About this property

Paddock Cottage - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

As you drive through the gates and along the gentle curves of the drive, the scene is set for a rather special experience. The Paddock Cottage forms one end of the low red brick building on your right-hand side as you enter the courtyard. The other end is its sister holiday let, Chestnut Cottage. This lovely retreat is surrounded by beautiful countryside yet only a mile from Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle and Gardens.

Compact and bijou, yet with everything you could possibly need, Paddock Cottage has been stylishly and thoughtfully designed to maximise the space available. Pale shades of green, yellow, and blue create a calm and relaxing space, whilst the modern furnishings bring a sense of urban luxe to this rural retreat. The open-plan living area has a well-equipped kitchenette and a plump, comfy sofa, creating a cosy place to relax. There's a sunny bedroom with double doors to a private patio and the smart shower room features dark green tiles and a corner shower.

To the rear of Paddock Cottage lies the field which gives rise to its name. A private enclosed patio furnished with a table and chairs overlooks this peaceful expanse of green. Linger for a while and listen to the sound of the birds in the trees, watch the sunsets and enjoy meals prepared on the charcoal barbecue.

*Dogs: 1 well-behaved dog welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
Leave muddy wellies outside on the wrought iron boot stand before stepping through the front door into Paddock Cottage. The small entrance hall houses a shoe rack and coat hooks for outdoor gear.

Kitchen/Living Room:
This well thought out space has a well-equipped kitchen area complete with a washer-dryer, slimline dishwasher, microwave-combi oven, and a two-ring induction hob. The pale grey units are topped with wooden work surfaces creating a modern, yet rustic feel. A large window overlooks the courtyard and allows plenty of natural light. The rest of the space creates a welcoming living area with a plump sofa, large Smart TV and large window overlooking the green swathe of paddock beyond.

Bedroom:
This pretty bedroom has a gentle woodland feel with a William Morris bedspread on the double bed and tree silhouettes on both the pendant lampshade and reading lamps that sit on the bedside tables. The botanical prints and artwork, further enhance the nature-based design. Cosy rugs sit on either side of the bed for keeping toes toasty and a stylish wood hanging rail provides space for hanging clothes. A pale wooden dressing table with a large mirror and a plush stool sits on one side of the double doors, which lead out to a private patio. It's a lovely place to enjoy lazy mornings as the sun creeps across the field in front of you.

Shower Room:
This smart shower room features dark, charcoal grey tiles underfoot and fabulous dark green wall tiles. The corner shower makes great use of the space as does the vanity unit which has a hand basin with storage underneath. There's also a W.C, wall mirror and frosted window which lets in the natural night.Outside
The private enclosed patio overlooks the tree-lined paddock. It's a peaceful spot to enjoy a barbecue or just relax and soak up the sounds of the countryside. There is parking for two cars in the courtyard at the front of the cottage.

Paddock Cottage Review
Thank you to the owners of Paddock Cottage and Bolthole Retreats. The process was very professional from start to finish. The Cottage itself was fabulous. Very good location, great bed and shower. Sofa and TV was perfect. The kitchen had everything you needed. The Cottage is in great condition and we enjoyed our stay. We will return.

Beautiful high end cottage stay
Lovely spacious top notch cottage out in the countryside, very peaceful and quiet. Plenty of parking, living area way bigger than it looks in the photos and everything you might need is available. Was delighted with the heavy curtains in the bedroom ensuring we weren’t awoken by the sun at the crack of dawn. Beautiful property, just a shame we were out for most of our stay and didn’t enjoy it as much as we would’ve liked to.

Great stay
Absolutely stunning cottage, perfect for mini getaway. The only issue was the directions, on google maps you have to type "chestnut cottage", otherwise you are directed to the wrong location. Apart from that, would highly recommend this cottage.

Perfect cottage for two
This is a lovely cottage, perfect for a short stay. It's very clean, comfortable and well appointed. It's in a peaceful location which meant we had quiet nights and undisturbed sleep. The only slight issue I had was with the overhead shower because I don't like having to wash and style my hair every day. A height adjustable shower would have been perfect. And no, a shower cap is not the answer.

We had a great vista and lots of wildlife squirrels bring in abundance. There was everything in the cottage you would need for a short break of even a week away.

Lovely quiet location
Perfect location for couples to visit attractions in the Cotswolds. We stayed here to visit Sudeley Castle which was brilliant. The accommodation was furnished to a high standard and very comfortable.

Excellent weekend stay in lovely location and cottage
A great, clean and lovely retreat for two people in a beautiful setting. The location is great and very close to some wonderful little villages including within walking distance of Winchcombe. The Winchcombe way offers as much walking as desired and across beautiful scenery ending up wherever you fancy. A wonderful place to stay!

Paddock Cottage
Overall the property was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. However, we were unable to connect to the internet when we arrived. We rang the number we had been given and then sent a message but received no reply. in the morning we rang Bolthole Retreats who gave us a different number. This resulted in a partial coverage but we were not able to use the smart tv while staying at the property. There were only two mugs at the property, although there were lots of glasses.

Would definitely book again.
In the area for work, originally booked somewhere more basic but husband was able to come with me so decided to look for somewhere a bit nicer - definitely lucky to find Paddock Cottage! Not the largest of places, but didn't feel cramped at all and had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend stay; we both thought that the cottage would provide a good place to stay for a longer period of time, too. If I need to stay in the area next year, we'll definitely look to re-book.

I stayed here during Cheltenham Festival week. It was like an oasis to get back to after a busy day at the racecourse. Everything you need is provided.

Lovely stay in A* accommodation!
We loved Paddock Cottage - sparkling clean, amazing views of the surrounding countryside, warm and welcoming and beautiful decor. Comfy bed too! The paddock at the back of the cottage was also brilliant for walking and playing with our dog. Loads to see and do locally, Winchcombe is a gem of a town! Highly recommended, hope to return.
