Castle Gatehouse - a sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Staying at the Castle Gatehouse is akin to booking your very own miniature castle at Sudeley. This 2-bed house marks the entrance to the castle grounds and has been thoughtfully renovated to accommodate up to four guests. With your own patio, complete with an outdoor dining table, you can enjoy views over the surrounding countryside and soak up the atmosphere of the Cotswolds way of life.

The accommodation is arranged with bedroom one and its two-poster bed and en-suite shower room, occupying one wing of the Gatehouse. Across the courtyard, another door leads into a well-equipped kitchen and stairs leading up to a beautifully furnished, cosy living area. The second bedroom is on the first floor of this wing along with an ensuite shower room. Settle down for the day in the elegant living room and spend time with your loved ones.

Outside, guests can admire the rural views that line the driveway to the castle from two individually gated gardens– a mirror image of each other – neatly connected by a shared terrace in the middle with an outdoor dining table and chairs. There is private driveway with parking for two cars and two dogs are welcome.
