Property code: OC-A28248

This idyllic one-bedroom property is set in the Kent countryside on the outskirts of Biddenden. It’s a great choice for a couple plus one hound wanting long walks in nature and easy access to excellent pubs, restaurants, and local vineyards. Return to your south-facing garden and fire up the BBQ.

This charming barn conversion is full of elegance and easy comfort. Natural finishes and contemporary soft furnishings sweep through the ground floor creating a calming refuge. After a day of exploring, shrug off coats, store away boots, and step through to the open-plan kitchen. Fido can keep you company as you rustle up a bite to eat or open the patio doors and let your pup roam the extensive garden. Serve meals at the neat table in the oak-beamed dining area then relax in the armchair and watch as the sun dips behind the treetops. As the evening draws in, head up the oak staircase to the first floor where you’ll find a handy desk should you need to catch up on work. Alternatively, snuggle up on the sofa in the stylish sitting area and enjoy a film on the TV. From the sitting area, brilliant white walls sweep through to the serene king-size bedroom, and with nothing here to disturb you, you’ll be sure of a good night’s sleep. In the morning, Fido can stretch his legs on the fenced lawn while you sit at the patio table and linger over a lazy breakfast.

Enjoy countryside walks straight from the door or stroll into the quaint village of Biddenden (1.5 miles) and enjoy a meal at one of the dog-friendly pubs. Alternatively, clip on a lead and sample some English wines at a local vineyard. Further afield, Fido can explore Sissinghurst Castle Garden (4 miles) and Hole Park Gardens (7 miles) or for a day on the beach head to Camber Sands (18.5 miles).

We had a lovely short break here. The place is like a Tardis ! When we arrived we thought there is not going to be a lot of room but how wrong we were. Loads of space for two. Very comfortable bed, good size bedroom. Living room area large enough and comfy. Kitchen/dining area plenty of room too. All well equipped and the towels were nice too, I amRead more going to buy some of the same make ! All in all a very pleasant place to stay and peaceful too Hide

Great place to stay, perfect location to explore (Hastings, Camber Sands, Rye, Battle etc). People are really friendly and the owners are really helpful. Cottage is clean, everything you would need is there. It's the perfect place for me and Boris (my dog). We've stayed there twice so far and booked again in May 2024.
