Stunning Grade II listed cottage on Vineyard Street in the heart of Winchcombe.

Winchcombe Festival of Christmas on 6th/7th December and Sudeley Castle Spectacle of Light. Come and Grab a Festive Pre-Christmas Mini Break in the heart of the Cotswolds. New Year Get Away available too!
A warm welcome awaits you at The Feathered Nest in the heart of Winchcombe. Home to Sudeley Castle and the Winchcombe meteorite as well as perfectly located to explore the many beautiful Cotswold villages. Fairy Lights above the door and fireplace, a full box of logs and a Christmas wreath on the door all await you from November.

Guests often say how delighted they are to have discovered Winchcombe as it’s less busy compared to some of the more well known Cotswold Villages but still with all the charm & in a fantastic location for walking or sightseeing the region.

As a local resident and private host I take the utmost pride in our holiday cottage and love nothing more than ensuring our guests have the best possible holiday they can.
I live locally and am on hand to offer advice whether this is on places to visit, restaurants to book or bring you some more logs for the fire.

This enchanting 18th Century cottage cannot fail to impress the discerning guest. The property has been sympathetically restored with the highest standard of fixtures and fittings as you would come to expect from our previous cottage - The Vine. Everything has been thought of to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Providing an exceptional guest experience is very important to us therefore we do not add any hidden extra's to the cost. No local tax or additional person charge. What you see is what you pay.
Situated in the heart of the Anglo-Saxon town of Winchcombe you are only a stone's throw from the magnificent Sudeley Castle Esate.

N.B. For Stays during the winter months you will receive a free basket of logs and enjoy festive touches such as Fairy Lights, Wreath and Foliage over the FirePlace.

As you enter the cottage you walk into the flagstoned floor sitting room with large inglenook fireplace and log burning stove. Up two steps you walk into the brand new kitchen with four ring induction hob and electric oven, fridge freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, slimline dishwasher and washing machine. Towards the back of the kitchen is a pretty recess area for dining with upholstered bench seating and dining table. To your right is the luxurious bathroom with Bath Store bath, separate shower enclosure with rain shower head, WC and sink. From the back door you climb three steps into the sunny garden terrace complete with patio furniture. A perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while the sun sets over the town.
Upstairs is the first floor bedroom with king size John Lewis bed, a wardrobe and recessed shelving complete with lined storage baskets. Bespoke light fittings complement the warm interior. The White Company bed linen and large fluffy White Company Bath Sheets & hand towels are provided for your comfort.
From this bedroom a narrow staircase leads up to the second floor bedroom which has two full size single beds and a pretty dressing table. Under bed storage is also provided.
The property is centrally heated with a brand new cast iron radiators throughout.
Please note that this property is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties due to the number of steps at the property and the twisting narrow staircase. The property was built around 1800 and has many period features.
We provide many home comforts to make packing as easy as possible. There is a hairdryer, electric fan, iron and ironing board & clothes airer provided.
Tea and coffee making facilities are also provided for your comfort.
Winchcombe itself is a delightful small town with a fascinating past stretching back as far as the Saxon era. With the beautiful Sudeley Castle set in a breathtaking 1,200 acre estate on our doorstep and a wealth of National Trust properties locally, Winchcombe cannot fail but impress. Winchcombe also hit the headlines earlier this year when the meteorite landed on a neighbouring property.
Cheltenham is a mere 8 miles away with its impressive array of festivals from Jazz to Literature, Science to Music. For horse racing fans Cheltenham racecourse is a short drive away and during the racing fixtures, there is a wonderful buzz around town as Winchcombe welcomes many more visitors to the town.
Whatever season you visit Winchcombe you will be warmly welcomed by the local pubs and restaurants which are all extraordinarily good.
Further afield you are fantastically located to visit some of the most popular Cotswold towns such as Broadway, Stow-in-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water or even Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon.
I can assure you after a mini-break at The Feathered Nest you really won't want to leave.

Ideal location in Winchcombe
I stayed in this property with my family for a week. The location in Winchcombe is perfect, easy walking distance to all shops , restaurants and local attractions and also ideally situated as a starting point to a wide variety of countryside walks both short and long. The cottage is well equipped and has a lovely seating area at the rear which catches the sun in the afternoon. Although there is no reserved parking we had no problem parking directly outside the property for the duration of our stay and there is plenty of alternative parking close by. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property for a stay in the Cotswolds.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay in Winchcombe. Loved the combination of the feel of being in a cottage with a lot of history with modern day comforts of a well equipped kitchen and beautiful bathroom with an amazing shower. The outside space was perfect ....a real suntrap and great place to relax after a long walk. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to family and friends.

Lovely property, great location
We throughly enjoyed our 10 day stay at this cosy cottage. Thoughtfully renovated to a very high standard and very well equipped. The bonus for us was the outside space which enabled us to take full advantage of some unexpected, but glorious, April weather. Winchcombe is a delightful little town with several pubs, restaurants and independent shops - as well as a castle at the end of the road! Perfectly situated also for visiting all of the "must-see" places in the Cotswolds.

Exactly as we expected my family loved this property right in the heart of stunning Winchcombe.
It had everything we needed and the lovely xmas touches made our stay even more special. The stair cases are very narrow and it was s challenge to get our cases up to the top floor so we didnt in the end. No idea how the furniture made it up there lol. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and wash clothes and the kitchen nook made a lovely extra space for my family to spread out. Thoroughly recommend this fabulous property on this historic village

Lovely place!
This place was absolutely charming and comfortable for our family of four! We had enough room to spread out, cook meals, and sleep peacefully. The beds were comfortable, the space is cozy, light, and bright. Great location- it was an easy walk to Sudeley Castle and into town, which has a handful of restaurants, markets, and shops. We also hiked to Belas Knapp. Easy drive to other Cotswolds towns, but also accessible to other areas further out. Amanda was attentive and easy to reach, the place was well-appointed with everything we needed for a great stay. Loved being here!

Delightful Winchcombe
The cottage is centered in Winchcombe making everything very accesible. The cottage has been updated with a modern kitchen and bathroom and is very lovingly decorated. The bed is large but a bit soft and the toilet is on the ground floor, whereas the bedroom is upstairs, but one gets used to it quickly and the cottage's location makes up for any minor inconveniences. There is no microwave, but the stove is easy to use and conveniently located. The cottage is well lit and comfortable. We would return to it should we return to Winchcombe.

Great place!
This was a great place to stay. We loved the 18th Century parts of this property and really appreciated the modern parts too! Amanda was great with communication before our trip, but was pretty silent once we arrived. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The towels and shower were great. We loved eating out on the patio. We were within easy walking distance of Sudeley Castle, the bus stop, grocery stores, and restaurants. And the people were so friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at the Feathered Nest!

Characterful cottage in a great location
A lovely old cottage well-equipped with modern facilities. Free parking on the quiet road outside, shops and restaurants close by. We walked down the lane to Sudeley Castle which is well worth a visit. On another day we took a slightly longer walk up to the heritage railway station at Greet and went on a steam train to Broadway. Overall we had the most relaxing few days we've had for a long time and would happily stay again.
