Hopper

In a sympathetically restored former hop house store, this apartment for two offers  comfortable accommodation in the stunning Kent countryside. A modest, fully equipped kitchen boasts an integrated fridge and ice box, along with all the cooking facilities you’d expect to find in a self-catering apartment. Rustling up a full English is easy, and devouring it on the traditional farmhouse dining table is even easier. An airy, open-plan living area offers a TV/DVD player and a squishy leather sofa for lazy mornings or relaxed movie nights.

A large double bedroom with warm wooden accents creates a lovely space to unwind. The six foot zip and link bed can be easily split apart to create two singles if required. An ensuite shower room and rustic furniture add warmth and practicality to this intimate space. After a day of exploring the local area, Hopper is a perfect little countryside haven to return to.

This apartment has views to the open air swimming pool. Sporting enthusiasts can challenge a loved one to a tennis tournament on the nearby court or head to the indoor games room for a few rounds of pool. A magical handmade treehouse awaits a child’s imagination whilst a play area and mini football pitch will surely wear them out before supper.

Explore the local area on foot by picking up a printed map from nearby Gastropub, the Poacher & Partridge and embarking on a refreshing country walk. You could even refuel with one of their famous wood-fired pizzas before setting off! For exploration a little further afield, Tonbridge Castle with its enchanting Medieval Gatehouse is 10-15 minutes by car.

Return home to Hopper after a day of local discovery and relax in total comfort. If you don’t fancy cooking you could always try award-winning local Indian restaurant Turmeric Gold — a 3-4 minute drive down the road. In the summer, a brick-built coal barbecue and communal patio allows for basking in the evening sun with delicious food and great company.
