Dove Cottage beautifully restored Tudor cottage sleeps 6 (3 bedrooms)

Dove cottage is a restored and extended Tudor cottage in the heart of Winchcombe. It is refurbished to a high standard with quality, comfortable furnishings, a large inglenook and log burner and original art throughout (the owner is a well known artist, Katharine Dove).

Ideal for two or three couples looking for a cottage with two large double bedrooms (the sitting room sofa bed makes an optional 3rd double bedroom leaving plenty of entertaining space in the living area). All rooms have character and there are two bathrooms upstairs and toilet and sink off the ground floor sitting room.

Also good family accommodation due to the versatility to sleep 2 or 3 children on the top floor and another in the small bedroom.

The master has a king size bed. The second large bedroom on the top floor, has a zip and link bed. It can be a 6ft double or two 3ft single beds. The third bedroom is very small and would be most suitable for one small child (for short stays or occasional use).
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a safe and a desk.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

This was our second stay in Dove Cottage and we love it. Charming cottage with lots of room. Convenient location to other Cotswolds villages, and to local shops, restaurants, and pubs. Parking in the Back Lane lot is very easy. Hope to return for another visit

Very pleasant place to stay
Charming and comfortable cottage in a small town with fascinating history and also at the intersection of several hiking trails. We had the best sleep each night. The gallery art in the cottage added flair and interest. We would definitely recommend Dove Cottage.

Great stay at Dove Cottage
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dove Cottage. It perfectly accommodated two elderly grandparents, three kids ages 9,14 and 17 along with my wife and I for a week’s stay in the Cotswolds. We loved the updates mixed with some of the historical nuisances of the cottage. It was appropriately outfitted to allow for multiple evenings of cooking in while also being within easy walking distance of several great local Winchcombe Pubs. We utilized the wood burning stove on a few chilly evenings and it took away the chill and set a cozy atmosphere in the front room. It was a wonderful place to call home for the week and we would absolutely stay again.

Amazing Cottage
The Dove Cottage was absolutely perfect! We traveled from Texas to visit the town my great grandmother was born in. The home provided us a great space to fit 3 adults and 2 children. We had a beautiful sitting room to enjoy our family coming to visit from cheltenham. The cottage was filled with beautiful art and so much love. Loved the North Bakery close by.

Perfect Cotswolds Cottage
What a wonderful cottage and location. Right on the High street, a quick walk from anything you need, in a charming historic village. We appreciated the hosts' proactive host communication to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was beautifully appointed and comfortable. Wouldn't change a thing. If we are lucky enough to make it back to the Cotswolds, we'll rebook at the same place.

Wonderfully Charming Cottage
We had a wonderful time here at Doves Cottage. It’s a charming place in the heart of Winchcombe and served us well as home base to explore the Cotswolds. A handful of coffee shops markets and restaurants - even one with a Michelin star - are just a few steps away. The house itself is very well appointed. It doubles as an art studio so there many works on display which makes the decor top notch and they are available for purchase as well. There were eight of us and we all fit nicely - beds for all - two and a half baths - common area seating. The back walkway and garden are beautiful with foliage and flowers - be sure to yell out Squirrel! when you see it on the neighbors house. Sudeley Castle is very close - we walked - about 30 minutes - and a definite must see - there’s a queen buried there. Many thanks to Katharine for her hospitality!

Special home in a very special location
Dove Cottage, in the historic town of Winchcombe, has been lovingly restored to welcome its visitors. Within 2 blocks of Dove Cottage, visitors can find everything they need. Lots of opportunity for walks through the Cotswolds and opportunities to explore the fascinating history of the area. Bus service to places further afield is excellent, so day trips are easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Charming Winchcombe...
The village of Winchcombe is charming and easily accessible to nearby Cotswold villages. There are a few pubs and restaurants which served very good, local food. We initially struggled with heating the home but after calling the owners, we were instructed on what to do to make the space cozy and warm. The beds were comfortable and included nice linens. The kitchen was lacking in basic supplies like napkins, paper towels, cream for coffee, etc. It would have been nice to have had a "welcome" offering of a bottle of wine or a few pieces of fruit. There is a nice espresso maker and the owners had left coffee for us.

Lovely Cottage and Gallery in great location
Overall this is an ideal property near the centre of the village where you have a very private sitting area to the rear with double doors opening from the dining area making it ideal for an evening sit and quiet drink. Close to shops, pub and takeaway with just a minute or two walk to all the local amenities. The cottage is a little quirky but full of character. We had a couple of very very minor niggles but nothing that would prevent us rebooking this property - sticking garden gate at rear and dripping sink tap - sure they will be fixed now we have pointed them out.
