Property code: OC-87119

A stylish apartment that would be the perfect bolthole for a romantic getaway for two and a couple’s beloved pup. The peaceful environment in the heart of the Kent countryside offers an ideal space to escape the trials and tribulations of modern-day life. There are simply so many beautiful spots and gardens to visit - it makes a great holiday for the dog as a result!

The apartment is entered via a set of external stairs, where guests will immediately feel right at home thanks to a bright and airy kitchen/diner area. It has everything guests need to cater for themselves on holiday including the increasingly necessary Nespresso machine. While the apartment only sleeps two, the dining table can fit up to six people. From the table, guests can go to the welcoming lounge and then finally onto the double bedroom. It has an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower. Outside, below the apartment, is a patio and a secluded garden area. Pets are always welcome here but do need to be kept on a lead within the grounds - just in case, as so many other animals and birds use the grounds too!

Situated in Kent’s Area of Outstanding Beauty, walkers are well catered for in this spot. While it’s possible simply to step foot out the door and go on long beautiful ambles, potentially past the dog-loving pub nearby, it’s also possible to go to places such as Rye or Hastings on the coast. Rye, in particular, is a picture-perfect village and only 15 miles away.

A warm welcome and a wonderful place to stay. A perfect location for visiting the local National Trust sites in Kent. We made good use of the the excellent BBQ provided and found everything about our stay at Little Swaylands perfect for us. A really good find!

A comfortable and spacious apartment above a coach house in beautifully kept grounds in the heart of the Kentish High Weald. Lots to do in the area, especially for outdoor types.

A holiday cottage where everything works! This a well fitted out and comfortable place to stay in a quiet location. Welcoming hosts, a delicious welcome pack and good access to lots of interesting places to see, eat at and visit. Might be tricky if you are very tall!
