Hidden behind a gated drive on the edge of Winchcombe, an ancient market town, Paddock Cottage is a bijou hideaway just for two. The traditional red brick exterior hides a thoughtfully designed space, which provides every creature comfort whilst the clean lines and stylish furnishings ensure this cottage feels light and airy. There’s a spacious bedroom, an open plan living and kitchen area and a private patio to the rear, overlooking a tree-lined paddock. It’s the perfect place from which to explore the north Cotswolds, the delights of Regency Cheltenham and enjoy exceptional walks.

We had a lovely stay at Paddock Cottage for a few nights! The weather was a bit rainy and the cottage was perfect to get dried off and warm! Really nice decor and amenities and perfect for us with our Spaniel



Perfect cottage for two

This is a lovely cottage, perfect for a short stay. It's very clean, comfortable and well appointed. It's in a peaceful location which meant we had quiet nights and undisturbed sleep.
The only slight issue I had was with the overhead shower because I don't like having to wash and style my hair every day. A height adjustable shower would have been perfect. And no, a shower cap is not the answer.



Everything there that we needed for a weekend away to a wedding.we had a great outlook

We had a great vista and lots of wildlife squirrels bring in abundance. There was everything in the cottage you would need for a short break of even a week away.



A beautiful stay in Winchcombe

The Paddock is in a pretty & tranquil setting, well maintained grounds. Quite small & basic but sufficient for 2 & for the time we spent indoors. We, personally, found the bed too soft. Some garden chair cushions would have been nice for the wooden chairs on the patio. We couldn't find a can opener ( something maybe to be aware of, if bringing your own tinned food). We were a bit disappointed not to receive any response to our questions we text to the owner/housekeeper the morning we departed re the dishwasher.
Winchcombe is a lovely village & the Paddock is a great base to explore that corner of the beautiful Cotswolds. There are lots of well mapped walking routes in the area. We could walk into the village ( approx 20mins) & to the Castle via the public footpaths. When you turn right out of the cottage gates, down the lane, directions say turn left when you see the river - we couldn't see the river ( not very visible through all the tree growth & walked too far the first time til we met some locals who corrected us). The left turn is actually not too far down the lane from the cottage. It's almost a U turn, up a small, muddy bank through a gate to continue on the footpath beside a field. ( wouldn't recommend the walk in the dark). We were lucky to be there in Sept & the wk of warm, sunny weather & trainers were sufficient on the walks.



A short stay

A fantastic stay, just one suggestion more crockery and cutlery would be great and would save washing up after every meal and make better use of the dishwasher



Excellent cottage!

Lovely cosy cottage, perfect for a quiet birthday celebration. Ideal for those wanting to bag the highest point in Gloucestershire at nearby Cleeve Common.

Perfect location for couples to visit attractions in the Cotswolds. We stayed here to visit Sudeley Castle which was brilliant. The accommodation was furnished to a high standard and very comfortable.

A great, clean and lovely retreat for two people in a beautiful setting. The location is great and very close to some wonderful little villages including within walking distance of Winchcombe. The Winchcombe way offers as much walking as desired and across beautiful scenery ending up wherever you fancy. A wonderful place to stay!

Overall the property was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. However, we were unable to connect to the internet when we arrived. We rang the number we had been given and then sent a message but received no reply. in the morning we rang Bolthole Retreats who gave us a different number. This resulted in a partial coverage but we were not able to use the smart tv while staying at the property.
There were only two mugs at the property, although there were lots of glasses.

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you found the property comfortable and that you enjoyed your stay regardless of the initial difficulty in connecting to the internet. The owner will look at the Smart TV and will also supply more mugs to the property. We hope that we can welcome you back to The Cotswolds in the future.

Would definitely book again.

In the area for work, originally booked somewhere more basic but husband was able to come with me so decided to look for somewhere a bit nicer - definitely lucky to find Paddock Cottage! Not the largest of places, but didn't feel cramped at all and had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend stay; we both thought that the cottage would provide a good place to stay for a longer period of time, too. If I need to stay in the area next year, we'll definitely look to re-book.



Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location

I stayed here during Cheltenham Festival week. It was like an oasis to get back to after a busy day at the racecourse. Everything you need is provided.



Lovely stay in A* accommodation!

We loved Paddock Cottage - sparkling clean, amazing views of the surrounding countryside, warm and welcoming and beautiful decor. Comfy bed too! The paddock at the back of the cottage was also brilliant for walking and playing with our dog. Loads to see and do locally, Winchcombe is a gem of a town! Highly recommended, hope to return.
