A wonderful place if you want to experience the English countryside. Close to lovely walks including the Long Walk in the Great Park and Savill Garden. Lots of food choices in nearby Englefield Green.

It was such fun to stay at the Gatehouse! There was plenty of room for my family of 5. The neighborhood was quiet with stores within 5-10 minutes of driving. We were 10 minutes from Windsor castle and 15 minutes from the train we took into London. Leslie was WONDERFUL!!! It was so fun to meet her. My daughter says to tell everyone that the dog and chickens are sweet. :)

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!
5.0
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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lovely Gatehouse on an impressive former Farm Estate. Enough privacy in combination with a very welcoming owner. We felt right at home.
Lovely area with the Windsor Great Park next door and the beautiful Savill Garden around the corner. Windsor Castle within 10 minutes, Londen City center 35 minutes by car or train. For golfers this is a location made in heaven, with Wentworth, Sunningdale and other magical courses in the neighborhood.

We had a great time in the gatehouse and Lesley made us feel very welcome. Our boys spent times with all the animals, a perfect plays to stay when you love the countryside and want to visit London and all the other interesting places.

the property was beautiful - private, extremely clean, short of nothing, spacious, lovely furniture, peaceful location, easy to find and in a great location for accessing surrounding areas in Surrey, Windsor, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Could not fault it.
Lesley the host/owner of the property is on hand if you need her but I doubt you ever would as everything is immaculate and in good order. Lesley is a lovely and welcoming person and we will most definitely return to stay at this property.

The cottage is situated in a wonderful part of Surrey on beautiful private grounds, surrounded by nature and close to all the interesting places to visit in the area. Walking distance from Windsor Great Park and the beautifully renovated and redecorated Savill Gardens Building.
It has everything you need, it is very clean and well maintained. Also very private and if you need anything Lesley is very uplifting and willing to be helpful in any way she can.
I felt comfortable (well equipped kitchen, nice bed and wonderful bath!) and safe in the cottage (being on my own) and the parking space for the car is also safely behind the gate.
The dining room has got a nice window looking out on the beautiful stable building on the courtyard (you cannot see that on the picture).
If you are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (especially high frequencies) then WiFi can be turned off and there are no mobile phones, DECT phones or other devices in the house that radiate those frequencies. Also nothing coming in from the outside. That was a life saver for me!
Dear Lesley, I'd like to thank you again for renting out your lovely cottage. Thanks for being there when I needed a little chat with a cup of tea :o)
I hope to come back in the future!
Warm greetings, Jolly

My wife, son and I had a very relaxing time at the Gatehouse, which was in a very peaceful setting but close enough to all amenities and access to main road and rail transport routes. Lesley was delightful and ready to help at any time. We would return again to enjoy this charming property.

We very much enjoyed our stay. It was for a family event but we were very pleased with being in such a quiet place yet so close to main roads and only a minute or two from Windsor Great Park.

An ideal property, well located for access to M25. The accommodation was clean, comfortable & quiet. The owners gave us a warm welcome & were keen to make sure we settled & happy to sort out any issues that might arise.
We stayed for 3 nights & enjoyed our stay so much so that we wouldn't hesitate to return.
5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay in the Gate House. The slightly unusual accommodation was presented to the highest standard of cleanliness and comfort.
Lesley provided a very warm welcome and was attentive throughout our stay.
The location is excellent being tucked away on a quiet lane with amenities close by for all your requirements.
If we were ever in the area in the future we would have no hesitation in booking this accommodation again.
