About this cottage rental

Booking the Castle Gatehouse is akin to booking your very own miniature castle for your stay at Sudeley! The former gatekeeper's house marks the entrance to the castle grounds and has been converted and restored to provide comfortable accommodation for up to four guests over its unique layout. Its ancient and impressive structure is complemented with symmetrical gardens lined with iron railings and a stone courtyard in the centre.

The accommodation is arranged such that Bedroom One, with its four-poster bed and en-suite shower room, is accessed via a separate door, in one wing of the Gatehouse. Across the courtyard is another door, leading into a well-equipped kitchen with a dining table and chairs for four guests, a utility area with stairs leading up to a beautifully furnished, cosy living area and additional separate WC just off the landing. A further seven steps will take you to Bedroom Two, a spacious room with a king-size double bed. A few steps down will lead you to the en-suite shower room, with a concealed washing machine and tumble dryer.

Outside, guests can admire the pastoral views that line the driveway to the castle from two individually gated gardens, a mirror image of each other, neatly connected by a shared patio in the middle with an outdoor dining table and chairs.

We stayed at the property for 2 nights and it was just perfect. It seems the property has recently been renovated as everything looked very fresh. The interior design was beautiful and everything was very nicely presented. Although the living room would benefit from a second couch (in my opinion). Especially, if you stay longer and bad weather keeps you inside. There was coffee, tea, milk and a selection of jams which was very welcoming. The locations is perfect, walking distance to the town and the castle. If I will ever come to the Cotswolds again, I'll definitely stay at the Gate House again

It was so lovely to stay on the castle grounds, giving us the ability to walk the beautiful property whenever we wanted. The gatehouse was cosy. There were nice welcoming items like tea and hot chocolate.

The Sudeley Castle Gatehouse is a beautiful building from the outside, but not the most practical place to stay ...unless you like a lot of stairs, and are happy with one of the two bedrooms (with Ensuite), being located outside the main residence. The Kitchen is pleasant. Beds are comfortable if you like a firm mattress. The upstairs shower had very noticeable mould as did the washing machine. There are 6 or 7 steps from the main Bedroom (over the archway) down each side to either the Ensuite/ Robe/ EuroLaundry on one side, or the Sitting Room on the other. Then the usual winding staircase down to the ground level. Being a very old structure, only two tiny windows upstairs were able to be opened making it a bit stuffy in the Bedroom. Great location with short walk to Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay as we celebrated our Church Wedding at Sudeley Castle. The grandiose building made our stay extra special.

Great location, could walk to and from the castle. Close to our other booked accommodations (14 vineyard st and almsbury farmhouse). Good parking. Love the back garden it was lovely to have drinks in the evening. Avoid if you have accessibility issues! I also didn't realise bedroom #2 was not accessible from the main part of the building with bedroom #1, something to think about if you have children. You need to go outside to access. Great amenities, clear instructions. Really nice bathroom and comfy bed.

The Gatehouse was perfect for our stay. With one bedroom with en-suite on the ground floor it made it easy for our elderly parents to enjoy the place and surroundings. So long as whomever uses the second bedroom and bathroom can navigate narrow stairs, some without hand rails, this is a fantastically placed accommodation for exploring the Cotswolds and nearby attractions, especially Sudeley Castle.
