The simple and traditional red brick exterior of Chestnut Cottage hides a beautifully stylish and modern interior, where contemporary styling and thoughtful furnishings have created a sophisticated and welcoming rural retreat. Lying in the beautiful countryside within walking distance of Winchcombe’s medieval charms, this delightful property sleeps four guests in two spacious king-size bedrooms. With a fabulous bathroom including a standalone bathtub, plenty of parking and a peaceful terrace to the rear, this is the perfect place from which to explore the Cotswolds.

Quiet and peaceful

We found Chestnut Cottage to be a delightful place to stay. Both the cottage and grounds were beautiful and well maintained.

You can tell these owners have put a lot of thought into making this the best experience. The decor is lovely and, whereas many cottages only put in the absolute basics, the attention to detail with all the appliances, storage and soft furnishings is much better here. Even the hairdryer was good quality; something you can rarely count on when you go away. The location is fabulous, just a lovely short walk into Winchcombe to a dog-friendly pub, our pup absolutely loved his holiday. The only very minor things to mention were that the window on the far side of the cottage seemed to have a failed seal and lots of flies were getting in, but we were able to cover it up for the duration of our stay easily enough. We also couldn’t seem to find a clothes horse (although we may not have been looking hard enough) and that would have been useful for things that were not tumble dryer friendly, but the heated towel rail helped a lot. The bathroom especially was absolutely lovely. All in all a wonderful experience

We loved Chestnut Cottage. We had a lovely 4 nights. The property is beautifully decorated, homely and in a great location. Great walks and a good field for our dog. We would definitely recommend and would really love to return. We can’t fault anything!

Met up with my friend for a week at Chesnut Cottage and we absolutely loved it. The house is very spacious and very well presented and had everything we needed. The location is fabulous - so quiet but equally so close to everything. The whole experience from booking to leaving at the end of the holiday was smooth and issue free. We will definitely be returning!



The perfect retreat!

Chestnut Cottage was perfect in every way! We loved our stay and everything about it exceeded our expectations! It is lovely to have luxury dog friendly accommodation. With walks straight from the cottage, we hardly used our car for the whole week. We will definitely book with Bolthole Retreats again and recommend to friends and family.

Chestnut cottage was absolutely delightful. Was of a very high standard and very well equipped. We had booked for a long weekend to attend the Fantasy Forest Festival at Sudely Castle. The location of the cottage was excellent and very private. The cleanliness was first class. The kitchen was very well equipped. The bathroom was superb and made me have "bathroom envy". The furnishing were of top quality and the owners had put a lot of effort into even the smallest of details to make the cottage feel luxurious as well as cosy and welcoming. I would definitely stay at Chestnut Cottage again and would highly recommend.

Generally all round very accommodating. Lovely farm eggs, good parking. Lovely peaceful atmosphere. Only complaint is you need to update your TV software, Lots of channels weren't on the TV. It didn't spoil the holiday.

We had an excellent long weekend stay at Chestnut Cottage. The property was lovely, with no expense spared on the interior and the amenities there.

The location was also great, and within easy reach of nearby places such as Winchcombe and Cheltenham.

The hosts were also available when needed, with help given straight away when struggling with the entry code.

Would definitely recommend.

The property is absolutely gorgeous (and I'm fussy). All finished to a high spec. The bed was super comfortable with luxurious bedding. The grounds and setting was so relaxing. Winchcombe is a gem - absolutely delightful. I loved it all and will return.

My friend and I spent just under a week at Chestnut cottage… was an absolutely lovely experience… if you are looking for a remote getaway in a stunning setting then this is the place… lots of little luxuries and the property is finished to really high specification…

The bathroom was my favourite room and I spent a lot of time in there!

My only suggestion would be to have some cleaning products for the guests as there was only washing up liquid, but surface spray, bleach, hoover would be appreciated… although the owners did let me use a hoover upon request…

We also had a problem with the hot water on one of the days and the owners were straight over to help and the problem was fixed and plumber was out straight away so felt really supported during our stay…

Would definitely recommend… thank you so much for a lovely stay x

Very nice accommodation. It had a great filed for children and dog to play in. Only thing of note is that there is a small stretch of road (approx 0.3 miles) that has no pavement if you wanted to walk into town. We made it work but might be an issue for some.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The only thing that could be improved is signage. We went down the wrong turning as we followed the satnav and it added about an hour on our drive! As it was all back roads, cows and sheep! No signage. If there was a sign at the entrance of the road it would have saved a lot of stress. The cottage is great, warm and cosy. Beautiful surroundings. The bathroom is amazing with underfloor heating. To eat you need to drive. So I wouldn't recommend it if you were hoping to travel there by train unless you didn't mind taxis to supermarkets or pubs, ect. We would stay again.

Dear Isabella, Thank you for your review and feedback on your stay at Chestnut Cottage. We're pleased to read that you enjoyed your time there. We appreciate your thoughts on finding the property and will pass on your comments with regard to the signage to the owners for their reference. The town of Winchcombe is around a 20-minute walk from the cottage, although a torch is recommended for the walk back! Thank you again, we hope we can welcome you back to the Cotswolds again very soon. Kind regards Bolthole Retreats

Would highly recommend. The property is finished to a high standard very clean and well maintained. Our only constructive feedback would be to have a hoover in the property, we have two young children so it would have been great to be able to clean up a bit more ourselves.

Chestnut Cottage is one of 3 cottages located within the grounds of Postlip House. The grounds are quintessential English country house and are beautifully maintained. This follows through to the cottages. Chestnut Cottage was decorated and furnished to a very high standard, with quality fixtures and fittings. The 2 bedrooms are very comfortably furnished, with the beds being super comfortable. The bathroom is gorgeous - a large shower and a wonderful freestanding bath. The kitchen has quality Siemens appliances and is well equipped for 4. Sitting room is very stylish in a mid century style. Outside is a substantial (heavy!) wooden table and chairs. The patio is paved and enclosed. Everything has been done to a high standard and I’d not hesitate to recommend it.
Winchcombe itself is a typical Cotswold market town with a good selection of shops and pubs. Recommend the White Hart Inn for food and service. It’s within walking distance but not on the main road as it’s quite busy. However, parking (in June) easy and cheap/free.

Newly refurbished property, finished to a high standard. Stylishly and comfortably furnished. Quiet and peaceful area. Overlooks a large, fenced grass area at the back which is great for the dog. Excellent location to explore the Cotswolds. Only a short walk from Winchcombe. Lovely place to relax and unwind.
