    “Winchcombe with 4 pubs, 2 restaurants, coffee shops etc and Sudeley Castle on the doorstep is a great location.”

    Property has done a great job of squeezing a quart into a pint pot and was clean and well provided for. Not suited for the very young or old or infirm due to the many steps from the car to back door and very steep interior steps. Lovely big bed in master bedroom (secondary glazing would be good as so near the road noise at the front of property). Only other negative for us was the fairly basic downstairs sofa and seating. We had a great week, appreciated the get you in pack and the town and ease ...

The property

In the picture-perfect, bustling town of Winchcombe, you can find this beautiful mid-terrace cottage complete with exposed wood beams and interior stone walls.

Situated in the heart of the pretty Cotswolds town of Winchcombe, between Cheltenham and Broadway.

Fern Cottage is the ideal choice for a romantic getaway, or a small family break with its two bedrooms and enclosed garden, it is sure to cater for many different party types.

The stable door opens up into the sitting room, where you will be struck by how charming and well-furnished the room is, turning a compact space into a place you can't wait to cuddle up in with your loved one, in front of the woodburning-stove-effect gas fire on a winters’ eve.

Passing over the large slate flagstone flooring and moving into the kitchen will bring you to a delightful range of appliances that you will be more than happy to rustle up a tasty home-cooked meal for the rest of the group, and they can keep your company sat at the dining table (that can seat 6 people) thanks to the open-plan layout, with a bottle of wine (or two!).

Moving up the old steep cottage stairs when tiredness takes over, be welcomed into a beautifully presented super king-size room, complete with quality White Company bed linens and pristine white décor, you will wake up refreshed, and thanks to zip/link abilities it can be made into a twin room to suit your party's needs.

The second bedroom is a delightful double bedroom with stunning views of the countryside.

This room is furnished in the same delightful style, and next door you can find the well-presented bathroom, which has both bath and shower over.

The kitchen/diner has perfect French-style patio doors leading out to the outdoor dining and seating, where you can spend many a summer evening soaking up the last of the sun, as the kids run around with the dog down the garden path - a perfect way to spend your time!

The town of Winchcombe is a Cotswold town at its finest, and you're right on the doorstep with the nearest pub and shop being within a few minutes’ walk of Fern Cottage, so when you don't feel like cooking or you need some last minute essentials you're certainly not far away from whatever you need.

A brilliant day out at any time of year is the 1000-year-old Sudeley Castle and Gardens, once home to the last (and surviving) wife of Henry VIII, with a playground for children and a duck pond and parkland, it will be a lovely trip to remember.

Fern Cottage will be the perfect property to bring your loved ones to, allowing you to immerse yourself in this lovely part of the Cotswolds.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

WINCHCOMBE

Cheltenham 8 miles; Broadway 9 miles; Gloucester 17 miles.

The bustling Fairtrade town of Winchcombe, a conservation site, lies above the River Isbourne, midway between Cheltenham and Broadway. Visitors can sample a mouthwatering array of local produce in the town's restaurants, wine bars, tea shops and deli's, or stroll around the eclectic range of local shops, all located along the three main streets, which remain full of character with their honey coloured stone and timbered exterior. The town also plays host to music and arts festivals, country shows and farmers’ markets. Guided walks around the town are on offer throughout the summer months, while Winchcombe lies on the intersection of the Cotswold Way, Gloucestershire Way, Warden's Way and Windrush Way, providing ample walking to suit all abilities. The quintessential English village of Broadway is just a short drive away and offers individual shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and hotels, including the world-renowned Lygon Arms, popular for centuries and now offering spa facilities. The regency spa town of Cheltenham boasts beautiful Georgian architecture and a delightful range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, including the famous racecourse. Many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages lie to the east, whilst to the west is the waterfront city of Gloucester and the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean. The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath, Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick, with its magnificent castle, are all within an hour’s drive.
