Description from owner

Description

The Victorian Lodge (1876) is a charming and quintessentially English country cottage on a private estate once owned by King Henry 8th. It sits at the entrance of a long driveway leading to the Little Dower House, the enchanting home where the owners of the Lodge live.

For smaller families wishing to stay at the Lodge, there is also the option to rent the Little Hideaway at Little Dower House, a newly finished two storey studio which sleeps two to four adults. The Little Hideaway is a secluded and rustic retreat which makes for the perfect getaway.

The Cottage is set on a quiet country road, directly opposite the magnificent Windsor Great Park, with spectacular views of Windsor Castle.

It's a super warm, super cosy cottage, with a lovely garden in a unique location, on a quiet and private estate of four houses. With private parking, polo ponies in the field opposite the Lodge, great walks, great pubs, Windsor, Thorpe Park and LEGOLAND just nearby, and central London only 35 minutes away by train.

The Lodge is only 5 minutes from an entrance into the Great Park, where you can walk forever, bike ride, horse ride, or just sit by one of the enormous lakes and lap up some of the stunning views. Take a walk in the famous Valley or Savill Gardens, watch a few chukkas being played at Guards Polo ground or take a ride on one of our own retired polo ponies instead, by prior arrangement.

There is a traditional English pub only 5 minutes away, The Fox and Hounds in Englefield Green , situated by the Bishops Gate entrance into the Great Park , serving simply wonderful restaurant food and great pub food. It's the perfect place, and great for lunch, dinner, a snack or a BBQ, and a well earned rest after a walk in the Park.

The Lodge has everything you should need, with Sky+ satellite television, high speed Wi-Fi internet, DVD, and a roaring log fire in the sitting room. A Queen size Master bedroom has an adjoining bathroom, a second bedroom with new twin beds that can join to make a King size bed, a study / third bedroom with a double sofa bed, and two travel cots and two fold out single beds if also needed. The second bathroom has a bath and power shower, and the utility room has a washing machine, dishwasher. microwave and tumble dryer.

.

We live up the long driveway, so we're only 2 minutes away and here to help in any way at any time, whilst you are there or away, but we're always very respectful of your privacy.

“Lovely Rural Cottage”

Reviewed 5 Aug 2019

The lovely Victorian lodge was beautifully appointed and immaculate and provided our family with a great week’s holiday base for enjoying the sights of Windsor. A short walk from Great Windsor Park where we spent time every day. Just as nice to stay at home and enjoy the rural views, garden and outdoor dining setting. Hamish was a great host and knowledgeable about the area.
