Romantic Herringbone Cottage - In Our Little English Village

Most Romantic Storybook Setting. You will think you've just walked into a scene from of a Harry Potter movie.
Note: Please do not ask about (One-Night-Stays, Pets or Wedding). This cottage listing was just uploaded and added to our other listing that we've had here since 2010.
"Walk to New Hope!"
Situated on one of Bucks County's most fabled properties in the historic hamlet of Phillips' Mill, PA and just 1 & 1/2 miles from downtown New Hope, PA. sits this storybook little English Village. Renowned architect, painter, wood worker, and iron worker, Morgan Colt built this extraordinary village at the turn of the 20th century to be his residence.
Located in the middle of Gothic English Village is your romantic one bedroom cottage. As you walk through the village property, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time and you're now in England 500 years ago. The "Herringbone Cottage" has a studio living space with a Living Room and Dining area, bathroom and Kitchen at one end of the cottage and a Bedroom area at the other (all fresh bed linens and Bathroom towels are provided for you). You have an updated galley Kitchen (small). Kitchen is stocked with all pots, pans and cooking utensils and coffee for the Keurig coffee maker, 4 burner stove. microwave, frig. Full Bathroom that comes complete with fresh towels... for your stay.
Relax And Enjoy: Many enchanted garden areas on the property where you can sit and enjoy the sites and sounds of this magical little village. The New Hope area has loads of great restaurants, art galleries, museums, antique stores, wineries, live music , theater and cabarets, boat rides, old steam engine train rides and fantastic shopping... Note: Please don't inquire about one night stays.)

If you don't feel like cooking dinner, just walk out your door, down the village walkway, through the beautiful garden courtyard and through the large Medieval iron gates, where you will come upon The Inn at Phillip's Mill, also built by Morgan Colt and arguably 'the most romantic restaurant in all of Bucks County' (For weekend dining) you should call ahead for reservations. Note: Once you have booked your stay at "Herringbone Cottage," we will provide you with an information packet about your stay that will also contain the restaurant's reservation phone number.

Secluded Yet So Close To So Much: This is a great location aprox 1 mile north of downtown New Hope, and Lambertville which are famous for their numerous fine art galleries, museums, wineries, great shopping destinations, antique stores, polo matches, great restaurants, boat rides, walking trails, bike trails, live music and live theater at the famous Bucks County Playhouse...

Another high point of staying here is that our "little village" sits on the banks of the beautiful Delaware Canal which gives you instant access to the canal towpath where you can walk, or ride your bikes (1 mile) to historic downtown New Hope, PA, Lambertville or Stockton, NJ. The Herringbone Cottage has private off-street parking and is available all year round so you can make this your new home away from home. (Note: Sorry but we absolutely can't do one night stays)

Calming

The area is a nice quiet place. We were able to sit outside and look at the stars without hearing any traffic. But it is still close to alot of different activity's which is really nice. We will most likely stay again some time in one of the other cottages

Magical Slice of History

Kurt, the property manager, gave us an amazing tour when we arrived which really added to the charm of this place. My wife is currently pregnant so we didn’t take advantage of how close the hiking trail into New Hope was to the cottage but it was a really short drive into town. We appreciated that we were outside of the downtown area because it made it even easier to get to other cute places we wanted to experience in the area. Very charming cottage and great experience overall.

2nd time here!!

2nd time here, last time we were in the Gothic cottage and loved it. This time we were in the Herringbone cottage, also loved it. Eleanor and Kurt are awesome they treated us like family members they liked, LOL. We're planning to go again for the winter before Xmas time. Peddler Village and the town of New Hope, Pa and NJ are a must to visit, lots of shopping, food and things to see. Do not miss out on this place

Hidden Gem English Cottage

Charming English Gothic Cottage in New Hope, PA. Lovely town . There are steps. Rooms are small but cozy. I don’t suggest this unit for tall or large individuals. We enjoyed it though. The owners are very nice and accommodating.

We loved the village and our cottage! The area is so charming with a fabulous old world vibe. It’s tranquil and quiet, close to the towpath for walks and a short drive to all that New Hope has to offer. Historic day trips are within easy reach as well. We were disappointed the restaurant next door was closed but happy to see a sold sign the day we left so we’re sure it will be an asset to the village again soon! We hope to visit again

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cottage was nothing like it was advertised to be and depicted in the accompanying photos. The place was musty with old furniture, a bathroom and shower that were horrible, and spiders and other creatures crawled throughout the interior. The location was advertised as being a convenient walk to downtown New Hope, which it was not. The photos listed in Vrbo were clearly from a much earlier time.

This was such a beautiful and unique property! We were given a tour and sone history of the village, which was so interesting! It felt secluded, but was so close to so many things!

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor Miller

Host profile image
I was an actress in NYC and lived in the "East village". The married my husband and moved to New Hope, Pa. I've been a Real Estate agent for Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty for over 20 years. We bought this little English village property in May of 1995 and just love it here.

Why they chose this property

This property was built to look like its 900 years old. This is where the New Hope Art Colony began in the late 1800's. There is such a vast amount of history here. From Washington crossing the Delaware to the arts, Museums, art galleries, great authors, playwrights, actors... Within 2 miles from here, we have over 60 great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

walk or ride your bike to down town New Hope, Lambertville...
