Gardeners Cottage in the grounds of Newstead Abbey- home of the Poet Lord Byron

Stay in our Gardener’s Cottage at Newstead Abbey and you’ll be walking in the footsteps of the classical romantic Poet, Byron and enjoying the same stunning park vistas and surrounding countryside that truly inspired him.

Built in the 1860s by the Webb family, the Gardener’s Cottage is situated in heart of the Abbey grounds and is just a few minutes’ walk from many of the parks’ unique features, including the Abbey, Byron’s own Fort and stunning lakes.

Nestled amongst mature trees and shrubs and overlooking the original Rose Garden, this charming Grade II listed building has been sensitively restored to a very high standard, whilst still retaining some of the building’s original features, including wooden floorboards, floor tiles and beautiful stone mullion windows. The interior design has been influenced by rooms in the House and Abbey, which are also well worth a visit during your stay.

The cottage sleeps up to 4 people and has two bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and the other with two single beds. Off the landing there is a family bathroom with bath and separate “drench” shower cubicle.

Downstairs is a fully equipped kitchen with all modern amenities with a utility room housing a washer/dryer, along with a comfortable lounge and separate dining room. Accessed from the kitchen is your very own private walled courtyard, just perfect for an alfresco breakfast or relaxing with a glass of wine after a busy day sightseeing.

The cottage is available for week long, weekend and mid-week breaks and is perfect for exploring the wealth of history and culture that the Robin Hood’s county has to offer and is also available to hire for pre and post ceremony accommodation for our happy couples who marry at the Abbey.

We accept a minimum of 3 night stay bookings.

Beautiful grounds
The property was situated in beautiful grounds, but the actual property was far from what was advertised. There were a few issues and the major one was the leaking toilet and the shower where you could not really take a shower for longer than 10 seconds. It would go scorching hot and then cold within a few seconds. We also arrived on time but the people who were supposed to get the property ready were not made aware of us coming. We had to wait for over 45 minutes to get into the property and even then, it wasn't ready. We left the property cleaner than we found it. On a positive note, the grounds the property was on were really lovely. The staff that worked at the Abbey were really nice as well. We were given so many different directions on how to get to the property, it was really confusing. One staff member told us to go down a road that took us into other people's properties and another staff member told us we couldn't drive down to the actual cottage and had to walk and carry our cases to the property. That wasn't correct, obviously, and we were glad we didn't listen to that advice. It was a bit of a let-down with the cleanliness and the hot water issue. If this was fixed, the property would be amazing. The price we paid for what we got was a bit too much. I would really look around for other properties and go and visit the grounds separately without having to stay there.

A Mixed Bag
It was a real privilege to be able to stay in the grounds of Newstead Abbey. Access to the gardens and house was quick and easy and all of the on site staff were super friendly. We had a relaxed and enjoyable time. Enough literature for adults to read and board games for children. The negatives: no response from the house manager until we contacted VRBO directly. House was cold when we arrived after a very wet drive - it doesn’t take much to ensure a warm cottage for arrivals. We had to adjust the boiler temperature and the radiators ourselves to get warm. Don’t bother to bath - the boiler is unreliable and the water runs hot very briefly, and more often it is cold. We had luke warm showers each day. The kitchen, although well-stocked, has no space to prepare food - it needs a console table to do so. The flat roof to the scullery leaked in the rain. The man double bed was very hard, but the bed linen was super. On a personal note, I do think that NCC have missed a trick here. The decor is modern and fairly cheap. Although the gardener would not have lived salubriously, there is so much reasonably priced period furniture about, that furniture could well be acquired to suit the correct period of the cottage. No wi- fi or mobile signal, which was useful if you wanted to read, but no use if you wanted to share the fabulous photos on social media!

Following in Byron’s footsteps.
The location is amazing; beautiful slightly wild gardens, shimmering lakes, abundant wildlife, quiet corners, lush vegetation and majestic ancient trees. The cottage is delightful; warm, welcoming, immaculately clean, comfortably furnished and sympathetically refurbished. The enclosed courtyard afforded a sheltered spot to enjoy coffee and company.

Unique Property
Gardener's Cottage is a very special and a truly unique place. Set in the grounds of a former Abbey, which is steeped in history. When the grounds close at 5 o'clock, you are left alone on the estate with the rabbits, squirrels, swans and peacocks. Be prepared to never want to leave the grounds, unless it is just so that you can enjoy driving back in. There is no wi-fi, but we got decent mobile signal within 20 yards of the front door. I feel lucky to have had the chance to stay there. We are planning when we can go back.

What a delightful house in stunning surroundings!
Our little break was everything we could have wished for, and more. The setting was stunning with a 'wow' around every turn through the gardens and woodland. We left with the feeling that we must return. Thank you for this opportunity to comment as we didn't find a guest book. Each and every member of staff we encountered was so friendly and helpful.

Wonderful experience
We stayed for three peaceful nights in the beautiful Gardener's cottage. Coming from the U.S., it was so relaxing to hear the sheep at night and stroll in the breathtaking gardens. My two teenage daughters bought duck food from the gift shop and we sat by the pond and fed some baby swans along with Mom and Dad! We walked side-by-side with the most beautiful peacocks I've ever seen and even caught a glimpse of a Mother and baby! Our stay at Newstead will be a treasure for our family and my only regret would be that we didn't stay longer!
