We're located within the beautiful Kent Downs area of outstanding natural beauty and the views from our garden overlook the Eastwell Manor Country Estate. The cottage is steeped in History dating back to the 16th century when originally built as a one-room dwelling by Richard Plantagenet, a natural son of King Richard III \[the one they found under the car park in Leicester\], so our Richard was, in theory, the last in the bloodline of the Plantagenet Kings of England. It's a fascinating story and you will find books and other information about this at the cottage. We are ideally suited to 6 people \[possible 7th on pull out mattress\] across 3 luxurious bedrooms - the entire detached property has been recently refurbished to a high standard providing all modern amenities and comfort whilst maintaining the cottage's rustic charm and historical character. The large living area has 2 comfortable sofas, a 40" plasma smart TV with Netflix, Amazon / iPlayer etc. It also has a large inglenook fireplace with a new Wood Burning Stove - it's lovely having cozy log fires in colder months. The dining area has a table seated for 6/7 people below a vaulted ceiling with a gothic arch looking out to the garden. There is also an office space with network ports and printer and USB charging from most rooms. The fully equipped kitchen has new appliances and hopefully everything you might need ! Our bathroom has a bath, rain shower, toilet and sink - and it has a cubby hole inside a recently exposed old fireplace. The garden wraps around the property and has a park like feel with lots of well established trees & shrubs. Lots of space for kids to play .. we even have 'Teletubby' mounds! There is a BBQ, a swing and outside seating areas and new this year is a large in-ground trampoline, which is proving to be great fun for small and big kids too ! A definite highlight in warmer months is the outdoor heated swimming pool which is in a walled area in a sunny corner of the garden. POOL OPEN BETWEEN APRIL TO END OF SEPTEMBER - exact date is weather dependant. Hot-Tub available to hire on request. Our cottage is in a delightful spot that we think has a lovely relaxed feeling and good atmosphere. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 4 pets total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: No smoking inside the property please. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Heated pool - Optional golf privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 1,722 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121060000/121054000/121053992/bc59c0c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ELEVATED ESCAPE - 3 bedroom house with rooftop terrace,sauna,hot tub&cinema room Hythe - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=121053992&PinnedHotelID=121053992&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82480000/82478300/82478285/cc7b1efe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unique property, nestled in the pretty countryside, near the village of Kingston Kingston - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=82478285&PinnedHotelID=82478285&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95480000/95470600/95470502/1612f1ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kent Pool House Family & Pet Friendly With Your own Private Swimming Pool Sittingbourne - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=95470502&PinnedHotelID=95470502&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113960000/113952400/113952376/423623f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A tranquil farm stay in the Weald of Kent, 50mins from central London via PT.
