About this property
Riverside Cottage is a quiet haven for two. Right on the East Stour river.
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?

After a long journey with heavy traffic it was a pleasure to have a warm greeting by the owners and to rest in this beautiful cottage . We had a lovely time at Lympne wild animal park, and the next day at Canterbury cathedral . Would highly recommend this accommodation and its setting in the countryside is just perfect
Had a wedding at Pirt Lympne!Ideal location ,lovely setting with fab views!Lovely clean comfortable accommodation for our 2 night stay!Great pub to walk to for some food the first night !Lots of places to visit nearby .
Communication with Tony was easy. Proberty was clean and had everything we needed. The location was absolutely perfect. Very relaxing which was just what we needed. Would highly recommend
This more than lives up to the photos, is spotless and immaculate, and the hosts are great.
The location in a quiet village, with a great pub/restaurant at 100 yards away is difficult to beat.
Can't find a single fault
My daughter and I were delighted with our stay - the sunny patio and garden area look out onto the countryside. The property was well equipped and the bathroom was roomy with plenty of storage space. The decor was very pleasant. Location for us was perfect for visiting family in Ashford, only a 15 to 20min drive away
This is wonderful accommodation in a picture postcard setting. Property is extremely well presented with everything you need. Location could not be better. If you like village settings and archetypal country pubs on your doorstep, then this is for you. Highly recommended.
It was a beautyful cottage, best place to chill either in the cottage or in the Garden. There was also place for our bycicles. We enjoy to explore Kent by bike or car also the pubs near by. We can commend Riverside cottage.
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.
We had three nights in this beautiful cottage. We had a friendly welcome from our host, the accommodation was spotless and exactly as the photos showed. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather which enabled us to walk around this village and sample the hospitality of both local pubs but even better to sit out on the west facing patio with a glass of wine and watch the sun go
down. Would certainly recommend.
Peaceful, relaxing stay in delightful accomodation
The perfect accomodation for 2, very clean with lovely decor and everything we required. Although next to owners home, felt private with Own entrance and lovely views of the countryside from a small patio area. In a nice village location and the choice of 2 local pubs both very friendly with great food and one only 2 mins walk down the road. We enjoyed Rye, Hythe,walking in the area and the Steam railway, would have visited Port Lympne wildlife reserve if weather had been better. But lots to do within half hours drive from this accomodation. Highly recommend.
Very nice and cosy cottage, clean and has all the amenities that you would require. great location for visiting variety of places around Kent, very friendly and helpful hosts!
Would definitely suggest staying here!
Lovely, cosy, clean cottage with fabulous views in a lovely village. The hosts are very friendly and informative.
It's a perfect location for us when visiting family, we are glad to have found this little gem.
We had a wonderfully relaxing 4 night stay. Location is ver quiet and picturesque would definitely return. The cottage is very tastefully done. Shower was amazing
Riverside cottage is such a great property in so many ways. Great hosts, spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could want for a little self catering break plus lovely views across the fields. And a great pub just up the road!
Highly recommended!!!
Very comfortable modern accommodation very clean.Fantastic uninterrupted views across farmland with small sun trap patio. Ideally situated to explore Kent.An excellent pub within walking distance serving great food. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
