The space Windsor Retreat Cottage – Historic Luxury Moments from Windsor Castle Welcome to Windsor Retreat Cottage, a luxurious late 18th-century period home, just minutes from the world-renowned Windsor Castle and the beautiful River Thames. Once part of the original coach houses that served the castle, this historic gem has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard—retaining its original charm while offering modern comfort. 🏡 The Space Windsor Retreat Cottage is a two-floor property, lovingly styled to give guests an authentic and elegant experience of Windsor and Eton. Full of character, from exposed period features to carefully curated interiors, it’s a cosy home that balances timeless heritage with welcoming warmth. • 🛋️ The lounge is bright and inviting, with a QLED TV, an electric fireplace to set the mood, and a dedicated workspace—ideal for both relaxing evenings and productive moments. • 🍽️ The kitchen blends Old English charm with modern functionality. It features a dining table, built-in breakfast bar, coffee machine, and a delightful tea collection—perfect for slow mornings. My personal favourite is to enjoy my coffee just steps away, by the peaceful riverbank. 🛏️ Bedrooms • The master bedroom boasts a beautiful four-poster bed and tasteful period décor. • The second bedroom has its own en-suite (please note: all en-suites are WC-only) and access to a charming roof terrace overlooking Windsor’s historic railway arches. • The third bedroom also features a private en-suite (please note: all en-suites are WC-only). 🚿 The only shower is located in the family bathroom on the ground floor. 🍼 For families with young children, an infant cot seat is available. (It is suitable till age 1 year) 🌀 Please Note The home features a narrow Victorian spiral staircase—a beautiful masterpiece that adds real character to the cottage. While it’s a stunning architectural feature, it may be difficult to navigate with large suitcases and could pose challenges for elderly guests or those with limited mobility. Please also note that there are no staircase safety gates, so families with young children should take extra care. We highly recommend checking the photos to assess accessibility before booking. 🌊 Riverside Living Located on the first residential street off the river, Windsor Retreat Cottage offers an unbeatable location. Spend your days enjoying riverside walks, feeding the ducks, or hopping on a boat trip—an easy and memorable way to take in the local charm.
