Bumblebee Cottage - a 19th Century Cottage in Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Enjoy a cosy retreat in this 19th Century cottage located in the charming village of Gaddesden Row in the idyllic English countryside. Sleeps 6 (can accommodate 8 but please contact before booking for details). It’s the perfect place to unwind in front of the gas fireplace or outside in the beautiful garden overlooking the horse paddock. You can create wonderful meals cooking in the large and fully equipped kitchen.

Gaddesden Row is a quiet hamlet and there are lots of cycling and country walking routes nearby. It is close to many National Trust properties including Ashridge Forest and Ivinghoe Beacon.

The cottage is within easy reach of Berkhamsted, St. Albans and London, and is just a twenty minute drive from Luton Airport. It’s also a short drive to Harry Potter World.

At the entrance to the cottage there is an intimate patio area which catches the morning and early afternoon sun - perfect for sipping coffee or tea. Or maybe a cocktail.

On the ground floor there is a comfortable living room with a gas fireplace, which leads into the dining room. At the back of the cottage is a large fully equipped kitchen with sliding doors leading out to the peaceful garden.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The master bedroom overlooks the garden and the fields and has a fantastic Super King sized bed and a wardrobe.
The second bedroom can be set up as a twin room or a double and has a chest of drawers and a wardrobe.
The bathroom has a large bath and separate shower, along with plenty of cupboard space.

On the second floor is the lovely attic twin bedroom with the best view in the house.

Stair gates, a cot and high chair are available upon request.

We have lived in the area for over thirty years(it’s so beautiful we never want to leave) so do not hesitate to ask us anything.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Frithsden Vineyard. You'll find features like a spa tub. The cottage offers a kitchen and a washer/dryer.

Cosy cottage
A cosy cottage in quiet location. Perfect for visiting Whipsnade zoo and Harry Potter studios. Had everything we needed for a short stay. Only negative was the parking as it was difficult to find a space on the very narrow lanes.

Family visit
Oldie worldie country cottage. Comfotable beds and plenty of towels and other toiletries etc. Everything you needed was there. Wifi and TV good reception. Lovely exterior view over field with horses, deer and plenty of birdlife. If you have more than one car parking may be an issue.

Easter at BumbleBee Cottage
A beautifully quant cottage, with all the facilities needed for a lovely family Easter visit. Amazing countryside location, quiet yet near facilities of Berkhamstead, Tring and Hemel Hempstead. BumbleBee Cottage is compact but never felt small - even when hosting Easter Sunday roast for parents. Bedrooms lovely and comfortable. We’ll themed throughout - can you spot all of them?

Beautiful surroundings
Finding this gem is a bit of a challenge, especially for a new-to-England-driver, but the accommodation is nice, well-outfitted, very clean and comfortable on all counts. It was really nice to be a bit removed from the city / town and a great place for a retreat.

Short stay in Herts
Lovely terraced property, well appointed and stocked and adequate space for 5. We especially enjoyed the visit for the horses in the field at the back of the house. Great location for exploring and easy access to London. Parking is difficult, although with some creativity we always managed to find a space.
