About this property

A sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

This apartment cottage is named in memory of King George III, who came to visit Sudeley Castle & Gardens on several occasions in the late 18th Century. Converted from the old forge on the Sudeley Estate, George III is ideally situated for exploring this fascinating part of the Cotswolds. Walking routes run from the door and you are a short distance from the village of Winchcombe and the delights of Sudeley Castle. This apartment cottage has open walls of Cotswold stone, sloped ceilings and original beams and views across the shared lawned garden to the treeline beyond. You will see walkers pass along the Windrush Way which runs behind the cottages.

This spacious, dog-friendly cottage has a large open plan living area across the ground floor. There is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy your own hobbies but also to gather for a meal or around the TV together. Upstairs two double bedrooms nestle beneath the eaves with a family shower room.

The terrace offers a section with seating just for George III and the shared lawn is perfect for dogs and the children. Enjoy this fantastic location, venturing further afield to the towns and villages of the Cotswolds as well as Sudeley Castle and the pubs and restaurants of Winchcombe on your doorstep.

*Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.

Ground Floor
Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
A bright, well-lit open plan area, furnished with country cottage fabrics, makes up the downstairs floor of George III. The sitting area has two comfortable sofas and an armchair so everybody has space to stretch out and enjoy a film or flick through a magazine. The fully-equipped kitchen overlooks the main courtyard and has a country-cottage feel, with fresh off-white coloured cabinets and wooden work surfaces. The kitchen has everything you will need for your stay including an oven/hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine. A dedicated dining area has a round table seating four.

First Floor
The staircase to the first floor splits in two with one side accessing bedroom one, and the second taking you to bedroom two and the family bathroom. You will pass an image of George III and it's worth pausing to admire the old construction methods on show in the beams.

Bedroom One:
This is the largest bedroom and is furnished with an oak frame standard double bed, bedside tables and individual overbed lights with reading and room lighting. This bedroom has a handy dressing area with a chest of drawers and a hanging cupboard - also the perfect place to set up a little one’s travel cot.

Bedroom Two:
The Old Forge’s impressive, but low, original oak beams are the centrepiece in bedroom two. Furnished with an oak frame standard double bed, bedside tables and individual overbed lights with reading and room lighting and a full-length mirror.

Family Shower Room:
Adjacent to bedroom two is the family shower room, with a large walk-in shower (with a fixed over-head rain shower and detachable handheld shower head) toilet, sink and heated towel rail.

Outside
Guests of George III share a lovely wooden decking area that looks out over a communal garden lawn and a footpath that leads to Sudeley Castle. Each apartment has its own seating area with table and chairs for 4 guests.

Ideal stay for wedding in Sudeley Castle
Stayed with wife, baby and in-laws. Clean throughout. Spacious downstairs. Well equipped kitchen. Low and angled ceilings in bedrooms only reason for 4/5 in comfort. Unfortunately, weather and busyness precluded us from enjoying the what looks to be newly decorated outside - but looks wonderful. Lovely touch by owners to leave some basic staples that were much appreciated on our arrival!

Pretty Cotswold cottage in a superb location
I have stayed at Sudeley Castle Cottages approx 30 years ago and always wanted to return, loving the Cotswolds in general and history in particular. Winchcombe is such a pretty little town, with lots of pubs, shops, and restaurants and with the castle literally on your doorstep, it really was an easy choice to make. :-) We stayed in George 111 a small but perfectly formed little cottage. There were just the two of us, but being work colleagues ,we preferred the option of a bedroom each, but without a hotel price tag, and a home from home environment. It was perfect, with everything that you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Lovely and clean and cosy with added extras like tea, coffee, biscuits, mints, toiletries, and dog blankets. My friend was very impressed that a tea pot and toast rack were included. :-) Beds were super comfortable and there were plenty of toiletries and quality white fluffy towels. The table and chairs on the outside decking area was a nice touch and it was lovely and peaceful sitting there with a morning cuppa listening to the birds and watching the sheep strolling up to the fence. A public walkway was spitting distance from our front door that took you on to the Sudeley Castle estate within minutes, and the complimentary entry was a bonus. Walking into the village took minutes but there is a steep hill in Castle Street which could be problematic for those with mobility issues - don't forget your torch. No negatives at all, but i think a visitors' book would be a nice touch for visitors to give recommendations for pubs, restaurants and things to do. Also, with the downstairs being lino, floorcovering a nice rug or carpeted in the living room area would make it cosier. Would definitely revisit.

Great stay in a historic location
It was lovely staying in a historic converted cottage with great facilities. A great bonus was free entry to Sudeley Castle. We had the added bonus of decking so we were able to eat outside when weather permitted.
