These cottages are owned by the Brocklehurst Dent Family and are very sympathetic conversions from old mill buildings. The Queen''s Cottage which is where we stayed, is the former engine house.
There is a large variety in the style and accommodations in the cottages. The Queen''s Cottage and the Emma Dent are stand alone buildings. The Queen''s Cottage has 2 bedrooms, a queen bedded room and a twin bedded room. It sleeps 4. The Emma Dent has 3 Bedrooms and sleeps 6.
We have previously stayed in the Prince Rupert which is a duplex style apartment with 2 bedrooms upstairs. There are two other very similar apartments the Charles I and the George III. The Gate House Cottages the Queen Mary and the Anne Boleyn are also duplex style with 2 bedrooms and the Lord High Admiral is a one bedroom and is a second floor apartment. There are 4 other apartments, the Lady Jane Grey has 3 bedrooms and one has a canopy bed, The Queen Elizabeth also has a canopy bed and also a twin bedded room, St Kenhelm has one double and one single and Oliver Cromwell has one double and one twin.
The Cottages here are very well furnished and the couches and chairs are plentiful and very comfortable. Ever effort is made to make your stay is delightful including unlimited access to Sudeley Castle.
Housekeeping is available for the Queen''s Cottage and for the Emma Dent.
Winchcombe is a very short walk away and there is a tea room on the corner of Castle Road and High Street which is very good.
We went grocery shopping in Stow or in Tewkesbury since there is not a supermarket in Winchcombe.
Linen and heat are included in the price and there is ample parking. There is also a very small store on the premises and the housekeeper is there most times during the day.
