Court House Cottage

Blakeney 1.6 miles.

Court House Cottage is a charming, historic retreat situated in the hamlet of Gatcombe, Gloucestershire, offering delightful views of the ever-changing River Severn.

This pet-friendly haven, located in a wooded valley, is perfect for families or friends seeking a serene escape, with its character, inviting atmosphere and picturesque surroundings promising a memorable stay.

Nearby is Drake’s House, where Sir Francis Drake is believed to have lodged while obtaining forest timber for the fleet.

From Gatcombe there are walks along the Severn, the cottage is close to a recently restored section of the Severn Way offering fantastic views.

Beyond the doors, you'll be warmly welcomed by the living area where you can take the weight off your feet and enjoy some evening television while the crackling ambers from the wood burning stove keep you nice and toasty.

For mealtimes, utilise the kitchen which has plenty of appliances for you to whip up your signature dishes!

Gather round the dining table to enjoy these creations and plan what is next on your holiday.

When it's time to retire for the evening, head upstairs to the two inviting bedrooms.

The first has a spacious super-king-size bed and offers a tranquil space to rest after a day of exploration.

The second bedroom is a flexible twin room, which can be converted into a super-king-size on request, making it ideal for all types of groups.

Both rooms are served by a stylish shower room where you can enjoy a steamy rinse to unwind after a day of adventures.

Outside, the enclosed front patio provides a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink, with the added benefit of outdoor furniture.

If you manage to pull yourself away from the inviting confines of the Court House Cottage, a treasure trove of attractions are waiting to be discovered; animal lovers will delight in a visit to WWT Slimbridge, an internationally-recognised reserve, teeming with an array of fascinating bird species.
