Cotswold Way Walking Weekend

Characterful, quirky property with everything we needed. Central location in Winchcombe was perfect for our walking holiday, though single pane windows and overnight roadworks did make for a noisy first night, much better the second night.

Perfect cottage and combination of old and new

We REALLY enjoyed our visit to Winchcombe, and staying at the Dove Cottage was a highlight. It is exactly as advertised, with flexible accommodations, a central location, and responsive, friendly hosts. We would stay here again without hesitation. Upon your arrival, we highly recommend a pint of real ale in the back garden of the Lion Inn, just two minutes away. Dinner there, and at the local Indian place, was great too.

Very pleasant place to stay

Charming and comfortable cottage in a small town with fascinating history and also at the intersection of several hiking trails. We had the best sleep each night. The gallery art in the cottage added flair and interest. We would definitely recommend Dove Cottage.

Great stay at Dove Cottage

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dove Cottage. It perfectly accommodated two elderly grandparents, three kids ages 9,14 and 17 along with my wife and I for a week’s stay in the Cotswolds. We loved the updates mixed with some of the historical nuisances of the cottage. It was appropriately outfitted to allow for multiple evenings of cooking in while also being within easy walking distance of several great local Winchcombe Pubs. We utilized the wood burning stove on a few chilly evenings and it took away the chill and set a cozy atmosphere in the front room. It was a wonderful place to call home for the week and we would absolutely stay again.

Amazing Cottage

The Dove Cottage was absolutely perfect! We traveled from Texas to visit the town my great grandmother was born in. The home provided us a great space to fit 3 adults and 2 children. We had a beautiful sitting room to enjoy our family coming to visit from cheltenham. The cottage was filled with beautiful art and so much love. Loved the North Bakery close by.

Perfect Cotswolds Cottage

What a wonderful cottage and location. Right on the High street, a quick walk from anything you need, in a charming historic village. We appreciated the hosts' proactive host communication to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was beautifully appointed and comfortable. Wouldn't change a thing. If we are lucky enough to make it back to the Cotswolds, we'll rebook at the same place.

Wonderfully Charming Cottage

We had a wonderful time here at Doves Cottage. It’s a charming place in the heart of Winchcombe and served us well as home base to explore the Cotswolds. A handful of coffee shops markets and restaurants - even one with a Michelin star - are just a few steps away. The house itself is very well appointed. It doubles as an art studio so there many works on display which makes the decor top notch and they are available for purchase as well. There were eight of us and we all fit nicely - beds for all - two and a half baths - common area seating. The back walkway and garden are beautiful with foliage and flowers - be sure to yell out Squirrel! when you see it on the neighbors house. Sudeley Castle is very close - we walked - about 30 minutes - and a definite must see - there’s a queen buried there. Many thanks to Katharine for her hospitality!

Special home in a very special location

Dove Cottage, in the historic town of Winchcombe, has been lovingly restored to welcome its visitors. Within 2 blocks of Dove Cottage, visitors can find everything they need. Lots of opportunity for walks through the Cotswolds and opportunities to explore the fascinating history of the area. Bus service to places further afield is excellent, so day trips are easy.

Charming Winchcombe...

The village of Winchcombe is charming and easily accessible to nearby Cotswold villages. There are a few pubs and restaurants which served very good, local food. We initially struggled with heating the home but after calling the owners, we were instructed on what to do to make the space cozy and warm. The beds were comfortable and included nice linens. The kitchen was lacking in basic supplies like napkins, paper towels, cream for coffee, etc. It would have been nice to have had a "welcome" offering of a bottle of wine or a few pieces of fruit. There is a nice espresso maker and the owners had left coffee for us.
