Indian Summer House

REF NR: 698

1. Once the home of the princess and her family. Queen Victoria was fascinated by India and here she had created a beautiful summer house to a design which conjures up the atmosphere of India.  The Indian summer house provides a wonderful location for a peaceful and romantic escape. Windows extend for almost the entire length of the cottage so that guests have a delightful feeling of being part of the woodland setting but the sloping roof line offers a certain air of mystery. The cottage and been furnished with care, in a way to accentuate the atmosphere of the Indian Raj with the style of the furniture, rich silk curtains, elaborate materials and attractive creams carpets adorned with Indian rugs.
