About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A pretty 4* detached rural holiday cottage in the heart of the Kent countryside

A pretty self contained detached annex that's located in the grounds behind the owners family house, its peaceful and provides privacy, beautiful country views and has the use of its own small fenced gravelled courtyard with seating and BBQ. Car parking at the front of the main house for guests.

Surrounded by farmland fields and only 2 miles to the nearest Village of Staplehurst or Headcorn and mainline stations to London and Canterbury we are in a fantastic position for site seeing with many national trust and heritage sites locally. Plenty of countryside to walk and a great location to cycle.

The annexe has Wifi and two Tv's with free sat. The open plan loft room upstairs is ideal for party of 2 people but able to cater for 4 if necessary in one loft bedroom. 1 x king size bed and 1 x single with guest bed below.

Plenty of cupboards and draws for clothes storage, TV, PS3 & 1 controller, small sofa, dressing table with hair dryer, bookcase (with books, & CD's).

The kitchen is fully equipped with crockery, pans cutlery, fridge and small freezer, air fryer, kettle and toaster. This leads out into the gravel courtyard and round to the patio area that has stunning views over farmland.

The lounge has dining table and 4 chairs, leather sofa, Rocking Chair, coffee tables, wall mounted 43” Smart Tv that has Free view, Netflix, Prime Tv and much more. Board games and books for guests to enjoy.

The Bathroom is downstairs with shower, basin, toilet, laundry cupboard with automatic washing machine and clothes airer and outside washing line that is fully detachable.

The Annex is in a Rural location about 2 miles from the nearest village of Staplehurst and the village of Headcorn. A car in my opinion is essential to enable you to see all the beautiful countryside, visit the many national trust properties within a 10 mile radius and visit some of the counties pubs and restaurants.

Very comfortable stay

Very comfortable and well equipped detached annex within easy striking distance of nice Kent villages and several National Trust properties. Only negative would be a difficult driveway to exit on to a sharp bend with very limited visibility.

Perfect Getaway

The property was exactly what I was looking for, and was priced appropriately for a cute, cosy getaway. The locals were very welcoming, and we went on some nice country rambles in nearby villages, followed by hearty pub food. Everything was clean and in order, with an appreciated welcome basket of essentials (tea, coffee and cereal).

Wonderful rural cottage

Great place for a family seeking a quiet location. We were greeted by our gracious host, who showed us the cottage and gave us recommendations for nearby dining and places of interest - of which there are many. Watching cows and rabbits graze in the pasture was quite relaxing. Highly recommended!

Nice little country cottage

The house is perfect for a getaway in the Weald. It was spotlessly clean. A nice welcome package with milk, cereal and tea made breakfast easy. Everything was in good nick. Recommend their pub The Kings Head in nearby Staplehurst. Also 50 minutes to London from there if you want no more beautiful countryside.

Very Good, but.....

The let was clinically clean and poorly designed ithe a ground floor shower room / loo accessible through the Kitchen area and lounge and with no upstairs ablution arrangement. The motor exit is EXTREMELY dangerous to the unwary and I would not return for this reason alone

Perfect Relaxing

This little break is just what we needed. I am in early stages of pregnancy, so i wasn't up for doing much this week.. It was perfect. We took our nervous Greyhound, Rootsy, who coped amazingly. The setting was perfect for him, as it was very quiet, set back off the road and he was able to spend time in the fenced off garden without us having to worry about him. He wasn't too sure on our friendly neighbours (the cows!) However, i loved them! The village is beautiful, with everything you need a short drive down the road. I cannot recommend this little annexe enough, the host are very kind and understanding. The annexe was modern and spotless, with a shower to die for. We really hope to come back sometime, once little one has arrived. Thank you for the most relaxing 4 days.

A great place I can only recommend

Ein Superferiendomizil für bis zu vier Personen. Wir waren mit zwei Kinder, 12 und 14, dort. Es gibt ein tolles Willkommenspaket mit Kaffee, Tee, Milch ..., im Haus ist alles da, was man braucht, wir haben nichts vermisst. Die Ausstattung ist sehr durchdacht, bis hin zum Nähset, Klebeband und Waschmittel. Geschmackvolle Ausstattung, praktisch und wohnlich - und piccobello sauber. Eine ganz klare Empfehlung!

California annexe had everything we needed as a base for our stay in Kent. The bedroom and lounge were spacious and the kitchen and bathroom well equipped. The cottage was very comfortable and private, perfect for us to retire to for the evening after a day out. Will definitely consider re-booking.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Good quiet location, impeccably clean and tidy. The host was friendly, she greeted myself and my husband when we arrived and explained the best way to drive out of the property as it is on a very sharp, blind bend. We had a lovely welcome basket, which was very handy, which consisted of tea, coffee, bread, cereal, milk, butter, biscuits. The heating was on when we arrived. The host had thought of lots of nice little touches like dog bowl, poo bags, water container for dogs, magazines, games, books, dvds, straighteners, hairdryer, lovely soft towels, comfortable bed. the list is endless. Thoroughly enjoyed our two night break. Julie 😀
