Dr Goffin
A comfortable cottage in an easily accessible but out of the way location. Lots to see in easy reach of the location, such as Leeds Castle. Some nice footpaths available from the property.

Mr King
A nice little cottage, very rustic and quiet and once inside it feels like you could be stepping into a Harry Potter movie. Great for nature lovers with a variety of wild life in the old orchard, not so great for arachnophobes as I had to evict quite a few spiders, but this is to be expected in the country.

This is cottage is in a wonderfully peaceful location and is ideal for getting away from it all. The grounds are a haven for nature and there are very enjoyable walks from the cottage.
