The cottages each have their own individual charm. Most have been cleverley restored and converted from existing properties, including a forge and a paper mill, and have retained many original and unique features. Three newer properties are sympathetic in their design and architecture and blend seamlessly into the group. Their location makes them an ideal choice for a walking or touring holiday or simply as an escape into the Cotswold countryside. The historic town of Winchcombe, once the capital of Mercia, is just a five minute walk and offers an interesting mix of retailers, teashops, pubs and restaurants, whilst the regency spa town of Cheltenham is only 8 miles away. All accommodation is carefully prepared for your arrival, with laundry and bedding supplied. The cottages are comfortably furnished to a three star standard and have well equipped kitchens. There is an information office and laundry on site and our housekeeper is on hand throughout your stay. Travel cots, high chairs and stair gates are also available.
