About this property

A sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The Sudeley Castle Estate includes a collection of charming Cotswold holiday properties, all a few minutes' walk from the centre of historic Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle & Gardens. These include beautifully renovated ancient buildings, such as a paper mill, an old forge and 18th-century workers' cottages, to new cottages built in distinctive Cotswold stone. Sudeley Castle itself features 10 magnificent gardens, each with its own unique design. Surrounded by striking views of the Cotswold countryside, each garden reflects the fascinating 1000-year history of the Castle and includes a Knot Garden, Queen's Garden and Tudor Physic Garden.

Anne Boleyn forms part of a small terrace between Queen Mary and Lord High Admiral and features a well-equipped open plan kitchen/dining area, a spacious living room and an outdoor seating area with countryside views.

Ground Floor
Entrance Hall/Dining Area/Kitchen:
Guests enter Anne Boleyn Cottage through the covered front door into the open plan kitchen/dining area which is light and airy. The pale tiles on the floor and snowy white cupboards, window to the rear and half glazed back door add to the feeling of space. There's a pedestal dining table to seat four and beside the dining area is a handy understairs cupboard housing baby, cleaning, and ironing equipment. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed for a self-catering stay including a Nespresso coffee machine for those who love their coffee fix. From the kitchen there is a back door that leads to a small seating area, looking out towards the River Isbourne.

Living Room:
A feature timber-framed doorway leads from the kitchen/dining area into the living room. There are two shallow steps in this spacious room, which features a large two-seater sofa, two comfy arch chairs, a coffee table, occasional tables and a flat-screen TV with DVD player, and French doors out to the seating area.

First Floor
Bedroom One:
The main bedroom is entered via a large dressing area with a wardrobe and dressing table. Exposed timbers create a division into the bedroom which is down two shallow steps. The double bed has bedside tables on either side and touch-dim bedside lamps, and a pretty window with countryside views.

Bedroom Two:
There are two shallow steps down into the cosy twin bedroom which has two single beds with a shared bedside table between and touch-dim reading lamps and a double wardrobe.

Bathroom / Shower Room:
The bathroom features Shaker-style panelling and has a large walk-in shower, a large sink with a mirror, a dual flush toilet and a heated towel rail. Complimentary toiletries are provided including hand soap, shower gel, handwash, vanity kit, shower cap and toilet paper.

Outside
Guests have access to an outdoor seating area to the rear of the cottage with a table for four. As with all the Sudeley Castle Cottages, it is a short walk to the shared parking area and to the Castle and Gardens.

Beautiful location and a very comfortable cottage.

Anne Boleyn cottage is spacious with a wonderful open plan kitchen, dining area and a comfortable sitting room. The kitchen is well equipped and a small outdoor area made it perfect for our stay in Winchcombe. The decor is tasteful and all finished to a high standard. We loved our stay and enjoyed exploring Winchcombe and the surrounding countryside. Free entry to Sudeley Castle was a great bonus!

Super pre-Christmas break.

Super cottage, equipped with everything one needs for a perfect break. A Christmas tree already lit up in the corner of the sitting room, on arrival, was a lovely touch.

Peaceful setting

Lovely spacious cottage, very clean and tidy, ample towels, and toiletries, only downside is that the settee could do with a deep clean. Very quiet, excellent location with private parking. Few minutes walk to Winchcombe high street, and easy access across the field to Sudeley Castle

Excellent 5* you won’t be disappointed.

The cottage was excellent. All the extra little touches, welcome pack, milk, tea and coffee pods were all very welcoming after a journey even down to the mints and torches! Position was good to see the cotswolds and being able to walk to the castle was a bonus. We would definitely recommend this property and I’m sure we will return.

Fabulous!

This was a fabulous cottage within a group of cottages in a courtyard setting. The cottage was spaceous, very clean and has everything that you could possibly need - and is just a few minutes walk into the centre of beautiful Winchcombe. The cottage and the whole are is really dog friendly and we can't wait to return - just brilliant!

Delightful short break with the dog

We had a delightful stay at Anne Boleyn’s cottage. We are a family of four with a dog and we found the cottage very comfortable. The location was great as we were only a short walk from Winchcombe High Street and we looked over the sheep field with lambs. Everything we needed was provided in the cottage including torches for late evening dog walks! Sudeley Castle entrance was included with the stay and we found that really interesting.

Perfect place to stay in the Cotswolds

My 87 year old mother, niece and I stayed in the Anne Boleyn cottage within the Sudeley Castle Cottages. It was absolutely perfect and a great base to see so many village around. It was perfect with the full kitchen facilities to be able to cook meals when we wanted to. The shops are only a 5 min walk away with pubs, cafe’s and food shops for supplies. We even joined the local community for a church service at St Peter’s and were warmly welcomed. The cottage had everything we needed and would highly recommend staying here.

Digventure

We booked a two night stay whilst we were taking part in the archeology dig at Sudely castle and it couldn't have been more perfectly suited. Easy distance from the castle and town centre and fully equipped with everything we might have needed. The shower was just what was needed along with the large and fluffy towels after a day's digging and the cottage warm and cosy to hunker down as the darker nights came in over the weekend.

A Very comfortable cottage

There was everything that you could possible need for a short or long vacation in the cottage. It was ideally situated, very close to Winchcombe’s high street, so that in the evening you had a choice of pubs to walk to for dinner. It was very dog friendly, with superb walks within minutes of the door. We experienced biblical rain, but felt very happy and cosy to stay indoors. We extended our stay, and have also booked a return visit during the NewYear holiday. The communication with Bolthole was excellant.

Anne Boleyn Cottage, Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe

What a wonderful place to stay! The cottage was just what we needed in order to see Winchcombe and it's nearby villages. We're particularly impressed by Winchcombe as it was a place we held so dear in our hearts, having visited it not so long ago. Family have lived there and we wanted to return to see it all again. We love how the cottage allows you to enter the Castle grounds and you can wander off into the fields nearby, such as walks along the Isbourne River. Lots of memories and lots of fun, we will return next year. Thank you to the housekeepers who keep these cottages in pristine condition.

A comfortable and well cottage

Lovely cottage and setting. Bedrooms and beds comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Seating in sitting room could be firmer and high but just our preference. Agent very helpful we had to adjust the names of people who were accompanying us a week before, this was done with no fuss. Thank you. There is adequate parking at the rear of the property for 2 cars. The cottage is very close to the village with plenty of places for a meal out, and food shops for catering ar the cottage.

Indoors lovely - outdoors disappointing

The cottage was in a lovely setting near the castle and handy for visiting other attractions and villages in the Cotswolds. The cottage itself was lovely and had what we needed for our stay. The facilities were also sufficient for our needs. It was such a shame that the outdoor space was overgrown with weeds and was not a pleasant space to sit out, which given the excellent weather we had was a real pity. We did point this out on the first morning but they weren't sure if anything could be done for that week. Also the outside table really needs some work or replacing as it was also a bit scruffy. Overall we had a good stay and if the outdoor space is cleared and smartened up would have been excellent.

High quality accommodation in excellent location

Our third visit with Bolthole Retreats. Despite, on this occasion, being woken each morning by nearby construction work, we enjoyed staying at the Anne Boleyn cottage which had everything we needed. We also found Winchcombe to be a great place to stay with a good selection of eateries and shops. We’re already planning another return visit

Charming little cottage in a courtyard setting

This is a charming, clean, comfortable and well appointed little cottage set in the Sudeley Castle Country Cottages courtyard. The location is quiet and it is very near to Winchcombe- pubs, restaurants and provisions just a walk to the high street. You don’t feel like you are in a town though as the cottage is in a small valley on the edge of the Sudeley estate. To have free entrance to the castle was brilliant and we spent two memorable days there. It is a place the is very tranquil and the views are beautiful- one of the best places we have ever visited. It is also a good base for exploring a little further afield- Winchcombe and it’s meteorite and St. Peter’s Church, Hailes Abbey, Stanway Fountain, Snowshill Manor, Seizencote, Kiftsgate Court Gardens and Hidcote gardens. I can highly recommend Bolthole Retreats as a company.

Anne Boleyn cottage

The cottage is in a picturesque location next to Sudeley castle with country walks nearby The cottage is well equipped and warm and comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and provided a welcome pack as well as toiletries. The location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds and also convenient for a short walk up hill into Winchcombe with plenty of places to eat and shop

Lovely setting and cottage perfect

Cottage and amenities were excellent. very clean and lots of lovely extra touches with coffee pods and tea/coffee starter pack etc in the kitchen. Felt the booking experience could have been a lot better as when we called to get info the person we spoke to really couldn't give us the pricing until we called back with which cottage we had decided on. Then she said approx price and when we then booked it was another price £60 more and then when we got the invoice we saw another £70 added for the cleaning! We were going to a wedding in the castle so we had little choice by then and were very satisfied with the actual cottage and setting. Just unhappy about the misleading pricing.

Lovely stay in The Cotswolds

The cottage was in a perfect location. Despite being under 5 minutes from the town centre, (the Studeley Castle Cottages were back from the road in a small complex) it was very quiet. We were a 5 - 10 minute walk from the castle which was ideal.

Good but could be better

Potentially a really lovely cottage but let down by defects such as uncomfortable sagging seating in the lounge, some lack of maintenance (note of these left at property), and missing instructions for equipment. Location is excellent. When we arrived some lights had been left on as a welcome gesture. This is a pleasant idea but such actions do not fit in with the current concern over climate change.

Lovely accommodation, set in a great location

As a family of 4, plus 2 dogs, the accommodation was everything we could wish for. Set in a lovely village, which is well worth exploring, the cottage was really well equipped with all modern facilities and premium appliances Parking was just at the back, behind the small patio area. The beds very very comfortable with all bedding and towels provided The shower was great, plenty of storage in the bedrooms and full central heating for when it got chilly My only niggle was the vacuum which was useless and no mop for the floors Are already looking to visit again in October.
