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.

Lovely Gatehouse cottage near Virginia Water

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.

10/10 Excellent

Wonderfull stay at a beautifull property

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Bishop

Town Green Farm is my passion! I have lived here with my husband since 1997. Having retired from my equestrian pursuits, I decided to refurbish the Gatehouse to a high standard and begin self-catering rentals.

I call myself the 'estate manager' so I am on hand if you need information, help, or perish the thought, if something stops working (rare). Please read our reviews which will tell you more about me.

Why they chose this property

This quiet, private location is a rarity. You will think you are staying in the country. Yet we are very convenient as a base to explore London or many of the tourist attractions in the south of UK. Windsor Great Park is just a couple of minutes drive away and Windsor itself is about 10 minutes.
We are also close to many important sporting events inc. racing at Ascot, Henley, Smiths Lawn Polo, Wentworth and Sunningdale golf.

What makes this property unique

A rural location away from the rat race, yet with easy access to London (Waterloo - 34 mins), and the M25/M3/M4/M40. Heathrow Airport is a mere 8 miles away.
