Description Winchcombe Winner: Winchcombe

Instantly cosy, this characterful cottage is a true home away from home. With a log burner for winter months and a sunny courtyard come summer, you can enjoy every season here to the fullest. We love the traditional features, though there are low ceilings in the bedrooms and steep stairs – but hey, that's all part of the charm. One furry friend is welcome to tag along for a fee, and you'll find plenty of pup-approved walks (and pubs) in the local area. You're also not far from Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Cheltenham when you're in the mood to explore.

Home truths:
*Please note that while children are welcome to join you, infants are not allowed.
*This is a period home, so expect low beams, sloped ceilings and a steep staircase. Both bedrooms are a little snug.
*Mobile phone signal varies here depending on the provider.
*The fire pit has a grill on it, but guests are responsible for providing their own charcoal.
*Your host arranges a starter supply of wood for the fire between October and April.
*The smoke and CO decorators operate on a sound-only basis.
