Wysteria Cottage
Pembury
Sitting in the grounds of the owners’ Georgian house, Wysteria Cottage is a converted coach house with its own small garden.
In a quiet little village, but still close to the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, it makes an excellent holiday retreat in the Weald of Kent.
Wysteria Cottage is cosily furnished, with an open fire in the dining room and a kitchen that overlooks the owners' attractive gardens. And with a double and a twin bedroom, it's a great cottage for a family holiday.

History on your Doorstep
Kent is not just England's garden, it's a treasure trove of history, too. From prehistoric times onwards, Kent has often been the entry port to England. So monuments here go way back. Here are a few attractions that should make it onto your must-see list when you're staying in one of the many wonderful holiday cottages in Kent.
Canterbury
Not just England's spiritual home, but a beautiful city in its own right with two Norman castles (I challenge you to find them!), wonderful little alleyways and streets to explore, great shopping, even better food and - of course - Canterbury Cathedral with all its marvels.
Dover Castle
This makes a LOOOONG day out, but is totally worth it. At Dover, you can really see history as a cake of many layers. From a prehistoric fort to WWII underground tunnels, Dover has it all. And now, it also has an amazing exhibition showing how the Great Tower would have looked during the times of one of England's most tempestuous kings: Henry II.
Sissinghurst
One of England's most famous and most popular gardens, Sissinghurst was a true labour of love for Vita Sackville-West and her husband Sir Harold Nicolson. Situated within the ruins of an Elizabethan house, it's now looked after by the National Trust. And with a charm and magic all of its own, it should be high on your list of places to visit if you're staying in one of the many holiday cottages in Kent close by.
Days Out and Things to Do
Holiday cottages in Kent make a great base for exploring and Wysteria Cottage is ideally situated for getting up close and acquainted with the Weald's ancient landscape.
Tucked away and peaceful, it's nevertheless close to Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sir Winston Churchill's home in Chartwell, Hever Castle and Leeds Castle. And if you love English gardens, then Sissinghurst, Vita Sackville-West's wonderful creation, will be a real treat.
Dover and the beautiful city of Canterbury are easily within day-trip range, too - and will give you many relaxing hours of sightseeing or simply meandering through the lanes. Provided, of course, that you can tear yourself away from the peace and tranquillity that is Wysteria Cottage.
