About this apartment rental
St. Kenelm is an apartment that was completely refurbished in February 2017, including a new kitchen, bathroom, and soft furnishings throughout. The apartment was restored from a paper mill to make spectacular accommodation with exposed stone walls and original beams. It is named after St Kenelm, who was a member of the royal family of Mercia, a boy king and martyr, who was murdered by an ambitious relative, and his body was transported by the Monks of Winchcombe to become a major shrine.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Downstairs comprises of an open-plan lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, and the apartment boasts views over the nearby river and cottage courtyard.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms. One double bedroom and two single rooms, perfect for friends sharing or children who prefer having some privacy!
Note: due to the number of steps, this property is not suitable for guests with mobility problems.
Please note the apartment entrance is on the first floor up a flight of external stairs. Then there are internal stairs leading up to the apartment.

St Kenelm is part of a quirky little set of cottages in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Really well located for a walk into Winchcombe or up to the castle, as well as other charming little towns and villages nearby. Definitely visit The Lion pub for a meal in the village - food was great and the service was really friendly.
The accommodation itself was a little disappointing in parts, feeling musty and a bit unloved on arrival. This is a super old building so we expected character, but the layer of dust in the lounge was off-putting, as was the mildew on some of the windows. It all just feels as if it could do with a freshen up to bring it back to its best.
Bedding and towels were lovely and clean and there was plenty of hot water!

Lovely 2 day stay in Winchcombe. Cottage was situated very close to the centre. Accomodation great for 4 people. Well equipped and tastefully dressed. Just a couple of suggestions- windows in bedrooms need a better clean, sofa needs some attention. Other than these observations, would definitely book again.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
On entry to the building the cleanliness was very poor, on entry to the apartment we found multiple cobwebs on windows and Louvre sky lights, just lazy cleaning in our opinion. Clients asked to clear rubbish, strip beds, vacuum, and tidy towels in order to assist cleaners. We assume the allows more time for cleaning but this is not indicated inn St Kinelmn apartment. This is our 6th annual trip to the Cotswolds and the most disappointing accommodation
