Box Cottage Eastling

Box Cottage is in Eastling, which is a small village in Kent. It's a proper old cottage from the 1600s, so it's Grade II listed. It's named after the box hedging around it.

It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's got a 3 Star rating, so it's comfortable and clean rather than luxurious. The stairs are quite small and winding, so watch your head and your step.

There's a working wood burner in the inglenook fireplace. The floors downstairs are old pine and brick. The bedrooms are upstairs in the eaves, with small windows looking out over the front garden and the fields.

You get an enclosed garden at the back. There's parking on the quiet lane outside.

The village has a local pub. You're in a good spot for walking, with a lot of footpaths right from the door.

Faversham is about four miles away for shops and the station. Whitstable is a 20 minute drive for the harbour and seafood. Canterbury is about a 25 minute drive. If you want to go to the coast, places like Deal and Sandwich are within half an hour.

What's included: WiFi, bedding and towels, a washing machine. We can provide a cot and highchair. You can bring up to two dogs. There's a BBQ.
