With a traditional brick path leading up to the front door of this English holiday cottage and surrounded by immaculate front and back gardens, this is set in a truly romantic location for a special break away.
Box Cottage has been sympathetically furnished with traditional pieces complimented beautifully with up to date soft furnishings. A special feature of the Kent holiday cottage is the exposed inglenook fireplace in the dining room which has a fully-working wood burning stove to ensure that your winter breaks are cosy and comfortable. Original old pine floorboards downstairs add to the character, as well as traditional brick flooring in the entrance hall. A small winding staircase leads up to two bedrooms which are tucked into the eaves, both overlook the front garden out of little leaded windows and make the most of the stunning views of the rolling Kent countryside.
The pretty enclosed garden extends to the rear of the holiday cottage and from the kitchen you can wander out and enjoy the private outside space. As the holiday cottage is in such a rural area of Kent there are an extensive network of delightful footpaths to explore so it is ideal for walkers whether you are just looking for a short evening stroll or a long cross country ramble. In the colder months why not look forward to cosying up by the fireplace with a good book and glass of wine. This cottage is ideal for anytime of year.

A lovely cottage. Very old and full of character. Beautiful garden in very quiet village but only 20 mins drive from Faversham. The cottage is kitted out with everything you need. The welcome basket was fantastic. We only used the log burner once which made it toasty, but otherwise the cottage was warm. Beds comfortable. The stairs are very steep and not suitable for children or an older person.The Carpenters Arms pub is wel worth a visit. We will certainly make another booking.

Box Cottage is absolut lovely. A charming old house with a faboulus working stove and plenty of wood to fire it. Of course there is a good working central heating too.The eating place near the fire sits three.The beds upstairs in two rooms are comfortable, but the staircase is adventourus, not for old people.The garden is nice and well kept. Just The birds seem love to sit above the table and......We had a very warm welcome with flowers, fruits and plenty of goods for the breakfast.If you have a car access is easy and your are inmidst the sightseeing spots of Kent.
