• "Great warm cottage and well located for visiting Cotswolds towns and villages."

  Lovely walks from the doorstep though the small, historic town and beautiful countryside plus a few doors away from a welcoming pub serving delicious pub food.

• "The downstairs toilet."

  Flush mechanism jammed sometimes

  Thank you for letting me know about the toilet mechanism. Our plumber will be replacing it next week and it should not be a problem for future guests. Property Owner

  We enjoyed our stay immensely, it was so clean, bright, comfortable and in a great location. We had everything we needed which is especially helpful as we were overseas visitors. The parking at the Back Lane car park was easy and convenient. I would book this property again if in the area.

• "We loved staying here."

  The accommodation was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. It is in a great location for walking parts of the Cotswold Way, and the town and locality are beautiful.

• "This listing is fabulous."

  I booked it as a base for walking the first half of the Cotswold Way Walk. It's convenient to sufficient amenities in Winchcombe where there re nice pubs, a mini market (opposite the listing) and lovely shops. We were a group of four walkers yet the listing will easily accommodate six people as advertised as there is plenty of room. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a bottle of wine, biscuits and milk. A real nice touch from the owner Helen. Thank you. I can't recommend this property enough if you want a base to explore the Cotswolds.

• "I came to stay at the Post Master’s Lodgings with my son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters who had just arrived over from Japan."

  The Post Master’s Lodgings is in the centre of Winchcombe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was warm, clean and very comfortable. The open plan kitchen sitting room was spacious light and airy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. We loved the outlook over the streets and rooftops of Winchcombe from the bedroom windows. We found Winchcombe a delightful place to be in - full of history and interesting shops. Winchcombe is an also a good centre from which to visit the Cotswolds and Cheltenham. We did not find the lack of parking a problem. The short walk to the public car park was not too far or too inconvenient. It was good to stay in a place that had history and character and I can recommend The Post Master’s Lodgings.

  Dear Joan I'm delighted to read that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the Postmaster's Lodging. I don't think that you had any issues with the property, you probably just missed ticking the facilities and manitenance box on your feedback form, resulting in our getting a poor score for this! I'm sure you didn't mean to give us a bad score. Hopefully potential new guests will see that we pride ourselves on ensuring that the property is as perfect as possible for each new set of visitors.

  The accommodation was modern and in good order. It was spotlessly clean and smelled amazingly when we opened the door. All the beds were comfy and had beautiful white crisp bed linen. Situated in the centre of the village, amenities were close by as was inexpensive car parking.

• "The property is in a perfect position and spotlessly clean."

  It is very tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. We would assure any potential guests that although on a main road it is vey quiet at night and in the day you do feel part of the community. Parking in the library car park is no problem at all: plenty of spaces and £1 for 24 hours. We’ve been visiting Winchcombe for many years and this is now our favourite place to stay. The bottle of wine was very welcome - thank-you.

  Welcoming, clean, well decorated, good location (if you don’t want to be in the town don’t go!), and well appointed. The slight inconvenience of the parking is beyond anyone’s control as is the fact that there are early morning deliveries to the shop opposite. Hope to return.

• "We had a fantastic week at the Postmaster's Lodging."

  It was very well equipped, and the extra touches were lovely, in particular - wine and biscuits. The kitchen had everything we needed and the soap, toilet rolls and 2 towels each were very much appreciated. The beds were enormous and very comfortable. The owners seemed to have thought of everything. The position of the property was exactly what we were hoping for, lovely places to eat out and also good takeaways as well as the facilities to cook the occasional meal to eat in. The walks were fabulous and the views breathtaking. It's one of the prettiest places we've stayed in. Parking wasn't a problem at all, we parked on the pay and display carpark near the library and then paid online each day (£1 per day). We fully recommend staying in Winchcombe and definitely at the Postmaster's lodging.

  Bedroom options super idea with full flexibility of doubles or twins in all rooms. Parking not ideal but only a short walk away and only £1.25 for 24hours using the app. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to visit Winchcombe.

• "Postmaster's Lodgings was a beautiful property, very well presented with some welcoming touches on our arrival."

  The wine, biscuits and milk were gratefully received. My twin boys did find the smallest bedroom difficult to share, so would have benefitted from the larger bedroom being converted into a twin, but no one realised that all my boys are closer in stature to men than children! I would say it would have been helpful to have some simple instructions to operate the oven as a manual with numerous operating details proved unhelpful when arriving with a hungry family. By the time we left I still didn't understand how on the 2 occasions I'd got the oven on, what it was that had finally brought success! One other thing to bear in mind is that in choosing such a central location in the heart of a popular town, noise levels are to be endured. For this reason only, I would look for a quieter location for future holidays.

  Excellant location, comfortable & well equiped. Having three super kingsize beds was perfect for us. The parking was a short walk away & if you use the Ringo App very easy to pay the £1.20 daily charge & extend it. We never used the car during our stay as plenty to do for the 3 days with steam train to Cheltenham, 8 mile walk taking in Roman mosaic, ancient long barrow & disused water Mill. Very comfortable for relaxing & catching up with friends.

  The shop opposite was handy for daily supplies and there’s lots of good pubs for eating out. - we tried nearly all of them and were never disappointed. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. It suited us (two couples) perfectly. We had hot sunny weather and spent all day walking. Each morning we closed the blinds and returned each afternoon to cool rooms. It would have been very warm if the sun shone in all day. We had a great holiday there.

  The living area is both spacious, light and airy. The kitchen is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. All three bedrooms had been made up as doubles as we had requested. During our week in Winchcombe we were blessed with some of the hottest weather of the year. The master bedroom did become unbearably hot during this period but the owner Helen was quick off the mark in providing a cooling fan upon request. 10 out of 10.

  The views from the windows at the back of the house are stunning. Winchcombe is a delightful town, it feels unspoilt by tourism yet there are plenty of good restaurants and the parking is so easy.

We were able to pull up right outside the property to unpack and pack our luggage. The Coop and Deli opposite we’re able to supply everything we needed on the occasions we cooked in the immaculate kitchen. We have already recommended this property to several of our friends.
