Surrounded by the rolling landscape of the quiet hamlet of Bodsham in the Kent Downs, this delightful rural getaway offers a peaceful retreat for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Bodsham is a haven for those who love nothing better than exploring the great outdoors, home to several scenic country lanes awaiting to be explored on foot or by bike; the spectacular scenery of the North Downs Way can be reached within 2 miles. Nestled in the hills of the Kent Downs National Landscape, the medieval village of Wye 5 miles away, is as picturesque as they come, home to some wonderful pubs serving locally sourced produce. From countryside to coast, enjoy a day out at the seaside at nearby Hythe, 8 miles away, a former Cinque Port with an interesting maritime history.

Hang up your coat and kick off your shoes in the entrance hallway before leading the way into the spacious lounge/diner. The welcoming space is flooded with plenty of natural light and boasts wonderful rural views. Combining original features, including a beamed ceiling, and with homely touches, the heart of this home-from-home beckons tired travellers to unwind and dine with loved ones long into the evening. The country-cottage-style kitchen will capture your imagination, inspiring you to whip up some hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners with your fabulous local produce. Brimming with contemporary sophistication, the family bathroom provides everything you need to feel refreshed. There are two light and bright bedrooms on offer, one king-size and one single, both featuring soothing neutral hues and lovely views to wake up to.
