The cottage was lovely and provided what was needed the level of detail provided ahead of arrival was excellent, best I've seen.
The area of disappointment was the outside space which was seriously neglected. The courtyard style space should have been excellent, plenty of seating and a BBQ. But, weeds thistles etc are thriving, to the extent that I had to crush underfoot some very tall spikey weeds by the back door step to prevent being scratched coming in and out. These weeds cover all the paths & gravel areas front and back have not been kept under control for a very long time. This isn't a couple of weeks of growth. Consequently it rather overshadowed how I thought of the place, the more I looked the more I saw. The area for parking was in a dreadful condition. There is an abandoned car which is so neglected the weeds are halfway up the sides of the car! Really lets the whole place down.

Overall location was great, peaceful and quiet. Needs improvement on pest control related to spider web at the doors and windows inside and out and ants in the kitchen.

We enjoyed our stay despite the weather. Top marks for cleanliness. Pretty well equipped. Most things worked but shower head needed replaced and toaster threw the electrics on the final morning. There were four of us and an eight month old and it was tight on room upstairs. I would say better for two or three people. Being picky, a few baking trays and salad bowl would have helped. Easy access to car at the rear which was really handy. We stayed here over 20 years ago and the cottages have been well maintained and updated on the whole but the setting and surroundings are now tatty compared to what they were and could do with a good gardener. Same to be said for Sudeley castle. We were so looking forward to visiting the castle and gardens and what a disappointment. The castle gardens were tatty and overgrown , odd looking elephants made from wood scattered throughout and bizarre civil war exhibition which seemed aimed at school trips. We wouldn’t visit the gardens again. There are plenty of beautiful gardens relatively close by. To end on a positive note, the White Hart really close to the cottages up castle street was great for Sunday lunch and fish and chips. Book though they get busy.

Queen Mary cottage was perfect for our family holiday with the rest of our party staying at Anne Boleyn cottage next door. A lovely welcome of tea, coffee, biscuits and the all important pint of milk. Well equipped although we could have done with a stairgate for the dog but we improvised with the clothes airer. Nice big courtyard for BBQs and some lovely dog walks straight from the front door. We all enjoyed visiting the castle too.

This is an ideal base for a visit to this beautiful part of the country. The cottage is very cosy, with everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. Slight downside is that the wifi is a little temperamental - ok for day to day use, but didn't make it easy to watch Netflix etc! Small price to pay for such lovely accommodation.

Winchcombe is a lovely town, with many independent stores and plenty of good restaurants/pubs/cafes to visit.
It is a short stroll across the fields to reach Sudeley Castle (although if it is wet, a walk through Winchcombe to get to the castle is not that much longer!), which is definitely worth a visit. The castle and grounds are superb, and the exhibitions are very informative.

The Cotswolds can get very busy in Summer, but at this time of year we didn't have any trouble parking in the tourist hot spots, and the weather was very pleasant to wander round.

A well enjoyed rest - hopefully we will be back

A few months ago we stayed in the same cottage and everything was dirty even down to blood on sheet, seid I would never go back but needs must so had to return to see a friend, the cottage was spot less. I run a business ,the management at Sudeley Castle instead of sitting on there back sides need to get out there and check what is going on, because management that cares get staff that care.

The cottage was lovely and very easy to live in, the double bed is a little small but ok. Garden bigger than expected. Lots of very nice walks and dog friendly places to go.
We enjoyed our visit to the castle which was very interesting and informative. A pity you are unable to walk the dogs in the gardens but understand why not.
We would return but to a larger cottage.

Beautifully clean and well furnished, with please outside seating and thoughtful extras such as a welcome pack of biscuits, milk, etc.
Some minor decorative issues (bathroom windowsill, for example) and small oversights (such as flashlight batteries being flat).
The wifi was pathetic and we were not convinced the router was switched on.

Overall an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

The property was very clean and very well equipped with everything one could need for a visit. I was particularly impressed by the little touches such as providing milk for the first night plus a supply of tea, coffee and sugar. Everything was very comfortable and there was plenty of information for our stay about the property and the area. I only have two complaints. One was that the back door needs replacing. It was ill-fitting and on one particularly windy day the draught was unbelievable. Secondly the lighting in the kitchen and the lounge was over the top. The ceiling lights were exceedingly bright giving the impression of a hospital operating theatre! It was all or nothing. The lamps in the living room were OK if watching television but not enough if reading so we had to use the ceiling lights. It may have conformed to Health and Safety but killed any atmosphere. However, despite these complaints we had a very enjoyable stay.

What a beautiful group of cottages you have! In a perfect position if you want to park the car for the weekend, pubs restaurants and small shops literally 4 minute walk away. Beautifully situated for walking the countryside or if you want to see more of the Cotswolds you're right in amongst it. A well equipped cottage with extra touch of tea coffee, etc, along with fresh milk! If I had to be critical, the double bed is a little hard, but no way can it suit everyone. A hiccup with the shower, but the maintenance were soon there to solve it! A lovely weekend break! 100% we will be back!

Have stayed at this cottage on the Sudeley Castle estate many times before. It’s an excellent location for exploring the Cotswolds, and such a pretty village.
The real Christmas tree was a lovely touch.
Excellent walking routes nearby.

Great little spot for exploring Winchcombe and the whole of the Cotswolds. Lovely little cottage with ample parking. It has a massive kitchen and I was impressed with the amount of supplies / utensils provided including jam, hot chocolate, milk and sparkling wine. The only issue we had was that the shower water was either cold or like warm at best and when you shower, water leaks through the ceiling into the kitchen (despite securely closing the shower door as we had been instructed). If these issues were resolved I’d happily stay again.

We all enjoyed our weeks stay in Queen Mary cottage ,it was clean, spacious and having the bonus of an enclosed garden perfect for our dogs .The only downside being the gravel round the garden was very weedy and I had to clear an area for the dogs ..

Easy to find and with ample parking available, this was a great little place for our family weekend away to explore the Cotswolds. The free entrance to Sudeley Castle was a bonus. The cottage was well equipped and well presented. Our only observation was the prior water leak from the shower that had come through to the ceiling below. It would be great if this could be sorted out.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Queen Mary. The cottages are in a lovely quiet location and the inside space is very comfortable for us and the dog. A short walk into the village provides great pubs and places to eat. Love being in the grounds of the Castle and there are so many lovely walks to enjoy.

A couple of niggles, we needed to wash the kitchen floor with us and the dog traipsing in and out and I couldn't find a bucket and mop. Plus not enough toilet rolls supplied. :-)

A lovely cottage especially if you are travelling with dogs. The enclosed courtyard was ideal for the morning and late night wee without having to put on their leads. The cottage was fully equipped with everything you could possibly want. Only a few minutes walk to Winchcombe town centre and a short drive to many other Cotswold towns/villages. Also a couple of minutes walk to be on the grounds of the castle with loads of walks for the dogs. An added bonus of course, was free access to the castle itself. The area was very quiet and we scarcely saw another person. We cannot wait to go again.

Was awful when we arrived after a long drive and music from a radio full blast from a large building site right next to our cottage. Awful view of builders rubbish and building site. Cottage lovely really quiet over weekend when builders not working. Great situation for seeing the Cotswolds. Would recommend when building work done.

Beautiful property with plenty of parking space. The place was clean and neat with all amenities needed for the first day. Shops are close by. sometimes the shops close earlier. Bed was comfortable. The stay comes with travel cot and baby high chair which made life easy for us. Easy access to castle.I recommend staying here.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Queen Mary Cottage. We had everything we needed, as everything was catered for (even toiletries, and extras such as cling film, torches, a fan, cleaning equipment, teas and milk etc). Full facilities if you want to cook, do washing, iron (not that we did!). The cottage was spotless, which we were so pleased about. The location is perfect - beautiful spot. Included in the stay was free access to Sudeley Castle, which was fantastic. So much more there than expected, and a brilliant play area for the kids. The cottage is so close to Winchcombe centre, with a great pub just up the road (White Hart Inn). Parking space just at the rear of the property and you have access to the cottage at the back, so easy for uploading cases etc. Nice little courtyard area with table and chairs (if you choose a warmer time than we did). We would definitely recommend staying here, and would look to come back (or try another one of the cottages).

We are previous guests at Sudeley Cottages albeit from some time ago and we have also stayed at Queen Mary before .Cottage has been refurbished since then to a very good standard and on arrival cottage was very clean and well presented all round..Cottage is spacious and with a small but adequate sitting out area. Winchcombe town pubs and restaurants just a short walk away. Plenty of nice walks nearby and, particularly if you have children, take a trip on the nearby heritage steam railway line to Broadway or Cheltenham.
Only criticism is that whilst very clean on arrival, as it is dog friendly the vacuum cleaner left for guests use to tidy round had not been cleaned out and was full of very smelly dog hairs etc which unfortunately pervaded the cottage for some time after use,, Needs to be emptied and disinfected as part of the pre-arrival cleaning regime. That is why have given 4 on condition otherwise would have been top marks..

Queen Mary cottage was just perfect, Having stayed at a lot of cottages in the past this was by far a 10/10. Perfect location. Great pub within walking distance and the High Street. The cottage was fantastically equipped. Little touches like hand santiser, dog bowl & towel, fan, extra towels, milk in the fridge, tea/coffee etc....All very very clean too. Would absolutely recommend Sudeley Cottages and would be happy to return. Thank you!

We had a great girls’ trip to Sudeley Castle, where we enjoyed a very homey stay in the Queen Mary Cottage. Super close to Winchcombe and Sudelely, as well as a great location for walking and visiting the surrounding Cotswold villages. The cottage itself was clean and very well equipped; beds were comfortable and we felt right at home.

We have stayed at Queen Mary many times and can't wait to return. What a fantastic location in a lovely part of England. The cottage is always clean and welcoming on arrival and so warm and comfortable whatever season we go. Cannot recommend the village enough, everyone so welcoming and fantastic deli.
Already planning our next trip.

Stayed at Queens Cottage for a month in November 20 and most recently Queen Mary Cottage Jan/Feb 21. Queen Mary Cottage was very clean and comfortable, but very cold even with the heating on full blast (lots of draughts from windows and under doors). The fridge is very small (I have seen bigger mini bar fridges) and does not work as well as it should. Up stairs shower is in need of an upgrade as the water pressure is very weak and the shower door is in need of repair.
My booking was initially for 14 nights but I needed to extend for a further 2 nights, which I arranged with Bolthole Retreats. The lady dealing with my request was very unhelpful and rude and is in need of some customer service training. Boltholes retreats charged me a further £392.20 for 2 extra nights which I thought was excessive, I asked for a small discount which was denied.

We recently enjoyed a fabulous 5 day stay at Sudeley Cottages staying in the delightfully charming Queen Mary Cottage. It was superbly located being a 2 minute walk into the beautiful Winchcombe village, a 5 minute drive to Cleve Hill and a 20 minute drive from most of the wonderful Cotswold villages such as Bourton-on-the-water, Stowe-on-the-Wold and Broadway. The cottage was amply stocked and a perfect winter getaway for a family of 4. The bottle of Prosecco was also a lovely touch. Thoroughly recommended!

This was our fifth time staying at Queen Mary cottage at Sudley castle, and will certainly not be our last. We love the Cotswolds and this gem of a village is perfect for exploring the surrounding area.
The cottage is comfortable and has all you need for a wonderful stay (with the exception of a corkscrew)

My family and I have enjoyed many breaks at Sudeley in the last few years and often in Queen Mary so it was lovely to be back! I think the lighting in the cottage now needs to be updated and brighter but I'm sure this will come.

The cottage was very comfortable & clean, & pretty well equipped, though the kitchen could do with a casserole dish and a vegetable knife. There's not much outside space and what there is is pretty much in the car park. The shower leaked through the ceiling into the dining area but this wasn't a major issue for us

The cottage is in a great location, and looks great, with plenty of parking. We had booked it for three weeks with our two dogs, so the fields just around the corner were a real plus. The furniture was very comfortable, as were the beds. Unfortunately there is no washing machine in the cottage. The cottage had great lighting on the first floor, but is very dark downstairs, even with all the lights on. The vacuum cleaner that is provided may be ok for a week's stay without dogs, but was not up to the task for a full three week stay with two Labradors. There were some maintenance issues which we have passed on to the management company. A great place if you're only staying for a few days.
