Gorgeous Country Cottage, beside Windsor Great Park & overlooking Windsor Castle

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

The private gardens and stunning view at the Victorian Lodge provide the perfect setting for a small intimate wedding. Whilst the romantic gardens within the Little Dower House estate provide an ideal venue for larger weddings.
The space
For larger families staying at the Victorian Lodge there is also the opportunity to rent the Little Hideaway. This magical and charming getaway sits alongside Little Dower House, two minutes away up the drive. The Little Hideaway is a newly finished two story studio which sleeps two to four adults.

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

The area is great for families, country lovers, wildlife spotters, townies, food lovers, riders, polo players, golfers and walkers too.

It's a super warm and cosy cottage, with secluded wrap-around gardens in a unique location, on a quiet and private estate of four houses. With private parking, long walks, great pubs, Windsor, Thorpe Park and LEGOLAND just nearby, and central London only 35 minutes away by train.

The Cottage is only 5 minutes away from the Bishops Gate entrance into Windsor 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 ponies through ancient woodland with Tally Ho Stables.

There is a traditional English pub a 5 minute drive away, The Fox and Hounds in Englefield Green. The pub is situated by the Bishops Gate entrance into Windsor Great Park , serving simply wonderful light bites, great pub food and smart restaurant food. It's the perfect place 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 Netflix, Sky+ satellite television, fibre optic 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 small 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 can provide two road bicycles for free ( upon request ) for as long as you like. explore the beautiful local area, cycle through the 4000 acre Windsor Great Park on the road trails through the heart of it, or explore the surrounding towns by country road
