Cotswold Way Walking Weekend

Characterful, quirky property with everything we needed. Central location in Winchcombe was perfect for our walking holiday, though single pane windows and overnight roadworks did make for a noisy first night, much better the second night.

Perfect cottage and combination of old and new

We REALLY enjoyed our visit to Winchcombe, and staying at the Dove Cottage was a highlight. It is exactly as advertised, with flexible accommodations, a central location, and responsive, friendly hosts. We would stay here again without hesitation. Upon your arrival, we highly recommend a pint of real ale in the back garden of the Lion Inn, just two minutes away. Dinner there, and at the local Indian place, was great too.

Very pleasant place to stay

Charming and comfortable cottage in a small town with fascinating history and also at the intersection of several hiking trails. We had the best sleep each night. The gallery art in the cottage added flair and interest. We would definitely recommend Dove Cottage.

Special home in a very special location

Dove Cottage, in the historic town of Winchcombe, has been lovingly restored to welcome its visitors. Within 2 blocks of Dove Cottage, visitors can find everything they need. Lots of opportunity for walks through the Cotswolds and opportunities to explore the fascinating history of the area. Bus service to places further afield is excellent, so day trips are easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Many thanks for your review. We always work hard to get five star reviews so would like to know what led you to give us a four rather than five star review. Was the place clean, were the beds comfortable and did you notice our top quality 400 thread count bed linen? Was anything missing that should have been provided? It is always useful to know. Thankyou Kate

An art and countryside lover's paradise

This is a really lovely property set in the heart of charming Winchcombe but at the same time very secluded. The property is very well equipped and light and cosy even in the depths of winter (we stayed mid December), there are lots of lovely pubs and eating places within walking distance and easy access to Sudeley Castle and great country walks. And if you are an art-lover you are in paradise - with so much original artwork on the walls - a real treat.

We really enjoyed our holiday at Daisy Cottage. It is very cozy and lovingly furnished, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. Everything is designed to make guests feel comfortable right away. You feel very welcome. One day before our arrival, we received an email from the host with lots of important information and tips, which helped us settle in immediately.Winchcombe is a charming little town with small shops and a larger supermarket. Although it is very beautiful here, the place is not overcrowded. You can start wonderful long walks or hikes directly from the cottage. We had a truly lovely time here.

Amazing Cottage

The Dove Cottage was absolutely perfect! We traveled from Texas to visit the town my great grandmother was born in. The home provided us a great space to fit 3 adults and 2 children. We had a beautiful sitting room to enjoy our family coming to visit from cheltenham. The cottage was filled with beautiful art and so much love. Loved the North Bakery close by.

Fabulous!

We stayed at Dove Cottage for 5 days but wished we could have stayed for longer. This accommodation was fantastic, lovely and clean, lovely art :) The location is perfect and the car park for a pound was literally a 5 minute walk at most so a bargain. It is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful village which we would recommend to anyone. Thank you!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay I'm sorry you were disappointed with your bed set up. We always email to let our guests know how the beds will be made up and ask for any amendments. Unfortunately you phoned us to tell us you required a different bed set up just a few hours before your stay and we already completed our housekeeping.

Perfect Cotswolds Cottage

What a wonderful cottage and location. Right on the High street, a quick walk from anything you need, in a charming historic village. We appreciated the hosts' proactive host communication to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was beautifully appointed and comfortable. Wouldn't change a thing. If we are lucky enough to make it back to the Cotswolds, we'll rebook at the same place.

About the host

Hosted by Katharine Bailey

Host profile image
Kate (the artist Katharine Dove) I live in Cheltenham andI spend my time painting, walking my dogs, travelling and playing tennis. My artwork is sold across the world through De Montfort Fine Art the Clarendon galleries. My paintings often feature the Cotswolds and Cornwalls, two places where I'm very much at home.

Why they chose this property

I was keen not just to have a holiday home but also to contribute to the local art community.

Dove cottage provided both a beautiful cottage and also a sitting room that doubles up as an art gallery from time to time. When not let as a holiday cottage it is a gallery for local artists to display their work. We are also hoping it will attract residencies, artists coming from all over the country to paint and display their work in the gallery while staying in the cottage. Different artists will be in the gallery each week working and displaying their art.

What makes this property unique

The opportunity to stay in a cottage that is not only beautiful but also showcases a unique variety of original art. The whole cottage will from time to time be used as a gallery and so the art on display will be changed regularly. The sitting room has a large inglenook fireplace with log burner.

For artists the unique benefit is the opportunity to stay in a property from which they can paint and also display and sell their work.

For other guests the cottage is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The rooms are spacious and everything is on your doorstep - butcher, baker (all the old fashioned high street shops) and many bars and restaurants.

Winchcombe is vibrant small town and the gallery fronts onto the Cotswold Way. All we have to do is open the front door to the gallery and we have lots of interested visitors..
