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

Riverside Cottage is a quiet haven for two. Right on the East Stour river.

Riverside Cottage is a quiet little haven for two, only a stone's throw from the East Stour river. Beautifully furnished and overlooking farmland, this is a lovely spot for a relaxing break with great country walks from the doorstep and a good pub, the Farrier's Arms just a minute's walk from the front door. The village shop is less than half a mile up the road. Outside, you’ll have your own private patio, ideal for alfresco dinners and sit and watch the sunset, or a peaceful morning coffee.

Situated in the heart of the Kentish countryside it offers easy access to London via Ashford international station, is just 10 mins drive from the Channel Tunnel and 25 mins from Dover. Canterbury is just 20 min away and offers a great nightlife with bars and restaurants. Including the Boys Hall 17th Century boutique restaurant nearby and having been recently restored offers excellent food.

We are often lucky to see the hot air balloons coming from nearby Leeds Castle drifting low and Spitfire aircraft flying low above the property. It’s quite a sight.

As well as having the 16th Century Farriers Arms over the road we also have the recently refurbished Royal Oak near the corner shop at the top of the road, with an excellent menu - including a take away service.

Private parking directly to the right hand side of the gravel drive, with a short walk to cottage entrance at rear of property.

This is where you will find the key safe and your private patio area looking out across the fields.

If there are any problems during your stay please feel free to contact me or Vivien by mobile and if were around just call and know at the front door.

We can provide a travel cot and a high chair if you’re bringing a small child, but please call prior to arrange before your arrival?
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.

The property is a nice size and great location for a quiet rural stay. Communications with the host was good. We enjoyed our stay however the bed and sofa were uncomfortable. The shower was great, although the towels were on the small side. It was also a shame that the TV had very little options, couldn't even get ITV! Would have been nice to have watched a movie in the evening after a long day out. For what they cost a TV upgrade to a smart one is very much needed.

Peaceful, relaxing stay in delightful accomodation

The perfect accomodation for 2, very clean with lovely decor and everything we required. Although next to owners home, felt private with Own entrance and lovely views of the countryside from a small patio area. In a nice village location and the choice of 2 local pubs both very friendly with great food and one only 2 mins walk down the road. We enjoyed Rye, Hythe,walking in the area and the Steam railway, would have visited Port Lympne wildlife reserve if weather had been better. But lots to do within half hours drive from this accomodation. Highly recommend.

Riverside birthday

Pleasant little cottage on edge of village. Convenient for lots of places and easy access. Nice to have a topsheet on the bed for hot weather, as lots of places don't which is crazy hot with just duvet for summer nights. Would have been nice to have tea and milk, unusual not to be supplied, same for shampoo. The sofa in lounge rather uncomfortable for sitting for any length of time, would be better to have two comfy armchairs. Would give cottage a four out of five for these reasons. Host was a little impatient on day of departure by turning up with cleaning gear at 10.30am and not speaking, or asking if we'd enjoyed our stay, just as we were leaving.

Kent Idyll

We had three nights in this beautiful cottage. We had a friendly welcome from our host, the accommodation was spotless and exactly as the photos showed. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather which enabled us to walk around this village and sample the hospitality of both local pubs but even better to sit out on the west facing patio with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. Would certainly recommend.

A Little Haven

My daughter and I were delighted with our stay - the sunny patio and garden area look out onto the countryside. The property was well equipped and the bathroom was roomy with plenty of storage space. The decor was very pleasant. Location for us was perfect for visiting family in Ashford, only a 15 to 20min drive away

Little Gem

What a fabulous little holiday cottage. It is well equipped, modern and very comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything that you might need. Incredible views from the back garden, and as it faces west, you get to see gorgeous sunsets. A small parking space outside which is your space, ditch the car and take a five minute walk up to the pub for dinner. Fantastic food but do book in advance. I would highly recommend this property.
