About this property

Pickle Cottage Tenterden - modern, airy converted barn, formerly a pig shed!

We would be happy to welcome you to our recently converted timber framed building (once a pig shed!) with modern furnishing, wooden floors and high ceilings. 1 double and 1 twin bedroom. Fully equipped kitchen, WiFi, Freeview TV, walk-in shower. Peaceful Kentish countryside location, set in half an acre of garden, 1 mile from Tenterden. Suitable for weekend getaways, family holidays and also an ideal venue for small business meetings.

Pickle Cottage was once the "Pig Shed" for the farm and we have now renovated it to provide modern and spacious accommodation to suit 4 people. An additional bed can be provided on request for small additional fee.
The living/dining area is open plan and therefore large enough for small business meetings for 6-8 people during the day.

The owners, Guy and Clare, will be delighted to meet you and to help you discover the local area.

Sensational
Perfect for our stay. Great and simple check in and communication. We loved the size of the property, location and how quiet it was with a beautiful garden. Location to Tenterden was great and for everything we wanted to see. Loved the welcoming flowers and the surprise chocolates. Guy and Clare were great hosts.

Tranquil setting
We enjoyed our short stay after our long haul flight. The cottage had everything we could need, cosy and warm, set in beautiful grounds including a pond with a pontoon to sit and enjoy a drink. Close to the shops in Tenterden, the coast and National Trust properties. Wish we could have stayed longer.

One of the Best Rental Cottages
My wife and I have stayed in many holiday cottages in the UK over multiple years, and this was one of the best. The cottage is spacious with comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was fully equipped for our daily breakfast and dinner preparations and the property grounds are beautiful and quiet. The location is very convenient for visiting local attractions, including Great Dixter, Sissinghurst, Bodium Castle and Scotney Castle. The hosts were friendly and always available and helpful when needed.

Our Escape to the Country
After 7 weeks on the road travelling around the UK, our stay in Pickle Cottage gave us a wonderful, peaceful break. We came to visit the gardens of Kent and found ourselves living in one right there. It was close to the lovely town of Tenterden and also central to access other well know sights in the area. The cottage is beautifully set up with everything we needed. We thoroughly recommend this property.

Eine traumhafte Unterkunft
Der helle, wunderschöne und stilvoll ausgebaute ehemalige Schweinestall bietet viel Platz für einen unvergesslichen Urlaub. Offene, moderne Küche im großen Wohnraum. Es fehlt an absolut Nichts. Eigener, schöner Außenbereich und auch ein wunderhübscher Sitzplatz auf einem großem Teich inmitten eines wunderhübschen Gartens stehen zur Verfügung. Ein wahrer Traum. Die nahegelegene Kleinstadt Tenterden ist zauberhaft mit vielen kleinen Geschäften und Pubs. Viele Unternehmungen sind möglich- vorweg die gute Zuganbindung nach London.

Idyllic spot
We had excellent communication with our hosts, Clare and Guy. The location of Pickle Cottage is in the grounds of Haynes farm and has the benefit of its own garden but guests are able to use the all of the grounds. We spent one evening sitting overlooking the beautiful pond, a lovely place to relax after a day out. There are some lovely walks from the property without having to use your car

We bought Haynes Farm in 2006, when it was a barn with a corrugated iron roof and an old cowshed and pigshed. We have since restored and converted the buildings and are now working on the garden! We have 3 children, 2 grown up boys who work in London and a 15 year old daughter.
