About this property
Located in the pretty village of Smarden, Spinster's Nook was used by the weaving community in medieval times but has now been converted into a luxury cottage for two. The quaint thatched cottage has been modernised sympathetically but from the outside still looks like time has stood still! The cottage will accept a dog and guests have use of the owner's heated pool by arrangement. It is situated in the owner's beautiful gardens and is a perfect countryside retreat.
Spinster's Nook is located in the extensive grounds of the owners' medieval house set in the picturesque village of Smarden. The converted thatched cottage offers luxurious open plan living with lots of ingenuity, making the most of the interior space. The parquet flooring has been up-cycled from The Cloth Hall and now hides the underfloor heating. There is a sumptuous king sized bed and a state of the art shower room. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a clever folding table for dining. There is a courtyard garden with furniture and shared use of the owner's heated pool. The gardens surrounding the cottage are well maintained and extensive. You can walk into the pretty village of Smarden and the area is perfect for exploring all that Kent has to offer.

Beautiful location, clean and well equipped, friendly owners and nice fresh produce from the garden. Appreciated finding provisions in the fridge when we arrived and enjoyed the Spitfire flyovers most evenings; would definitely recommend this property.

Just returned home from a overly few days at Spinters Nook with the dog. The accommodation is cosy and has everything you need. We were so lucky with the weather and made the most of the beautiful pool which was so clean and relaxing! Will definitely be returning!
