  • Fabulous holiday cottage in secluded location with access to owner's heated outdoor swimming pool (June to September)
  • Ideal for keen walkers situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with access to walks from the front door
  • Kent and East Sussex coast in easy reach and boasts sandy and pebbled beaches
Property code: OC-51229

Set in its own secure garden, this fantastic coach house offers stylish accommodation not to be sniffed at. With two bedrooms, this rural retreat is perfect for friends or families, including four-legged members, to explore the 40 miles of footpaths and bridleways that lead across Goudhurst from your front door. Wander the woodlands at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest or explore the grounds of Sissinghurst Castle. Stroll to the village in the evening for a sociable drink or relaxed meal in one of the dog-friendly pubs.

With panoramic views across the garden and surrounding countryside, your open-plan living space is full of natural light. Conjure up a casual supper in the spacious kitchen/diner before putting your feet up in the comfortable lounge where your pup can bag themselves the best spot in front of the wood burner. Upstairs are the two en-suite bedrooms, both enjoying countryside views: one king-size zip-and-link (can be made as twin beds on request) with an en-suite shower room, and a double with an en-suite bathroom. Outside is a lovely space the whole family can enjoy. Light the BBQ on the decked area for an al fresco meal while your canine companion explores the pretty garden. You also have access on request to the owner’s heated outdoor swimming pool (June to September), if you wish to improve your doggy-paddle.

Situated within the Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the bustling village of Goudhurst, there are a myriad of countryside walks from the bottom of the garden. Visit the historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles), browse the specialist shops in The Pantiles before stretching your legs on the 200-acre Common. Stop for refreshments at one of the many traditional inns where your dog will get a warm welcome. Further afield, Hastings Beach and Camber Sands (both 20 miles) offer golden sands and surf to cool the paws.

 

All outdoor furniture in the Coach House grounds is available including the sun loungers by the pool - they must be wiped down after use. The dining table and chairs in the pool house are unavailable.

We loved our stay at the cottage, lovely spacious rooms and relaxing environment. Beds are comfy, kitchen and dining area is open and a great place to relax on a sunny day. The pool is great, perfect place to cool down in the heat. The cottage is a 5 minute drive to Goudhurst and has a great pub for a bite to eat.

We loved our stay in the Coach House which was beautifully furnished and very well equipped, making for a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Comfortable beds and sofas, lovely views over the countryside and a short walk into the centre of Goudhurst. The pool was a particular bonus as we had lovely weather. We will definitely return.

A perfect break. The house is very comfortable with everything you could need. Lovely beds, big fluffy towels, powerful shower, thank you for all the small personal touches you have added for ease. We loved that it was close to Sissinghurst & Scotney Castle, Bedgebury and Bewl water. We have been very lucky with the weather and enjoyed the views frRead moreom the decking whilst our small dog enjoyed the secure walled garden. Would love to come back. Hide

A lovely large cottage in beautiful surroundings. Very clean and well equipped. Super garden which our dog loved. Added bonus was being able to use the swimming pool. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.
