About this property

Dove Cottage beautifully restored Tudor cottage sleeps 6 or 7

Dove cottage is a restored and extended Tudor cottage in the heart of Winchcombe. It is refurbished to a high standard with quality, comfortable furnishings, a large inglenook and log burner and original art throughout (the owner is a well known artist, Katharine Dove).

Ideal for two or three couples looking for a cottage with two large double bedrooms (the sitting room sofa bed makes an optional 3rd double bedroom leaving plenty of entertaining space in the living area). All rooms have character and there are two bathrooms upstairs and toilet and sink off the ground floor sitting room.

Also good family accommodation due to the versatility to sleep 2 adults or up to 3 children on the top floor.

The master has a king size bed. The second large bedroom on the top floor, has a zip and link bed. It can be a 6ft double or two 3ft single beds. T

Cotswold Way Walking Weekend

Characterful, quirky property with everything we needed. Central location in Winchcombe was perfect for our walking holiday, though single pane windows and overnight roadworks did make for a noisy first night, much better the second night.

Perfect cottage and combination of old and new

We REALLY enjoyed our visit to Winchcombe, and staying at the Dove Cottage was a highlight. It is exactly as advertised, with flexible accommodations, a central location, and responsive, friendly hosts. We would stay here again without hesitation. Upon your arrival, we highly recommend a pint of real ale in the back garden of the Lion Inn, just two minutes away. Dinner there, and at the local Indian place, was great too.

We really enjoyed our holiday at Daisy Cottage. It is very cozy and lovingly furnished, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. Everything is designed to make guests feel comfortable right away. You feel very welcome. One day before our arrival, we received an email from the host with lots of important information and tips, which helped us settle in immediately.Winchcombe is a charming little town with small shops and a larger supermarket. Although it is very beautiful here, the place is not overcrowded. You can start wonderful long walks or hikes directly from the cottage. We had a truly lovely time here.

Special home in a very special location

Dove Cottage, in the historic town of Winchcombe, has been lovingly restored to welcome its visitors. Within 2 blocks of Dove Cottage, visitors can find everything they need. Lots of opportunity for walks through the Cotswolds and opportunities to explore the fascinating history of the area. Bus service to places further afield is excellent, so day trips are easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

An art and countryside lover's paradise

This is a really lovely property set in the heart of charming Winchcombe but at the same time very secluded. The property is very well equipped and light and cosy even in the depths of winter (we stayed mid December), there are lots of lovely pubs and eating places within walking distance and easy access to Sudeley Castle and great country walks. And if you are an art-lover you are in paradise - with so much original artwork on the walls - a real treat.

Amazing Cottage

The Dove Cottage was absolutely perfect! We traveled from Texas to visit the town my great grandmother was born in. The home provided us a great space to fit 3 adults and 2 children. We had a beautiful sitting room to enjoy our family coming to visit from cheltenham. The cottage was filled with beautiful art and so much love. Loved the North Bakery close by.

Fabulous!

We stayed at Dove Cottage for 5 days but wished we could have stayed for longer. This accommodation was fantastic, lovely and clean, lovely art :) The location is perfect and the car park for a pound was literally a 5 minute walk at most so a bargain. It is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful village which we would recommend to anyone. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Katharine Bailey

Host profile image
Kate (the artist Katharine Dove) I live in Cheltenham andI spend my time painting, walking my dogs, travelling and playing tennis. My artwork is sold across the world through De Montfort Fine Art the Clarendon galleries. My paintings often feature the Cotswolds and Cornwalls, two places where I'm very much at home.

Why they chose this property

I was keen not just to have a holiday home but also to contribute to the local art community.

Dove cottage provided both a beautiful cottage and also a sitting room that doubles up as an art gallery from time to time. When not let as a holiday cottage it is a gallery for local artists to display their work. We are also hoping it will attract residencies, artists coming from all over the country to paint and display their work in the gallery while staying in the cottage. Different artists will be in the gallery each week working and displaying their art.

What makes this property unique

The opportunity to stay in a cottage that is not only beautiful but also showcases a unique variety of original art. The whole cottage will from time to time be used as a gallery and so the art on display will be changed regularly. The sitting room has a large inglenook fireplace with log burner.

For artists the unique benefit is the opportunity to stay in a property from which they can paint and also display and sell their work.

For other guests the cottage is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The rooms are spacious and everything is on your doorstep - butcher, baker (all the old fashioned high street shops) and many bars and restaurants.

Winchcombe is vibrant small town and the gallery fronts onto the Cotswold Way. All we have to do is open the front door to the gallery and we have lots of interested visitors..
