About this property

Peaceful Kentish Country Cottage - just 35 minutes from London

Located down a long private drive with far reaching views over the surrounding countryside, Hawthorn Cottage built in 1880, was originally part of the neighbouring Hop Farm, where it was used to house the hop wagons. Now converted, it provides an idyllic rural setting for a peaceful visit to Kent. The variety of attractions in the area are unlimited and include the Kentish towns of Maidstone, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks; Leeds, Hever and Scotney Castles, and historical attractions such as Chartwell and Penshurst Place. The local area also boasts All Saints Church at Tudeley, the only church in the world with all windows in stained glass and designed by Marc Chagall. Situated just 4 miles from the town of Tonbridge, London can also be reached by train in 50 minutes. Hawthorn Cottage is an ideal location for your stay in Kent.

perfect location
From this location, a person can comfortably tour southern England and the London area and return "home" each night. Very comfortable and clean. Good pub within walking distance.

Eine regenreiche Woche
Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Wohngegend und ist gut mit dem Auto erreichbar. Man hat die Wahl zwischen schönen Spaziergängen river medway und der Besichtigung historischer Bauten. Insgesamt empfehlenswert.

Stay was just ok
The highlights were the setting which was peaceful and quiet, as well as the level of cleanliness and comfortable beds. Otherwise it was a very mediocre experience: tired furniture, teeny tiny shower with no place to put soap or shampoo but the shower floor, pretty dismal heating system, no television streaming services which have become quite typical at vrbos, completely inefficient clothes dryer that took 2 hours to complete a load. The biggest disappointment however were the owners. Although they did respond promptly to a couple maintenance issues, they pretty much ignored us for 5 weeks without checking to see if we needed cleaning, toilet paper, garbage bags, anything. Seems they thought they would enjoy the financial gain of our long stay without having to pay an iota of attention.
