THE PROPERTY:
Introductory rates are available for a short time only – book now to secure!

Mafeking is a 3-bedroom home in the centre of the pretty village of Benenden, Kent. With generous social and games room spaces, a sophisticated colour palette and shades of natural wood, it is perfect for families to explore this wonderful part of the Weald. This property is listed here by inspirestays-com, the premier independent holiday company in the South East. Visit us direct for full info about this home, including a floor plan.

To the left through the front door is a cosy snug room with comfortable seating, Smart TV, log burner and French doors onto a veranda. To the other side of the porch, the large sitting room offers a big sofa, armchairs and a Smart TV. With a picture window to the garden and double doors into the kitchen-dining room, it has a great open plan feel. The dining table sits in front of another log burner, and the kitchen is well-equipped for your stay. Beyond the kitchen is a convenient utility room and a separate study with monitor, USB-C docking station, keyboard and mouse for catching up with work.

The three bedrooms are gathered around the central dining area:
- Bedroom One: double (4'6) bed, built-in wardrobes and drawers and an en-suite shower room.
- Bedroom Two: king size (5') bed, wardrobe with drawer.
- Bedroom Three: single bed (80cm wide) and wardrobe with drawer, with a pull-out bed to make a 160cm side-by-side twin for bookings with 6 guests.

For booking with 5 guests or less, Bedroom Three will be made up as a single.
- Family bathroom: claw foot bath.

Outside, the garden provides a circular lawn, winding paths, a patio with table and chairs and plenty of trees and borders.

A wonderful family weekend
We had a wonderful stay at Mafeking. Everything you need is provided. We were a mixed aged - family group of 6. The house and garden are stunning. We enjoyed a barbecue sitting in the beautiful garden which is just perfect . It’s a quiet location but does have a good pub within walking distance. We took full advantage of the table football and table tennis table. The hosts left us a wonderful and generous Easter gift basket. A perfect weekend in a gorgeous, clean and comfortable home that has everything you need for the perfect countryside break.
