“The Postmaster's Lodging is excellent accommodation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

My friends and I stayed for the first time last year and this time was just as good as we remember it. The flat is spacious and the faciliities modern and well maintained. Winchcombe is a lovely place to stay for a short break and the accommodation is centrally located for all the amenities in the village.

“Lovely apartment meeting all expectations.”

It is set in a great location for shops and pubs whilst providing the perfect base for visiting local and other interests in the area. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Peter September 2023

“This apartment is very spacious and comfortable.”

We had a great break knowing we had everything we needed to dry everything after a wet day walking. We would definitely book this apartment if we visited Winchcombe again.

“A great house, perfect for our family of adults and teens with everyone having their space.”

Fantastic location in the heart of beautiful Winchcombe with everything on the doorstep and lots of attractions within an easy walk or drive. Can only recommend for a relaxing break!

“The property is in a perfect position and spotlessly clean.”

It is very tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. We would assure any potential guests that although on a main road it is vey quiet at night and in the day you do feel part of the community. Parking in the library car park is no problem at all: plenty of spaces and £1 for 24 hours. We’ve been visiting Winchcombe for many years and this is now our favourite place to stay. The bottle of wine was very welcome - thank-you.

Lucy June 2023

“Lovely flat, conveniently situated and wonderfully equipped thank you.”

We would definitely return. We noticed the skylight window leaked in the third bedroom when it's raining unless it is shut. Also no blind when it's open which we guess has to be the case!

- Lucy, June 2023
Fiona November 2022

“We loved this property.”

Welcoming, clean, well decorated, good location (if you don’t want to be in the town don’t go!), and well appointed. The slight inconvenience of the parking is beyond anyone’s control as is the fact that there are early morning deliveries to the shop opposite. Hope to return.

“We had a fantastic week at the Postmaster's Lodging.”

It was very well equipped, and the extra touches were lovely, in particular - wine and biscuits. The kitchen had everything we needed and the soap, toilet rolls and 2 towels each were very much appreciated. The beds were enormous and very comfortable. The owners seemed to have thought of everything. The position of the property was exactly what we were hoping for, lovely places to eat out and also good takeaways as well as the facilities to cook the occasional meal to eat in. The walks were fabulous and the views breathtaking. It's one of the prettiest places we've stayed in. Parking wasn't a problem at all, we parked on the pay and display carpark near the library and then paid online each day (£1 per day). We fully recommend staying in Winchcombe and definitely at the Postmaster's lodging.

- Gillian, October 2022
Sheena October 2022

“This comfortable appartment exceeded our expectaions.”

It was clean, roomy, well equipped and extremely comfortable. It's central position provided us with easy access to the town's many interesting shops and amenities and surprisingly we were undisturbed by any traffic noise despite being on a main road. We would love to make a return visit.

- Sheena, October 2022
Wesley August 2022

“Very comfortable and homely and convenient for town amenities.”

Bedroom options super idea with full flexibility of doubles or twins in all rooms. Parking not ideal but only a short walk away and only £1.25 for 24hours using the app. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to visit Winchcombe.

- Wesley, August 2022
Helen August 2022

“Postmaster's Lodgings was a beautiful property, very well presented with some welcoming touches on our arrival.”

The wine, biscuits and milk were gratefully received. My twin boys did find the smallest bedroom difficult to share, so would have benefitted from the larger bedroom being converted into a twin, but no one realised that all my boys are closer in stature to men than children! I would say it would have been helpful to have some simple instructions to operate the oven as a manual with numerous operating details proved unhelpful when arriving with a hungry family. By the time we left I still didn't understand how on the 2 occasions I'd got the oven on, what it was that had finally brought success! One other thing to bear in mind is that in choosing such a central location in the heart of a popular town, noise levels are to be endured. For this reason only, I would look for a quieter location for future holidays.

- Helen, August 2022
Katharine July 2022

“Accommodation was modern, spotlessly clean, it had everything we needed for our weeks stay.”

A great base for exploring the area. Winchcombe is a quiet village, it has a few pubs, restaurants, a co-op and an excellent chippy. If you like walking /running there are plenty of trails to explore on the doorstep. Just a short drive and you are in Cheltenham or Gloucester. Would definitely go back. Thanks for letting us stay

- Katharine, July 2022
Jane February 2022

“The apartment was lovely and had everything needed for our 3 night stay.”

It was beautifully clean and comfortable and a perfect base for exploring the area. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook the Postmaster’s Lodgings for another getaway in the Cotswolds in the future.

- Jane, February 2022
Sophie January 2022

“A fantastic stay at postmasters lodging.”

It is a really beautiful and comfortable property in a great location.

Jaen January 2022

“THIS PROPERTY IS FIRST CLASS.”

HELEN MADE US FEEL VERY WELCOME (I HOPE WE DIDN'T SOUND TOO GRUMPY AS WE HAD HAD A TERRIBLE JOURNEY) THE ACCOMMODATION WAS EXCELLENT IN EVERY RESPECT. COULDN'T FAULT IT, PITY THE PARKING IS NOT MORE CONVENIENT BUT THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN WAS BUILT BEFORE CARS, AND WE MANAGED, WOULD LOVE TO VISIT AGAIN FOR A LONGER STAY. ( I DON'T OFTEN SAY THAT BECAUSE I LIKE NEW EXPERIENCES)

- Jaen, January 2022
Anna December 2021

“We had a great stay at this lovely accommodation.”

It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and excellent value for money. We would definitely return.

- Anna, December 2021
Chris November 2021

“Lovely stay at the Postmaster's Lodging.”

Comfortable and well equipped and the welcome treats were a nice touch. Great location in the heart of Winchcombe which is a lovely quiet spot, but has a good selection of pubs, restaurants and shops and is a good base for walking and exploring the cotswolds.

- Chris, November 2021
Trevor October 2021

“The Postmasters lodging was great.”

Excellant location, comfortable & well equiped. Having three super kingsize beds was perfect for us. The parking was a short walk away & if you use the Ringo App very easy to pay the £1.20 daily charge & extend it. We never used the car during our stay as plenty to do for the 3 days with steam train to Cheltenham, 8 mile walk taking in Roman mosaic, ancient long barrow & disused water Mill. Very comfortable for relaxing & catching up with friends.

- Trevor, October 2021
Ann September 2021

“A very spacious, nicely decorated, well equipped and comfortable holiday cottage which I can highly recommend.”

- Ann, September 2021
Andrew September 2021

“Superb location for exploring the coltswolds, the accommodation was super clean, extremely comfortable, very well equipped, local restaurants/pubs of a high standard, Have no hesitation in recommending the property and location.”

- Andrew, September 2021
Julie August 2021

“The accommodation is superb.”

Beautifully clean, well appointed & centrally located. Helen was welcoming & left us wine, milk & biscuits which was a nice touch. Although we didn't encounter any problems, I feel sure from her welcoming e:mail that she would have responded quickly if we had needed anything. We would love to go back. I could definitely recommend.

- Julie, August 2021
Alethea August 2021

“Fantastic location and facilities.”

Winchcombe made us very welcome. Our stay was made even better with having all amenities on the doorstep. Easy access to neighbouring villages. Helen is a wonderful host. Highly recommend this property and area - beautiful

- Alethea, August 2021
Elizabeth July 2021

“The apartment was extremely comfortable and suited us well.”

It was great to have a bottle of wine and biscuits waiting for us when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable. Good central location in Winchcombe, which is a characterful town with interesting shops and well placed for walking and for visiting Cheltenham.

- Elizabeth, July 2021
Sharron July 2021

“Great high standard accommodation with everything you need.”

- Sharron, July 2021

Gisela June 2021

“Postmasters Lodging is ideally located in the centre of Winchcombe.”

The shop opposite was handy for daily supplies and there’s lots of good pubs for eating out. - we tried nearly all of them and were never disappointed. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. It suited us (two couples) perfectly. We had hot sunny weather and spent all day walking. Each morning we closed the blinds and returned each afternoon to cool rooms. It would have been very warm if the sun shone in all day. We had a great holiday there.

- Gisela, June 2021
Deborah October 2020

“Highly recommended.”

Very comfortable apartment, good size too. Well equipped kitchen, we cooked a couple of meals and had everything we needed. We were left fresh milk, biscuits and wine which was very much appreciated. The parking wasn't a problem, Winchcombe has a large car park and the day we left we briefly stopped outside the house to load the car.

- Deborah, October 2020
Bryony October 2020

“Just returned from a lovely stay in Winchcombe.”

The accomodation is modern, spacious and very comfortable would highly recommend.

- Bryony, October 2020
Matthew August 2020

“A lovely stay at the Postmaster's Lodging in Winchcombe - the flat was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed facilities-wise - it really felt like a home from home and that someone had taken time and trouble to make sure we had everything we needed.”

Being centrally located meant everything we needed was on the doorstep, as well as plenty of beautiful countryside a short walk away - parking was close by and there was always plenty of space. We really enjoyed our week and would recommend it to anyone looking for family-sized accommodation in the Cotswolds.

- Matthew, August 2020
Elaine August 2020

“The accommodation was spotlessly clean upon our arrival and more than met all our needs during our seven night stay.”

The living area is both spacious, light and airy. The kitchen is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. All three bedrooms had been made up as doubles as we had requested. During our week in Winchcombe we were blessed with some of the hottest weather of the year. The master bedroom did become unbearably hot during this period but the owner Helen was quick off the mark in providing a cooling fan upon request. 10 out of 10.

- Elaine, August 2020
Lindsay March 2020

“We arrived for cheltenham gold cup and had travelled 3 hours.”

We had been left milk and tea and coffee in the pots. Which was well needed! Beautiful place. And beautiful apartment. Clean with everything you need. Loved it. Would definitely go back

- Lindsay, March 2020
Heather February 2020

“We loved the apartment and found everything we needed had been provided.”

The beds were amazing, so comfortable and lovely bedding.

- Heather, February 2020
Donna January 2020

“The location was perfect.”

The lodge was decorated and furnished to a high standard. It was spacious and there was plenty of room for 6 guests. We all felt very relaxed and comfortable. We hope to return.

- Donna, January 2020
David January 2020

“This property is exceptional.”

Whilst keeping its characteristic form it is modern and clinical. Winchcombe itself is a beautiful town with quirky shops and lots of eateries. We were there for races in Cheltenham and it was within touching distance. The owner Helen sent us a lovely message and made sure our needs for the kids were met even though we hadn't asked.. shes done a fantastic job and I wish her all the success with this venture as she thoroughly deserves it. Definitely would go back.

- David, January 2020
Gillian September 2019

“Wonderful location, spacious and sparkling clean.”

The owner was extremely gracious and helpful and wanted our stay to be a warm, memorable experience experience, which it was.

- Gillian, September 2019
Leigh August 2019

“Postmasters Lodging was a delight.”

It is tastefully decorated to a high standard, well equipped and ideally located. We could not have asked for more. Winchcombe is a lovely town with many amenities and is a great base to explore the Cotswolds. Top marks all round.

- Leigh, August 2019
Terry June 2019

“Excellent position in a lovely Cotswold village.”

The cottage was very nicely converted and to a high standard. Parking was very limited in town but a large car park just 4 minutes walk away for just £1 made things easy..Food shopping directly opposite, and several good pubs/ restaurants nearby

- Terry, June 2019
Clare June 2019

“We were met by the owner (as she saw us coming to the property) and she spent time showing us around the apartment and how everything worked.”

The property was immaculate, the beds were extremely comfortable, location perfect and we had a wonderful stay.

- Clare, June 2019

“Great weekend in this lovely spot; it manages high standards with lots of character.”

Situated in the centre of this attractive little town, lively by day, quiet at night.

- Colin, May 2019
Mary May 2019

“The property was everything we hoped it would be, extremely well equipped, comfortable beds and excellent showers.”

The views from the windows at the back of the house are stunning. Winchcombe is a delightful town, it feels unspoilt by tourism yet there are plenty of good restaurants and the parking is so easy. Even though the parking payment machines were out of order and parking was free, there were plenty of spaces in the library car park, a mere 4 minute walk from the Postmasters Lodging. We were able to pull up right outside the property to unpack and pack our luggage. The Coop and Deli opposite we’re able to supply everything we needed on the occasions we cooked in the immaculate kitchen. We have already recommended this property to several of our friends.

“Lovely, personal welcome from the owners, nice thoughtful touches to make our stay really relaxing and enjoyable.”

Tina March 2019

“We were a group of 6 ladies.”

The location was excellent and the apartment was stunning. An amazing nights sleep. The only tiny criticism we had would definately benefit from an extra chair in the living area and a dishwasher.

- Tina, March 2019
Suzanna February 2019

“Fabulous cottage, really well equipped, a few little things missing for those who want to cook, such as a casserole dish and large serving spoons.”

The amazing oven was difficult to suss out, only to find the manual in the bottom draw!! Beds really comfy and bed linen lovely and soft and the view from the back bedrooms is amazing. Location is wonderful, with lots of walks, pubs and a few little shops to mooch around. For those who like a lie in, don't sleep in the front bedroom! Woken by the paper deliveries at 4ish and food deliveries at 730! We will be back as loved it.

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.
