Gardener’s Cottage – A Tranquil Retreat in Historic Wales

Step into a world where history, comfort, and natural beauty meet. Nestled on the historic grounds of Mathern Palace—dating back to 1408—Gardener's Cottage is a lovingly restored 19th-century hay barn, beautifully blending vintage charm with modern comfort. The estate, once restored by Henry Avray Tipping in 1875, offers a serene retreat where past and present dance in harmony.

A short stroll brings you to The Millers Arms, the charming village pub, while winding footpaths beckon you to explore the picturesque Welsh countryside. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, Gardener's Cottage is the perfect base for your escape, offering close proximity to both the tranquil outdoors and the vibrant city of Bristol.

The Space

Designed with open-plan living in mind, Gardener's Cottage invites you to unwind in style. The light-filled interior features a dining area for four, perfect for shared meals, and a cozy lounge to relax, sip a glass of wine, or enjoy a movie night.

A generous gravel drive leads to free parking, ensuring your stay is hassle-free. Enjoy your morning coffee in the front garden, where a table and chairs provide the perfect spot to bask in the serenity of the surroundings. The expansive back garden, shared with the adjacent cottage, offers plenty of room to roam and reflect.

Bedrooms

The master bedroom, with its double bed and luxurious linens, offers a peaceful haven to rest after a day of exploration. Complete with a double wardrobe, dressing table, mirror, and hairdryer, it’s designed for both comfort and convenience.

The second bedroom offers twin beds that can be easily converted into a double upon request—just let us know when booking, and we’ll prepare the space for you.

A Unique Location

Gardener’s Cottage sits beside its sister property, The Potting Shed, offering a perfect option for larger groups or families looking to share this historic estate. While the property is set within the private grounds of Mathern Palace, guests are kindly asked to respect the boundaries of the estate. Maps are provided on arrival to help guide your exploration of the accessible areas.

Located just 18 miles from Cabot Circus and within easy reach of Bristol Parkway (14.3 miles) and Bristol Temple Meads (19.3 miles), Gardener’s Cottage offers the ideal balance of countryside peace and city convenience. The nearest airport is Bristol Airport, approximately 28.6 miles away.

Escape to Gardener's Cottage—where history whispers in the air, and the beauty of nature calls you to explore.
