Dove Cottage beautifully restored Tudor cottage sleeps 6 or 7

Dove cottage is a restored and extended Tudor cottage in the heart of Winchcombe. It is refurbished to a high standard with quality, comfortable furnishings, a large inglenook and log burner and original art throughout (the owner is a well known artist, Katharine Dove).

Ideal for two or three couples looking for a cottage with two large double bedrooms (the sitting room sofa bed makes an optional 3rd double bedroom leaving plenty of entertaining space in the living area). All rooms have character and there are two bathrooms upstairs and toilet and sink off the ground floor sitting room.

Also good family accommodation due to the versatility to sleep 2 adults or up to 3 children on the top floor.

The master has a king size bed. The second large bedroom on the top floor, has a zip and link bed. It can be a 6ft double or two 3ft single beds. T

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.

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. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

An art and countryside lover's paradise

This is a really lovely property set in the heart of charming Winchcombe but at the same time very secluded. The property is very well equipped and light and cosy even in the depths of winter (we stayed mid December), there are lots of lovely pubs and eating places within walking distance and easy access to Sudeley Castle and great country walks. And if you are an art-lover you are in paradise - with so much original artwork on the walls - a real treat.

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.

Beautiful Cottage

I can't recommend Dove Cottage enough. It was beautifully decorated, warm, cozy and with every amenity provided. The location in the middle of Winchcombe was wonderful, with all the shops and cafes at your disposal. It really is the perfect country village and Dove Cottage is the perfect cottage inside it. The manager was extremely helpful and responded to all our questions immediately. Again, a lovely cottage in a lovely village.

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.

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.

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!

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.
