About this property

Kingfisher Cottage - sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms

Nestled in the wonderful market town of Winchcombe, this relaxing retreat in the heart of the Cotswolds is the perfect base for a family or group getaway to this beautiful part of the world. Experience sweeping countryside views and a tranquil garden with gentle babbling stream winding alongside it. Discover local highlights like Sudeley Castle, Broadway and Cheltenham Racecourse or explore the wider Cotswolds.

Situated in a peaceful location in one of the Cotswold’s most beautiful towns, this spacious 5-bedroom stone house couldn’t be in a better location for a holiday to the Cotswolds. A standout feature of this property is its exceptional spaces for socialising, making it an ideal choice for family or friends gathering together. The spacious country kitchen is perfect for preparing indulgent breakfasts while an impressive conservatory doubling as a dining room and games room is a great place to enjoy sociable dinners and entertaining evenings.

Upstairs, five spacious, elegantly furnished bedrooms are serene heavens for a restful night’s sleep, with a mixture of doubles and twins offering flexible sleeping arrangements.

The crowning glory of Kingfisher Cottage is its spectacular garden. Summer days can be spent reading a book while taking in the incredible views across picturesque fields while evenings are for long al fresco dinners or barbecues. With the enchanting River Isbourne meandering past the garden, you can relax to the sound of babbling water passing you by. From the end of the garden, you can join a footpath for beautiful country walks or into scenic Winchcombe high street for a stop at one of its lovely pubs or cafes.

Lovely well equipped cottage ideal for a family get together. (5 Adults and 4 teenagers) The snooker table was a great hit and was well used by everyone. Diane popped round on arrival and had plenty of ideas for days out and details of the local area. Had a great weekend.

A fabulous place to stay

Kingfisher Cottage was absolutely perfect for our multigenerational family gathering to celebrate my 80th birthday. Di and Dave, living next door, were so friendly, kind and helpful. They left some lovely treats for us to enjoy during our weekend stay. The house was well equipped and the garden was fabulous, obviously really well loved. Being so close to the town it really wasn’t necessary for us to use our cars all weekend. Thanks to our hosts for a fantastic holiday venue.

Return to the Cotswolds

Kingfisher Cottage was perfect for our visit. We were a 3-generation family, including a 4 year old. The downstairs accommodation and garden worked really well for us. The bedrooms were fine especially as each were ensuite, although a little small, each of us had our own space. The location is an absolute key draw, sitting on multiple well marked hiking paths and Winchcombe has everything you need including independent shopping, pubs and restaurants. Plus, a perfect location to tour the Cotswolds.

Lovely place to have a family get together

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. The property is beautifully presented and well equipped. The owners popped over to welcome us which was lovely. The treats left were very welcome too. The large room at the back has stunning views of the garden and the countryside beyond and was definitely a massive highlight. We would definitely like to return for another stay.

A family weekend in kingfisher cottage

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating my 65 birthday at kingfisher cottage. It was a perfect place for extended family with my toddler Granddaughter. It was lovely and warm , very large with a very well equipped kitchen. Lots of room for everyone to relax with several sofas to lounge on. Beds were comfortable with excellent en suites . We were just 5 minutes walk to centre of town with pubs and restaurants

Excellent property in a great location.

An excellent property with four ensuite well presented bedrooms, an additional downstairs bedroom and ground floor bathroom / wet room. We were lucky with the weather and made good use of the garden, the kitchen is very well equipped and we had some great meals at the large table in the conservatory. There's a great walk immediately out the back along the river and the village up the road has a couple of pubs with great beer gardens at a gentle sub 10 minute walk. So all in all highly recommended. A bonus for us was the full sized pool table which got a lot of use!!

A Comfortable Stay for 10 people.

We had a very comfortable stay for 10 people. The house was immaculate on arrival and Christmas decorations made a very festive look. There was enough space for all of us to be comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was fun having the Pool table for us to use. We would certainly book it again.

Can't fault this cottage. Spacious, calm setting, gorgeous walks on your doorstep, shops for essentials a few mins away, owners very responsive (they live next door, are very unobtrusive but also came round immediately when we needed help with the TV!). Beds very comfortable, hot water on demand, plugs and lamps everywhere they're needed (not always the case in holiday lets), very sharp knives for cooking (i usually bring my own), toiletries, welcome biscuits and prosecco, tea/coffee, the list goes on! They've thought of everything. Highly recommend.

This cottage was perfect for a group of 8 friends to meet. The communal space was spacious and airy. The cottage was immaculate and well equipped in a great location with easy access to town and countryside. Lovely touches on arrival with biscuits and a bottle of fizz. Di was really helpful and flexible about a later checkout too. Would definitely recommend.
