Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This period cottage, set within the grounds of a 15th-century castle fringing Winchcombe, has some impressive royal connections. Named after Queen Elizabeth I, who favoured the castle as a young princess, there’s heaps of history to uncover here. And luckily for you, there’s free entry to the castle and award-winning gardens included in your stay. It’s worth noting that if four of you stay, the living space will feel a little snug. However, there’s a private courtyard overlooking the woodlands to spill out into for alfresco mealtimes. Don’t fancy cooking? Winchcombe’s charming inns and tearooms are just a stroll away.
