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 transport - 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 - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - 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 - Up to 25 kg 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. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property - 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 centre - 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 ![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.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=82478285&PinnedHotelID=82478285&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/87000000/86210000/86207800/86207703/56faeffc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Canterbury countryside.

Lovely swing, trampoline and other various toys and bits around and in the cottage. The pictures don’t do it justice, the garden is huge and be prepared to get your steps in walking around it! Inside the cottage is beautiful and really gives you the home feeling while being on holiday. The hosts were 100% perfect with great communication and extremely welcoming. From the start of the booking process to the checking out, it was stress free and so easy. We appreciate everything that was done and how easy it all was.

It was so special from start to finish! The cottage is hidden away from the real world, very peaceful. The garden is fantastic, with beautiful views out into the Eastwell manor grounds. Inside everything was clean and perfectly presented. So many original features and nods the older building with modern features to make cooking and relaxing nice and easy. Everything labelled clearly which is great, no confusion over keys, cupboards or lights. Tim was just leaving when we arrived and it was a pleasure to meet before we unpacked and settled in. A few helpful tips with the pool which was great, we got straight in and it was absolutely divine! I cannot fault our stay in any way, it was perfect. Thank you Tim and Maite. ##### Emma B.

Beautiful surprise of being able to walk all round the old golf course and manor grounds over the fence We loved it! thank you ! ##### emma Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla W. 2 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect holiday - Amazing cottage Myself, my family and friends recently stayed in the cottage and we had the best time. From the minute we booked Tim was always on hand to answer any questions we had. The cottage itself was immaculate, and the personal touches such as sweets on the children's beds, fresh pastries on arrival, chargers plugged in for our use etc were fab. We stayed for the week and barely left the cottage as the children were having so much fun in the pool. 100% would recommend this property for a UK break. Location is fab for days out although we did not make the most of that as we had brilliant weather so stayed by the pool most days. ##### Karla W.

We spent our days round the pool, which the children loved. It was peaceful and quiet, great location for a getaway. ##### Jenny C.

It is set in the most beautiful grounds, with a heated pool and trampoline. The beds were very comfortable, with high quality bed linen and super fluffy towels. Tim and Maite were immediately on hand when we needed to check anything, which was very reassuring. Great location - ideal for days out to Canterbury, Whitstable, the coast and many quaint Kent villages. We also ate out at some very good local eateries and walked to the village green to watch cricket. There was even a Scarecrow Safari the weekend we stayed! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break away. Thanks so much! ##### Caroline H.
