Quietly situated on the edge of a magnificent hotel and golf resort deep in the rolling Kent countryside, this charming two-storey cottage is the ideal location for a couple seeking a restful and reviving retreat. Golfers can enjoy a round on Broome Park’s superb parkland course as day members and a meal in the impressive Grade I-listed mansion house hotel afterwards. The neighbouring village of Barham, 2 miles, has a village store and pub, as well as a wine estate offering vineyard tours and tastings. Historic Canterbury, with its stunning cathedral, winding streets, museums and shops, is just over 9 miles from the property and makes for an appealing day out. The beguiling Kent coastline is within easy reach of this property too – take the opportunity to walk some of the spectacular White Cliffs route. St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe, 12.5 miles, is a good starting point; circle back to the village for a cream tea or a pub meal after a bracing cliff-top walk.

Upon entering this tastefully decorated property, guests first encounter an elegant kitchen/diner, where a smart kitchen area with granite worktops has a breakfast bar and stools for quick bites as well as a dining area with a dining table and chairs for more relaxed dining. The spacious lounge is accessed via a single step up – in this room, there are comfortable sofas positioned to make the most of lovely garden views framed by the French doors. A striking wrought-iron spiral staircase leads from the dining area up to the first floor, where there is a pretty, carpeted double bedroom with further garden views and a contemporary en-suite shower room with a double-width walk-in shower.

Outdoors, the property has access to enclosed gardens extending to 3.5 acres, encompassing lawns and woodland areas, in addition to a paved patio with garden furniture.

We had a wonderful long weekend in this cottage. It is comfortable, with a heating system that can deal with cold winter days, it is well equipped, with modern kitchen and bathroom, and the view into the landscape is impressive. Definitely a cottage worth recommending!

We had a great autumn week in Well Cottage. Spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished. The setting was fantastic with the surrounding woodland and manicured lawns. The owner was most friendly and obliging. Well recommended.

Cottage is very well appointed in stunning surroundings with beautiful gardens for human and doggy enjoyment and on site the owners are friendly and helpful. There is a request bus stop at the end of the driveway with a service to and plenty of walks to be taken from the cottage itself so the car can stay in the parking space if required.
