Property code: 87119

This stylish apartment is tucked away in the heart of the Kent countryside, offering the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life and surrounded by so many beautiful places and gardens to visit.

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.

We booked the apartment for a 3 night break. The pictures had given us the impression that this was going to be a 5-star experience and they did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived and discovered bread, flowers, jams, butter, milk and chocolate eggs, we realised that Martine does not leave anything to chance. The bed is comfortable and the rRead moreooms were spotlessly clean. Set in private grounds and surrounded by beautifully manicured grounds, with geese, goats and peacocks! Perfect. Hide

We enjoyed our stay at beautiful Little Swaylands. Accommodation was excellent with a very generous welcome basked provided by the friendly owners. Peacocks feeding from our hands and other animals were a joy. Everything was first class. Thank you for sharing Swaylands with us.

Luxurious and spacious accommodation in a very quiet position. Beware the lack of street lighting if arriving after dark! We ended up travelling too far down the lane and having to reverse in the dark. Fortunately we had very helpful hosts!

This lovely barn should be listed as 5 star holiday let. It is the epitome of hospitality excellence and as an ex hotelier I should know! The owners are excellent, so welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The dogs were also welcomed. I cannot recommend Little Swaylands highly enough for both short and longer stays

If you are after a wonderful relaxing break in a beautiful peaceful location, this is ideal. Arthur (my Westie) and I spent a most enjoyable time here. We made friends with all the animals, and the owners are very helpful and friendly. There are lovely pubs, farm shops & towns close by - great for cross country walks & cycling. The flat is very comRead morefortable & well maintained. The grounds are just lovely. Highly recommended. If you have a terrier you'll need a lead as too much temptation nearby! Hide
