Fordcombe, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
For those who truly want to get away, and be able to step outside into beautiful countryside yet live in elegance, The Bothy is for you.
Fordcombe is a quaint country village nestling on the borders of Kent and Sussex surrounded by a rolling patchwork of farmland and woods. Within the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Scientific Interest it is an ideal base to discover the delights of these two picturesque counties.
Enjoy the rural atmosphere whilst being close to the market towns of Sevenoaks and Tonbridge and some of Kent's most famous gardens – one with an enchanted forest, thrilling historic castles and houses, tempting vineyards and cosy pubs. Explore the spectacular combination of Sussex coast and countryside that is 1066 Country with Roman remains, medieval monasteries, windmills, nature reserves, blue flag beaches and cosmopolitan marinas. Even the great sights of the city of London are only an hour's drive away or 35 mins by fast train from nearby Tonbridge Station – the choice is yours!
Originally built in the 19th Century to house gardening staff, it has recently been lovingly renovated into a light and airy holiday home especially suited to families and less able guests, with level access throughout the main bedroom and living areas. Golden wood floors, walls and carpets the colour of clotted cream, and dashes of blue tones create a warm, comfortable home from home.
The property features entrance lobby, lounge/dining room, fully equipped kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite shower room and twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower over bath. Children can enjoy a bit of independence playing in the large, private paddock whilst “Mum and Dad” find time to enjoy the tranquil surroundings on the patio.

Just to let you know how thoroughly delightful this accommodation was! I hesitate to call it a "cottage" since it was so beautifully appointed.
The owners certainly deserve their rating and I would not hesitate to recommend The Bothy to others - and this level of quality leads me to conjecture that you have taken special care in assessing all your other properties equally carefully. That is most gratifying. - GD Canada | |
