If you are seeking something different, take the steam train from Northiam to the picturesque Bodium Castle or the antique and coffee shops in Tenterden. There is a very good factory outlet shopping center at Ashford (McArthurGlen) that caters to many luxury designer brands. Alternatively, either take the Euro shuttle for a day of shopping in France or a light aircraft flight from Lydd to Le Touquet. Plenty of good walking, horse riding, golf, water sports, or simply relaxation in front of an open fire.

ACCESS:- If you have mobility issues, please check with us as the cottage is a period property, there are some steps, and the main stairs are a little steeper than a modern house.

BEFORE BOOKING:- We work very hard to provide a pleasant stay; however, please note if you have very specific requirements or expectations, please contact us before booking. For example, the cottage roots lie in the 1650's, thus the cottage is not built to modern building regs, floors can slope a little, door heights are lower, we have some friendly country spiders that no matter when we evict them, can come back overnight, with an open fire it generates more dust than a house without no matter how much it is dusted, however, it all adds to the charm.
We seek to be fully transparent.

See our website blog for further information on events. Lastly, we recommend all guests take out travel insurance as you would for any holiday in case the unexpected happens.
