Charming Cotswold Stone Cottage, centrally located in Winchcombe yet only 200 metres from the gate house of the stunning Sudeley Castle and situated on the Cotswold Way. LAST MINUTE availability from 11th July for a week.

Nestled on picturesque Vineyard Street in the historic town of Winchcombe, this delightful two-bedroom Victorian wool cottage blends timeless character with all the modern comforts today's discerning traveller expects. With its honey-coloured stone, cosy interiors and enviable location, The Feathered Nest offers an idyllic base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Inside, the cottage beautifully balances its 19th‑century charm with the comforts of modern living. Stepping through the front door, you’re welcomed into a characterful sitting room with flagstone floors, a comfy sofa and armchair, and an impressive original hearth housing a log‑burning stove. An oak‑beamed ceiling enhances the warm, traditional feel, while a television and high‑speed Wi‑Fi ensure you stay connected and entertained.

Beyond the sitting room, the well‑equipped kitchen offers everything you need for a relaxed stay, including an oven, four‑ring induction hob, fridge‑freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, and a Nespresso coffee machine for that perfect morning brew.

Upstairs are two inviting bedrooms—one double and one twin—making the cottage ideal for couples, friends, or small families.
On the first floor the 'Feather and Black' King Size Bed welcomes guests with Egyptian Cotton White Company Bedlinen. A staircase leads off bedroom one to bedroom two on the second floor. This small bedroom has been cleverly laid out to fit two full size single beds, a small dresser and under bed storage is provided. Again The White Company Bedlinen and Towels are provided.

The bathroom is located on the ground floor, in keeping with the traditional layout of period cottages but includes a full size bath and separate enclosed shower cubicle as well as underfloor heating and a heated towel rail to warm your luxurious White Company Towels.

At the rear of the property is a pretty courtyard garden furnished with seating for four. New this year, we have a lovely outdoor sofa with solar string lighting to give a wonderful evening ambiance. The courtyard garden is a peaceful spot to enjoy a quiet morning coffee before setting off on your adventures, or an aperitif as you unwind after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.

Due to the age and character of the property, it is not suitable for guests requiring disability‑friendly access. There are also a number of steps within the property and please note bedroom two is accessed through bedroom one and there is no handrail between the first and second floor bedroom.

Positioned directly on the famous Cotswold Way, the cottage is a dream for walkers and nature lovers. Just a few hundred metres away stands the magnificent Sudeley Castle, final home and resting place of Queen Katherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII—an extraordinary piece of history right on your doorstep.

Winchcombe itself is full of charm, with independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs to discover. From this perfectly placed cottage, you can easily explore the region’s most iconic Cotswold villages, including Broadway, Stow‑on‑the‑Wold, and Bourton‑on‑the‑Water.

The town has been awarded The Walkers are Welcome status and hosts an annual walking festival each May. The Cotswold Way, Gloucestershire Way and Wychavon Way all pass through Winchcombe. Nearby, Belas Knap is a Neolithic barrow in a spectacular location above Humblebee Woods. There is also an unspoilt Roman Villa to discover at Spoonley Wood.
