The Garden House - Self-catering in Hertfordshire
Watton-at-Stone, SG14 3NQ, Hertfordshire
England,
Reino Unido
The Garden House (traditionally the home of the head gardener) and the Walled Gardens were built in the 1780s - the gardens providing vegetables and fruit for the house. You'll revel in so much space: a large drawing room with a wood-burner, lots of books, an elegant dining room overlooking the gardens and an extra snug with a TV and games - perfect as a teenage den or an escape. You'll also find a handy utility room down here for muddy boots or dogs.
Upstairs are swish bedrooms, all very traditional, comfortable and pretty with Roman blinds in thick fabrics and gorgeous views through sash windows. Cook as a team in the vast kitchen with double range cooker and masses of kit - you could easily cook Christmas lunch for 8.
Spill out onto smooth lawns, follow the sun round the house, sit under ancient oaks and a giant redwood.

The Team at Woodhall Estate:
- Varied countryside walks from the doorstep across Woodhall Park and beyond. Take your pick from a short walk to more challenging routes, there are options aplenty with guidebooks and maps provided plus pub recommendations enroute. We are dog-friendly, too.
- Food glorious food! From village pubs to fine dining options, there's a wealth of choice in the local area. The Grandison in Bramfield is one of our favourite places for Sunday roasts or relaxing and refueling after a long walk. Four-legged friends welcome
- The historic market town of Hertford is 6 miles away, full of independent boutique shops to explore, real ale pubs and many dining options. We like Hertford House brasserie, for lazy breakfasts or brunch made with local, seasonal produce.
- Shop local. If you plan to rustle up some hearty meals in our well-equipped kitchen there's plenty of opportunity to buy fresh, local produce nearby. Local farm shops offer activities for children, meet the animals, cafes and pick your own fruit in summer.
- A countryside retreat, within an hour of London and easily accessible by road or train. The historic cities of Cambridge and St Albans are also within easy reach and are perfect for a day trip to eat, drink and shop to your hearts content.
- The best thing about staying at The Garden House is the chance to relax in a beautiful setting, with an acre of private gardens, surrounded by trees, parkland and wildlife. If you like bird spotting, squirrel, deer or sheep spotting, you'll be happy here!
