Description Neptune & Rose: Hastings

A gorgeous “chocolate box” thatch cottage nestled in rolling Kent countryside, this home looks like it's been pulled straight out of a fairy tale – complete with charming 15th-century beams, opulent furnishings, and brightly coloured flower beds.

However, don’t let its rustic charms fool you, this cottage is delightfully cosy and luxurious. Start your day dining in the conservatory while you observe the beautiful gardens outside. However, although you're peacefully secluded, you’re still within range of sights aplenty.

Shop at beautiful market town Tenterden, which is known as the Jewel of the Weald, and is only a ten-minute drive away. Or reconnect with nature at the wild Romney Marshes, less than twenty minutes away by car. Meanwhile, you can taste wines at the vineyard Gusbourne Estate – less than ten minutes away on foot

And when you retreat back home, languish in the glowing hot tub, which is elevated to help you take in even more of those beautiful sunsets. Inside, you can settle back in the electric reclining sofa with a glass of local wine and a good book.
