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

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 (www.littledowerhouse.com) the enchanting home where Susie and Hamish the owners of the Lodge live.

I hope you will read the amazing reviews our lovely guests have written about their stays here in our Cottage :)

The Victorian Lodge with it's lovely garden and stunning views provides the perfect setting for a small intimate Wedding, whilst the romantic and enchanting gardens at Little Dower House also provide an ideal venue for larger weddings.

For larger families wishing to stay at the Lodge, there is also the opportunity to rent the Little Hideaway at Little Dower House, a beautifully furnished two story studio apartment, with a kitchen and shower room downstairs, and one large room upstairs which serves as both bedroom and sitting room. It sleeps two adults, and up to two children. The Little Hideaway is a secluded and super romantic retreat which makes for the perfect getaway.

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

We can provide two road bicycles for free ( upon request ) for as long as you like. explore the beautiful local area, cycle through the 400 acre Windsor Great Park on the road trails through the heart of it, or explore the surrounding towns by country road

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 and Heathrow airport 20 minutes away by car.

The Cottage is only 5 minutes away from the Bishops Gate 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 in Windsor Great Park from a horse at Tally Ho stables 5 minutes away.


There is a traditional and excellent 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 light bites, great pub food and smart restaurant 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+ HD satellite and all the Sky channels including Movies and Sports, and Smart Television with Netflix and Amazon Prime, 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 large Super King size bed which can separate to form twin beds , a third bedroom with a double bed, and two travel cots and fold a 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.

Beautiful cottage and area!
If you want the experience the real English feel, this is it. A lovely cottage where Miss Marple truly would feel at home. We were welcomed by very hospitable owners who really cared about their cottage. In a lovely area, with lots to see and lots to do and only 5 min. from Windsor Great Park. We saw a herd of more than a hundred dear, amazing! We hope definitely to go back one day.

Lovely lodge, really kind host
We had a lovely week in this lovely victorian lodge with big garden. The lodge Is best for 5 to 6 persons. The third bedroom is smaller than the other two. Our host, Hamish, was really kind and attentive. He can give you perfect advise where to go and how. You can easily visit London from here by train starting at Egham to London Waterloo. The surroundings are great. We didn’t walk ‘the long walk’ but we did a small part of it and had excellent view from the statue (Copper Horse Statue of King George III) to the Long Walk. Windsor was very crowded because of the marriage of Harry and Meghan in May. If you want to go by car, take coins with you if you’re not English. The machine doesn’t accept international cards.

The most magical trip EVER!
I am not sure where to begin, but our stay at the Victorian Lodge in Windsor was absolutely amazing. Hamish was a wonderful host, and we could've stayed forever. There is something special about being in the English countryside, and our stay at the Lodge almost felt like we were inside of a storybook. If you want to be close to London/Windsor, but away from the crowds and the noise, you will not regret staying here. We had no issues getting food delivered, or getting rides to/from the lodge. Also, the beds were so comfortable. If/when we come back to England, we will definitely be staying here! Thank you Hamish & Susie, for everything!

Quintessentially English country cottage
This is a special place with an amazing view of Windsor Castle and excellent proximity to Windsor Great Park & the Long Walk. It’s everything you would imagine an English cottage to be! It’s inviting and comfortable - my family and I felt at home as soon as we walked through the cute French doors. All the rooms are wonderfully appointed. It’s a well-stocked cottage that comfortably slept my family of five. The gardens surrounding the property and the back patio are the perfect setting for relaxing, enjoying the view of Windsor Castle/countryside and daydreaming with a cup of tea and some biscuits.

Perfect
All the glowing reviews of this property are correct. It is just perfect. Hamish was so very personable and helpful. We originally planned a day in London but instead spent an additional day around Windsor. The house was everything we were hoping to find on our holiday. My elderly father stayed and watched TV and napped with the windows of the cottage open while we went out. We all enjoyed our time there.

WOW!!!!
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about our stay with Hamish and Susie! This was BY FAR the best VRBO we ever have stayed in. There was not one detail missed. It was very well maintained, clean, beautiful location, the grounds were gorgeous and the host were next level helpful. The communication was 10 stars! We have 4 very large boys all over 6’3 and they were very comfortable in the beds. There were so many extras that made our trip easy. A beautiful welcome basket filled with snacks and drinks, toiletries, blow dryer, washing machine. This place has it all. My husband and I CANNOT wait to come back and visit. Next time for longer! Thank you so much, Hamish and Susie! You helped make our first trip to the UK an unforgettable, beautiful experience.

Christmas break 2023
Stayed at the lodge for a short break. Ideally located for Lapland UK and Windsor Castle. Hamish and Susie were great hosts, excellent communication and welcome when we arrived. The property is nice and cosy, well equipped and with a a good size garden if you have a 4 legged friend. Right on the doorstep of Windsor Great Park for walks. Hamish's stories of the Royals and a very famous 'Neighbour' were great, he had us enthralled from the moment we arrived. I must say also that the welcome pack was one of the best we have ever had, very generous thank you. Overall a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend. Many thanks.

Home away from home
This cottage hits all the marks. It’s a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy nature around you but only an Uber ride into town, which was so easy and always available. Hamish and Susie were stellar host and always available if and when needed. The cottage felt like home immediately and you can’t beat that view of Windsor Castle. Hamish met us upon arrival, showed us around and went above and beyond to get us settled. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to be while on holiday.

Magical Stay in Windsor
I hesitate to say too much about how amazing this property is because I want it to be available the next time we stay in Windsor! Hamish and Susan MacMillan were terrific hosts. The cottage is a real gem. It is charming, beautifully furnished and extremely clean. We were welcomed with fresh cut flowers and a well stocked and furnished kitchen. We were very grateful for the "Welcome Basket" complete with a bottle of wine, crackers, cheese, farm fresh eggs, chocolate, cookies, milk, etc. Everything you would need before you can make to the store. The location is perfect and the grounds have wonderful gardens and outstanding views of Windsor Castle across a flower filled Meadow. There are many good restaurants and pubs nearby, Hamish was very helpful with recommendations. I had better stop now or it will be fully booked when I want to come stay again which I hope will be very very soon!

Trip to Windsor/Bray
This was a trip for my husband's 50th and we travelled with my Mum and our sausage dog. It was a great celebration weekend. The cottage is very conveniently located less than 20 minutes from Bray where we had reservations at the Waterside Inn,15 minutes from Windsor and 5 minutes from Old Windsor where there was a Co-op a couple of restaurants and a farm shop that had good food and was a nice cafe for coffee and cake. The cottage was great, the beds were very comfy with lovely linen. The TV had Sky. The kitchen had everything you could need to self cater including loads of basics such as butter, oil, maple syrup, mustard that not all self catering cottages supply. The welcome pack was extremely generous cheese, crisps, wine, bread, jams, coffee, tea, biscuits and chocolates that we swore we wouldn't eat, but we opened the lot and thoroughly enjoyed them! Opposite the cottage was a field owned by Hamish and Susie that we could use to walk the dog which was a bonus. There was also a sizeable garden with the property. The garden isn't secure so we had to keep our dog on a lead as he has no recall - but that wasn't a problem. Hamish was lovely helpful in introducing us to the cottage and how everything worked and informative on the local area which carparks to use etc. We all thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay and would highly recommend the property.

Amazing Cottage, Reserve with Confidence
Reserve the Victorian Lodge cottage with confidence! Our hosts, Hamish and Susie, made us feel welcome and at home on arrival. The welcome basket was lovely! We had several busy days, so our family of 5 enjoyed relaxing in the living room and other areas of this spacious cottage. The kitchen, laundry, bathrooms and other areas of the cottage had all the items we needed and more for our two weeks stay! Each bedroom was comfortable and having two bathrooms was extremely convenient. Outside, the gardens were beautiful and perfect for enjoying the view of Windsor Castle and the sunsets in the evening. The recommendation by Hamish of the Fox and Hounds pub close by was wonderful with a charming atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food! We are thrilled with our choice to stay at the Victorian Lodge and we have many wonderful memories from our visit. Thank you again, Hamish and Susie, for your warm hospitality and amazing cottage! We hope to return some day!

In a word, Extraordinary!
This country cottage is perfect in every way. Our family of 5, including 3 young adult children 18-22, had plenty of space and enjoyed every minute being in the Old Windsor countryside. Hamish and Susie are incredible hosts, and offered great suggestions for local pubs and activities. We especially enjoyed nearby access to walking trails in Great Windsor Park including the Long Walk to the castle and town. Incredible sunsets from the kitchen window of the cottage each night, overlooking Winsdor Castle. We highly recommended this setting for a family vacation!!
