A sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Lord High Admiral is a charming semi-detached cottage located in the Sudeley Castle Cottage Complex - and one of the most recent to be restored and converted.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Downstairs, there is a lounge with new contemporary soft furnishings, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. For your entertainment, there is a flat-screen TV and DVD player, whilst a new WiFi system provides you with access to the internet.

Upstairs there is one double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and one twin bedroom with a further large bathroom with a walk-in shower immediately adjacent. Fluffy towels and bedding are provided for all guests.

Our stay at Bolthole Retreats, Lord High Admiral Cottage, Sudeley Castle

We really enjoyed our stay. All amenities were available and the cottage was extremely comfortable. Highly delighted with the welcome pack. Car parking was very good. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this cottage.

Winchcombe stay

We were 2 couples staying for 3 nights and the cottage was perfectly placed for walk into the centre and the shops. Close to Cheltenham and other Cotswold villages for visits. Sudely Castle close by but not open in November so will come back again when it is. Staff in the grounds were vey friendly. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels supplied.

Wonderful place to stay!

My wife and I stayed in this cottage after our wedding at Sudeley Castle. It was absolutely delightful, with a well supplied kitchen, clean bathrooms and a really comfortable bedroom. Superb location close to Winchcombe and the castle, and the group of cottages made it suitable to have our family stay close by. Amazing stay, would absolutely recommend and stay again.

Wonderful Stay in the Cotswolds

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lord High Admiral cottage at Sudeley Castle. The cottage was clean and comfortable and conveniently located close to town so we were able to walk to pick up groceries and go out to dinner at the quaint pubs. Also a short walk through a field with sheep to get to the Castle which was amazing! I wish we could have stayed longer in this beautiful and historic area of England!

The perfect getaway

Wonderful little cluster of cottages superbly located for walks, the village and the castle. Perfect for me and my mum. The cottage had everything we needed and lovely welcome pack. Great, friendly service when I couldn't work out how to open the door! Definately will be back. Thankyou.

Enjoyable stay

My friends stayed in this property & we were able to get together very easily from nearby cottage. Good kitchen facilities - shame there wasn’t a dishwasher. Lovely bedrooms & en-suite was a plus. Enjoyed their stay & appreciated the free entrance to the castle & gardens.

Excellent!

We had a brilliant stay in Lord High Admiral. We were four adults who fit comfortably in the two large bedrooms and well appointed bathrooms. The downstairs living area was more than adequate and the kitchen was well equipped with appropriate “starter pack”. The proximity to Winchcombe and the castle was fabulous. We loved it!

A lovely place to stay

We really enjoyed staying at this property which was in an excellent location in Winchcombe and very quiet with convenient and safe parking. The house was spacious and comfortable, the only slight downside was that the two showers were only lukewarm. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable and the house was attractively decorated and very clean. We would definitely return.

Great location, very confortable

Lovely cottage, great location. Only small complaints because it was really expensive so we did expect it to be top notch! Be nice to have enough milk for 4 people when we arrived, and the sofas were stained. But kitchen super well equipped, lots towels, very comfortable.

Beautiful and comfortable

A haven in the Cotswolds, easy walking everywhere with good walks in the village and countryside. Our accommodation at Lord High Admiral in the cottages was pristine and very comfortable. No dishwasher, but that didn’t matter. Appreciated the welcome pack with milk, tea, biscuits and we were lucky to be able to check in early on the day. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable, comfortable stay

I think the sofas need cleaning or reupholstering. The courtyard light is also too sensitive and kept flashing on and off even though the heavy curtains. However, everythingelse was very comfortable.

A real gem, incredibly cosy and with beautiful castle gardens next door

Turning into the street with the Castle Cottages, an admiring gasp escaped us. This place is magical and time seems to turn slower here. We were very delighted when we entered the lovingly furnished, spotlessly clean and above all incredibly cosy rooms. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Everything is of a high standard. We found some milk, biscuits, coffee and tea as a welcome gift very nice. The close proximity to the castle and the free entrance were a big plus. We would have visited the beautiful castle gardens every day if there wasn't so much else to visit nearby. Too little time! We were really blown away by the accommodation, it is a real gem.

Overall a very nice place and in good condition. It had everything needed for an enjoyable stay.

We enjoyed our time in the suite, a few things we noticed. The floor in the ensuite was quite squeaky, the ensuite window could use a clean up ( paint) the wall on the stairway is scuffed up ( no doubt suitcases) and a simple local map of Winchcombe would have been helpful. None of these affected our stay however. Our interactions with the booking folks worked out okay but it seems a little impersonal when all done remotely. I guess that’s just how these things are going now. All in all a good experience and we will recommend it. Dave and Ruth.

Good cottage

Good cottage, second time we have rented it and was still in great condition. TV had no signal and internet is slow but didn’t make much difference over a short stay

Lovely few days in a great location

The cottage was lovely, although we had a problem with the faulty boiler, which couldn’t be fixed while we were there. Estate staff acted promptly when the problem was reported and luckily we had someone with us who could keep re- pressurising it so we at least had hot water. Free entry to the castle is added bonus when staying here.

Delightful and Quirky in the Cotswolds

This was a lovely two-bedroom property on the edge of Winchcombe but within very easy walking distance of everything both the village has to offer and the Sudeley Estate. The reception space is compact and worked perfectly for us as a couple but it would have been quite a squeeze for four adults. It would have been challenging to cook all the time in the small kitchen as there is limited worktop space and no cupboard space for storing groceries - all cupboards were filled with crockery and utensils so well kitted out. No such problem in the two well-sized bedrooms and generous bathrooms. There is building work going on close by which is probably the next generation of holiday rental cottages. I hope they then turn to refurbishing this cottage which is beginning to look a little tired and outdated. Would still happily recommend this wee place as an excellent base for a relaxing holiday in the Cotswolds.

Great Stay

Just back from a 2 day break at the lord high admiral, we had a terrific time and the free entry to the castle was an added bonus and can recommend the food at the nearby white heart pub

Great cottage in fab location

A great cottage in a fab location, in the castle grounds. Access to the castle being included is an added bonus, which we enjoyed. It’s our second visit to the same cottage, and still lovely, although we had problems with the water being cold for the shower, and bath.

A relaxing week

Enjoyed our stay again and visiting the castle a few times. I have stayed in the same cottage many times with my sister and enjoyed it as always, but my only gripe is the poor state of the wooden table and chairs at the front of the property, it was grey and by the look of it has never been painted or cleaned and this is a shame because we couldn't sit outside. Hopefully this will be taken on board before i decide to return.

Lovely cottage, perfect for family

We stayed for a week. Such perfect location for walks and easily access to the town, and wonderful for our little one as we have access to the playground in Sudeley Castle. Cottage is clean and nice. Highly recommended!

Our favourite Xmas break.

Stay here every Xmas,so obviously love it. Winchcombe is such a pretty town! Setting of property is perfect - we love to walk around castle grounds. Just wish property had a dishwasher! Very close to nice pubs and restaurants, and some lovely walks in the area.
