We had a lovely week in this cottage near Biddenden. The cottage was well-equipped and the location was very peaceful with lovely country views. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. It was easy to access local villages, towns and attractions from the cottage, despite its hidden-away situation.

This is a wonderfully remote location with a goat, geese and sheep not far away. It's much more spacious than "Bothy" implies. A very rich variety of birds feeds from feeders just outside the living room patio doors.

A comfortable, well equipped cottage in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Goat, sheep, ponies, geese, and an abundance of wild birds visit the feeders. Plenty of interesting places to visit within easy reach. Many great eateries locally.
