5 Bedroom Cottage in Winchcombe

This handsome and well-proportioned 1900's holiday home has a riverside setting with superb views. It is just 0.3 miles from the centre of Winchcombe and sits slightly back off the Winchcombe to Broadway Road behind a tall hedge that provides a cossetted and private setting. An immaculate driveway, planted with country cottage flowers and shrubs, provides parking for up to five cars. The 102-mile-long Cotswold Way passes the front door and guests can walk across the fields to Sudeley Castle & Gardens.
The owners of Kingfisher Cottage have created a very well-equipped holiday home with a spacious, interconnecting ground floor area that features a kitchen-breakfast room, a living room, and a large conservatory that's both an elegant dining area and games room, with a full-size pool table. Kingfisher is ideal for disabled guests as it has a ground-floor twin bedroom with a Craftmatic electric bed and a fully accessible wet room. On the first floor are four very well appointed ensuite bedrooms, four with standard double beds and one twin.
Kingfisher Cottage has a wonderful garden. The owners love of gardening is immediately obvious as it is planted with a huge array of flowering annuals, perennials and bushes, as well as having mature trees, a delightful flower-covered pergola and a lovely expanse of lawn. Immediately outside the breakfast room and the conservatory is a long patio with a border full of flowering plants, and a wooden fence that backs onto the bank of the River Isbourne. Open fields lie beyond with the Cotswold countryside immediately accessible via a footpath to the side of the house. The patio has a beautiful, hand-built wooden table to seat 10 guests and two bistro tables with parasols. On the lawn are four sun loungers and a garden bench.
Ground Floor

A tall, in-built dresser provides storage space for all the quality crockery, cutlery and serving plates, while glasses a plenty can be found in the cupboards to either side of the stove.
At the far end of the kitchen, with French doors opening to the patio and garden, is a four-to-six-seater dining table and a breakfast bar with three bar stools - the perfect space for casual breakfasts, quick snacks or to seat younger members of the group should they prefer to dine separately.

Conservatory Dining-Games Room:
Leading through from the living room on one side and the breakfast room to the other side is the conservatory, with its arching glass roof and fantastic countryside views. This fabulous room, with its 10-seater dining table, provides a wonderful dining space that's airy and bright in the summer and cosy in the winter - thanks to the underfloor heating. Beside the dining table is a long sofa and table with a sound bar and a full-size pool table. French doors lead directly from the conservatory into the garden, blending indoor-outdoor living perfectly when the weather allows.

Outside
Kingfisher Cottage's private, enclosed garden is a dream for gardeners. It is a verdant, hedge-framed oasis filled with vibrant country flowers, lovingly nurtured by the owners. A large patio area, accessible via the cottage's conservatory and kitchen, offers a great spot for al fresco dining with its long dining table seating ten, bistro tables and charcoal BBQ. The well-sized lawn area has four sun loungers and a pergola, making it great for kids wanting some space to play in or for grownups to relax after a long day out walking and exploring the Cotswolds. Running alongside the garden is the River Isbourne, a gentle stream accessible via a public footpath to the rear, which provides a soothing soundtrack of running water during al fresco summer dinners. What's more, rolling fields as far as the eye can see offer a beautiful backdrop to the garden, making you feel well and truly in the heart of the country wherever you turn.

Summary: All aspects of our stay were excellent. The property was beautifully furnished, very well located on the outskirts of the lovely town and within walking distance of Sudeley Castle. The pool table and garden were an added bonus.
Clare C. Nov 5, 2024 11:10:06 PM
Summary: We were a party of 8 adults and the house accommodated us very well. Location is excellent - you can walk to Winchcombe centre and to Sudley Castle. Diane, the owner, was very welcoming. The only minor observation was that the dining table chairs had lost their padding which made them uncomfortable to sit on We took up Diane's suggestion of a meal at The Corner Cupboard Inn in the village which we all enjoyed.. We would highly recommend Kingfisher Cottage
Duncan P. Oct 6, 2024 09:09:21 PM
Summary: A very comfortable house in a great location. A shame that all the nearby walks were flooded but that is not their fault.
Jun 21, 2024 09:11:20 PM
Summary: Had a wonderful break . The house was perfect for my elderly mother having ground floor facilities as well as the use of a wheelchair. The 4 ensuit bedrooms ideal for the other 7. Plenty of space for us all , we particularly enjoyed the use of the pool table, the beautiful gardens and being able to walk from the house into Winchcombe. Plenty of walks and places to visit . Would definitely recommend.
Patrick D. Jun 3, 2024 02:16:33 AM
Summary: We used the Cottage for a family celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. The property comfortably took all ten of us ranging from 4 to 74. Lovely garden and amenities perfectly located for family gatherings.
Rob B. May 26, 2024 09:43:38 PM

Summary: Kingfisher Cottage is in an amazing location and provided plenty of room and all the facilities we needed for 7 adults, 3 children and 1 baby for a long weekend. The outdoor table in the beautiful garden was a bonus and appreciated by all.
Jenny D. Apr 30, 2024 09:10:05 PM
Summary: 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.
Steven C. Mar 27, 2024 09:08:17 PM
Summary: Excellent location. 10 guests fit comfortably. The owners thought of everything to make the stay a good experience. Walkable distance to the town and castle. Owners provided lots of information including maps and good walks
Jan 7, 2024 11:08:52 PM
Summary: This very comfortable property was ideally suited for our extended family group, for our Christmas get together. The 3 spacious communal rooms were excellent, providing different relaxation opportunities for our party of varied ages ( 1 to 75 years ) & the pool table provided additional entertainment for the adults. The property is very well equipped, & was provided with a lovely Christmas tree & decorations. The house & garden are well positioned & have a lovely outlook to the rear. The property is only 10 minutes walk from the town centre, with a wide range of amenities. Winchcombe is a great base for local walks & visits to other Cotswold attractions. We particularly enjoyed our visit to the Spectacle of Light at Sudeley Castle. We were impressed with the service provided by Bolthole Retreats, & the property owners son was very responsive when we had a minor problem with the heating system.
