This romantic traditional English country cottage is host to all the beautiful features you would expect to find.

It has recently been renovated to provide a wonderful self-catering Kent holiday home. With a traditional brick path leading up to the front door of this English holiday cottage and surrounded by immaculate front and back gardens, this is set in a truly romantic location for a special break away.
Box Cottage has been sympathetically furnished with traditional pieces complimented beautifully with up to date soft furnishings. A special feature of the Kent holiday cottage is the exposed inglenook fireplace in the dining room which has a fully-working wood burning stove to ensure that your winter breaks are cosy and comfortable. Original old pine floorboards downstairs add to the character, as well as traditional brick flooring in the entrance hall. A small winding staircase leads up to two bedrooms which are tucked into the eaves, both overlook the front garden out of little leaded windows and make the most of the stunning views of the rolling Kent countryside.
The pretty enclosed garden extends to the rear of the holiday cottage and from the kitchen you can wander out and enjoy the private outside space. As the holiday cottage is in such a rural area of Kent there are an extensive network of delightful footpaths to explore so it is ideal for walkers whether you are just looking for a short evening stroll or a long cross country ramble. In the colder months why not look forward to cosying up by the fireplace with a good book and glass of wine. This cottage is ideal for anytime of year.

Perfect cozy cottage for our Xmas stay. The dogs loved the secure garden and excellent walks literally out the door. Cottage was well equipped and we loved the log burner in the evenings with a glass of mulled wine and a pack of cards. As previous guests have said watch your head on the back door and the stairs are steep but this all added to the charm . Ideal location for travelling around and lovely local pub and food would highly recommend.

Maison très agréable et mignonne. il y a tout ce qu il faut . Le petit jardin est charmant. Le village est paisible. Un plus: le pub.

A lovely old cottage in a great location - being within a short walking distance of a fantastic pub is definitely a bonus. Sunday lunch was brilliant. Lots of lovely walks straight out of the door for the dogs was heaven. The cottage is really well equipped - I always have slight trepidation about a lack of a sharp knife or other everyday items - but absolutely no worries here. The stairs in the cottage are a bit steep for anyone with mobility issues, but are to be expected in such a property. There are also some low doorways, particularly the main bedroom. I'm not that tall, but I must've hit my head half a dozen times during the week - that's my fault, but just be aware. The TV isn't photographed and my other half was worried it would be tiny, but again it's a good sized modern HD telly if you were wondering.My one gripe about the village is that there's no public litter/ dog poo bins anywhere, not great for dog owners. You need to bring it home with you.
