About this cottage rental

This apartment cottage is named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a nephew of King Charles I, who commanded the Royalist cavalry during the English Civil War and made Sudeley his headquarters.
The entrance to the apartment is via one of two outdoor staircases (at each end of the Old Forge) and the shared decking area, which faces a pretty lawn and the footpath to Sudeley Castle.
The first floor has a bright and light open plan living area, dining area and fully equipped kitchen overlooking the main courtyard. A pretty, divided staircase leads up to the double bedroom and family bathroom to the left and the single bedroom (with under-eaves space for a ‘folding' bed) to the right.

Note: the three Old Forge apartment cottages have restricted headroom in parts of the bedrooms and landing areas due to the original oak beams and A-frame structure.

Lack of supervision on standard gave rise to a number of minor faults. Contact to resolve issues to Owners (castle) or letting agent was "not our responsibility).

I was a volunteer for a couple of days on an archaeological dig at Sudeley Castle so needed somewhere convenient to stay. The Prince Rupert was ideal! It was spacious, well-appointed, quiet and comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was only a short walk over the fields to Sudeley Castle and also extremely close to the amenities on offer in the delightful town of Winchcombe. The cottage was only a stone's throw from a network of footpaths including the Cotswold Way, so I enjoyed a wander up to the atmospheric Belas Knap Long Barrow on the Monday. A relaxing stay at Prince Rupert is highly recommended!

The accommodation was adequate for the short stay I was there. The kitchen is well equipped. Overall it was clean but there were cobwebs around the beams and windows. It did feel a bit shabby and ready for a lick of paint and a furniture upgrade. The bathroom has seen better days. The wi-Fi was terrible and I could barely get emails. There was no chance of working or streaming any films. The location is very good - quiet and peaceful but within walking distance to Winchcombe.

Lovely cottage, well laid out with well equipped kitchen. Footpath to Sudely Castle was ideal - a visit to the castle was the purpose of our visit and it did not disappoint.

Winchcombe itself is just a short walk away from the cottage, so it made a perfect base for our short break, especially with easy parking available. Many 'day out' destinations were close by, but Sudeley Castle (entry included in the cost), GWSR steam railway and Winchcombe's lovely walks were all accessible on foot. The cottage's kitchen was excellent and very well equipped and the bed comfortable, but the bathroom and shower, paint finishes and table tops were a little worn and in need of some TLC. Overall, an enjoyable stay in an excellent location.

We spent 2 nights in Prince Rupert, had a very nice stay. It was well equipped and the information pack was useful. Able to look round the grounds and house as part of the package.

Great location,kitchen,dining area. Needs higher back settee and chair that are supportive. Sofa had lost any support. Shower hose and end needs replacing. Rail for stairs up to property needs to be continuous. Great to be close to good places to eat in Winchcombe and to many footpaths and to have access to Sudeley Castle. Would be interesting to have more history re building.
10.0 / 10.0
Excellent accommodation in a perfect location, within easy walking distance of the fascinating and historic Sudeley Castle and the town of Winchcombe with great character, good pubs and a fine selection of eating. Walkers are welcome in Winchcombe and there are many excellent, scenic walks directly from the accommodation. The staff were easy to contact, courteous and very helpful. There was ample, safe parking.
