Dog-Friendly Holidays Gloucestershire

Cenwulf Cottage is a delightful property located in the centre of Winchcombe. This terraced property boasts outstanding views from the garden that look over the countryside and hill surrounding the town. With a private seating area at the top of the garden, this is the perfect space for enjoying a morning coffee or putting your feet up after a day’s walking. At the bottom of the garden is a small unfenced pond.
You enter the property straight into the living/dining room, fitted with a great feature wood burner, it makes for a cosy and warm space for those quiet nights in. Continuing through the property you will find a contemporary, well-equipped kitchen which leads out into the garden and is the perfect place for the designated chef to rustle up some good food. Upstairs is a well-proportioned master bedroom, a further single bedroom both with luxury bed linen and a bathroom with shower over bath for the extra touch of elegance.
This characterful holiday property is the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a real win for guests who are looking to get away from their busy life for a break. The name Winchcombe means ’valley with a bend’, and today the town still retains streets which curve gracefully along the ’combe’. The inns, restaurants, tea rooms and shops set among Winchcombe’s three main streets are full of the character of times past, and the great variety of refreshments are an added bonus! Within walking distance of the cottage are two small supermarkets, several pubs, restaurants and a fish n’ chip shop, go on, treat yourself!
