Castle Vale Cottage

Castle Vale Cottage: Gloucestershire

Charming and bright, this Grade II-listed cottage in the heart of Winchcombe is a beautiful mix of old and new. Retaining some of the original character –including beamed ceilings and stone walls – it has been modernised to make your stay comfortable. There's plenty of space here for eight, but if you need more, there's also a garden with an alfresco dining space. Given the central location, you're surrounded by boutiques, artisanal shops, cafes and more. You're also within walking distance of a pub for a quintessentially British experience.

Home truths:
*There is unrestricted free on-street parking here.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance and bring your own linen. There's a fixed stair gate here.
*The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
*There are stairs to climb here.
*There's a Nespresso machine here, but you'll need your own capsules. If you want to stock up on essentials during your stay, you'll find the closest supermarket minutes away.
*Due to this home's location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
*Hen and stag parties are not allowed. Other events may be allowed with approval from your host.
