Beautiful setting for lovely weekend stay

Beautiful, unique setting. Stayed in lovely 3 bed cottage. Perfect for small group or family . Great base for exploring the Cotswolds - access to the Castle and lovely village on the doorstep.

Great stay!

We had a great stay at the St Kenelm property. We made day trips to other villages in the Cotswolds. During summer the apartment tends to get a bit hot, luckily a fan is every room!

Great area

The cottage was in a fantastic setting with lots of great places to visit. The only thing would be that it just needed a little re painting on the inside

A lovely stay but a few minor maintenance issues

We would visit again as the location is excellent. In general, very well equipped. However, the bath drained poorly and was badly marked. Lovely towels. The toilet was spotless but bathroom not vacuumed under the small white cupboard and behind the pedestal basin for a long time. Lovely curtains but poorly fitted to the rail which was partially separated from the ceiling in the living room.

Lovely Apartment

This is a lovely apartment in a secluded cul-de-sac of cottages. It is well appointed, albeit relatively small, but still fine for our family (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The town of Winchcombe is only a short walk away, and there is a well maintained footpath leading to the Castle grounds and entrance. The free access to the castle is a real bonus.

Weekend Stay at Sudeley Castle Cottages

Lovely 2 day stay in Winchcombe. Cottage was situated very close to the centre. Accomodation great for 4 people. Well equipped and tastefully dressed. Just a couple of suggestions- windows in bedrooms need a better clean, sofa needs some attention. Other than these observations, would definitely book again.

A fantastic stay

We stayed here whilst working at Sudeley Castle for a couple of days and it was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, cozy and a brilliant price. All the amenities you could need, a lovely quiet location, plenty of parking. We loved it.

A short break in Winchcombe

We enjoyed a visit to the Cotswolds, staying at St Kenelm apartment in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Well located, comfortable accommodation, with the benefit of free entry to Sudeley Castle during our stay. Very handy to be on the outskirts of the village of Winchcombe and had a very tasty meal at Winchcombe Restaurant (Indian cuisine).

Excellent location!

We booked a 2 night stay and we were very impressed and satisfied with the accomodation throughout. It was a perfect location for walks. The fittings were of high quality as were the kitchen appliances. Overall, we were extremely happy and satisfied with our stay. Thank you!

Staying In St Kenelm

We had a lovely stay here; while there were a few cars in the carpark, we didn’t really see anyone else and it didn’t feel busy, which was nice. The location is fantastic for walking and there was plenty to do for the 3 days we stayed. The castle is fantastic and my two boys loved it so much, we visited twice! We also found everyone to be really friendly. The cottage had everything we needed and made for a comfortable stay.

4/10 Poor

No electrics on arrival and dead insects throughout the upstairs - avoid if possible!

When we arrived at around 16:30, the electrics had clearly tripped earlier in the day which meant the fridge and freezer were off. There was a pool of melted ice in the kitchen and neither were cold. All our food spoilt. In addition, there was a large amount of dead bugs dotted around on the carpets (wasps, bees, spiders) upstairs. Made all guests very uncomfortable. The windows need a good clean as do the blinds - dusty and dusty. Such a shame as my parents in law stayed in another cottage and it was lovely.

Well placed for a short break

St Kenelm is part of a quirky little set of cottages in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Really well located for a walk into Winchcombe or up to the castle, as well as other charming little towns and villages nearby. Definitely visit The Lion pub for a meal in the village - food was great and the service was really friendly. The accommodation itself was a little disappointing in parts, feeling musty and a bit unloved on arrival. This is a super old building so we expected character, but the layer of dust in the lounge was off-putting, as was the mildew on some of the windows. It all just feels as if it could do with a freshen up to bring it back to its best. Bedding and towels were lovely and clean and there was plenty of hot water!

Super Location

This was our first stay in Sudeley Castle cottages and found it to be an excellent facility for daily commuting to Cheltenham Racecourse and for evening dining options in Winchcombe. Property standards and condition excellent. We will be staying again next year but in an alternative property, on the estate, having found St Kenelm already taken. The ease of booking and notification details from Bolthole Retreats were first class.

Excellent personal service

Our flight to London from the US was delayed for twelve hours, so it was 2:00 am by the time we reached Winchcombe and our accommodations at the Sudeley Castle Cottages. I was able to communicate with the management, and we were blessed to locate, enter and settle into our cottage with no hassle. A great blessing for weary travellers in the middle of the night! Beautiful and convenient location!

St Kenelm Cottage

The cottages are in an outstanding area near the Castle (10 min walk) in Winchcombe with plenty of parking. There are a number of national trust properties and gardens to visit in the area and I would certainly recommend a good weeks’ stay. The village is also a delight with plenty of eating places, reasonably priced, and quaint little shops. There are also a number of local walks - all provided in the information pack in the cottage. The cottage was certainly as described - a home from home with everything you could wish for and a lovely welcome pack of coffee, tea, mints, milk and biscuits etc. I would certainly not hesitate to book again… 10/10 for a great break.

Lovely in Spring

We had a lovely stay in May, but I am not sure if it would be lovely all year round. The bedrooms, which are right under the roof, were very warm - in high summer they would be extremely hot. There were also an awful lot of stairs! But apart from that, the apartment was very clean and well furnished; the kitchen was also very well equipped. It's a short stroll into town with some very good eateries and shops and a beautiful walk across to Sudeley Castle. We would definitely consider staying here again, especially as there's plenty of parking, which my husband considers to be essential.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at St Kenelm. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay however we are disappointed to read your feedback regarding the roof and the stairs. On our website listing we state that the property is a first floor apartment and that there are a number of steps. This is also shown on our floorplan.

A weekend stay at Sudeley

It seemed like the perfect combination. A desire to re visit Sudeley Castle and to stay at Sudeley Castle Cottages, which is only a short walk through glorious countryside to the castle. Specifically thinking about St Kenelm which was spacious, comforting and very clean, it had everything we needed for our accommodation. The fixtures, fittings and furniture are of an extremely high standard and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering staying there. The castle itself was a ten minute walk and pubs in Winchcombe were a mere five minute stroll! (The White Hart was particularly good). An excellent weekend was had by all.

Good central location for exploring Cotswolds, cottage what would be termed as "tired" needs refresh

On entry to the building the cleanliness was very poor, on entry to the apartment we found multiple cobwebs on windows and Louvre sky lights, just lazy cleaning in our opinion. Clients asked to clear rubbish, strip beds, vacuum, and tidy towels in order to assist cleaners. We assume the allows more time for cleaning but this is not indicated inn St Kinelmn apartment. This is our 6th annual trip to the Cotswolds and the most disappointing accommodation

Short stay

We had an enjoyable short stay at St Kenelm. We found a lot of flies in the property - dead & alive, a quick vacuum & open windows did the trick. One of our group got stuck in the bathroom as door handle required 2 downward movements to open from the inside! She failed to open the door each time she used the bathroom! So maybe someone could look at the mechanism. The walk around Sudeley castle was fantastic & as it was free balanced out the cleaning expense added to the rental charge.
