Romantic Gothic Cottage - 1 mile from downtown New Hope

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.

Unfortunately, we were not able to stay at the cottage due to an illness but the communication with the owners was excellent. That’s really all we can rate.

Historical and quaint
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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Historic "Artists Retreat" Getaway!
Eleanor and Kurt are great hosts. It's a cottage, so it was quaint and comfortable. We also enjoyed the convenience of a kitchen with a stove, keurig coffee maker (pods supplied!), and fridge. A sort ride into town (New Hope) or Lambertville NJ (which has the best ice cream in the world at Oh Wow Cow). As has been highlighted in other reviews, the space is small and older, so if it's luxury and modern conveniences this isn't your place. This is a place for you to experience a piece of history with great hosts and convenient access to New Hope and the D&R Canal!
