However, we were pretty disappointed with the overall standard of the accommodation, given the price. There were cobwebs in nearly every room, the sofas felt quite worn, and the beds were small and very creaky, which made it difficult to sleep. While we appreciated that the house was well-equipped, the quality simply didn’t match our expectations or the price. · via Google [Jack Evans](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113674380803823525845/reviews) ★★★★★ Stayed in Charles I cottage — has character, a large and light kitchen / living room, excellent location close to Winchcombe high street, but is far from luxurious. Walls and skirting boards are scuffed and stained like a budget hotel's, window panes were lined with cobwebs and the furniture is basic. Upstairs the two bedrooms are very small and the beds themselves are short. If you're taller than 6ft your feet will probably press against the wooden lip at the end. I'm 6'3" and had to lie diagonally to fit in, meaning there wasn't room for my wife who had to sleep next door. We expected better quality for nearly £200 a night. · via Google [Virginia Librand Wagner](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110150760891087913802/reviews) ★★★★★ Sudeley Castle boasts several charming cottages scattered throughout its picturesque grounds, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience the castle's enchanting atmosphere up close. These cottages, some dating back centuries, provide cozy accommodations with modern amenities while retaining their historic charm. Imagine waking up to the serene surroundings of the Cotswolds countryside, with the majestic castle just a stone's throw away. Staying in one of Sudeley Castle's cottages is like stepping back in time while enjoying the comforts of the present. · via Google [Cyril Bur](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111047484939081156669/reviews) ★★★★★ Perfect distance from the castle. Stayed over Easter long weekend. Exactly the kind of accommodation we were after. Excellent level of comfort for all four of us. Peaceful and quiet with parking onsite. Only 2 minutes from dining and pubs. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48711f6f543094ed:0x8ca579b2e99b5643!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this castle offers stunning gardens, fascinating history, and well-presented exhibitions with numerous artifacts.
