Kingfisher Cottage - sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms

Nestled in the wonderful market town of Winchcombe, this relaxing retreat in the heart of the Cotswolds is the perfect base for a family or group getaway to this beautiful part of the world. Experience sweeping countryside views and a tranquil garden with gentle babbling stream winding alongside it. Discover local highlights like Sudeley Castle, Broadway and Cheltenham Racecourse or explore the wider Cotswolds.

Situated in a peaceful location in one of the Cotswold’s most beautiful towns, this spacious 5-bedroom stone house couldn’t be in a better location for a holiday to the Cotswolds. A standout feature of this property is its exceptional spaces for socialising, making it an ideal choice for family or friends gathering together. The spacious country kitchen is perfect for preparing indulgent breakfasts while an impressive conservatory doubling as a dining room and games room is a great place to enjoy sociable dinners and entertaining evenings.

Upstairs, five spacious, elegantly furnished bedrooms are serene heavens for a restful night’s sleep, with a mixture of doubles and twins offering flexible sleeping arrangements.

The crowning glory of Kingfisher Cottage is its spectacular garden. Summer days can be spent reading a book while taking in the incredible views across picturesque fields while evenings are for long al fresco dinners or barbecues. With the enchanting River Isbourne meandering past the garden, you can relax to the sound of babbling water passing you by. From the end of the garden, you can join a footpath for beautiful country walks or into scenic Winchcombe high street for a stop at one of its lovely pubs or cafes.

Lovely place to have a family get together

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. The property is beautifully presented and well equipped. The owners popped over to welcome us which was lovely. The treats left were very welcome too. The large room at the back has stunning views of the garden and the countryside beyond and was definitely a massive highlight. We would definitely like to return for another stay.

Excellent property in a great location.

An excellent property with four ensuite well presented bedrooms, an additional downstairs bedroom and ground floor bathroom / wet room. We were lucky with the weather and made good use of the garden, the kitchen is very well equipped and we had some great meals at the large table in the conservatory. There's a great walk immediately out the back along the river and the village up the road has a couple of pubs with great beer gardens at a gentle sub 10 minute walk. So all in all highly recommended. A bonus for us was the full sized pool table which got a lot of use!!

A family weekend in kingfisher cottage

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating my 65 birthday at kingfisher cottage. It was a perfect place for extended family with my toddler Granddaughter. It was lovely and warm , very large with a very well equipped kitchen. Lots of room for everyone to relax with several sofas to lounge on. Beds were comfortable with excellent en suites . We were just 5 minutes walk to centre of town with pubs and restaurants

A Comfortable Stay for 10 people.

We had a very comfortable stay for 10 people. The house was immaculate on arrival and Christmas decorations made a very festive look. There was enough space for all of us to be comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was fun having the Pool table for us to use. We would certainly book it again.

Can't fault this cottage. Spacious, calm setting, gorgeous walks on your doorstep, shops for essentials a few mins away, owners very responsive (they live next door, are very unobtrusive but also came round immediately when we needed help with the TV!). Beds very comfortable, hot water on demand, plugs and lamps everywhere they're needed (not always the case in holiday lets), very sharp knives for cooking (i usually bring my own), toiletries, welcome biscuits and prosecco, tea/coffee, the list goes on! They've thought of everything. Highly recommend.

A Beautiful Retreat

We had an extended family weekend at Kingfisher Cottage which we found very homely and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided which was amazing considering we comprised a group aged 9 months to 90. We appreciated having different seating areas that accommodated our large party - sitting room, conservatory and patio, and the kitchen/breakfast room was an ideal social area too. We appreciated the beautifully crafted touches of home decor and the love that had been put into the cottage to make it so welcoming. Many thanks to the owners in making our stay so memorable.

Great house in beautiful surroundings.

Had a wonderful break . The house was perfect for my elderly mother having ground floor facilities as well as the use of a wheelchair. The 4 ensuit bedrooms ideal for the other 7. Plenty of space for us all , we particularly enjoyed the use of the pool table, the beautiful gardens and being able to walk from the house into Winchcombe. Plenty of walks and places to visit . Would definitely recommend.
