A sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 3 guests in 2 bedrooms

Find yourself in a unique historic location at Charles I. Set in the picturesque Cotswolds countryside, this bolthole boasts a delightful location. With both the castle and the delights of Winchcombe close by, you have plenty of wonderful places to explore. Thoughtfully renovated with an air of sophistication, Charles I at Sudeley Castle is a relaxing rural stay.

Staying at this property feels like a true getaway; the sitting area provides a cosy place to unwind with your loved ones, and the kitchen area is well-equipped for cooking delicious dinners and dining together. Each of the bedrooms feature original wood beams, adding to the traditional character of this property and the family bathroom has been styled elegantly.

Outside, wooden decking stretches across the rear of the Old Forge providing access to each cottage. Charles I has its own private area with a table and chairs where you can spread out the maps with your morning coffee and plan the day. Walk from your front door to local footpaths linking to the famous Cotswolds Way.

Ground Floor
Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
Stepping into the living room from the decking area, you’ll immediately be struck by the original and huge Old Forge window that is the centrepiece of the downstairs floor in Charles I, making this a very bright and welcoming apartment furnished with country cottage fabrics.

At the entrance, you will find an understairs cupboard housing a travel cot, stair gate, highchair, iron, ironing board, airer, as well as the Welcome Dog Basket (with stainless steel bowl and blanket).

A comfortable sofa, sink-in armchair with a footstool and wooden antique chair provide plenty of seating for 4 in the living area. In addition, the living area is furnished with an oak coffee table, occasional tables and a smart TV.

The fully equipped kitchen, overlooking the decking and garden, has a country-cottage feel, with fresh off-white coloured and wooden work surfaces. The kitchen has all the appliances, cookware, crockery and glassware you need for a self-catering holiday, including an oven/hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine and washer/dryer.

Extending from the kitchen is a spacious dining area with a round, oak dining table and chairs for 4 that overlooks the main Sudeley Cottages courtyard.
