The Bothy at Fordcombe
Quaint charming barn with the best of both worlds, in the depths of the country and yet close to Tunbridge Wells.. All on the Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: TV, DVD Player, CD Player, Woodburner
Kitchen: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine, Tumble Dryer
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds Ensuite: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet. Central heating and Wi-Fi included. Paddock with patio and barbecue. Private parking for 2 cars.. Fordcombe is a quaint country village nestling on the borders of Kent and Sussex surrounded by a rolling patchwork of farmland and woods. Within the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Scientific Interest it is an ideal base to discover the delights of these two picturesque counties.
Enjoy the rural atmosphere whilst being close to the market towns of Sevenoaks and Tonbridge and some of Kent’s most famous gardens - one with an enchanted forest, thrilling historic castles and houses, tempting vineyards and cosy pubs. Explore the spectacular combination of Sussex coast and countryside that is 1066 Country with Roman remains, medieval monasteries, windmills, nature reserves, blue flag beaches and cosmopolitan marinas. Even the great sights of the city of London are only an hour’s drive away or 35 mins by fast train from nearby Tonbridge Station - the choice is yours!
Originally built in the 19th Century to house gardening staff, it has recently been lovingly renovated into a light and airy holiday home especially suited to families and less able guests, with level access throughout the main bedroom and living areas. Golden wood floors, walls and carpets the colour of clotted cream, and dashes of blue tones create a warm, comfortable home from home.
The property features entrance lobby, lounge/dining room, fully equipped kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite shower room and twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower over bath. Children can enjoy a bit of independence playing in the large, private paddock whilst you can find time to enjoy the tranquil surroundings on the patio.

The Bothy, Fordcombe
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Bothy is very smart and well appointed. We couldn't find any manual with explanations about how things worked etc but we largely managed to sort them out. The area is well provided for in terms of National Trust properties and the nearest pub (The Hare) is worth a visit for good food.

Thank you so much
We rented this property so my visiting brother it was absolutely lovely so well equipped and comfortable with a lovely log burner. It is very private and has a lovely outdoor space which would be great in Summer. The owners were so lovely and helpful it is in a perfect rural spot yet very close to Tunbridge Wells. We will definitely be booking again when my brothers from abroad visit. Thank you Again
