About this property

Settled in the heart of Maidstone in Kent near the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Villa Vanilla. This luxurious holiday home benefits from a fabulous rear garden with table and chairs and a top of the range hydrotherapy tub, close proximity to the town’s amenities and two beautifully presented bedrooms; an idyllic space for couples or small families looking to explore the gardens of England. Make your way inside to find a fully-equipped, contemporary kitchen where you can prepare tasty meals which can then be enjoyed at the dining table or alfresco in the garden. Savour the last of the sun in the hydrotherapy tub or admire the stars as they begin to fill the sky. Later, snuggle up on the plush corner sofa in the sitting room in front of the Sky Glass TV ready for family film night. When sleep calls, climb the stairs to wash off the day in the bathroom before catching your rest in the king-size or twin bedroom. During the day, venture into the heart of town to stock up on essentials to help ease your self-catered stay or savour the evening with drinks or food at pubs like The Brenchley or the Druid Arms. The town also houses the Maidstone Museum where you can admire art and historic artefacts in the stunning setting of an Elizabethan Manor, and the Kent Life Museum which focuses on the town’s rural past, with farming history and tractors displayed in its 28 acres. Continue to delve into the past at Leeds Castle where you can roam the castle and gardens, lose yourself in the maze and take advantage of the zip slides or head north to find Rochester and Upnor Castle as well as the Royal Engineers Museum. Villa Vanilla is close to Barming Train Station which takes you directly to London to enjoy a day trip to the Capital. Be sure to spend the full day at Diggerland, a haven for both kids and adults!

Maidstone is the county town of Kent, also known as the "Garden of England." In this area, picturesque villages and important historical sites are surrounded by orchards and hop gardens. Visitors to Maidstone can spend the morning doing some retail therapy at Fremlin Walk Shopping Centre before heading to the Maidstone Museum & Bentlif Art Gallery for some culture in the afternoon. Located on the banks of the River Medway, the 14th-century Archbishop's Palace is a popular tourist destination. If you're in the mood for a river trip, why not take a cruise down the Maidstone Millennium River Park on the historic Kentish Lady? The Kent Life Museum offers an enlightening glimpse into the county's rural past, and a day spent perusing the Tyrwhitt-Drake Museum of Carriages' ornate sleighs, sedan chairs, and horse-drawn vehicles is also a worthwhile activity. Surrounding the bustling town of Maidstone, which is home to numerous eateries, watering holes, and cultural venues, is beautiful countryside. Lenham, Marden, Headcorn, and Yalding are just a few examples of the quaint villages dotted throughout this picturesque county where you can enjoy afternoon tea in a charming tea room or a pint of local ale in one of the many pubs. Explore the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on foot or two wheels, take a ferry ride across the English Channel from Dover, or pay a visit to the National Trust's Stoneacre estate. Leeds Castle is widely regarded as the world's loveliest castle, and a visit to this area of Kent would be incomplete without spending a day there. Catherine of Aragon, Henry viii's first wife, lived in this magnificent palace, which now features glittering lake, 500 acres of glorious parkland, and fun maze and tells the story of English royalty through the ages. The county seat of Kent, Maidstone, is a thriving metropolis with a wealth of attractions within easy driving distance.
