Romantic Gothic Cottage - In Our Little English Village

Most Romantic Setting:

Don't forget to ask us about our availability in our second cottage #4780852 on this website.
Note: Please (No One-Night-Stays, Pets or Weddings). We absolutely don't do them. Absolutely no exceptions.

"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 mile from downtown New Hope, PA. sits this private Medieval English village. Renowned architect, painter, wood worker, and iron worker, Morgan Colt built this extraordinary English village at the turn of the 20th century to be his residence.

Located in the middle of our little English village is your romantic one bedroom Gothic cottage. As you walk through the village, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time and you're now in England 900 years ago. The Gothic Cottage has a Living Room, Bedroom with skylight (all fresh bed linens are provided for you), full Kitchen (small) with Spanish tile (kitchen is stocked with all pots, pans and cooking utensils and coffee for the Keurig coffee maker. Full Bathroom that comes complete with fresh towels... for your stay.

Relax And Enjoy: Step down into the sunken Italian garden and enjoy a glass of wine while you watch the sun set. This area has loads of great restaurants, wineries, art galleries, museums, antique stores, live music , theater and cabarets, boat rides, bike trails, old steam engine train rides... (See about our second cottage) Note: Please don't inquire about one night stays.)

Relax and enjoy a glass of your favorite wine in the sunken Italian garden: Four large ornate stone pedestals were imported from a palace in Italy by Morgan Colt in the early 1900's and barged up the canal to Colt's residence where they have been standing at each corner of the sunken Italian garden for the last 100 years.

If you don't feel like cooking dinner, just walk out your door, down the cast-stone walkway, through the beautiful garden courtyards 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 must call ahead for reservations. Note: Once you have booked your stay at The Gothic Cottage, we will provide you with an information packet about your stay that will also contain the restaurant's reservation phone number. (Note: Sorry but we ABSOLUTELY can't do one night stays)

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, wineries, great shopping destinations, antique stores, polo, 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 the 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 Gothic Cottage has private off-street parking for you 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 Gothic 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.

Unique Benefits of this Cottage: If you don’t feel like cooking dinner, just walk out your door, down the cast-stone walkway, through the beautiful private garden courtyards and 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. Friday thru Sunday, you should call ahead for reservations and its BYOB.

Once you have booked your stay at the Gothic Cottage, we will provide you with an information packet about your stay that will also contain the restaurant’s reservation phone number.

Romantic Getaway
The property has beautiful flowers and foliage that gives it a cozy, peaceful and romantic feel. The one bedroom cottage was the perfect size. It was a beautiful old English style cottage and so clean. We would definitely come back again. Oh and the owners were very helpful and friendly.

Cute Cottage Getaway
Eleanor and Kurt were nothing short of amazing! From taking us on a tour of the property and telling us about their family’s history, to even going as far as helping us operate the TV, they were wonderful. The cottage and property were absolutely beautiful and clean!! We felt so welcomed and enjoyed our stay immensely. We can’t wait to return!

Gothic Cottage
Our stay was a unique experience in a small but cozy cottage with a very interesting history which our hosts Kurt and Eleanor were kind enough to share with us! We had a bit of trouble with the short doorways and the small shower,( my husband is tall), but the bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the the basics necessities. Close to restaurants, shops and theaters.

A Peaceful, Harmonious, and Restful Weekend

Kurt and Eleanor are lovely and passionate about their property. The property is beautiful and has so much history behind it. Thank you Kurt and Eleanor for welcoming us to your home and making us feel safe and comfortable during our stay!

Step back in time
Host greeted me with " welcome to Harry Potter". Lots of history in this little escape from every day life. A bit far too walk to downtown New Hope- almost 2 miles. But close to beautiful walking paths. Very comfortable.

Perfect for personal reset
This was my second time visiting and I'm sure I'll be back! I have a dust allergy and Kurt and Eleanor were kind enough to provide an air filter to enhance my comfort. Kurt showed me some awesome family heirlooms and shared the history of the property, which is fascinating. I was able to easily walk on my own down the canal tow path into town, explore, and head back with no trouble. If you want a quiet getaway to yourself, this is it!

Perfect Five Star Experience! We loved it!
We truly loved our stay at this delightful, immaculate, beautifully appointed and romantic cottage and would highly recommend the experience to everyone we know. It was as if we had traveled back to another more gracious and charming era. The cottage was even nicer than it appeared in the photos, and our hostess could not have been more charming or helpful. The New Hope area is full of wonderful restaurants and places to visit. We certainly will be going back again when our schedules allow. Thank you for a spectacular, perfect stay!

One of a Kind - Spectacular Setting
We were looking for a special place for a relaxing weekend to celebrate our 31st anniversary, and the Gothic Cottage was absolutely perfect. The setting is serene, the hosts are gracious and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and their recommendations for restaurants, places to visit, etc. were spot on. We had a lovely weekend biking along the Delaware River, visiting art shows, poking around quaint towns, and dining at terrific restaurants. As VRBO owners ourselves, we fully appreciate the care the owners take in maintaining a very special property and experience for their guests. We will be back with friends.

Charming & Cozy Hidden Gem
I had an absolutely amazing weekend stay. The cottage was so charming and cozy, a perfect place to escape and relax. Eleanor and Kurt were such kind and gracious hosts, I thoroughly enjoyed being shown around the property and learning its history. The cottage is incredible, like stepping back in time, a magical little hidden gem that is perfect for a quiet and peaceful getaway. Quaint and clean, with one of the most comfortable beds ever, conveniently located just minutes from New Hope. Thank you, Eleanor and Kurt, for being so warm, friendly, and welcoming, and for giving me a tour of your home, showing me your amazing family heirlooms and treasures, and sharing your family’s history and the history of the art colony. A truly unique and magical place. I cannot wait for my next getaway visit to your cottage!

BEAUTIFUL!
My fiancee and I spent a weekend at the Gothic Cottage and did NOT want to leave. From arrival to departure we were amazed by all the old-fashioned beauty on the site and were even more appreciative of it all after a tour from one of the two very welcoming, accommodating hosts that we had the pleasure of meeting. They were extremely sweet and kind and even were nice enough to bring us some still-warm cookies that were being baked during our stay. Located in New Hope, there are plenty of things to do in town, but we were more than content to sit outside and just enjoy the view. We just left yesterday and are already very much looking forward to returning to this lovely place where my girlfriend became my fiancee. Very much recommended by both of us!

Superb
We are seasoned travelers and I am not one to write a lot of reviews. Our stay was wonderful. The cottage we stayed in and the others occupy a very special place that is cherished by owners and that certainly come through. We happened to be there when the fourth Noreaster hit and our flight was cancelled -- Much to our surprise they said that if weather delays a departure and the rental is available -- they comp you -- which they did for us. We offered to pay or split the difference -- but they insisted we be their guests. We therefore enjoyed watching the snow fall from the cottage -- reading good books and making breakfast, lunch and dinner in the comfortable accommodations. There is no question we would return.

Welcome to a magical place...
If you are looking for upscale, updated, huge spa-like bathrooms...the Gothic Cottage is not for you. If, however, you want an experience like none other...where you feel that you've entered a story book...or an historic English Hamlet...complete with beautiful overgrown gardens perfect for relaxing with wine and cheese...and stone pathways...then come. If you want to take a million photos of the quirkiness of this place...then come. If you want to truly escape from the real world...to relax...or de-stress...then come. Experience the magic! As an added bonus you are just steps away from the Pennsylvania Canal towpath...where, at the end of a leisurely one mile stroll, you find yourself in the "way too fun" town of New Hope. Artist studios. Restaurants. The bridge to Lambertville. All within walking distance. This is not a place to "spend a few nights"...this is a place to absolutely enjoy the moments!

The owner met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property. The atmosphere is fantastic! It's far enough from downtown to be very quiet and peaceful, but close enough to get to restaurants in 5 minutes. The owner had great recommendations for restaurants and things to see. The area was beautiful! I just wish we had direct a free more days here!
