Charming Victorian Wool Cottage on the Cotswold Way in Winchcombe.

Nestled on picturesque Vineyard Street in the historic town of Winchcombe, this delightful two-bedroom Victorian wool cottage blends timeless character with all the modern comforts today's discerning traveller expects. With its honey-coloured stone, cosy interiors and enviable location, The Feathered Nest offers an idyllic base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Inside, the cottage beautifully balances its 19th‑century charm with the comforts of modern living. Stepping through the front door, you’re welcomed into a characterful sitting room with flagstone floors, a comfy sofa and armchair, and an impressive original hearth housing a log‑burning stove. An oak‑beamed ceiling enhances the warm, traditional feel, while a television and high‑speed Wi‑Fi ensure you stay connected and entertained.

Beyond the sitting room, the well‑equipped kitchen offers everything you need for a relaxed stay, including an oven, four‑ring induction hob, fridge‑freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, and a Nespresso coffee machine for that perfect morning brew.

Upstairs are two inviting bedrooms—one double and one twin—making the cottage ideal for couples, friends, or small families.
On the first floor the 'Feather and Black' King Size Bed welcomes guests with Egyptian Cotton White Company Bedlinen. A staircase leads off bedroom one to bedroom two on the second floor. This small bedroom has been cleverly laid out to fit two full size single beds, a small dresser and under bed storage is provided. Again The White Company Bedlinen and Towels are provided.

The bathroom is located on the ground floor, in keeping with the traditional layout of period cottages but includes a full size bath and separate enclosed shower cubicle as well as underfloor heating and a heated towel rail to warm your luxurious White Company Towels.

At the rear of the property is a pretty courtyard garden furnished with seating for four. It’s a peaceful spot to enjoy a quiet morning coffee before setting off on your adventures, or an aperitif as you unwind after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.

Due to the age and character of the property, it is not suitable for guests requiring disability‑friendly access. There are also a number of steps within the property and please note bedroom two is accessed through bedroom one and there is no handrail between the first and second floor bedroom.

Positioned directly on the famous Cotswold Way, the cottage is a dream for walkers and nature lovers. Just a few hundred metres away stands the magnificent Sudeley Castle, final home and resting place of Queen Katherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII—an extraordinary piece of history right on your doorstep.

Winchcombe itself is full of charm, with independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs to discover. From this perfectly placed cottage, you can easily explore the region’s most iconic Cotswold villages, including Broadway, Stow‑on‑the‑Wold, and Bourton‑on‑the‑Water.

The town has been awarded The Walkers are Welcome status and hosts an annual walking festival each May. The Cotswold Way, Gloucestershire Way and Wychavon Way all pass through Winchcombe. Nearby, Belas Knap is a Neolithic barrow in a spectacular location above Humblebee Woods. There is also an unspoilt Roman Villa to discover at Spoonley Wood.

With so many beautiful Cotswold villages on the doorstep also, you will find it hard to leave. Whether you’re seeking scenic rambles, rich heritage, or simply a cosy retreat in an enchanting setting, this Vineyard Street cottage offers a memorable stay in the heart of Gloucestershire.

Parking? No problem. Vineyard Street has unrestricted parking along both sides so you will have no problem finding a space close to the cottage, usually right outside.

Pets: This property is a pet free zone. No dogs I am afraid.

Lovely historical cottage as a base for exploring the area

This was a charming little cottage with a bright extension and the perfect base for our family of 4 to explore the Cotswolds. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and pots, and even a laundry and good sized fridge. Shower and plumbing worked great. We also appreciated the fireplace during the cooler spring evenings!

Winchcombe is a beautiful small town. There is much to see and do without leaving the town. There are several great pubs and restaurants although our personal favourites were the Lion Inn and the Indian Restaurant (5 stars to both). The ‘Feathered Nest’ is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage. It was pleasantly cool during some very warm weather. The original accommodation is typical of many rural English cottages. The modern extension and renovation of the building adds a welcome contemporary feel to the building. A thoroughly enjoyable stay!

Adorable cottage in beautiful small English village

Cute super clean historic cottage was well worth our time and money. Steps from Sudeley Castle which we toured. Paul and Amanda were great hosts-nice and helpful. Village shops and restaurants were full of friendly people and great food and drink. Highly recommended! We definitely would stay there again when we return to England

Ideal location in Winchcombe

I stayed in this property with my family for a week. The location in Winchcombe is perfect, easy walking distance to all shops , restaurants and local attractions and also ideally situated as a starting point to a wide variety of countryside walks both short and long. The cottage is well equipped and has a lovely seating area at the rear which catches the sun in the afternoon. Although there is no reserved parking we had no problem parking directly outside the property for the duration of our stay and there is plenty of alternative parking close by. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property for a stay in the Cotswolds.
