Detached Luxury Gatehouse in rural surroundings on a small country estate

In 2024 we are re-opening after the winter when the entire property was redecorated. It is therefore in pristine condition.

Before you read on, please note children must be 13 years and older. There is no flexibility on this. If children are in your group, please state their ages.

This property is built on 3 levels and has a lot of steep, narrow stairs so guests must be able-bodied.

You need a car as there is no public transport nearby - or else you can use taxis, Uber etc.

We accept up to 2 house-trained dogs which must be kept on leads to safeguard our livestock. When making an enquiry, please state breed.

A tastefully decorated spacious property with 2 bedrooms and one bathroom on a private, secure gated estate situated on a quiet lane. Approx. 1260 square feet. Lounge, separate dining room with wood burning stove, modern kitchen, bathroom, all presented to a high standard and furnished with a mixture of modern and antique furniture. Accommodation is set up for 4 guests. However, we can sleep 6 with the use of 2 chair beds. There is an extra charge for guests 5 and 6.

For gardening enthusiasts, we will be happy to show you our large and rather beautiful garden with our ducks on the pond. We are also happy to introduced you to the chickens and my parrots.

Lesley is a delightful and gracious hostess. Her property is splendid, showing the emaculate care she takes in its upkeep. It was truly a bit of English paradise tucked away from the nearby busy attractions. We loved our stay!

Great spot!
Lesley is, as many other guests have said, a fantastic host. Upon arrival she showed us the guest house and gave us the rundown. Our navigation system in the car stopped us about half a mile short of the farm, in the housing subdivision so consider carrying on into the farm land just beyond the smaller houses if yours does the same. Be prepared for a few stairs. Everything was clean, well kept, quiet with modern appliances, a nice eating area, living room upstairs, back bedrooms. Plenty of parking, easy to use gate clicker. Without doubt, we would stay again. And we would certainly head for supper at the Barley Mow up the road too!! Thanks for a great stay!

100-year-old gatehouse charm
We had a wonderful stay at this 100-year-old gatehouse property in England. The house is full of charm and history, and the host was very gracious and accommodating. The gatehouse is full of character and set on multiple levels. The main house where Lesley the host lives, is all part of this beautiful property and spacious grounds. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions and countryside and also not far from the train station and the village pub, which has superb food. You will need a car though. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

What a great property with so much character and charm! Lesley (the property owner) was an awesome host who made us feel as if we had been friends for years. And, she provided a bottle of wine when she greeted us upon arrival! The property is very convenient to Englefield Green, Egham, Windsor and London. From Egham Rail Station, it's easy to access central London, Wimbledon and the London suburbs. Englefield Green and Egham both have lots of places to eat and pretty places to stroll. Strolling around Lesley's garden and fields is a great way to start or finish your day. The property was just right for four adults; and, it's very convenient to Heathrow. We can't wait to return!

Vacation Base Camp
Charming and enchanting cottage. This cottage in Windsor is a great base to see much of England. We went all the way to Canterbury and Dover in a day-only to come back to a clean and quiet place to stay to rest. It is very easy to go to London on the train and you can easily drive on over to Stonehenge as well. Lesley is very accommodating and makes sure that you are very comfortable. The property is like a big garden overflowing with flowers. Getting into the heart of Windsor is only about a 5 minute drive-so easy! We did so many day trips from the cottage, and it was so nice to come back at night to a quiet and relaxing getaway. Highly recommend this place. I hope we can come back one day.

Lovely property with character plus plenty of space outside for our dog.
Great property and ideal for us as with have a dog that needs lots of exercise. Location excellent for Windsor and the Great Park (plus other areas in the vicinity). We stayed over the Easter weekend so didn’t want to travel too far. With Savill Gardens and the entrance to the Park just over a mile away (car needed), this was spot on for us. Good selection of restaurants nearby. The Fox & Hounds was ideal as it allowed dogs plus we could sit outside in their front garden. Food good also. Lesley was very helpful and on hand should we have needed it. Overall a peaceful and relaxing weekend we thoroughly enjoyed.

Magical Christmas Holiday
Everything about our visit was utterly exquisite. From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, we were treated with warmth, friendliness and a hospitality that would be extremely difficult to surpass. We were welcomed with open arms and throughout our stay, the owners were very attentive to our needs whilst not being at all intrusive. By the end of the holiday, it felt like we'd become part of the family. The layout of the Gatehouse makes it a unique, charismatic and really fun place to stay. The added magic of Christmas made it feel like we were in our very own romcom. The property is decorated beautifully and features all mod cons and is incredibly warm and cosy. We all agreed that we enjoyed some of the best sleep we'd experienced for a long time as the beds were extremely comfortable. Views from the upstairs rooms look straight out onto the fields and woodland. Nearby are many attractions of historic interest and natural beauty which make this property a must for anyone wanting to visit nearby Windsor Castle, Great Park and surrounding area. Thank you so much for making our Christmas amazing and for giving us lifelong memories of a beautiful holiday. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this property to anyone who is looking for something completely different and out of the ordinary.
