Americans in Kent
Rosemary cottage was so charming and the pictures don’t do it justice. The layout for our large family was perfect, each bedroom having a bathroom was a treat complete with towel warmers and excellent water pressure. The place was very modern and clean. All our questions were answered promptly and the check in process was fast an easy. Our boys were even able to play tennis and it was just a short walk to a lovely pub. The location overall was so perfect for visiting nearby attractions such as Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Whitstable and Rye…. We happily refer this property and would love to return ourselves the next time we’re in Yalding. The hosts are fantastic.

Short stay for our daughters wedding
The cottages are fabulous. Perfect for our 2 families with access to both from the terrace. Immaculate throughout, plenty of Crockery, cutlery etc. The Gardens are amazing with plenty of toys for us to use for our granddaughter. Owners very helpful and accommodating. Pity we couldn’t stay longer.

Amazing property booked to use as a base for my wedding.
Fantastic property with beautiful grounds. Very peaceful and Lieven was just so helpful with answering my many questions. Nothing was too much trouble. A lovely welcome gift of local cider was waiting for us on arrival too. Great experience overall and would definitely recommend. Had a wonderful weekend.

Lovely break
A clean and comfortable property with plenty of space for everyone. Ideal patio just off the kitchen with all day sun or trees in the garden for chilling in the shade. Thank you for a stress free break which we all enjoyed. Would love to come back. Good luck with the puppy training.

Home from home
We stayed in this beautiful cottage with my very elderly mum and were able comfortably and happily to host many relatives who came down to Yalding to see her with a minimum of disruption for her. This worked brilliantly because the cottage itself, our host Tony, the garden, the local town and nearby sites of interest were beautiful and welcoming. The cottage's 3 bedrooms and en suite arrangements were comfortable and private and all necessary amenities including a well equipped kitchen made a long stay very enjoyable. Highly recommended especially for family gatherings.

For a perfect stay nearby London.
Rosemary cottage was very clean, with all the equipment that you have at home (and more). We loved the fact that every bedroom had it's own bathroom and toilet. It was also very quiet at night and during the day there are many opportunities to have a wonderfull stay. The garden is really beautifull and if you want to move, there is this lovely tenniscourt. It's also not far away from London. We took the train in Paddock Wood and it only took us 45 minutes to get there. For our children it was also important that there was a well-functionning Wifi. It made it easy for us to look up things on the internet before leaving the cottage. So Tony and Caroline, thanks for our lovely stay at Rosemary cottage! Kind regards!!

About the host

Hosted by Lieven & Lydia

Host profile image
Hi, we are Lieven & Lydia. We are very excited to have just taken over Woodlands Holiday cottages from Tony & Caroline, who have done a smashing job hosting guests since 2014!
We have recently moved to Yalding with our daughter to enjoy the beautiful space and countryside.
We love travelling and have been using HomeAway for many years. Having stayed in many cottages ourselves in the UK and abroad, we hope that this has given us a good idea of how to make our accommodation comfortable and inviting.

Why they chose this property

We like to offer a warm welcome and present the cottages and gardens in such a way you can relax immediately, enjoying the home comforts we all love, with a little sense of adventure as you explore the gardens, play a little tennis, possibly sit on the south facing balcony and enjoy a glass of wine and a BBQ overlooking the gardens. It's easy to discover the abundant delights of Kent, better known locally as The Garden of England.

What makes this property unique

Although the cottage is in a rural location it is only a short walk to the beautiful village of Yalding with all it's attractions.
As well as beautiful countryside on your doorstep there is also easy access to London, the coast, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury with it's amazing cathedral.
