Kingshoath Cottage is a comfortable, well-equipped grade II listed 16th-century character cottage situated on a country lane on the outskirts of the village of Beckley, between Rye and Battle. The cottage is a short walk from a real country pub the "Rose & Crown" and only 8 miles from the beaches of Camber Sands. See our website for more local information. The property is Visit England-graded 4-star gold and accommodates up to 8 guests, although smaller parties often book and enjoy the space (small party discounts available for parties 5 and under). Please note: we are NOT airBnB. If you seek an AirBNB then this is not our cottage! VRBO retain all payments until you arrive. We do not receive any payment until then. Kingshoath offers versatile accommodation with a warm "hugga" and rustic atmosphere. Oak beams throughout and oak flooring downstairs. The cottage has a large lounge with an open log fire, a separate dining room with an adjoining small sitting room, a modern fitted country kitchen, study c/w library, utility room, two bathrooms and four bedrooms (two double and two twins). To the rear of the cottage is a well-maintained enclosed mature lawn garden complete with summer house and is child friendly - children's swing, garden furniture/toys, BBQ. To the side of the cottage is off-road parking for three cars. Within 400m of the cottage is a traditional English country pub (Rose & Crown) which serves good home-cooked food in a genuine working country side atmosphere. This is a truly wonderful location for exploring 1066 countryside, providing easy access to the Sussex Coastline / Beaches as well as the ancient towns of Battle, Rye and Tenterden or just relaxing with a good book. If you are seeking something different, take the steam train from Northiam to the picturesque Bodium castle or, the antique and coffee shops in Tenterden. There is a very good factory outlet shopping center at Ashford (McArthurGlen) that caters to many luxury designer brands. Alternatively, either take the Euro shuttle for a day shopping in France or a light aircraft flight from Lydd to Le Touquet. Plenty of good walking, horse riding, golf, water sports, or simply relaxation in front of an open fire. ACCESS:- If you have mobility issues, please check with us as the cottage is a period property there are some steps and the main stairs are a little steeper than a modern house. BEFORE BOOKING:- We work very hard to provide a pleasant stay, however, please note if you have very specific requirements or expectations please contact us before booking. For example, the cottage roots lie in the 1650's, thus the cottage is not built to modern business regs, floors can slope a little, door heights are lower, we have some friendly country spiders that no matter when we evict them, some can come back overnight, with an open fire it generates more dust than a house without no matter how much it is dusted, however, it all adds to the charm. We seek to be fully transparent. See our website blog for further information on events. Lastly, we recommend all guests take out travel insurance as you would for any holiday in case the unexpected happens. All other T&C remain unchanged.
