Nestled in tranquil countryside with walks on your doorstep, this charming single-storey cottage offers the perfect romantic retreat. Tucked on the fringes of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you can join circular walks from your doorstep or wander into the picturesque town of Tenterden, known as the ‘Jewel of the Weald’. This charming town has a fascinating history and a wealth of quirky boutiques and tearooms to explore. Visit the town’s museum, and take a journey back in time on the Kent & East Sussex Railway to visit Bodiam Castle (12 miles). Outdoor enthusiasts will love Bewl Water (19.5 miles) offering a range of leisure activities such as fishing, cycling and boating, and Bedgebury Forest (16.5 miles), while oenophiles can sample a drop of local wine at Chapel Down Vineyard (4.5 miles).

This restored one-bedroom lodge retains an abundance of original features blended with contemporary comforts, and is finished to a high standard throughout. Enter the property into the open-plan living and dining room, which features oak flooring and a beamed, vaulted ceiling. There’s a comfortable sofa, the TV sits next to a wood burner sat on a brick fireplace, and a dining table takes pride of place next to the patio doors leading into the garden. A door leads into the fresh and bright kitchen set on a traditional tiled floor. The lodge has a spacious double bedroom with a restored medieval bed and lovely country views, and a stylish shower room with a large heated towel rail.

The pretty enclosed garden is mostly laid to lawn with flower borders, while a patio with outdoor furniture and a fire pit/BBQ offers the perfect spot to dine alfresco.

Wagon Lodge is perfect in every way. It is better equipped than my house. It is so cosy and comfortable especially with the log fire blazing away. Bruce and Helen are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them if you need help in any way. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with a lovely garden.
