About this property

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)

The Herringbone Cottage is perfect for weekend getaways, week long vacations or temporary lodging and can comfortably accommodate two people. Extended stays, include weekly house cleaning services.

just what we needed
The cabin was as described, lovely, warm on a cold winter weekend, and close to New Hope for an afternoon of shopping and relaxation. Eleanor and Kurt are very kind and gracious hosts, giving a walking history of the property upon our arrival and making sure we had everything we needed during our stay

This was the closest I will be to a fairytale cottage. I loved everything about it and my only regret is not staying longer. Kurt and Eleanor are very sweet. The area is beautiful to walk around. The town is very cute. The cottage was quiet and beautiful. It had everything we needed to make our stay special. Now I can't wait to go back. This place is magical!

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.

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

Surrounded with architectural beauty without all the comforts of today - adequate comfort within the task of maintaining an authentic experience of living in an original historic space … Can’t have the peaceful space & be within walking distance of town.. very short-straight drive to town

Great historical cottages!
My husband and I truly enjoyed staying at this cottage! The communication was excellent, Eleanor and Kurt kept up to date Communications with us as well as helping us find their cottage since it's off the beaten path. They have a Keurig machine with k-cups, some tea options, sugar and creamers. We were very grateful for that! Curt took us on a tour of the property and told us about the history when we first got there and it was kind of amazing. The bed was comfortable, the room was nice and clean, and we highly recommend staying here. The only very small issue that we had was the bathroom had some mold or mildew in the nooks and crannies. They may want to take care of that. Other than that we highly recommend staying here.

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...
