Fabulous Kent Getaway
We had the pleasure of visiting Mafeking in early December for a weekend getaway to the Kent countryside. The cottage was perfect - warm and cosy and a short drive from Leeds Castle and the vineyards at Chapel Downs for an amazing lunch. At night we walked up the road to the local pub for a great dinner then returned to Mafeking for an evening in front of the fire. Just sublime.

Fantastic house!
We loved our stay in Mafeking - it’s really spacious, light, cosy and beautifully decorated and had absolutely everything that we needed with a young family. We honestly couldn’t have been happier there and will definitely return when we’re back in the area! Thank you so much for having us!
