The Guest Cottage has a large garden to the front, with a lawn divided by a lavender-lined pathway leading down to Castle Road - the main road from Winchcombe across the Cotswolds to Stow-on-the-Wold. The garden has a table with seating for six, a parasol and barbecue (please provide your own charcoal). To the rear is a huge garden laid to lawn with a towering yew tree, herbaceous borders and deciduous woodland leading down to a small stream. To the side are outhouses, one private and one open for guests' use. At certain times of the year, neighbouring horses graze in the adjoining fields.

Parents of young children: please note that because the garden is big and rambling and has a small stream running along the border of the rear garden, young children should always be accompanied by an adult while in the garden.

Located in Cheltenham, this cottage is in a rural area. Cleeve Hill Golf Club and Naunton Downs Golf Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Cotswolds and Crickley Hill Country Park.
