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?

This is wonderful accommodation in a picture postcard setting. Property is extremely well presented with everything you need. Location could not be better. If you like village settings and archetypal country pubs on your doorstep, then this is for you. Highly recommended.

It was a beautyful cottage, best place to chill either in the cottage or in the Garden. There was also place for our bycicles. We enjoy to explore Kent by bike or car also the pubs near by. We can commend Riverside cottage.

Peaceful location. Beautiful Sunsets

Tony was a pleasure to interact with before and during our stay. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. It was also well outfitted with supplies. Great little village with walking trails and pub that brews their own beer nearby. The cottage was also conveniently located and easy to get out and about each day.

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
