Over its vivid and expansive history, Sudeley Castle has played host to many of England’s reigning queens, from Anne Boleyn to Queen Elizabeth. Named in commemoration of all its regal visitors of the past, Queens Cottage is an elegantly converted old engine house that offers guests a stay in a historic setting.
The front outdoor dining area overlooks the estate courtyard and is a lovely spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out for the day, perhaps to Sudeley Castle. The ground floor is spacious and open plan with a comfortable sitting area, dining area and a kitchen to the rear. There is also a family bathroom. In the sitting area one of the sofas can be converted into a double bed. Historic images remind you of this cottages' past and in the living area a discerning picture of Queen Victoria overlooks your adventure planning. At the end of the day this is a lovely place to put your feet up and enjoy a movie night. Upstairs both bedrooms offer plenty of storage and share use of the family shower room.
From your front door you are a short walk from Winchcombe and the country pubs, restaurants and wonderful walks that are on offer. Cheltenham, Cleeve Hill and Bourton and Broadway further afield are all easily reached and well worth a visit during your time here.
