Cosy Cotswold Cottage - Penny Cottage - pet friendly - sleeps 2

Penny Cottage is in the heart of the former Saxon town of Winchcombe. 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.
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 be dealt with immediately by contacting either Liz or Carol
