1 Bedroom Cottage in Mersham, Ashford

Riverside Cottage is a quiet little haven for two, only a stone's throw from the East Stour river. Beautifully furnished and overlooking farmland, this is a lovely spot for a relaxing break with great country walks from the doorstep and a good pub, the Farrier's Arms just a minute's walk from the front door. The village shop is less than half a mile up the road. Outside, you’ll have your own private patio, ideal for alfresco dinners and sit and watch the sunset, or a peaceful morning coffee.
Situated in the heart of the Kentish countryside it offers easy access to London via Ashford international station, is just 10 mins drive from the Channel Tunnel and 25 mins from Dover. Canterbury is just 20 min away and offers a great nightlife with bars and restaurants. Including the Boys Hall 17th Century boutique restaurant nearby and having been recently restored offers excellent food.
We are often lucky to see the hot air balloons coming from nearby Leeds Castle drifting low and Spitfire aircraft flying low above the property. It’s quite a sight.
As well as having the 16th Century Farriers Arms over the road we also have the recently refurbished Royal Oak near the corner shop at the top of the road, with an excellent menu - including a take away service.
Private parking directly to the right hand side of the gravel drive, with a short walk to cottage entrance at rear of property.
This is where you will find the key safe and your private patio area looking out across the fields.
If there are any problems during your stay please feel free to contact me or Vivien by mobile and if were around just call and know at the front door.
We can provide a travel cot and a high chair if you’re bringing a small child, but please call prior to arrange before your arrival?

Summary: The property is a nice size and great location for a quiet rural stay. Communications with the host was good. We enjoyed our stay however the bed and sofa were uncomfortable. The shower was great, although the towels were on the small side. It was also a shame that the TV had very little options, couldn't even get ITV! Would have been nice to have watched a movie in the evening after a long day out. For what they cost a TV upgrade to a smart one is very much needed.
