Style Idiosyncratic rural retreat
Setting Wild woodland, perfect pastures

The 18 cottages that surround an antique-filled, colonial-style farmhouse all have their own individual design scheme – from fairytale woodland to whimsical helicopter interior.

Our favourite rooms
As all of the cottages at Winvian are individually designed, your favourite will no doubt come down to personal taste. We loved ‘Helicopter’, based on a Connecticut Coastguard chopper, which is unbelievably bold and outrageous.
Packing tips
Bring plenty of warm and waterproof clothes – you’ll want to get out and explore the 113 acres of surrounding woodland. Leave wellies, snowshoes, and cross-country skis at home, though. All are provided free of charge at Winvian.

The ‘Charter Oak’ cottage has an oak tree growing up through the middle of it.
