Cliveden Ferry Cottage was once the home of the ferryman for My Lady Ferry and benefits from incredible views over the River Thames. The pretty half-timber cottage hosts a bright and modern interior with large patio and garden overlooking the river.

Make the most of your location and enjoy being part of the Cliveden estate. Explore the stately home, built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1666 and home to the Astor family until 1966. As a guest, you are welcome to follow in the footsteps of dukes, earls, kings and queens as you stroll through the impressive gardens and woodlands – even after closing! During the summer you can book to join a skippered cruise, or hire a water vessel to explore the river.

The cottages is just 14 miles from Heathrow Airport and is close to Windsor, Henley-on-Thames, The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and other National Trust places. Enjoy days of sightseeing or explore our estate before retiring to the cottage for a tranquil evening by the river.

The next cottage along the riverside path is Cliveden New Cottage (sleeps four). Both cottages can be booked together for a group of up to eight.
