Spring Cottage

Cottage of the property Cliveden House

Close to the delightful Buckinghamshire village of Taplow and nestled in the heart of the Cliveden House estate, Spring Cottage is named after the mountain spring that emerges from the nearby cliffs. It was here where Queen Victoria and the Duchess of Sutherland would enjoy taking their tea while watching life along the river. Perfectly picturesque, its classic British layout is both charming and refined. With family or friends, enjoy snuggling up by the fireplace, strolling through the extensive flower garden or taking a boat trip from the private pier.
