Moat Cottage (Sleeps up to 12)

Who doesn't want their very own moat even just for a week! This Tudor-style cottage high up on a hill within the estate is perfect for large families or groups with their four legged friends. Spend your days fishing or toe-dipping or if you're of the four-legged kind - doggie paddling! Despite its name, Wilderness Reserve is less rough country and more Downton Abbey! Set within a 5,000-acre estate of rolling parklands, woodlands, lakes and landscaped gardens, this is the ultimate dog-friendly retreat for those looking to disappear for a weekend. Explore the Wilderness Estate with 18 unique properties, each boasting distinct features and character.

THE ESTATE

From vintage Morris Minor-driving housekeepers to attentive personal hosts, the knowledgeable staff is ready to assist. Guests can engage in conservation chit chat with rangers and the estate ecologist for insights into English nature.
