Mouse Hole Cottage

This was our second stay at Mouse Hole Cottage and it was just as good a second time.

It was cosy, comfortable, clean and close to local amenities. We enjoyed countryside walks, Sudeley Castle, the town trail and the museum as well as curling up with our books. We may well return for a third visit at some point!

The accommodation was spacious for 4 adults & a dog.

It was lovely having the log burner it made the lounge very cosy. The kitchen was well equipped, it had everything we needed. The bedrooms were warm & comfortable. Parking in the public car park for the week was easy & cheap, £7 per car per week, bargain. Our only complaint if you could call it that was the shrub/tree situated by the back gate, it definitely needs trimming back because we used that entrance a lot & the branches were at a very dangerous height & angle. We really enjoyed our stay, excellent location so we could explore the beautiful Cotswolds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

The location was ideal—right on the high street and close to all amenities. We were a group of six (four adults and two children), and the cottage was the perfect size for us.

Lovely little cottage in the heart of Winchcombe.

Warm, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The location is excellent for hiking from your doorstep. With shops cafes and pubs within a 5 minute walk. Although there is no parking at the property, we found parking easy on the roadside or in a nearby car park (£1 a day charge for car park).

A lovely cottage, full of character.

It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s in a great location for exploring Winchcombe and the surrounding area- lots of walks from the door. Thank you and thanks for the welcome milk & biscuits too.

Lovely holiday cottage, safe for out two dogs.

We know the area and love the walks and independent shops. Lovely to come back to a cosy cottage with a wood burner. Well enclosed garden.

Great location.

Well equipped and warm. Good downstairs space. Nice welcome pack. Reasonable price. Generally clean and tidy but cobwebs in corners and dust on beams etc. One of the beds had lots on long black hairs on the sheet when we pulled back the duvet (so we were not sure if the bed covers had been changed on that bed). We washed it before use! It's an old property so it has creaky floors upstairs (that's ok). Some of the downstairs walls appear to have rising damp (blown plaster and flaky paint). The downstairs shower room was a bit mouldy on the upper walls and the shower head riser was broken (but usable). Water seeped through the wall above the sink when it rained heavily. The patio gate needs some attention, also the imposing bush next to it which restricts access. There was tea and coffee provided in caddies but the coffee was part solidified so it may have been there a while! Not a problem as we used our own. Overall it's a great location but the property needs some investment and TLC.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mouse Hole cottage.

We would have liked some information for local walks, which there are plenty but nothing in the cottage. The back yard could do with a little bit of time sorting it out which would improve the stay. Some other have said the cottage in general is looking a bit tired which is true.Especially the downstairs shower room floor. But in general we enjoyed our stay.

A very comfortable stay in a lovely, well located cottage.

Thanks.

The property is lovely.

The owner responded to all our questions promptly which was appreciated. We would certainly return.

It's our 5th stay at Mousehole cottage.

It's perfect for walks and close to the centre of beautiful historic Winchcombe,. The cottage is warm and cosy, and well equipped. Everything you need. Sure we will be back for another visit.

Good as always.

Enjoyed our stay. Really could do with a heater of some description in the downstairs bathroom.

We come back to this cottage year after year so the evidence is clear.

This quaint, old traditional cottage is rather tired and in need of upgrading.

It has plenty of space and all the facilities required but is rather dingy.

Mousehole Cottage is well situated and close to shops and a large variety of eateries.

It was cosy, comfortable and clean. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the sun room on warm days with our books. Winchcombe itself is a beautiful historic village, with lovely countryside walks on the doorstep. We loved the castle and the heritage trail around the village. We enjoyed our stay and may well come back!

Beautiful and comfortable cottage.

Very spacious with everything you need. Great location.

Lovely olde world cottage, very cosy and the welcome gift of cake and wine was a nice touch.

Would definitely go again. The town was very quaint and the pubs very welcoming.

Beautiful traditional Cotswold cottage in a lovely location.

The Cottage is warm, clean and comfortable. We have been coming back to this gem of a find for years and can't keep away. Facilities in the locality are on your doorstep and the walks around the town including Sudeley Castle are a must.

We love the cottage, so full of character and in such a lovely place.

The log fire was soooo amazing. Thank you for the bottle of wine and shortbread biscuits, perfect. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage.

Quite well equipped. Brilliant location for walking into Winchcombe, which is a beautiful and interesting town. The garden is enclosed as stated in the description. However it is very small. Our large dog would not use it for a wee etc so we were up and down the road to the park more often than we would have liked.

The cottage was a comfortably lived in property which made us feel relaxed from when we arrived.

It was really what we were hoping for and fitted in so well for a visit to the Cotswolds, rather like living there. The village was nice, the White Hart pub was quite like a local and all the people we met were very polite and friendly. The new Indian restaurant was excellent and the staff quite outstanding. So many great places to visit and Sudeley castle should not be missed,and just a short walk away. Mouse hole cottage was a good choice and we would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxed break in a beautiful part of the country

Winchcombe is an excellent base for this part of the Cotswolds.

A lovely town with plenty of options for eating and shopping. We did several walks from Winchcombe and they were great. Winchcombe really does welcome walkers! The cottage was perfect for the three of us. It helped that the weather was glorious so we could make use of the small patio garden. We were confused about when to put the bins out. Clearer instructions needed, maybe a sticker on the appropriate bins? A few more comfortable outdoor chairs wouldn't go amiss as it was nice to sit outside in the evening and in the conservatory. We had no issues with the upstairs shower. We ate out a lot - highly recommend the fish and chip shop. The kitchen was fine, maybe a couple of washing up sponges could be provided as we didn't use the dishwasher. We didn't have a car but made use of the local bus to get to Chipping Camden. We managed to get to Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water by bus too. We had a great time and would stay in Mouse Hole cottage again.

A lovely cottage in a good location for walking.

Facilities were fine, shower upstairs could do with changing and overall the cottage needs up dating. Still a good property that had everything we needed.

Had a lovely week 4 adults, one child & our two cavalier King Charles.

The cottage is lovely & quaint! Shower downstairs amazingly powerful. Secure little garden for dogs, clean & comfortable. Only thing that could be improved is the upstairs shower it has little pressure & seems tired. Love the actual mouse hole that lights up with little figures! Such a lovely touch. Biscuits, milk and wine very welcome on arrival. We love the cotswolds & are hoping to book & stay at Mouse Hole cottage again very soon. Thank you

Lovely property and ideally situated for Cheltenham and other villages.

Local pubs/restaurants (especially the Lion Inn) very good. No complaints although the upstairs shower could be updated. Would stay again.

The Mouse Hole is in reasonable condition, and has been well cleaned and maintained.

The leather chair next to the TV could do with a clean is the only comment. We were very happy with what was provided, and the information about the area was helpful. It is very well positioned to explore the town, pubs and shopping. Great for days away in the car, and relaxing afterwards. The TV needs tuning, as sometimes it took time to tune in to the selected channel.

Great cottage, perfect location for everything,would recommend

The cottage exceeded our expectations as it was very spacious.

It accommodated our two dogs and the family perfectly.

Lovely cottage well appointed, great location with lots of pubs and restaurants in Winchcombe and also in nearby areas.

We enjoyed our week at the cottage and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. However there are a couple of things that could be improved: pillows have no support, towels need to be upgraded and no shaver/toothbrush sockets in the bathrooms.

The location of the cottage was excellent - close to the shops and restaurants that Winchcombe has to offer.

The cottage was exactly as described if not a little larger than expected. There were plenty of places to sit and relax and the bedrooms served the four (four friends) of us well. The furniture and interiors of the cottage are rather dated but the cottage was very clean. Winchcombe is well situated for the rest of the more famous Cotswolds towns/villages but is surprisingly empty of tourists as it is very pretty.

The housekeeper was very helpful in resolving a few matters

We loved the traditional, going back in time feel about Mouse hole.

Everything that you need is on your doorstep and the neighbours were really helpful The butchers is too good to miss along with the other local shops. The walks were lovely and Sudeley Castle is steeped in history. The housekeeper Karen is a real diamond and is always welcoming and on hand if you need her.

Peace and quiet.

Lovely surroundings and history. All amenities are on the doorstep. We keep coming back to this particular cottage as it ticks all the boxes that we love. The owners and caretaker are so approachable and they really make an effort to ensure that you have a great welcome and a perfect stay.

This cottage is warm, clean and so well presented.

The caretaker takes so much pride in this cottage to enable all who visit here to experience a wonderful time. The history of the town and property which we really enjoy, with many walks and wildlife. Nearby Sudeley Castle and grounds are a must if you like history and beautiful gardens. The local shops are so welcoming and suited all our needs. We have returned here so many times and love the atmosphere.

Winchcombe is an absolute delight,a beautiful place and the area is a walker's paradise.

We have stayed at Mousehole cottage many times.

It's in a beautiful location, the cottage is very comfy and we always have a lovely stay. However in the past there has always been use of the garage, as there is no street parking outside this was a great help. Granted there is a car park a couple of minutes away but when you have elderly relatives with you it makes it a bit difficult.

The cottage was in a perfect location.

It had a well equipped kitchen and the conservatory a great addition bringing much needed light into the property. The downstairs shower had great pressure compared to the one upstairs so we tended to use that. The furniture although in keeping with the cottage was a bit uncomfortable. We however ate all our meals either in the conservatory or the garden which was light and spacious. I would say the only thing missing from the cottage was a BBQ. I don't think I would stay there with more than 2 adults. There was just enough space for 2 of us and our bikes. Winchcombe is a great place. Highly recommended the Corner Cupboard for food.

Warm, comfortable, spacious and everything that we wanted.

Everything needed was on the doorstep in this historical lovely town.

The booking was fast efficient and very friendly.

We have been at this cottage a few times, we like its character and location. The owners and housekeeper are very helpful and flexible. We love the town and the history and the people are so very friendly.

House was very well equipped, had more than ample toilet and cleaning requisites, with very good laundry and drying facilities.

In addition , the owners left the best welcoming pack we've encountered on our trips to the Cotswolds!

We have been to this cottage before and wanted to return as it was such a success.

We booked another week and ended up extending our stay for another week. The location and facilities were excellent and the fire was a welcome sight in the cold evenings. We are planning a return as soon as we can.

We had a great time at Mousehole Cottage.

It was cosy and warm and very comfortable. The facilities were excellent and there were loads of little extras that made it even more enjoyable. The location was really good, with great pubs nearby and a good location to visit other places.

Lovely cottage - much bigger than expected and one of the most well-equipped self-catering cottages we have stopped in over the years.

Nice and warm, clean, tidy, in a very good central Winchcombe location.

We have visited Winchcombe for over twenty years and this cottage is far superior to any other that we have stayed in.

It suited our every need.

Mouse hole cottage was lovely and fit our needs very well: my mum is partially blind and has limited mobility and we both had a great time here.

The cottage was very clean, surprisingly spacious and well presented with decor and furniture in keeping with the house. The extra "potty" flap on the downstairs toilet was amusing for us (2 adults) but would be very practical for families. The owners have clearly put thought into the needs of the customers as it had everything we needed and the welcoming wine and biscuits were a nice touch. It is an old cottage so creaks, cracks and low beams are to be expected ( mum and I are both short but taller people beware of the low beam on the landing!). In terms of position, the cottage is right on the main road of Winchcombe, everything we needed was in easy reach and the carpark moments away, my mum had no issues going back and forth. Be aware that the main bedroom does get road noise because of the road, the other rooms are quieter. Free parking for blue badges in the car park ( 3 spaces) was a nice surprise.

The cottage was very clean & tidy.

There was a garage at the rear that was a real bonus. Perfect location for a Cotswold holiday. Highly recommended.

Was great to come back to a home from home after a lovely day out in the beautiful cotswolds.

Lovely place, ideal location.

Charmingly old inside and out. Grateful for the wine and delicious biscuits on arrival too!

The location in the centre of the village was ideal.

Pubs, restaurants and shops all within walking distance as was Sudeley Castle and many other walks. We would definitely consider it for future holidays.

Well equipped cottage with everything that a family holiday needed.

Beautiful location and a gorgeous property.
