The heart and soul of Little Dower House is found in our gardens, all unique and equally beautiful.
Every bush and border is nourished and cherished to create a sense of peace and healing.
We hope you enjoy them.
Throughout the seasons
Spring
In spring the gardens come alive with daffodils, bluebells, blossom, wild garlic, ox eye daisies, rhododendrons, tulips, irises and more.
Summer
In summer you can smell the roses, wisteria, buddleja, peonies, lavender and geraniums. Many couples choose to propose or get married under the Indian Catalpa tree, whose heart shaped leaves become their most resplendent in mid July.
Autumn
Autumn lights our gardens up in oranges, reds and golds, with an abundance of conkers that delight the squirrels dancing in branches above.
Winter
In winter we are blessed with snowdrops, hellebores and crocus. We witness some of the clearest and starriest night skies, most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and - if you are lucky - snow that silently blankets our woodlands and meadows in a silvery glow.
The Marquee Meadow
An expansive 5 acres of open space and long floaty grass, with beautiful views of Windsor Castle and the forests of Windsor Great Park opposite. Fully encompassed by the nature around, The Marquee Field is the perfect location for larger events and can hold 250 people, with parking space for up to 40 cars. This area is whatever you'd like it to be, so dream big! Marquees, food vans, merry-go-rounds or bouncy castles. Whatever the occasion, we'll help you bring your vision to life.

The Lodge and Rose Gardens
Quintessentially English, The Lodge & Rose Gardens provide an uninterrupted view of the valley, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park. This area is fantastic for smaller events such as a cocktail party, dining event or a smaller wedding.
The Ornamental Gardens are maintained professionally all year round and have plenty of open space to be left to your design. This space includes an al fresco dining & barbecue area, two private gardens & plenty of benches to enjoy the countryside views. We're very excited to be bringing our vision of a white Rose garden to life ~ newly planted for 2024, beautiful white wisteria will fall from the trees above and rambling roses along the fence will frame the breath taking views. You'll definitely want to get wedding photos here!
