Lord High Admiral is a 2-bedroom cottage on the spectacular estate of 1000-year-old Sudeley Castle, named after one of the official titles conveyed upon Sir Thomas Seymour by King Edward VI. With one double bedroom and a twin, the cottage is perfect for a couple or family wanting an escape to the Cotswolds.
The open plan living space which combines living room, dining room and kitchen is ideal for gathering together for breakfast before setting out for the day to explore and relaxing evenings playing a boardgame or enjoying a glass of wine. With all the comforts of home you can relax and unwind, planning your explorations or adventures for the next day. Thanks to its unique structure over an old arched entrance for coaches, upstairs is almost double the space as the ground floor. Consequently, the property has two spacious bedrooms and two large modern bathrooms, providing guests with their own space and privacy.
Outside, guests can enjoy afternoon tea or evening drinks at their own outdoor dining table. Guests staying at the cottage enjoy complimentary entrance to Sudeley Castle & Gardens (during the season), meaning you can make the most of your time exploring the beautiful grounds.

The kitchen has a country-cottage feel, with fresh-cream coloured cabinets and wooden work surfaces. The kitchen is complete with a Neff cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, washer/dryer, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine.
First Floor
Bedroom One: A bright, spacious bedroom with a double bed and plenty of storage, including a dressing table with mirror, wardrobe and chest of drawers.
En-Suite Bathroom: A generous-sized, modern en-suite with a bath with shower head, toilet, basin and complimentary toiletries.
Bedroom Two: An equally bright and spacious twin bedroom with two single beds, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
Family Bathroom: A large family bathroom with a very large walk-in rain shower, WC and basin.

An excellent place to stay to explore east and west Cotswolds. The cottage was delightful, well stocked, bright and convenient to Sudeley Castle and walking trails. Conveniently access to Cheltenham and the train station.

Lovely stay in the cottages. Great location for visiting the castle.
The cottages are only a few minutes walk to the castle and have ample parking. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We would have liked a baking tray in the kitchen and the shower tray in main bathroom is flat allowing water to flow onto bathroom floor. Beds are comfortable and all rooms are of a good size. Really enjoyed our stay

An English adventure
What a delightful and spacious cottage. Having access to Sudeley Castle is a big advantage. It is also very close to the town, shop and pubs. There are many beautiful walks close by. The cottage are done very tasteful inside and has everything you need for your stay. The rooms are big as well as the 2 bathrooms. Would choose this specific cottage anytime again and would recommend it for someone who enjoys a true authentic English country holiday.

Wonderful place to stay!
My wife and I stayed in this cottage after our wedding at Sudeley Castle. It was absolutely delightful, with a well supplied kitchen, clean bathrooms and a really comfortable bedroom. Superb location close to Winchcombe and the castle, and the group of cottages made it suitable to have our family stay close by. Amazing stay, would absolutely recommend and stay again.

Nice cottage in a great location
Stayed in Sudeley castle cottages a few times.
Nice cosy cottages in a great location.
The only negative comment would be that the outside patio and seating areas are not looked after and are full of weeds. A bit of a let down as the cottages are nice and clean inside.

Wonderful Stay in the Cotswolds
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lord High Admiral cottage at Sudeley Castle. The cottage was clean and comfortable and conveniently located close to town so we were able to walk to pick up groceries and go out to dinner at the quaint pubs. Also a short walk through a field with sheep to get to the Castle which was amazing! I wish we could have stayed longer in this beautiful and historic area of England!

Fabulous
We walked in to a warm and cosy, clean, beautifully presented cottage with everything provided that you might need for a short break. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch. Great location, quiet and just a short (slightly uphill) walk into Winchcombe.
The only issue was parking. Although there is a large car park, it was full in the evenings. Perhaps marked bays would encourage more considerate parking?

Winchcombe stay
We were 2 couples staying for 3 nights and the cottage was perfectly placed for walk into the centre and the shops. Close to Cheltenham and other Cotswold villages for visits. Sudely Castle close by but not open in November so will come back again when it is. Staff in the grounds were vey friendly. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels supplied.

Fine place to stay.
The Lord High Admiral is ok for 4 persons. It’s a nice building in a lovely little street.
It’s almost perfect. I missed a toilet on the ground floor. And in my opinion the tefal frying pan should be replaced: it’s damaged.
We had a nice time.

Excellent!
We had a brilliant stay in Lord High Admiral. We were four adults who fit comfortably in the two large bedrooms and well appointed bathrooms. The downstairs living area was more than adequate and the kitchen was well equipped with appropriate “starter pack”. The proximity to Winchcombe and the castle was fabulous. We loved it!

small areas require attention
Welcome pack was appreciated.
Main bedroom...En suite shower hose was dirty and plastic trim where shower screen meets the bath needs replacing. Low level dust on furniture.
Twin room...nice cushions, not so nice pillows. 2nd bathroom needs a shelf and prompt attention to loose skirting board, mould reaching from there into shower.
Downstairs windows very dirty.
A second rail on the stairs would be helpful for safety.
