The Cottage was a great base for exploring Windsor, London and of course antique shopping. It was a quiet sanctuary after a long day and provided all of the amenities for a comfortable stay. The host was awesome and answered all of our questions. Traffic from the road was a bit noisy but not too bad. The garden was lovely and private with lots of charm and nature. Views from the house to Windsor Castle were beautiful. Location was great offering many dining and shopping options.

Amazing Cottage

Our stay was absolutely awesome! We were visiting from USA and spent a few nights in Windsor with our parents. Our time together was great- the cottage is perfect for 2 families. We cooked, played games, visited great places in town. We had a lovely time! Thank you xoxo

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

We can't say enough about this lovely house & spectacular property! It is so relaxing with wonderful views - especially, but not limited to, of Windsor Castle! Hamish & Susie are very welcoming & provided a lot of local info. They were always quick to respond to texts & emails. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful Victorian Lodge experience

Hamish and Susie were great hosts. Hamish met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the house. We enjoyed the goodies in the welcome basket. The shortbread’s were delicious ( I believe they were homemade). We enjoyed our 3 night stay, the cottage was what we had hoped it would be. The gardens and grounds were so lovely and peaceful. Hamish gave us excellent advice getting to London by train. Our son and grandson enjoyed exploring Windsor Great Park, they saw a lot of wildlife. An awesome experience overall. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone visiting London and wanting to stay outside the city. We would love to return someday.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
