It is a traditional Cotswold cottage with a working inglenook fireplace. It has been offering guest accommodation for short breaks for almost ten years. Winchcombe is on the Cotswold Way. From the cottage guests have access to miles of country walks from the front door. Sudeley Castle, the resting place of the only Queen of England to be buried outside a royal palace, is within walking distance. A variety of pubs and restaurants can all be found within a 5 minute walk. The town also boasts a variety of independent shops, and two small supermarkets. The space There is an enclosed garden to the rear of the cottage. Please note: there is a refrigerator in the kitchen. It has an ice box. There is no freezer. The stairs are steep. Guest access: Guests will have sole use of the cottage. Towels and bed linen are provided. Previous guests have commented on how comfortable the bed is. Other things to note There are parking restrictions immediately outside the cottage, though there is free parking for an hour. There is a car park (£1 per day) which is a two-minute walk from the rear of the cottage, via the back gate. It is an old cottage and the stairs are steep. For that reason we do not accept children and the cottage is not advertised as suitable for those with mobility issues. Winchcombe is a working town, surrounded by farmland. Don't be surprised if you see farm machinery driving past the cottage and/or through the town. Cheltenham Racecourse is 7 miles from Winchcombe. Prescott Hill Climb is within 5 miles. It is 45 miles to Stratford-upon-Avon, a journey which should take less than an hour. There are many National Trust Properties within easy reach. If you enjoy walking, have a look at the Winchcombe Welcomes Walkers website. There are far too many footpaths to mention here! There are occasionally power cuts in Winchcombe which can mean that the heating system re-sets itself/switches off. Unfortunately, my own home is not on the same circuit as Penny Cottage. That means if there is a power outage at the cottage I will not be aware of it immediately that it happens. Any problems can usually be dealt with immediately by contacting Carol ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68170000/68165700/68165685/c4993be3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy dog friendly self contained Annexe near Cheltenham & The Cotswolds Cheltenham - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=68165685&PinnedHotelID=68165685&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78120000/78110300/78110291/15f97dea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rural hideaway but only 5 minutes from the centre of Cheltenham Cheltenham, Glos. - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=78110291&PinnedHotelID=78110291&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33920000/33916200/33916155/2d61785c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Apple Store, Great Doward In The Wye Valley Whitchurch, Ross on Wye - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 135 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=33916155&PinnedHotelID=33916155&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39420000/39418400/39418311/f35a9ad2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dove Cottage beautifully restored Tudor cottage sleeps 6 or 7 Winchcombe - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 62 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=39418311&PinnedHotelID=39418311&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19540000/19537700/19537659/f41a713f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming, secluded, characterful cottage in the heart of Lechlade Lechlade on Thames - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 89 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=19537659&PinnedHotelID=19537659&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33593100/33593066/d5117d02.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Victorian Wool Cottage on the Cotswold Way in Winchcombe.

I’m 6ft3 btw. Garden feels like it could do with some tlc but it’s still serviceable. Access to car park via garden was very useful when I realised it existed, though after checking comms I was told so that’s my bad, lol ##### Pan Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 30 Jul 2023 ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Slaughters Country Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Slaughters-Country-Inn.h5484211.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Plough Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Plough-Inn.h12926879.Hotel-Information) > > [Architectural gem on an acclaimed Cotswold farm /2](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Architectural-Gem-On-An-Acclaimed-Cotswold-Farm-2.h98308927.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Broadlands Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Broadlands-Hotel.h2631331.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stag at Stow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Stag-At-Stow.h15876871.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lamb Inn Great Rissington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Lamb-Inn-Great-Rissington.h4592088.Hotel-Information) > > [Cleeve Hill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cleeve-Hill-House.h22944864.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bell at Stow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Bell-At-Stow.h35819374.Hotel-Information) > > [The Slaughters Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Slaughters-Manor-House.h790467.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Lords of the Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Lords-Of-The-Manor-Hotel.h17766135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colesbourne Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Colesbourne-Inn.h3810136.Hotel-Information) > > [Traditional Cotswold stone cottage with wonderful views and log burning fires](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Traditional-Cotswold-Stone-Cottage-Which-Sleeps-People-8-And-Has-2-Bathrooms.h64401899.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Rising Sun Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Rising-Sun-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h63601.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Manse Hotel Bourton by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Old-Manse-Hotel-Bourton-By-Greene-King-Inns.h3075291.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wheatsheaf Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Wheatsheaf-Inn.h1218872.Hotel-Information) > > [Duke of Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Duke-Of-Wellington.h44764080.Hotel-Information) > > [Montpellier Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Montpellier-Townhouse.h18167629.Hotel-Information) > > [Stylish Holiday Apartment - Gisleburtus House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Stylish-Holiday-Apartment-Gisleburtus-House.h95472920.Hotel-Information) > > [The Frogmill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Frogmill.h23324533.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) ---
