“A really lovely cottage, very quiet and cosy.”

Set in an ideal central location, perfect for amenities and discovering the beautiful Cotswolds.

Set in an ideal central location, perfect for amenities and discovering the beautiful Cotswolds.

- Mr Hobart, October 2021
Mrs Staniforth August 2021

“The Old Sorting Office is a comfortable, well equipped property in the centre of the village, with all the facilities we needed within a couple of minutes walk.”

We had some good long walks in the surrounding countryside, and on a couple of days got to come home on the steam railway to save our legs. The cottage is a really good, well thought-out conversion, with a small enclosed courtyard garden (shared with the postmasters lodging, but we had it to ourselves most evenings). Helen sent us all the details we needed before we arrived, and had supplied wine and biscuits for the humans and dog treats for Daisy the collie. Definitely considering booking again for next year

Mr Smith July 2021

“A fantastic property in a stunning location, right in the middle of Winchcombe, with a lovely peaceful garden at the rear.”

Helen (the owner - a lovely lady) made us feel so welcome, she had ensured that everything we could possibly need was ready for us and she was on hand if we needed her for any questions or queries. We will definitely be back!

Mr Ross July 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

Well located. Nicely decorated

- Mr Ross, July 2021
Mrs Hewson June 2021

“Just returned from spending a week in the old sorting office, the pictures do not do it justice, it is spotless, very well equipped and situated in an ideal position to explore the area.”

Winchcombe is lovely, with plenty of pubs serving great quality food, and a chippy serving lovely fish and chips. Places well worth a visit, Broadway, stow, Stan way and bourbon on the water..

- Mrs Hewson, June 2021
Mr Harston May 2021

“This is a great property for a relaxed get away.”

It is a great location right in the centre of the town so all amenities are nearby. It is modern and very comfortable. The host is great as well and answered all questions we had very promptly.

- Mr Harston, May 2021
Mrs Dolan May 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage.”

Spotlessly clean and the bathroom is superb especially for anyone with limited mobility. The settee and chair were very comfortable, as was the bed, kitchen well equipped. Ideally placed for touring the Cotswolds and a good retreat to come back to after a busy day. Some nice little shops in Winchcombe and very friendly locals. We do have a very nosy young cockapoo who made his way to the coded access system door leading to the main road every time he was let out into the garden so consequently we had to keep him on a lead in the garden, perhaps a little gate near the shed would be of benefit. Would highly recommend this cottage.

- Mrs Dolan, May 2021
Mr Barnard May 2021

“We would highly recommend this accomodation to anyone.”

.A cosy cottage for two. Beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything you need. The owners are on hand in the [unlikely] event of problems Winchcombe is the perfect base for touring the Cotswolds The holiday exceeded our expectations in every way and we look forward to a return visit

- Mr Barnard, May 2021
Mrs Manser May 2021

“Really clean well equipped cottage -fantastic base situated in a quiet street ...”

Really clean well equipped cottage -fantastic base situated in a quiet street off the main quaint high street -for many walks all around the area with stunning views -private garden but entrance shared by other people so not entirely secure for dog -but would definitely stay here again

- Mrs Manser, May 2021
Mr Holland April 2021

“Very nice compact home, perfect for a short break, would recommend packing light as it is very compact.”

Softer beds and more comfortable furniture would be recommened, bigger sofas, smaller dining room chairs (the frames take up half the kitchen), and more comfortable garden furniture would all be bonuses. Confusion on the garden, is it fully enclosed or is it a shared garden. With a dog that can escape the exit to the main road is the responsibility of multiple residents so either a small gate on the apartments actual garden, or "shared" garden notice on the website is essential. Overall recommended for short stays in the area, very clean, has everything you need and in a great location.

- Mr Holland, April 2021
Mrs Drew September 2020

“The Old Sorting Office is a delightful cottage, beautifully decorated and equipped to a high standard.”

Charming little garden and very comfortable in every way. It was exceptionally well cleaned and we felt confident staying there at this time. Ideally situated in the town centre with shops, pubs and restaurants within a very short walk and of course the wonderful Cotswold countryside all around. Only slight disadvantage was having to park about 7 minutes walk away, but there is 1 hour limited parking just opposite for dropping off luggage, so it was only an issue in the rain! Very highly recommended.

- Mrs Drew, September 2020
Mr Franks September 2020

“We loved this place great for dog walkers”

- Mr Franks, September 2020
Mr Harris August 2020

“Everything about this cottage was excellent.”

The location was good for travelling to different places. Just wish there had been some tourist leaflets in the cottage for information about places to visit instead of having to trawl the internet.

- Mr Harris, August 2020
Mrs Douglas August 2020

“Perfect location in the centre of everything but very peaceful in the garden and property.”

Very clean and cozy bed.

- Mrs Douglas, August 2020
Mrs Birch August 2020

“A really lovely and much needed break in a beautiful property in Winchcombe.”

The details given to let ourselves in were easy to follow and caused no issues. We were left a bottle of wine and some biscuits which was a lovely touch. We will be back, thank you!

- Mrs Birch, August 2020

Mrs Hughes September 2019

“This is an exceptional holiday cottage.”

With everything you could ever need. Everything is of a very high quality. It is so well designed. They have thought of everything. Lighting inside and out very well thought out. There are an amazing amount of power sockets, some with usb points in them. Garden lovely with patio doors opening out on it. There's a good quality "hound" dog bed with blanket and 2 bowls. They also leave some dog biscuits a nice touch. We just loved it here. Toby our dog loved it too, he just settled straight away. I can honestly say The BEST cottage. Will hopefully be back to stay next year. Thank you Helen and Robert for getting it so very right. Oz, Gwyneth and Toby

Mr Glover July 2019

“Great location and the cottage was beyond expectations.”

- Mr Glover, July 2019
Mrs Thomas July 2019

“The cottage was absolutely fabulous!”

We have stayed in many cottages but usually opted for a slightly larger property and were a little worried about choosing a one bedroom Cottage in this instance but we needn’t have worried as it certainly exceeded our expectations. The cottage was scrupulously clean and well equipped and there was even a welcome treat box for our Schnauzer. He disregarded his basket and opted for the new luxury one provided! Helen and her husband were most welcoming hosts and ,to my delight , owned a fabulous jewellery shop next door ! We hope to return on many occasions and cannot recommend the property highly enough.

- Mrs Thomas, July 2019
Mr Aroksalasch-schmid June 2019

“Very friendly welcome.”

Cosy warm, very comfortable and well fitted cottage with everything we need during our holidays. Pretty sunny garden. Perfect setting, quite and tranquille but admist all amenities of Winchcombe town centre with supermarket opposite, bakery, chinese take away bars and restaurants all within two hundred yards. Helen was very helpful and friendly, providing us with all information we needed before and during our stay. Ideal for touring the Cotswolds, with national trust and english heritage propertys, several theatres, cinemas, Stratford, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Oxford and Gloucester and further nice little towns and villages nearby. There ist plenty to see and to do.

- Mr Aroksalasch-schmid, June 2019
Mrs Horner May 2019

“This cottage is in an excellent location for walking and National Trust properties.”

Although on one level, it feels very spacious and has the added bonus of private outside terrace where one can eat out. The owner lives nearby and is very helpful recommending places to visit and answering any queries. We would recommend this property to anyone considering a short or long break in the beautiful Cotswolds.

- Mrs Horner, May 2019
Mr D'Cruz April 2019

“Helen and Robert provided us with lots of good information prior to our arrival and also checked with us during our stay whether we had everything we needed or wanted anything.”

It's important to have a good property but it's also important to have owners who show they care about your holiday. All amenities that you would want are on the property and it is in a great location for food and drink with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. There may not be a parking space directly attached to the property but there are plenty of safe places to park your car within a minute or two's walk. Highly recommended.

- Mr D'Cruz, April 2019
Miss Davis April 2019

“This cottage was in a perfect location, right on a street where all the shops were and a lovely pub.”

Even though it was on the street once inside you could not hear the road at all very peaceful. It had everything we required. It was very bright inside and very comfortable.

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.
