The Shepherd’s Hut and gardens at Little Dower House are perfect for wildlife watching, with several species of deer often present and many birds to spot including birds of prey and our beautiful resident Barn Owl who swoops across the field at dawn and dusk. You must stay quiet though as she's quite shy!

Great location:
There's a reason Sir Elton John lives next door! Little Dower House is located in Old Windsor, a 10 minute drive from Windsor and Egham, which can both be reached from central London by train in 30 to 40 minutes. We're right next to Windsor Great Park and the Deer Park - the perfect spot for endless scenic walks, cycling and exploring the local attractions.

Local attractions include Windsor Great Park, Thorpe Park for thrill seekers, Ascot and Windsor Racecourses, Guards Polo, Wentworth Golf Club, many National Trust properties, River Thames boating and tow path, Hampton Court Palace, Kew Gardens and LONDON.

We recommend a car for your stay but can help book local taxis or an Uber . We can offer you a lift if your destination isn't too far away!

Enviromentally friendly:
At Little Dower House, we prioritize sustainability without compromising comfort. Our water reuse system nourishes the vibrant garden, promoting local biodiversity and minimizing waste while ensuring you can have a luxury experience even in the heart of nature.

Guest access:
Access The Shepherd’s Hut via a beautiful private driveway and meadow. Guests will need to walk across a short stretch of grass and woodchip path. Recommended to bring outdoor shoes or wellies.

Guests have exclusive access to the Shepherd’s Hut and may also take a stroll around our gardens at Little Dower House.

Other things to note:
Little Dower House is a private home and 12 acre garden on an estate once owned by King Henry 8th. Nestled upon a hill in a beautiful corner of the Berkshire countryside, with breathtaking views of Windsor Castle, we sit right next to Windsor Great Park and Sir Elton John’s Woodside Estate.

In addition to the Shepherd’s Hut, we have a gorgeous Victorian Lodge house and a romantic studio apartment on site which guests are also welcome to book. Perfect for families or larger groups wanting a break away in nature together. Properties are spaced out across the estate ensuring total privacy and comfort.

In the summer months we also host marquee weddings and events in the beautiful walled garden, woodland and meadow (Please note, we book out all of our properties during wedding weekends. So there won’t ever be an overlap with your stay. All guests are able to enjoy the gardens in peace and tranquility).
