London & Cotswolds Vacation

- in partnership with Elite Connections

Three nights enjoying the delights of London, then stay in the heart of the Cotswolds in your own cottage.

Built between 1488 and 1525, The George Inn was the centre of the ancient Saxon town of Winchcombe, capital of Mercia.

Your cottage is part of that ancient inn which has one of only three surviving galleries in England.

 

  • 3 bedrooms (one with 4 poster bed), sleeps 6.
  • 2 Bathrooms.
  • Large vaulted lounge.
  • Modern facilities.
  • TV & Video.
  • Broadway 6 miles away.
  • Cheltenham 7 miles away.
  • Stratford 30 mins away.
  • Stow-on-the-Wold 20 mins away.
  • Next to Sudeley Castle (home of Katherine Parr)

Your own driver/guide to escort and transport you around the Cotswolds at your leisure.

Although self-catering, there is no need for chores as Winchcombe has an abundance of bistros, tea rooms and 6 inns serving traditional country fare - all on your doorstep.
