About this property
This beautiful, period cottage sits on the edge of the Leeds Castle estate and directly opposite the historic Battle Hall and the Oast. Wonderfully appointed throughout, with character features that keep in age of the property, Battle Hall Cottage welcomes families and couples looking for a beautiful residence in this part of Kent. After a day of exploring all that Leeds Castle and its grounds has to offer, pop off your boots in the hallway and discover the sitting room, complete with exposed beams, a corner sofa, Smart TV and a feature fireplace, here you can spend your down time catching up on your favourite shows. Allow the house chef to impress in the kitchen, whipping up a tasty treat with assistance from the range of appliances, plus there’s even a dishwasher so cleaning up will be no hassle! As you look to catch some rest, climb upstairs and discover the bedrooms, including a double and twin, both presented in neutral tones whilst offering that traditional cottage feel. Start your morning with a rejuvenating rinse in the bathroom before preparing a coffee and stepping out to the garden decking. This semi-detached cottage is surrounded by good size garden and adjoining fields, providing plenty of space for your four-legged friend to stretch their legs. Just a short walk away is the Leeds Castle Estate which all guests have access to during their stay. When your hunger strikes, on the edge of the village are some country pubs such as the George and the Windmill in the neighbouring villages of Leeds and Hollingbourne. You could even take an evening hillside stroll to the Castle View Restaurant in the grounds. In the car and head to Whitstable or Herne Bay, Victorian seaside resorts boasting stretches of sandy views and a unique shingle beach. Along the coast Broadstairs is well worth a visit, with a fun pier where families can enjoy fairground rides and local delicacies at food and drink stalls. Continue exploring over to the Cathedral City of Canterbury. Canterbury has been a site of pilgrimage since Chaucer’s day and as well as Canterbury Cathedral itself there is St Dunstan, which reputedly houses the head of St Thomas More, and the Roman Catholic Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, where relics of Thomas Becket himself are enshrined. Once you have caught up on your history there are many shops and restaurants which are well worth a visit. There’s plenty to enjoy whilst holiday at Battle Hall Cottage
