Welcome to our English country retreat


Accomodation

Overview

Kingshoath Cottage is a Grade ll listed 16th Century semi-detached cottage lying in a country road just outside the village of Beckley. The property has a large lawned fully enclosed and private garden to the rear ideal for families and children. The sandy beach at Camber Sands is only 15 minutes away, the ancient town of Battle, Rye and Tenterden are all within 15 miles. Children will like the steam train, which can be taken from the village to either Bodium Castle or Tenterden. For something different, pick up the train to Paris from Ashford or, a light aircraft from Lydd to Le Touquet for the day or take car and Euro shuttle to access Brugge, the Venice of the north (not as far as one might think). For a traditional country Free House, The Rose and Crown is just 700 yards away and serves good home cooked food.

Access

  • Kingshoath is a spacious cottage with ample accommodation however, it is a property with its orgins in the 16th century. Consequently, some door heights are lower than todays standards (mainly door into blue bedroom). Additionally, there is a difference in ground foor levels with one 8" step between levels and, a step into the downstairs bathroom.
  • To the first floor are some steppish stairs although they have a solid handrail. All this adds to the chracter of the property but clients should be aware if access and mobility is an issue for them. If in doubt, please call us and we will provide more detailed information.
