5.0

This charming home sits in the grounds of its owner's residence, surrounded by woodland. It’s a pretty and peaceful home, ideal for friends or couples looking to enjoy a break away from the city. This lovely home is just a seven-minute drive from Tonbridge, with its shops, bars, restaurants, and cafes. It’s also home to one of Britain’s oldest medieval castles, which is well worth a visit. For even more choice when shopping, you might drive thirteen minutes to Royal Tunbridge Wells. For something a little more active, hire canoes or kayaks and journey along the River Medway. Round things off with a pub lunch for a pretty perfect day. The house itself is cheerful and welcoming, with everything you might need for your stay. You’ll wake up each morning feeling well-rested thanks to the comfortable bedrooms, and then might whip up breakfast to share at the dining table. After a day spent seeing the sights, you can return to this cosy haven and spend the evening in the garden. Let the kids tire themselves out playing table tennis and bouncing on the trampoline while you sip cocktails in the patio garden. Fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast, and later on toast marshmallows around the fire pit.

About Royal Tunbridge Wells

Tunbridge Wells once had a reputation for being a bit stuffy. Happily, what was caused by a few grumpy letters to a newspaper nearly a century ago has been put behind it. A vibrant, affluent town, it’s far from being stuck in the past. As well as the more modern shopping precinct at the top end of town, if you take a walk along its historic colonnade – The Pantiles...
