About this property

Charming Cottage at Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe, Cotswolds, Sleeps 4

  • Find yourself in the heart of Sudeley Castle’s heritage in this carefully restored coaching entrance nestled on a beautiful castle estate in the Cotswolds. Within walking distance of the picturesque village of Winchcombe, enjoy a host of local pubs, restaurants and little shops as well as being near Cotswold highlights including Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold, Cheltenham and Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park.

    During your stay, you are entitled to free admission to Sudeley Castle and Gardens during the Castle’s open season (except for separately ticketed events).

    -

    Lord High Admiral is a 2-bedroom cottage on the spectacular estate of 1000-year-old Sudeley Castle, named after one of the official titles conveyed upon Sir Thomas Seymour by King Edward VI. With one double bedroom and a twin, the cottage is perfect for a couple or family wanting an escape to the Cotswolds.

    The open plan living space which combines living room, dining room and kitchen is ideal for gathering together for breakfast before setting out for the day to explore and relaxing evenings playing a boardgame or enjoying a glass of wine. With all the comforts of home you can relax and unwind, planning your explorations or adventures for the next day. Thanks to its unique structure over an old arched entrance for coaches, upstairs is almost double the space as the ground floor. Consequently, the property has two spacious bedrooms and two large modern bathrooms, providing guests with their own space and privacy.

    Outside, guests can enjoy afternoon tea or evening drinks at their own outdoor dining table. Guests staying at the cottage enjoy complimentary entrance to Sudeley Castle & Gardens (during the season), meaning you can make the most of your time exploring the beautiful grounds.

An English adventure

What a delightful and spacious cottage. Having access to Sudeley Castle is a big advantage. It is also very close to the town, shop and pubs. There are many beautiful walks close by. The cottage are done very tasteful inside and has everything you need for your stay. The rooms are big as well as the 2 bathrooms. Would choose this specific cottage anytime again and would recommend it for someone who enjoys a true authentic English country holiday.

Wonderful place to stay!

My wife and I stayed in this cottage after our wedding at Sudeley Castle. It was absolutely delightful, with a well supplied kitchen, clean bathrooms and a really comfortable bedroom. Superb location close to Winchcombe and the castle, and the group of cottages made it suitable to have our family stay close by. Amazing stay, would absolutely recommend and stay again.

Nice cottage in a great location

Stayed in Sudeley castle cottages a few times. Nice cosy cottages in a great location. The only negative comment would be that the outside patio and seating areas are not looked after and are full of weeds. A bit of a let down as the cottages are nice and clean inside.

Wonderful Stay in the Cotswolds

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lord High Admiral cottage at Sudeley Castle. The cottage was clean and comfortable and conveniently located close to town so we were able to walk to pick up groceries and go out to dinner at the quaint pubs. Also a short walk through a field with sheep to get to the Castle which was amazing! I wish we could have stayed longer in this beautiful and historic area of England!

Winchcombe stay

We were 2 couples staying for 3 nights and the cottage was perfectly placed for walk into the centre and the shops. Close to Cheltenham and other Cotswold villages for visits. Sudely Castle close by but not open in November so will come back again when it is. Staff in the grounds were vey friendly. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels supplied.

Excellent!

We had a brilliant stay in Lord High Admiral. We were four adults who fit comfortably in the two large bedrooms and well appointed bathrooms. The downstairs living area was more than adequate and the kitchen was well equipped with appropriate “starter pack”. The proximity to Winchcombe and the castle was fabulous. We loved it!

A wonderful wedding weekend

We stayed at the Lord High Admiral for three nights (arrive Thursday depart Sunday) as we were attending a wedding at Sudeley Castle. The cottage was great, close to Winchcome and its shops and bars (10 minutes walk to the Lion Inn, 5 minutes to the White Hart), and to the Castle itself, which was around 5 minutes drive up the road. It is possible to walk to and from the Castle, but we drove each time. The cottage was immaculate, the staff at Bolthole Retreats super friendly and efficient. All in all a wonderful weekend was complemented by a brilliant place to stay.

The perfect getaway

Wonderful little cluster of cottages superbly located for walks, the village and the castle. Perfect for me and my mum. The cottage had everything we needed and lovely welcome pack. Great, friendly service when I couldn't work out how to open the door! Definately will be back. Thankyou.

8/10 Good

Overall a very nice place and in good condition. It had everything needed for an enjoyable stay.

We enjoyed our time in the suite, a few things we noticed. The floor in the ensuite was quite squeaky, the ensuite window could use a clean up ( paint) the wall on the stairway is scuffed up ( no doubt suitcases) and a simple local map of Winchcombe would have been helpful. None of these affected our stay however. Our interactions with the booking folks worked out okay but it seems a little impersonal when all done remotely. I guess that’s just how these things are going now. All in all a good experience and we will recommend it. Dave and Ruth.

Fabulous

We walked in to a warm and cosy, clean, beautifully presented cottage with everything provided that you might need for a short break. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch. Great location, quiet and just a short (slightly uphill) walk into Winchcombe. The only issue was parking. Although there is a large car park, it was full in the evenings. Perhaps marked bays would encourage more considerate parking?

Fine place to stay.

The Lord High Admiral is ok for 4 persons. It’s a nice building in a lovely little street. It’s almost perfect. I missed a toilet on the ground floor. And in my opinion the tefal frying pan should be replaced: it’s damaged. We had a nice time.

small areas require attention

Welcome pack was appreciated. Main bedroom...En suite shower hose was dirty and plastic trim where shower screen meets the bath needs replacing. Low level dust on furniture. Twin room...nice cushions, not so nice pillows. 2nd bathroom needs a shelf and prompt attention to loose skirting board, mould reaching from there into shower. Downstairs windows very dirty. A second rail on the stairs would be helpful for safety.
