“A wonderful gem in beautiful countryside”

- Mrs Hackett, September 2021
Mrs Verrall August 2021

“The town of Winchcombe is a wonderful place to stay.”

It is really picturesque and has all the facilities you would need close at hand.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and the surroundings. Owner relations
Ms Gata-aura July 2021

“See reference 988596 Very disappointed with customer service relating to our concern raised.”

It is important that you are aware that this cottage is not suitable for people 6 foot and over as the beams are very low. We are also extremely disappointed in the approach and response that Sykes returned to us regarding the misleading photos that they have published if the cottage. The sitting room area does not look like what is on the website and we shared the photos with this company but they failed to acknowledge that there is a clear difference in our photos and their photos. Putting a one seater sofa in front of the front room windows displayed a by far greater sitting room area which looked more spacious and the reason why we booked in the first place. Upon arrival, we had a three seater sofa which replaced the one seater sofa. All of this tiny detail has lead to a much fabricated image of what was displayed and sadly Sykes have refused to acknowledge any of our feedback. We are active on social media and will be sharing our reviews on you tube, Facebook and Instagram.

- Ms Gata-aura, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are very sorry that you had some issues while your stay, I made sure your concerns were sent to the Owner and will come back to you after his reply. Owner relations

- Mrs Willis, September 2020
Mr Higgins September 2020

“The cottage was in excellent condition fully equipped and very clean.”

Its position both for the local pubs, restaurants and shops of Winchcombe plus Cotswold touring was very good. Car parking permit very useful.

Mrs Pickett February 2020

“Brilliant location with access to the lovely town of Winchcombe.”

Cosy and warm with modern comforts and period charms. We did not miss the garden as you could walk straight into the town and countryside. Car park if needed, was within 100 yards across the road. Paul and June were extremely helpful and accommodating making us feel really at ease.

- Mrs Pickett, February 2020
Mr Jacob February 2020

“Everything was first rate.”

Could not fault anything about the experience. A genuine pleasure to stay there

- Mr Jacob, February 2020
Ms Cornwell October 2019

“We were advised by Manor Cottages that there would be on street or off street parking available for the second couples car.”

However all areas around the cottage are either double yellow lines or limited times. And the area had a very active traffic warden. We did find alternate parking on back lane car park but this had to be paid for each day, which we thought was a very reasonable price and 5 mins from cottage. Loved the cottage and its facilities owners contact and attention to detail was brilliant. For us it could have only been better with two things... 1 outside space for the dogs comfort breaks (but we managed fine with lead walks early and late felt very safe in the area). 2 permit for second vehicle as we were two couples from different areas. Also the lounge is cosy, but we found it fine. The kitchen and en-suites are great and the finishing touches of oil, milk, butter, salt, pepper, ketchup. shampoo and shower gel, robes and slippers etc were a lovely bonus. The towels and linen were also great quality.

- Ms Cornwell, October 2019

Many apologies for the miscommunication on the parking in the area. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay in the cottage. Owner relations
Mr Crow September 2019

“Cute well equipped cottage.”

Literally in the centre of the village with all the shops and pubs on your doorstep. Very well equipped with everything you need for a week. Would highly recommend.

- Mr Crow, September 2019
Miss Jose September 2019

“Lovely cottage really well situated in a lovely location.”

- Miss Jose, September 2019
Mrs Lenthall September 2019

“Mad mollys cottage was beautiful and also in a beautiful location, it was also very central for visiting other places like the picturesque Bourton on the water.”

We would definitely go back again for another visit.

- Mrs Lenthall, September 2019
Mr Heard August 2019

“Fab cottage, well appointed in brilliant position.”

- Mr Heard, August 2019
Mr Barnes August 2019

“Very well equipped comfortable cottage with every need catered for.”

We ate out in the evenings and found the local eateries first class. Reading the visitors book all guests rated the cottage and their stay.

- Mr Barnes, August 2019
Mr Davies June 2019

“The property was ideally located.”

The town was just a joy. We loved everything about our stay. Thank you very much.

- Mr Davies, June 2019
Ms Elbourne June 2019

“We had a fantastic stay at Mad Molly’s Cottage, the cottage was beautiful with fantastic facilities, a real home away from home.”

The kitchen was fantastic with lovely touches such as freshly made bread and milk waiting for us. The location was brilliant, a stones throw away from lovely pubs, cafes and gorgeous countryside. The holiday was effortless with keys easily accessible and returned and everything as described. We would highly recommend.

- Ms Elbourne, June 2019
Mr Livsey May 2019

“On balance - met expectations, but we are "learner" dog owners and with hindsight we would have chosen somewhere larger with a closed garden and no direct door to road - not really sure this is a "dog-friendly" property.”

However, homely, excellent kitchen facilities, comfortable beds and furniture, superb location, also grateful for food essentials on arrival

- Mr Livsey, May 2019
Ms Fraser April 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mad Molly’s.”

The cottage is comfortable and cosy; everything is of the highest quality and the little touches - artwork, decoration, mirrors etc added to the ambience. The beds were sumptuous and shower rooms luxurious. The location is excellent location; so handy to have shops, pubs and restaurants at the top of the lane. Would highly recommend a stay a Mad Molly’s

- Ms Fraser, April 2019
Ms Strange December 2018

“Cottage is lovely, central location and Winchcombe is such a nice place - we spent a lot of time at the Lion Inn!”

As this is a dog friendly cottage it should be clearer on the listing there is no enclosed garden to turf them out in the mornings for a wee.. There was a lovely welcome pack of milk wine,beers, mince pies, bread, butter - a dishwasher tablet or 2 would have been a nice touch - as we had to buy a whole box. The lounge is quite small for 4 adults - not a problem in Summer months I suppose but was a bit too cosy during Winter evenings. We appreciated there being wood for making up the fire. Bedrooms were lovely and spacious and lots of nice touches.

- Ms Strange, December 2018
Mr and Mrs G.

“We feel very privileged to be the first people (+ dog) to stay in Mad Molly's Cottage.”

A cosy, gorgeous cottage with all you could need. Paul and June were fabulous - full of helpful advice about the area. Thanks for everything - we will be back!

Mr and Mrs F.

“What a beautiful cottage!”

Location perfect, close to the village centre, shops, pubs. The facilities in the cottage are 5 star with all needs catered for. Nice touches by the owners made us feel so welcome -real fire, food and fresh flowers. We love Winchcombe and will be back this summer to Mad Moly's!!

“Lovely property, only issue was the master bed was so squeaky that if you even moved it woke the other person up, which was a shame because the room was lovely.”

- Atkins,
Ross

“Cottage was great.”

Wondered if there might be a way to call attention to the two steps leading into kitchen, slightly dangerous because they are so unexpected. It was pretty noisy on bull's lane with people walking back and forth from pub, but I'm not sure there is anything to be done about that. Good water pressure, great showers, nice kitchen amenities (coffee maker and milk steamer ).

“Lovely cottage, very good use of space.”

Nicely appointed. Only thing missing was some outdoor space.

The property

Mad Molly's is as unique in name as it is unique in style.

Tucked down a little lane and within seconds of some superb restaurants and bars, this cute cottage is the epitome of all things romantic and relaxing.

Walking devotees will adore it here, the paths offer some of the best views available in the Cotswolds, while historians can lap up the stories of old in Sudeley Castle and if you love browsing antiques then Winchcombe will not disappoint.

Inside Mad Molly's, the owners have pulled together a stylish bolt hole with luxury at its heart.

The kitchen is handmade and is bursting with gadgets to make cooking a true pleasure.

Upstairs are two bedrooms with stunning bathrooms all with quirky touches aplenty, many from local crafts people, like the slipper bath that hides in the corner of the master bedroom.

Whether you're a couple, pair of couples or a family we think this is an exceptional choice.Mad Molly's brother cottage 'Grumpy Goose' is next door so you could book them both together if dates are available.

About the location

WINCHCOMBE

Cheltenham 8 miles; Broadway 9 miles; Gloucester 17 miles.

The bustling Fairtrade town of Winchcombe, a conservation site, lies above the River Isbourne, midway between Cheltenham and Broadway. Visitors can sample a mouthwatering array of local produce in the town's restaurants, wine bars, tea shops and deli's, or stroll around the eclectic range of local shops, all located along the three main streets, which remain full of character with their honey coloured stone and timbered exterior. 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. The quintessential English village of Broadway is just a short drive away and offers individual shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and hotels, including the world-renowned Lygon Arms, popular for centuries and now offering spa facilities. The regency spa town of Cheltenham boasts beautiful Georgian architecture and a delightful range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, including the famous racecourse. Many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages lie to the east, whilst to the west is the waterfront city of Gloucester and the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean. The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath, Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick, with its magnificent castle, are all within an hour’s drive.
