Penny Cottage, nestled in the charming town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, offers a cozy retreat for two, perfect for short breaks in the picturesque Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This traditional Cotswold cottage features a welcoming inglenook fireplace, enhancing its rustic charm. Having provided guest accommodations for nearly a decade, the cottage allows visitors to explore the scenic Cotswold Way, with miles of country walks accessible right from the front door. Notably, Sudeley Castle, the final resting place of England's only queen buried outside a royal palace, is within walking distance, adding a touch of historical significance to the stay.
Guests will find a variety of amenities within a short five-minute walk, including numerous pubs, restaurants, and independent shops, alongside two small supermarkets for everyday needs. The cottage itself boasts an enclosed garden at the rear, providing a private outdoor space. However, it is important to note that the kitchen includes a refrigerator without an ice box or freezer, and the steep stairs may pose a challenge for some guests. Due to these characteristics, the cottage is not suitable for children or individuals with mobility issues.
Penny Cottage is conveniently located near free parking for one hour, with a nearby car park available for just £1 per day, accessible via a two-minute walk from the rear gate. This old cottage is situated in a working town surrounded by farmland, where visitors might encounter farm machinery passing through. For those interested in local attractions, Cheltenham Racecourse is a mere seven miles away, while Prescott Hill Climb is within five miles, and Stratford-upon-Avon is just 45 miles away, easily reachable in under an hour. The area also features several National Trust properties, making it a great base for exploring the region.
While enjoying the tranquil surroundings, guests should be aware that power outages can occasionally occur in Winchcombe, which may affect the cottage's heating system. Immediate assistance can be provided by contacting the hosts, Liz or Carol, should any issues arise. For cultural enthusiasts, the Winchcombe Folk and Police Museum offers local insights, and outdoor activities abound with opportunities for cycling, hiking, and golfing nearby. Whether seeking relaxation or adventure, Penny Cottage serves as a delightful home base for exploring the beauty and history of the Cotswolds.
