Property code: OC-TN567

Set down a quiet private country lane on the outskirts of the village and in Rolvenden Layne - this quirky, characterful cottage is utterly charming, welcoming and beautifully presented.  Lovely undisturbed countryside surroundings in this idyllic Kent village. The cottage can sleep up to 4 comfortably but as you have to go through the single room to get to the attic double, it is recommended for family use.  The inglenook fireplace is home to a huge wood burning stove - so winter breaks will be as cosy as summer holidays!  From this great cottage you have easy access to many places of interest including the popular country towns of Cranbrook and Tenterden, Sissinghurst Castle Gardens, Bodiam Castle, award winning Biddenden and Chapel Down vineyards, Smallhythe Place and what better way of seeing the countryside than a trip on the Kent & Sussex Steam Railway.  Great walks and rambles in the area that usually end up at the Ewe & Lamb pub!  Dog friendly...

Beautiful period cottage with every modern convenience. Located in a village with a good inn just a short walk away which has particularly good food. Village shop a mile away and 3 miles from nearest town with larger supermarket and lovely high street with independent shops. Centrally located for many places of interest and the coast.

Such a super cosy cottage in the countryside. So good weve visited twice (which is unusual for us). The kitchen is so well stocked that it makes self catering easy. We love the quirky floors & doors. The log burner adds the finishing touches.
