This romantic and characterful holiday retreat is nestled in the landscaped grounds of the owners' own farmhouse. With lovely views over the meadows towards Orlestone Forest, this is an idyllic rural retreat for a couple or solo traveller. The owners are developing wildflower meadows all around the property and were winners in the Kent Wildlife Trust Local Wildlife Sites award programme. There are many lovely walks along the quiet lanes and countryside, including at the nearby Gusbourne Estate (3.5 miles), where they produce an award-winning sparkling wine that just has to be sampled. The picturesque market town of Tenterden, with its many shops, cafes and restaurants, is 7.5 miles away, and no trip to Tenterden is complete without a ride on a steam train through the pretty Rother Valley to Bodiam Castle. In the opposite direction, discover the historic ‘Cinque Port’ town of Rye (11.5 miles), or the endless golden sands of Camber (15 miles) that promises glorious days out at the seaside.
The cottage has been thoughtfully decorated, incorporating the original beams and is furnished to a high standard throughout. The inviting studio-style living space is warm and welcoming with a plush king-size bed, comfy seating, wood burner and window-side dining table offering fabulous views of the forest. The kitchen is small but perfectly formed to meet all your culinary needs, and a stylish shower room makes this home complete.
A private patio to the rear is where you will find an outdoor dining set from which to take in the far-reaching countryside views. Guests can enjoy the added bonus of access to the owner’s garden and use of a summer house overlooking the pond, perfect for relaxing surrounded by the sounds of nature.
