Our stay was great! The cottage is a bit difficult to find. GPS can’t find it without a house number. We hired a driver to and from the airport and neither driver found it right away. If there were some way to identify it, it would be helpful. Unfortunately I have no suggestions as to what that would be. Maybe we should have told the return driver it was just past cowl lane (and the florists van!). The van was always parked in the same spot. But the drivers found it pretty quickly. We were pleased with our lodging.

Perfect stay in Winchcombe

Blacksmith Cottage was perfectly situated — central location in Winchcombe but quiet and peaceful. Housed four of us just fine. Comfortable beds, adequate kitchen, and a hostess who could not have been more attentive and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Friends weekend away

Blacksmiths Cottage is a delightful cottage in a convenient location with just a very short walk to local supermarkets, pubs serving food and shops. Its a two minute walk to the bus stop which takes you to Cheltenham and a 20 minute walk to Sudeley Castle which we would highly recommend. The host was very prompt in answering any questions we had and very kindly left milk and a chocolate cake too (a nice touch). Would mention that the post code took our respective Sat Navs into Cowl Lane, we had to ask a local in the end where Blacksmiths cottage was, the house name albeit at the entrance to the property, would also benefit from being placed on the Back Lane side too. The spacious bedroom with twin beds are we would say quite low (more childrens level) but nonetheless adequate. Overall a lovely cottage in a great location.

Location of cottage was fantastic. Lovely cottage with comfy beds. Parking space a definite bonus. Would not suit anyone with any mobility issues as steps leading up to patio had no bannister. Having said that, this wouldn't put us off coming back

Beautiful cottage in a lovely town

We had a super time here, Sarah was very welcoming and the house was beautifully set for us. We had everything we needed and had a very comfortable stay. The location was great with parks, trains, pubs and shops all within walking distance. We hardly used the car as there was so much to do and see. We had a lovely week, thank you so much for having us!
