St. Kenelm is an apartment that was completely refurbished in February 2017, including a new kitchen, bathroom, and soft furnishings throughout. The apartment was restored from a paper mill to make spectacular accommodation with exposed stone walls and original beams. It is named after St Kenelm, who was a member of the royal family of Mercia, a boy king and martyr, who was murdered by an ambitious relative, and his body was transported by the Monks of Winchcombe to become a major shrine.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Downstairs comprises of an open-plan lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, and the apartment boasts views over the nearby river and cottage courtyard.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms. One double bedroom and two single rooms, perfect for friends sharing or children who prefer having some privacy!

Note: due to the number of steps, this property is not suitable for guests with mobility problems.

Please note the apartment entrance is on the first floor up a flight of external stairs. Then there are internal stairs leading up to the apartment.

Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
A bright, well-lit open plan area makes up the first floor of St Kenelm. Comfortable sofa seating for 4, coffee table, Freeview TV and DVD player, and a good-size dining table and bench seating for 4.

The kitchen is complete with a Neff cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, Russel Hobbs toaster + kettle, and Nespresso coffee machine.

Second Floor

Please note that there are steep stairs leading up to the bedrooms and bathroom.

    On entry to the building the cleanliness was very poor, on entry to the apartment we found multiple cobwebs on windows and Louvre sky lights, just lazy cleaning in our opinion. Clients asked to clear rubbish, strip beds, vacuum, and tidy towels in order to assist cleaners. We assume the allows more time for cleaning but this is not indicated inn St Kinelmn apartment. This is our 6th annual trip to the Cotswolds and the most disappointing accommodation

    This was our first stay in Sudeley Castle cottages and found it to be an excellent facility for daily commuting to Cheltenham Racecourse and for evening dining options in Winchcombe. Property standards and condition excellent. We will be staying again next year but in an alternative property, on the estate, having found St Kenelm already taken. The ease of booking and notification details from Bolthole Retreats were first class.

    While for the most part the property was clean and comfortable it’s showing signs of wear and tear, dated decor and poor maintenance. Perhaps the most important is that the lights on the stairs and landing didn’t work. This is a serious health and safety hazard and the property should not be let again until remedied. The carpet was stained in places, and while creaking floorboards might be expected in an older property, squeaky hinges and the all the doors aren’t acceptable, when a can of oil is all it takes. On the upside, the location is great and it was good value for money.

    Had a great time at St Kenelm, property had tons of character and was perfect for a family of four for an extended stay. The village is amazing, and so close to walk to.

    Terrible smell inside the fridge so had to clean with antibacterial wipes, poorly maintained (missing tap covers, no privacy film on panel next to toilet, lots of small easy fixable issues) and absolutely full of flies. Left early and emailed company- their response was….thanks for letting us know!

    We enjoyed a visit to the Cotswolds, staying at St Kenelm apartment in the grounds of Sudeley Castle. Well located, comfortable accommodation, with the benefit of free entry to Sudeley Castle during our stay. Very handy to be on the outskirts of the village of Winchcombe and had a very tasty meal at Winchcombe Restaurant (Indian cuisine).

    Our flight to London from the US was delayed for twelve hours, so it was 2:00 am by the time we reached Winchcombe and our accommodations at the Sudeley Castle Cottages. I was able to communicate with the management, and we were blessed to locate, enter and settle into our cottage with no hassle. A great blessing for weary travellers in the middle of the night! Beautiful and convenient location!

    It seemed like the perfect combination. A desire to re visit Sudeley Castle and to stay at Sudeley Castle Cottages, which is only a short walk through glorious countryside to the castle. Specifically thinking about St Kenelm which was spacious, comforting and very clean, it had everything we needed for our accommodation. The fixtures, fittings and furniture are of an extremely high standard and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering staying there. The castle itself was a ten minute walk and pubs in Winchcombe were a mere five minute stroll! (The White Hart was particularly good). An excellent weekend was had by all.

    We had a lovely stay in May, but I am not sure if it would be lovely all year round. The bedrooms, which are right under the roof, were very warm - in high summer they would be extremely hot. There were also an awful lot of stairs! But apart from that, the apartment was very clean and well furnished; the kitchen was also very well equipped. It's a short stroll into town with some very good eateries and shops and a beautiful walk across to Sudeley Castle. We would definitely consider staying here again, especially as there's plenty of parking, which my husband considers to be essential.

    We stayed here whilst working at Sudeley Castle for a couple of days and it was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, cozy and a brilliant price. All the amenities you could need, a lovely quiet location, plenty of parking. We loved it.
