The South East England / Kent region
Kent is known as "The Garden of England" with its winding lanes past lavender fields, orchards, vineyards and oast houses.
Be enriched by England's oldest county, alive with its exciting past: visiting Canterbury with Chaucer's pilgrims and Rochester with Dickens, following the maritime adventures that have shaped Kent from Roman invasion to World War II. Quintessential England. But also bang up to date with leading-edge galleries and theatre, Michelin-starred dining and entertaining nightlife giving you so many things to do.
Some outstanding attractions within a few miles include the National Trust properties of Sissinghurst Castle with its renowned gardens, Bodiam Castle, the nearby Scotney Castle and the ruins of Bayham Abbey. Slightly further are the Batemans (one time home of Rudyard Kipling), Ightham Moat, Penshurst Place and Great Dixter. The nearest seaside resort is Hasting with the smugglers town of Rye within 40 minutes and the Spa town of Tunbridge Wells is 12 miles to the West offering excellent shops and restaurants, a cinema and bowling alley.

A late review but non the less a positive one:-) We had a great time in this cottage. The cottage itself was fully equipped, nicely decorated and more than your money's worth. The owners Saff and Nishi were super friendly and gave us some ideas for our sightseeing trip! Kent is a lovely area with friendly and lovely villages as well as loads of shopping centers and outlet centers. Close to the grand design eco house, Leeds Castle (thank you for your advice on these 2 visits, Noshi) which was interesting. All in all we had a wonderful time in a wonderful cottage with lovely hosts that had the thin line of privacy and friendliness down to a fine art. |

Amazing what we could do/see from here in just one week! London, Leeds Castle, Dover etc. It felt like a real home away from home and we felt most welcome. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Great times. Found the house on the internet and did not know what to expect but we were all overwhelmed. We spent a great week and your family made it very enjoyable. Will love to be back. Hope to come back for many other years and wish every week in The European tour (Golf) was as good as this.
