, original oak beams are the centrepiece in bedroom two. Furnished with an oak frame standard double bed, bedside tables and individual overbed lights with reading and room lighting and a full-length mirror.
Family Shower Room:
Adjacent to bedroom two is the family shower room, with a large walk-in shower (with a fixed over-head rain shower and detachable handheld shower head) toilet, sink and heated towel rail.
Outside
Guests of George III share a lovely wooden decking area that looks out over a communal garden lawn and a footpath that leads to Sudeley Castle. Each apartment has its own seating area with table and chairs for 4 guests.Facilities

Just outside Winchcombe, Hayles Fruit Farm (3.5 miles) offers a fabulous selection if pick your own depending on the season and has a farm shop and café on site which is popular with walkers in the area.

We recommend the Sudeley Castle circular walk for a relaxing stroll; a 2-mile loop setting off straight from the cottage’s front door, taking you into the grounds of historic Sudeley Castle - a must-visit for any guest. The 2.5 mile walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow sat atop Cleeve Hill, is also a great walk to try from the doorstep, providing you don’t mind the incline.

Amazing place to stay, amazing location. So so perfect.
Emily
Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay, as usual in this charming accommodation. Its our 4th time staying here. We did find this year, that the property needed a little attention. Flaking paint on exterior and there were cobwebs everywhere. One of the rooms had mould on the ceiling. Nothing that a little love won't fix, just noticed it wasn't so perfect this year. Did not spoil our stay, and we would be happy to return again next year.
Rebecca Wilson
A great place to stay

The location of the house was perfect as a base for seeing the best of the Cotswolds. We really enjoyed our visit to the castle and our trips out to all of the "big ticket" Cotswold attractions. The house was perfect for our stay and everything was just right. Definitely somewhere we would look to stay next time we visit the area.

George 111 at Sudeley Castle

The Cottage was a bit tired and in need of a deep clean and decorating, apart from the kitchen which was nice and well equipped. Good welcome starter packs.
Brian Eggar
Lovely cottage

This is our second stay at George III and it is always a pleasure. We attend an event at the castle so location is great, just a few minutes walk, and the same into the village. The cottage is very clean and well appointed for our long weekend. The welcome pack always great after long drive. Access and parking are very convenient. There is a lack of hanging space in bedrooms due to the eves, but this is really not an issue for long weekend.
Stella Privett
Wonderful time.

We really enjoyed our stay at George III cottage. It had all the conveniences one would require for a longer stay. The bedrooms could get warm, but opening the windows allowed enough air flow to sleep comfortably. Would definitely consider staying again in any future visit to the area.
Gary Hodgson
Excellent little bolt hole

Very quiet and peaceful location. We had the dog so having the Public Footpath alongside was excellent with the Castle fields.
Winchcombe ideal for various Cotswold villages. Cottage was well appointed and comfortable.

Patricia
Excellent overall; couple of basics missing

Really enjoyed it. Just a couple of things to improve, noticed mainly as we were there to accompany the party in another cottage. Archers I think. Surprised that no handrail on stairs in Archers. Only one shower mat so had to give them ours. The tumble dryer in our cottage just didn't work. on leaving we were told by member of cleaning team that we had to empty rubbish bins which seems a bit off (we had done the recyclilng). Other than that, all great. Thank you. Linda
Linda Woolley
Another pleasant stay

This was our third stay at Winchcombe and as before it was comfortable and relaxing in pleasant surroundings. The cottage is very well equipped plus a welcome tray and toiletries . Plenty of towels and tea towels provided. Conveniently sited for easy walk into Winchcombe which has a good choice of places to eat. We will definitely stay again.
Although still comfortable the cottage does look a bit tired with chipped paintwork and a shower cubicle that needs a bit of TLC.
A good spring clean would go a long way to rectify this.
Guest
Perfect location in short walking distance to pubs, restaurants and transport links, Everything was great.
Jason
Xmas stay

A very well equipped cottage. A little smaller than looks on the website though. In convenient position for town amenities & country walks on doorstep.
Anita Dalton
Mind your head

Good quality accommodation apart from ceiling height in bedrooms. Felt layout could have been improved to minimise impact of angled ceiling under the eaves.
Ken Smith
Winchcombe Escape

The Cottages are in a great location - just off the High Street, with plenty of small local shops, places to explore on foot and lots of lovely walks.
We arrived in the dark the Sign for Sudeley Castle cottages would benefit from being lit - once on site the cottage was easy to find. It was light spacious and well equipped and very dog friendly. The tap in the bathroom sink dripped constantly and there appeared puddles with no explanation a couple of times on the bathroom floor - need to watch your head when opening and drawing blinds in bedroom windows!
It was a lovely stay and would highly recommend to friends.
Jayne Smith
A wonderful stay!

George III is a truly lovely cottage in a fantastic location. Every consideration was given to make for a comfortable stay - and the welcome pack was most welcome! I wouldnt hesitate to return or recommend!
Julie Moorey
Lovely cottage

We were attending an event at Sudeley castle , the cottage is really convenient to walk to both the castle and the town. It was very clean with all we needed for it long weekend. And the inside and outside seating great for chilling out after a long day. Have booked again for the same event next year.
Stella Privett
Mind your head!

George III at Sudeley Castle is a cosy, well appointed cottage. There is plenty of room for four adults downstairs both for relaxing and eating. The patio area is spacious although the gate doesnt shut and our pooch did escape. Upstairs is a different matter. The supposedly double bedroom next to the bathroom is so small we couldnt even get our suitcase in. With no wardrobe or hanging space at all we had to use the second bedroom which although more spacious had beams so low it is impossible to stand up. Mind your head - it got me several times!
Guest
Excellent way to explore the Cotswolds

To stay in one of the Sudeley Castle cottages is an experience, ideal to just chill out or see more of the area.
Kathleen Taylor
Staying in the Beautiful Sudeley Estate

Beautiful setting amongst trees and location is a rural idyll .We stayed for the Giffords circus which was steps away on the estate and dined under the stars with them at Circus Sauce returning to sit outside on the terrace and under a canopy of stars
a sense of place indeed ??
A couple of notes - we were a mixed party and would have loved a manual coffee maker /cafetière for morning coffee and we all enjoy herbal teas/tisane so were surprised by the provision of just PG Tips !! However we brought our own but sadly could not make real coffee for our morning delight -so a more modern take on welcome pack might be a good tip for others too !!
Su Fahy
Ideal stay for wedding in Sudeley Castle

Stayed with wife, baby and in-laws. Clean throughout. Spacious downstairs. Well equipped kitchen. Low and angled ceilings in bedrooms only reason for 4/5 in comfort. Unfortunately, weather and busyness precluded us from enjoying the what looks to be newly decorated outside - but looks wonderful. Lovely touch by owners to leave some basic staples that were much appreciated on our arrival!
John Watts
Lovely and relaxing

George III cottage at Sudeley Country Cottages was perfect. Beautiful and quiet area. Lovely and clean accommodation, had everything we needed. We are so glad we chose to stay here. Parking on-site was perfect as well. Beautiful area to walk around and explore.
Ian Beecken
wonderful

Overall a fantastic break. Great location and place to stay. Will be returning. The local pubs and walks were just what was needed
Richard Westwood
Pretty Cotswold cottage in a superb location

I have stayed at Sudeley Castle Cottages approx 30 years ago and always wanted to return, loving the Cotswolds in general and history in particular.
Winchcombe is such a pretty little town, with lots of pubs, shops, and restaurants and with the castle literally on your doorstep, it really was an easy choice to make. 🙂
We stayed in George 111 a small but perfectly formed little cottage. There were just the two of us, but being work colleagues ,we preferred the option of a bedroom each, but without a hotel price tag, and a home from home environment. It was perfect, with everything that you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Lovely and clean and cosy with added extras like tea, coffee, biscuits, mints, toiletries, and dog blankets. My friend was very impressed that a tea pot and toast rack were included. 🙂
Beds were super comfortable and there were plenty of toiletries and quality white fluffy towels.
The table and chairs on the outside decking area was a nice touch and it was lovely and peaceful sitting there with a morning cuppa listening to the birds and watching the sheep strolling up to the fence. A public walkway was spitting distance from our front door that took you on to the Sudeley Castle estate within minutes, and the complimentary entry was a bonus.
Walking into the village took minutes but there is a steep hill in Castle Street which could be problematic for those with mobility issues - don't forget your torch.
No negatives at all, but i think a visitors' book would be a nice touch for visitors to give recommendations for pubs, restaurants and things to do.
Also, with the downstairs being lino, floorcovering a nice rug or carpeted in the living room area would make it cosier.
Would definitely revisit.
Dizzy Gibbs
great location

Great location, easy parking, well equipped kitchen, living area needed some more home comforts - rug, lamps (there was one but it didn't work). Extra charge of £40 for a dog seems excessive when the cottage was already over £200 per night
Catriona Hearth
Great stay in a historic location

It was lovely staying in a historic converted cottage with great facilities. A great bonus was free entry to Sudeley Castle. We had the added bonus of decking so we were able to eat outside when weather permitted.
Wendy Ivins
Location of the cottage and access to a number of other Cotswolds town is perfect.

Have been staying at this particular cottage for a number of years with no issues, unfortunately on this particular occasion the response of the Sudley Castle customer service was not acceptable.
Kathleen Taylor
Charming cottage with direct access to all the best that the Cotswolds has to offer.

Delightful, well-appointed, sparklingly clean cottage in a lovely quiet location just a few minutes walk from the shops and pubs. Leave your car in the dedicated car park and forget about it for a few days as there are plenty of fantastic walks, long and short, directly from the doorstep. I highly recommend a stay here.
Alex Wardle
George111 cottage

My sister and I spent a lovely few days in George111 cottage and enjoyed our visits to Sudeley castle
The cottage was very comfortable
June DeVille
Lovely cottage in quiet surroundings

This cottage is in a great location - a couple of minutes walk from Winchcombe High Street and yet in a quiet setting on the grounds of Sudeley Castle. It is tastefully furnished and well equipped. Beds are very comfortable, shower is great and tea, coffee, pint of milk and jams are provided. There is also the added bonus of free entry to the Castle (a saving of £19.50 per adult). The only, very slight, negative was the outside furniture which needs a proper clean. We didn't need to use the furniture, but it would be worth sprucing up for the summer.
Edward Grehan
Sudeley cottage

Lovely cottage, brilliant location, just mind your head in the bedrooms. Ample parking, Sudeley castle worth a visit
David Atkinson
Short Stay

Everything was exactly as described and shown. The cottage is full of Cotswold character but modern, warm, clean and with everything needed. Id buy more milk if youre relying on the starter pack though (cute tiny bottle enough for two cups provided).
Tickets for the castle are a generous bonus. It really is steeped in seminal British history. My Dad thought the names of the cottages were a gimmick until he realised that they are all genuinely related to the occupants or connections to the Castle. I loved waking to the sound of woodpeckers.
I am quite disabled but can walk with a struggle and did do the short walk up the quite steep hill into town, which did me good. Disabled parking in the market square, where the town is then on the flat, was good.
Indian restaurant in Winchcombe, just up the road from the cottage, was excellent.
We booked tickets to the Everyman theatre in Cheltenham which is about 30 mins away with on street disabled parking outside the theatre.
Great Cotswolds stay and really good value. Totally recommend it.
Louise Shaw
Beautiful location in the Cotswolds

The accommodation was charming - very comfortable and clean. Perfect location and Winchcombe is a lovely town with great pubs. The dog walk from the property was stunning!
Julie Tillman
Another lovely stay

As always, accommodation was clean, cosy and well equipped with lots of different little touches.
We did on this occasion have an issue with the TV and couldn't get any channels on, which has not happened before.
Our 3rd stay here and will be booking again for next year, lovely time had by all.
Rebecca Wilson
The cottage has everything you will need

This is a very well planned design with all the comforts of home a few points you need to adjust relates to external lighting which not too good with so many steps
Robert Thompson
Excellent place for a short break

We have stayed at this cottage many times, it is perfectly situated to explore the Cotswolds. Highly recommended.
Kathleen Taylor
Fabulous Find!

We booked a last minute getaway and found this fabulous find! Wanting to be in the heart of Cotswold life this little cottage was everything we wanted and more. Right in the heart and very central for visiting the Cotswold. The village was lovely, amazing walks,we took our dog and the estate is lovely to walk through with lots of friendly locals and dogs! Local pubs all very good, great food and very friendly. The accommodation was of a very high standard with everything you need and nice little touches.
If I had one small negative it would be the beds, small doubles and very warm bedrooms but in the cottages defence we are use to a superking!
Would definitely visit again and recommending to friends.
Mark Childs
Our stay at Sudeley

Really enjoyed our three nights at George III. Lovely location, although We were pleased we were not any nearer to the building work going on, which must have been quite noisy for some of the other cottages.
Our cottage was very well equipped for anything we needed, and being able to visit the Castle and gardens for free was a real bonus
Roy Walker
Great location

Location excellent within walking distance of the castle and its attractions. Great local pubs and restaurants on the door step. Short drive to all that the Cotswolds has to offer.
Very basic accommodation, although a kitchen that has all a family will need. Lots of steps before you reach the property from the footpath and more steps directly to the front door. Tricky for anyone with mobility issues or young children. The interior of the property has more steps to negotiate across the top of the staircase to reach the bathroom from one of the bedrooms.
The floor coverings look tiered throughout the property. Outdoor wood furniture is rickety and needs replacing.
Overall great location but basic accommodation.
Guest
lovely stay, great location and comfortable clean property

Perfect location for walking from the door many of the paths around Winchcombe. Accommodation was very well equipped, crisp white bed linen and fluffy white towels. We were blessed with very good weather, enjoying breakfast on the veranda . I would highly recommend the property and would return to use again. Plenty of good places to eat in the town and staying in the cottage gives you free entrance to Sudeley Castle too.
Guest
Walking and visiting

Very pleasant house in self cathering. Very pleasant stay, we had two seasons, spring and winter in 3 days.
Nicole Turre
A very pleasant stay

Having stayed here before in 2019 we knew that it would be a suitable place for us to meet up with a relative as a half way point for all of us. The cottages are a short stroll into Winchcombe so very convenient for eating out. The cottage was extremely well equipped and comfortable and our only slightly negative comment is that the decor is looking a bit tired with chipped paintwork in places. The outside decking too needs a bit of TLC.
We spent a very relaxing few days and would definitely consider visiting again.
Guest
Excellent Short Break for Family

Wonderful dog friendly accommodation in the heart of Winchcombe
Clean and with more than the average accommodation facilities, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine with tablets and pods provided to make them usable, High quality fixtures & fittings and good space to relax in. So much better than a hotel room for a family stay.
Dog friendly extends to the amazing countryside that is mostly common land around the castle and footpaths around the town that are literally on the doorstep.
Only marked down comfort as at 6'4 I had to mind my head upstairs as bedrooms have low beams to watch out for.
Not all of the cottages on the site are dog friendly so check as you book. It is an extra £20 per night for the dog so can add up if staying more than a few nights.
Fully recommend and will book again
Andy Beer
Great location Good enough accomadation.

The location was excellent there where two foot paths right outside and the village was a minutes walk away. The accomodation was good enough but there was a whiff of the conversion having been done down to a price, a few fitments where loose or poorly fitted, the shower doors didn't shut properly so water went on the floor. It was all just a bit too durable, the floor downstairs was hard and cold the sofas where a little hard and uncomfortable the lighting all or nothing, but it was okay. The check in and out times are 4 and 10 but they were good enough to let us in at 12 as no one was there previously.
Nigel Knight
Home from home

We stayed for just two nights but it was so much nicer than a hotel or bed and breakfast, it really did fell like home from home. Everything you need (apart from food) is provided and its a 5 minute walk into the centre of the town with plenty of places to eat.
Stephen Langston
Lovely place to stay

Great location. Great accommodation. Would come again and recommend for nice walks. Few places to eat locally and fab area to explore
Guest
Great location

Cottage was just as described online, and the floorplan layout was a great help. Pre-arrival information was spot on and also very helpful. Location was perfect for us- just a short walk from the high street and amenities, and ample parking. Enjoyed having the complimentary entrance to Sudely Castle which was fascinating and def worth a visit.
Barbara Moul
Perfect Short Break

Really enjoyed our two night stay. A perfect base for exploring all that the Cotswolds has to offer. Sudeley Castle is well worth a visit and such a bonus to have the entrance fee included in the cost of the stay!! We shall definitely return!!
Guest
Superb short break

Have stayed at this property many times, highly recommend. Free access to Sudley Castle and gardens is an added benefit.
Kathleen Taylor
cosy and comfy

Cosy property, home from home with everything you need to relax and have fun in a beautiful location.
Hicking Hicking-woodison
Pretty good, but...

First, the location is fantastic, just a short walk into the village and all its amenities, lots of walking trails, also a short walk through fields to the Castle (though beware - VERY muddy if recent rain). The condition of such an old building is pretty good, and it was warm and fairly sound-proof when the windows are closed. It could do with a bit of refreshing e.g. some mouldy seals around the shower and water damage around some sinks, and the sofas cushions could use more rigorous cleaning, but really it was very good for a dog-friendly accomodation, which is very nice to have.
The main problem we had was discovering upon checking in that the fridge-freezer wasn't working - it was warm, and the freezer bins were full of water. A maintenance man wasn't able to come around until after hours. He went the extra mile by offering his own electric cooler bin for immediate use for the food we had brought, and then found an old, small replacement to tide us over until the main one was fixed, which didn't happen over our stay. The work-around was very appreciated, but I'm surprised that I've heard nothing back from Bolthole about this - not even an apology, let alone any sort of good-will gesture like a tiny bit of a refund or anything for our inconvenience.
Finally, just a word of warning for anyone with sensitivities to fragrances: whatever they use to clean their linens etc is super strong. Bring all your own bedding, pillows, and towels, and some sort of water-proof mattress protector that you can throw away afterwards because you'll never get the scent from the bed out of it, no matter how many times you wash it.
Susan Davidson
Delightful short break

Clean and well kitted out. Warm with very comfortable bed.
Good base for walking.
Worst bit is having review rejected because it was tok short!!!!!!
Ken Jones
Our stay at George 111 23/12/20 - 28/12/2020

Overall a really nicely appointed cottage. Good quality fixtures and fittings, washer/drier, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, lovely rainforest shower, comfy beds.
Nice touch to have a bottle of Prossecco and chocolates as a welcome. Also to be provided with milk, coffee, loo rolls, coffee pods, and other essentials as a starter.
We stayed over the Christmas period and we even had a decorated and illuminated Christmas tree in the lounge when we arrived, fantastic!
A few niggles - to access the cottage you need to climb a series of steps, unfortunately these are poorly lit and are a hazard in the dark and wet. Take care with the toaster - the whole body gets very hot when in use which makes it difficult to remove your toast. Kitchen tap leaks at joint and requires attention. White paintwork needs touching up in a few places. Could be difficult to access the site in heavy rain as Castle street is prone to flood in heavy rain, which would prevent access by car, whilst we were there the road was closed for 24 hours.
We had a really good experience and would happily stay there again in the future.
Mark D'arcy
Superb short break

We have been to the George 111 cottage several times and have never been disappointed with its location, comfort and cleanliness. Open the front door and you are on the Sudeley Castle estate with access to a number of walk pathways. Already planning to book the cottage again for 2021.
Kathleen Taylor
A lovely break

We went to this cottage for a few days of escape from the present world.
It was everything we hoped for - the location is perfect and we had some lovely walks.
The cottage is homely and we felt very relaxed from the moment we got there.
The kitchen was spotless and provided everything we needed.
A wonderful place. We will return.
Janet Bow
Comfortable cottage in lovely location

We had a lovely week's stay at George III. The cottage was immaculately clean and thoughtfully kitted-out. The welcome pack of jams, biscuits and milk we appreciated on our arrival. The setting, a short walk from Winchcombe's high street, was close to everything, but still quiet and relaxing.
Kara Holgate
High quality accommodation

Our stay at Bolthole cottages exceeded expectations! We really appreciated all the details that made this accommodation so comfortable: great pressure/hot water in shower, excellent variety of kitchen utensils, large flatscreen telly, blackout blinds/curtains on all windows, quality appliances, welcome pack with fresh milk in the fridge, plentiful towels etc. We had an issue with the heating which was resolved quickly by the onsite caretaker. Simple checkin w/ key box & plenty of parking. Town of Winchcombe is a 3 minute walk with cute shops, pubs, eateries. Short walk to the lovely Sudeley Castle which you can access freely during your stay. Dont hesitate to book a stay here!
Isabelle Monasch
Ideal location.

Excellent cottage, and the family loved it. Good location too for activities including Animal Farm and horse riding.
John Barker
Beautiful Place

I stayed in the George III recently, the apartment was spotless and the host left us everything we needed IE plenty of towels all the stuff for showering dishwasher tablets washing up liquid, even hand wash was provided in the kitchen and bathroom there was fresh milk in the fridge tea bags coffee sugar and also coffee and chocolate pods for the nespresso machine. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment was lovely and warm. The shower was lovely in fact my 9 year old nephew showered twice a day as he liked it that much. All in all it was a lovely place to stay and close to the lovely town of Winchcombe. You can even visit Cheltenham which is only twenty minutes away on the bus. Sudeley castle is also a must which you get to enter for free being a guest at the George III apartments.
Luan Hammond
Short stay at Sudeley Castle cottages

We were delighted with the cottage, it was ultra clean, comfortable, extremely well equipped and all that we wished for.
There is just one criticism, some warning that the outer door was self locking. On arrival the door closed behind us whilst unloading the car and the response was not immediately forthcoming. Some prior notice or a neat label on the door would have prevented this.
Bernard Vernon
Spa weekend with daughter

Delightful weekend in lovely cottage- nice and warm, comfy furniture, well equipped- can really recommend
Almut Bever-warren
Value for Money

Everything is provided for a relaxing break. A couple of minor issues were fixed very quickly.
The George III is ideal for 2 adults but, in my opinion, would be a little snug for 4, with one shower room/toilet and one wardrobe only.
The beds were possibly the most comfortable we have ever used.
An ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds.
One criticism. The rear of the apartment is overlooked by other apartments yet the window in the shower room/toilet has clear glass. On several occasions we felt compelled to pull the blind. Frosting the window would be an easy solution.
Anthony Mcclarty
Fantastic stay

We had a wonderful stay in the George III cottage. It is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. It was clean and tidy with lovely comfortable beds and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, bowls etc. Free entry to the castle is also a great added extra.

A pleasant stay

The accommodation was as advertised with the cottage being well furnished and equipped. Comfortable bedding. Only a short walk into Winchcombe and to the castle and gardens.
Would make a second visit but would not choose George 111 cottage again as it's outside seating area overlooks the bins and discarded refrigerator . It is also opposite a well-used public footpath through the grounds with a very squeaky gate.
Would recommend the cottages just not George 111.

Wonderful

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Well equipped with everything you need and a few minutes from the castle and lovely town of winchcombe. Will definitely be back!

Excellent location to explore the Cotswolds

This is the second time in 8 months that we have stayed at the cottages which are comfortable and clean and highly recommend as an excellent place to stay if you want to explore the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.

Up-to-date cottage with bags of history

The maisonette is very comfortable with a nice east-facing deck for breakfast in the sun. The equipment and furnishings are very new - softer pillows would be better however!
Being so close to the town and Sudeley Castle makes it well placed for shops, pubs and a historic royal gem. The footpath network is ideal for walking with the dog. (Said dog was grateful for her blanket and water bowl, thank you!).

Birthday Getaway

We had the best stay at Sudeley Castle cottages. It is the perfect location, with great amenities, and Winchcombe is just idyllic and with fantastic shops. The tour of the Castle is an added bonus too. We will definitely be looking at returning, our dog Barney loved it also.

Great Bolthole for short stays

We had a lovely weekend at George III - great location and well-equipped cottage. Super to have two double bedrooms rather than the usual double plus twin, comfy sofas too.
Constructive criticism: wardrobe space very limited and could do with a few more hooks downstairs for coats etc. Also nowhere to leave muddy boots (and they were really muddy after our walk!). Thicker duvets for winter would mean that we didn't have to turn the heating up quite so much to be warm at night. It would be helpful to have a little cupboard space in the kitchen for food- we were fine for a weekend, but would struggle if staying for longer.
The maps for the walks are a good introduction, but could do with some text guidance, or encourage use of OS maps instead.
A list of available TV/radio channels would be helpful.

Great little cottage

Cottage was very clean and comfortable especially the beds, kitchen was modern and well equipped, but no dinners plates which we found rather strange. The bathroom was also modern with a great shower. However, this is an old cottage and you have beams and sloping ceilings in the bedrooms that could prove a problem if you are very tall and downstairs the single glazed door and windows does make it a bit draughty when very cold, but heating is very efficient and kept us warm.
Its in an excellent locations with wonderful walks from the cottage, Winchcombe is only a few minutes walk with 2 small supermarkets, butchers, bakers, greengrocers and chemist, also several good pubs and restaurants. All in a great place to visit and we will be back!

Loved our short break in George 111

Loved our short break, good location and free entrance to Castle a real treat.
Had a Nespresso coffee machine but no capsules this was not on information provided else wed have brought our own capsules so couldnt see point of having machine. Loo seat was broken but not a problem. Outside seating was good but umbrellas would have been much appreciated.

Cozy cottage, peaceful location

We enjoyed Winchcombe so much. The cottage is a small walk to the castle. Plenty of walking trails to enjoy the scenery. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
