About this property

Stunning Grade II listed cottage on Vineyard Street in the heart of Winchcombe.

Fancy an early summer escape in the beautiful Cotswolds? Good availability from 16th - 28th June & in August. A warm welcome awaits you at The Feathered Nest in the heart of Winchcombe. Home to Sudeley Castle and the Winchcombe meteorite as well as perfectly located to explore the many beautiful Cotswold villages.

Guests often say how delighted they are to have discovered Winchcombe as it’s less busy compared to some of the more well known Cotswold Villages but still with all the charm & in a fantastic location for walking or sightseeing the region.

As a local resident and private host I take the utmost pride in our holiday cottage and love nothing more than ensuring our guests have the best possible holiday they can.
I live locally and am on hand to offer advice whether this is on places to visit, restaurants to book or bring you some more logs for the fire.

This enchanting 18th Century cottage cannot fail to impress the discerning guest. The property has been sympathetically restored with the highest standard of fixtures and fittings as you would come to expect from our previous cottage - The Vine. Everything has been thought of to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Providing an exceptional guest experience is very important to us therefore we do not add any hidden extra's to the cost. No local tax or additional person charge. What you see is what you pay.
Situated in the heart of the Anglo-Saxon town of Winchcombe you are only a stone's throw from the magnificent Sudeley Castle Esate.

N.B. For Stays during the winter months you will receive a free basket of logs and enjoy festive touches such as Fairy Lights, Wreath and Foliage over the FirePlace.

As you enter the cottage you walk into the flagstoned floor sitting room with large inglenook fireplace and log burning stove. Up two steps you walk into the brand new kitchen with four ring induction hob and electric oven, fridge freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, slimline dishwasher and washing machine. Towards the back of the kitchen is a pretty recess area for dining with upholstered bench seating and dining table. To your right is the luxurious bathroom with Bath Store bath, separate shower enclosure with rain shower head, WC and sink. From the back door you climb three steps into the sunny garden terrace complete with patio furniture. A perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while the sun sets over the town.
Upstairs is the first floor bedroom with king size John Lewis bed, a wardrobe and recessed shelving complete with lined storage baskets. Bespoke light fittings complement the warm interior. The White Company bed linen and large fluffy White Company Bath Sheets & hand towels are provided for your comfort.
From this bedroom a narrow staircase leads up to the second floor bedroom which has two full size single beds and a pretty dressing table. Under bed storage is also provided.
The property is centrally heated with a brand new cast iron radiators throughout.
Please note that this property is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties due to the number of steps at the property and the twisting narrow staircase. The property was built around 1800 and has many period features.
We provide many home comforts to make packing as easy as possible. There is a hairdryer, electric fan, iron and ironing board & clothes airer provided.
Tea and coffee making facilities are also provided for your comfort.
Winchcombe itself is a delightful small town with a fascinating past stretching back as far as the Saxon era. With the beautiful Sudeley Castle set in a breathtaking 1,200 acre estate on our doorstep and a wealth of National Trust properties locally, Winchcombe cannot fail but impress. Winchcombe also hit the headlines earlier this year when the meteorite landed on a neighbouring property.
Cheltenham is a mere 8 miles away with its impressive array of festivals from Jazz to Literature, Science to Music. For horse racing fans Cheltenham racecourse is a short drive away and during the racing fixtures, there is a wonderful buzz around town as Winchcombe welcomes many more visitors to the town.
Whatever season you visit Winchcombe you will be warmly welcomed by the local pubs and restaurants which are all extraordinarily good.
Further afield you are fantastically located to visit some of the most popular Cotswold towns such as Broadway, Stow-in-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water or even Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon.
I can assure you after a mini-break at The Feathered Nest you really won't want to leave.

Ideal location in Winchcombe
I stayed in this property with my family for a week. The location in Winchcombe is perfect, easy walking distance to all shops , restaurants and local attractions and also ideally situated as a starting point to a wide variety of countryside walks both short and long. The cottage is well equipped and has a lovely seating area at the rear which catches the sun in the afternoon. Although there is no reserved parking we had no problem parking directly outside the property for the duration of our stay and there is plenty of alternative parking close by. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property for a stay in the Cotswolds.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay in Winchcombe. Loved the combination of the feel of being in a cottage with a lot of history with modern day comforts of a well equipped kitchen and beautiful bathroom with an amazing shower. The outside space was perfect ....a real suntrap and great place to relax after a long walk. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to family and friends.

Hübsches Cottage in einem netten Dörfchen
Nettes, kleines, uraltes Reihenhäuschen, hinten wurde eine moderne Küche und das Bad angebaut. Alles so, wie auf den Bildern beschrieben. Ruhig gelegen, Parkplatz auf der Straße vor der Türe war leicht zu ergattern. Nix zu meckern. Allerdings recht steile Treppe zum Elternschlafzimmer, durch dieses gelangt man über eine weitere steile Stiege in das kleine Kinderschlafzimmmer. Es gibt wenig Stauraum/Schränke. Wir waren nur zu zweit und haben das Kinderzimmer mit unseren Koffern belegt. Zu viert wird es wohl recht eng. Küche ist gut ausgestattet; schmaler Geschirrspüler und sogar mit Waschmaschine, die gleichzeitig als Trockner fungiert. Alles sauber. Die Lage am Rande der Cotswolds ist gut, sämtliche Ziele in der Gegend sind gut erreichbar. Der Ort selbst ist touristische noch nicht überlaufen. Wir können das Essen im Lion Inn sehr empfehlen. Wirklich netter und hübsch eingerichteter Pub. Unser Ziel an verregneten Abenden. Leider konnte wir so den netten Biergarten nicht genießen. Fazit: Wenn Sie kein Problem mit steilen Treppen haben, treffen Sie hier eine gute Wahl.

Lovely property, great location
We throughly enjoyed our 10 day stay at this cosy cottage. Thoughtfully renovated to a very high standard and very well equipped. The bonus for us was the outside space which enabled us to take full advantage of some unexpected, but glorious, April weather. Winchcombe is a delightful little town with several pubs, restaurants and independent shops - as well as a castle at the end of the road! Perfectly situated also for visiting all of the "must-see" places in the Cotswolds.

Exactly as we expected my family loved this property right in the heart of stunning Winchcombe.
It had everything we needed and the lovely xmas touches made our stay even more special. The stair cases are very narrow and it was s challenge to get our cases up to the top floor so we didnt in the end. No idea how the furniture made it up there lol. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and wash clothes and the kitchen nook made a lovely extra space for my family to spread out. Thoroughly recommend this fabulous property on this historic village

About the host

Host profile image
Paul and I had been looking for an investment purchase for a couple of years following the success of our holiday cottage The Vine. Property: 8147381 This is our second holiday cottage in Winchcombe and we have been delighted with how popular the cottage has proved to be. Whether for tourists visiting The Cotswolds for the first time or regular visitors who join one of the many walking groups we are looking forward to providing a comfortable bolt hole for guests throughout 2024 and beyond.
Guests have been delighted with the high level of comfort they receive, how surprisingly light and airy the property is and in particular they comment on the pretty walled garden and the high quality fixtures and fittings we have sourced to give that 'boutique hotel' feel to the property.
Please email us or request to book for further information.
Why Winchcombe? Winchcombe has been our home now for eighteen years and we love living here. Winchcombe has a true village feel with a real heart and soul. While on the doorstep of Cheltenham and many of the popular Cotswold villages, you won't have the huge number of coaches and day visitors found in some other locations. During the Spring of 2021 Winchcombe hit the national headlines in regards to the Meteorite landing just a few doors away here in Winchcombe.

Why they chose this property

Vineyard Street is the most photographed street in Winchombe and even features on the We LOVE England website. It is a beautiful row of 18th Century cottages and when number 6 came to the market in 2015 we couldn't wait to invest in it. The property has been meticulously restored and renovated to live up the expectations of 21st Century guests.

What makes this property unique

At The Feathered Nest you are on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful Cotswold villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway, Stratford-upon-Avon and Chipping Camden. The magnificent Sudeley Castle Estate is a short walk away. Within 500yards you are at the gates to the castle and a beautiful driveway leads to the castle itself.
The property benefits from a pretty walled garden from where you can enjoy a glass of pimms on your own private sunny terrace while listening to the church bells a short distance away.
The kitchen dining area works well and is lovely and light with four new velux ceiling lights.
The front room is warm and cosy with its large hearth and log burning stove. Logs are provided from November to April. A new flat screen television with free sat channels is provided and free wifi is provided throughout the property.
Upstairs the high standard of comfort continues with a John Lewis king size bed and White Company Bed Linen and fluffy towels to add to that hotel feel. A small wardrobe, recessed storage and deep pile carpet is welcome underfoot. On the second floor two full size single beds with under bed storage and a small dressing table unit provide a cosy room for two. The top floor window opens to views over the town and church. To the rear of the property is a beautiful raised terrace, perfect for an evening sundowner while listening to the birds sing or the church bells peel. To the front of the property there is unrestricted parking for a car, meaning you can leave your car all week if you choose while you enjoy walking the Winchcombe Way.
