About this property

Collier Street 1 mile. This spacious, single-storey, detached cottage is situated close to the small village of Collier Street in rural Kent. Located in the grounds of the owners' home and only two miles from the picturesque village of Yalding, this is the perfect place to stay when looking to explore the counties of Kent and Sussex. Offering comfortable ground floor accommodation, there’s an open plan living area and an attractive twin bedroom where you can awake to the views of the surrounding apple orchards after a restful night's sleep. Whether creating delicious dinners or packing a picnic for a day trip, the well-equipped kitchen has everything to hand. Why not enjoy your morning coffee alfresco in the sunny garden? If country pubs are on your holiday agenda, then make for The Woolpack, which is less than a mile away, where after a brisk winter walk or a slow summer stroll, you’re find a selection of meals from tasty bar snacks to speciality fish dishes. For those who delight in outdoor pursuits, be it country rambles, cycling or fishing, then you’ll have plenty of choice in this part of Kent. There are two large fishing lakes within a couple of miles and numerous footpaths to travel. Enjoy a cream tea on Teapot Island, where two rivers merge to flow into the River Medway, a beautiful spot to sit and watch the boats bob by, or spend the afternoon in the nearby pretty village of Yalding, with its quaint shops and narrow bridge. At the close of the day, return to this welcoming little cottage and plan tomorrow's adventure.

The small rural village of Collier Street, Kent, sits close to the border with Sussex. The village is only a few miles from The Hop Farm Family Park, previously a brewery owned by the Whitbread family, now a popular family attraction and concert venue. The Kent County Showground at Detling is only a short trip away, where there are events throughout the year. This part of Kent is scattered with historic houses and magnificent castles.

  • Jane Knott

    The bed was so comfortable. It's been redecorated throughout and was the cleanest property I've stayed in. The owners are lovely and on hand if you need anything. The sofa is low but I just moved the seat cushions from the other sofa and it was perfect. The property is in the perfect spot for visiting the nearby historic places. Plus you can wander round the orchard behind you and go and say hello to the lambs in the next field.

    Immaculate and so well equipped. A real home from home and really thoughtful extra touches like milk in the fridge and a packet of biscuits. Will definitely book again.

  • Brent

    It was very clean and comfortable and the owner's were very friendly and helpful. We would be happy to stay there again one day.
