Mouse Hole Cottage in Cheltenham is highly praised for its charm, spaciousness, and prime location. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and the thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts. While some suggest updates, especially to the showers, the overall sentiment is one of satisfaction, with many guests returning for multiple stays.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as warm, clean, and well-presented. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive guest experience.
The location is consistently lauded for being excellent, with easy access to local shops, pubs, and historic sites like Sudeley Castle. Its centrality in Winchcombe makes it an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds accommodating. Some guests mention the furniture could be updated for additional comfort, but overall, the cottage is seen as a comfortable retreat.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and powerful showers. However, several reviews suggest that the upstairs shower and some amenities could benefit from modernisation, which affects the score slightly.
Guests frequently mention and appreciate the thoughtful welcome gifts, such as wine and biscuits. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such extras, though delightful, are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
This 17th century stone cottage is situated in the Saxon town of Winchcombe in the heart of the Cotswolds. This traditional, country-style property is bursting at the seams with character, from the exposed wooden beams and sloped ceilings, to the thoughtful detailing in the décor, providing delightful accommodation ideal for families or friends seeking something a bit different. On the ground floor, the kitchen is well-equipped, sporting a quality design with cream units, wooden worktops and everything you would require to prepare a delicious home-cooked meal, to be enjoyed in the charming dining room next door. You can relax in the sitting room, enjoying the warmth of the woodburner on a chilly evening, and during the summer months, the elegant sun room is a wonderful place to gather your thoughts, overlooking the patio at the rear of the house, creating harmony with the outdoors. Climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find the three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The enclosed patio enjoys a great deal of sunshine throughout the day and makes a pleasant area to sit with an evening drink before heading out to sample one of the many pubs and restaurants in the town. Take a stroll around Winchcombe town centre which is steeped in history in an AONB, with many individual shops selling art, crafts and local specialist food. Spend a day at Sudeley Castle, Cotswold Farm Park, home to Adam Henson from Countryfile or one of the numerous National Trust properties in the area. This charm-filled cottage is ideally located for a memorable holiday at any time of year.
The town of Winchcombe lies above the River Isbourne, midway between Cheltenham and Broadway. Visitors can sample an array of local produce in the town's restaurants, wine bars, tea shops and deli's, or stroll around the range of local shops, all located along the three main streets. The town also plays host to music and arts festivals, country shows and farmers’ markets. Guided walks around the town are on offer throughout the summer months, while Winchcombe lies on the intersection of the Cotswold Way, Gloucestershire Way, Warden's Way and Windrush Way, providing ample walking to suit all abilities.
