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.

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?

For the perfect short break

We enjoyed our stay in this very well maintained cottage. Everything was comfortable. Easy parking, well equipped kitchen, nice big bedrooms with good sized bathrooms plus situated in the perfect location. Walks straight from the doorstep. Free admission to Sudely castle. Unfortunately no dogs allowed.

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.

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.

Enjoyable stay

My friends stayed in this property & we were able to get together very easily from nearby cottage. Good kitchen facilities - shame there wasn’t a dishwasher. Lovely bedrooms & en-suite was a plus. Enjoyed their stay & appreciated the free entrance to the castle & gardens.

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!

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.

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!

A wonderful wedding weekend

We stayed at the Lord High Admiral for three nights (arrive Thursday depart Sunday) as we were attending a wedding at Sudeley Castle. The cottage was great, close to Winchcome and its shops and bars (10 minutes walk to the Lion Inn, 5 minutes to the White Hart), and to the Castle itself, which was around 5 minutes drive up the road. It is possible to walk to and from the Castle, but we drove each time. The cottage was immaculate, the staff at Bolthole Retreats super friendly and efficient. All in all a wonderful weekend was complemented by a brilliant place to stay.

A couple of damp patches

Probably because of the age of the building there are a couple of damp patches which need attention.

A lovely place to stay

We really enjoyed staying at this property which was in an excellent location in Winchcombe and very quiet with convenient and safe parking. The house was spacious and comfortable, the only slight downside was that the two showers were only lukewarm. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable and the house was attractively decorated and very clean. We would definitely return.

Great location, very confortable

Lovely cottage, great location. Only small complaints because it was really expensive so we did expect it to be top notch! Be nice to have enough milk for 4 people when we arrived, and the sofas were stained. But kitchen super well equipped, lots towels, very comfortable.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 July 2022
Dear Juliet, thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that overall you had a good stay. We have passed your comments about milk and the sofa on to the estate management for them to action. Best wishes.
