English Enchantment

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!

素晴らしい思い出

初めてのヨーロッパでした少しわかりにくい場所でしたが連絡すると私達のいる場所まで迎えに来てくれたのですんなりチェックイン。ゲートの中のファームなので安全、安心です。敷地の中だけでも気持ちよく過ごせます。車で20分ウィンザー城、ロンドン市内も電車で行かれます。オーナーのお人柄も素晴らしく、楽しい旅の思い出です。最後にレンタカーが故障した時も助けていただきました。是非又行きたいです。

Great spot!

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!

100-year-old gatehouse charm

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.

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.
