Hosts were welcoming & personable. We were guided through the property & was told about the history of the village. This beautifully maintained, quaint cottage was a magical place to stay and an easy commute to New Hope/Lambertville. It was a pleasure!!
A wonderful stay, it all felt like going back in time in this gothic cottage, Kurt and Eleanor are great hosts, we got the history behind this truly unique village, and its origins, which added to the charm of it all. Wonderful 5 stars.

The host Kurt was wonderful! Very friendly and helpful with the check in experience and helping us get settled. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights for an anniversary trip and the cottage was beautiful and so cozy for the 2 of us. We’d definitely recommend staying here and would love to return someday!

yes, it is Fall :-)
Our landscaping service comes once a week to blow the leaves. It just 2 days after they leave, it looks like they weren't even here :-) Wishing you a wonderful holiday season! All the best, the Millers
Amazing history of the property and buildings, all facilitated by Kurt & Eleanor. They are lovely folks who have much pride in their surroundings & the history of a truly wonderful town.

Why they chose this property
Note: If our calendar says we're book on dates you are interested in, please ask about our second English cottage "Herringbone Cottage" here # 4780852.
This property originally belonged to my husband's grandfather, Dr. George Morley Marshall who in 1895 thought the New Hope area looked like the rolling English countryside so he wrote his boyhood friend and artist, William Lathrope and told him he had to come to New Hope. He then sold a portion of the property to Lathrop, thus began the School of Pennsylvania Impressionists here in the New Hope/ Phillips' Mill area. Soon after, Lathrop sold a few acres to Morgan Colt. who was a well known architect, painter, woodworker, and iron worker and painter. Morgan Colt then began building this extraordinary little English Village to be his residence. We purchased this property in 1995 and in 2010 decided to make two of the cottages available to rent (Gothic Cottage) seen here and (Herringbone Cottage #4780852 )
What makes this property unique
Dozens of great restaurants, cafe's, art galleries, and live music venues all within 2 miles of the cottage as well as 3 museums nearby. All of our guests love walking or riding bikes on the canal tow-path. You can see all the beautiful historic homes along the canal as you walk along. We have a great indoor Farmers Market in the little river town of Stockton and another in downtown New Hope which is just 1 mile away. You can walk there on the canal if you like. Our little English village property is like a scene out of a Harry Potter movie. The entire little English village was built to look 900 years old. One of the cottages was originally built in England hundreds of years ago. It was part of an old Abby which had fallen into ruin. A section of the building was dismantled and brought to the U.S., barged up the canal to this location. It was reconstructed and brought back to its original luster. Its just gorgeous! Take in a show at the Newly renovated Bucks County Playhouse. Maybe even see James Earl Jones or Angela Lansbury or dozens of other stars in our historic Playhouse.
