Kite’s Gate

This beautifully designed cottage accommodates up to six guests, offering a harmonious blend of traditional charm and modern convenience. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful countryside retreat or a base for exploring the area, this cottage offers an ideal blend of comfort, charm, and thoughtful amenities for an unforgettable stay. The ground floor boasts a welcoming open-plan layout, with warm honey-colored oak plank flooring throughout. Relax in the cozy seating area, where comfortable sofas and armchairs are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The dining table and chairs for six create a delightful space for meals, while the fully fitted kitchen ensures you’ll have everything you need to prepare and enjoy family feasts. Underfloor heating and an advanced air-circulation system ensure the property remains cozy and comfortable year-round. The back door from the kitchen opens onto a private terrace, furnished with a table, chairs, and a Weber charcoal grill—ideal for al fresco dining or relaxed evenings outdoors. From the terrace, you’ll have easy access to free parking, the 5-acre gardens of Kingham Lodge, and the nearby pool house. The master bedroom on the first floor features a luxurious king-size four-poster bed, and a private en-suite bathroom, providing a tranquil and elegant retreat. Also on this floor is a charming twin bedroom, perfect for guests of all ages, served by a separate family bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath for added convenience. Upstairs on the second floor, you’ll find an oak-beamed twin bedroom, enjoying spectacular views over the countryside, stretching to Daylesford and beyond. This room includes its own en-suite bathroom and offers flexibility, as the twin beds can be zip-linked to form a super-king bed if desired. To maintain the exceptional standard of the cottage, pets and smoking are not permitted. The property is thoughtfully equipped for families with young children, including a stair gate, highchair, and travel crib. A larger crib or newborn cradle can also be provided on request for a small supplement ($20). For larger family gatherings you may also wish to book the adjacent ’Ryeworth Cottage’ which shares the garden & parking spaces with Kite’s Gate Cottage. This will give you 6 bedrooms and bathrooms. The owners at Kingham Lodge have 5 holiday cottages available on site for large gatherings sleeping up to 26 people. Do call us about booking multiple cottages for a large family celebration. There are 5 cottages on site and operate a private ’swim time’ for each individual cottage, so all groups of guests have private family time in the pool. Your time changes each day and this information is shared with you in your booking confirmation email. You can also enjoy an early morning swim that is open to everyone. The pool is used by Kingham Lodge owners only after 4:30 pm. Pool towels are provided for you in your cottage and the owners will give you a pool safety briefing on arrival.
