About this property

Silver Cottage, Hunton. Beautiful, secluded cottage. Idyllic Location. Parking

Silver Cottage is a renovated SilverSmith's dating from the early 1800s. It has had a total renovation and is now the ideal location for a peaceful retreat. It is situated at the end of a private lane that leads into open countryside between the hamlet of Hunton and Yalding village. It is silent at night with only the odd tractor during the warm summer days. Yet the village of Yalding has excellent pubs, a restaurant, a cafe (for great coffee), the excellent Yalding Organic Gardens, a village shop, post office, access to the river Medway (fishing, canoeing etc) and many historic buildings and features.
It is a glorious walk to Yalding in 20-30 minutes or a 5 minute drive.

On entering the front door of Silver Cottage there is a cloakroom to the right with a large walk-in shower. The next room is a twin bedroom with plenty of built-in storage. The rest of the ground floor is taken up by the kitchen / diner and sitting room. The kitchen is large and has a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge. The dining table seats six and there are two sofas, a TV, stereo and a fabulous wood-burning stove. Under-floor heating is fitted throughout the ground floor. The main bedroom is upstairs and has a generous en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath.

The cottage has its own private garden and terrace, private parking, use of the owners' tennis court (by arrangement) and charcoal barbecue.

The cottage would suit a couple or a family looking for a rural, summer holiday or those looking for a cosy winter break, snuggled inside with the wood-burning stove. The building has been insulated with modern products and holds the heat in winter and is cool in the summer.

Restful Silver Cottage
Our hosts could not have been more helpful. Silver Cottage was even better than the photos. The bath was luxurious and the bed was very comfortable. The area was quiet and we saw rabbits, birds and squirrels from the living room

Fijn huisje
Het was fijn om te verblijven in Silver cottage. Het huisje is compleet en comfortabel. De locatie is heel rustig, en er zijn mooie wandelingen vanuit huis. Om wat meer te zien, moet je even wat verder rijden. Het contact met eigenaar ging uitsluitend via berichtjes, maar zij reageerde snel op vragen. Aanraders vonden wij: Sussinghurst castle( mooie tuin), London, de krijtrotsen Seven sisters en Beachy head en natuurlijk London( met de trein een klein uurtje). Frankiesfarmershop en -eettentje ook leuk en in de buurt. Enjoy!

Comfortable, quiet retreat
We were very comfortable at the cottage: nice beds, comfy sofa, good shower and lovely bath. Enough hot water and a well-functioning heating system. Thank you also for the nice treats on arrival and the quick communication. The lane is really quiet with a lovely view across the fields. We look forward to staying with you again.

Relaxing stay
We spent a very relaxed Christmas here. We were very comfortable, warm and cosy.The cottage was well equipped although the size of the fridge was a little challenging. There are plenty of walks from the door. The private garden would be great to enjoy in the summer. Overall, a good experience

Wunderschöner erholsamer Aufenthalt in Hunton/Kent
Unsere Erwartungen wurden vollstens erfüllt und entsprachen auch den Beschreibungen im Inserat. Es ist ein wunderbarer Platz zum Entspannen und Erholen, in einem liebevoll und komplett eingerichteten Cottage, ein idealer Standort, um direkt vom Cottage aus zu größeren Spaziergängen zu starten oder in näherer Umgebung die Vielfalt an Schlössern und Gärten in Kent kennenzulernen. Wir können das Cottage wärmstens weiterempfehlen und können uns vorstellen, einmal wieder hierher zurückzukehren für einen nächsten Urlaub.

Lovely little hideaway!
What a cute little cottage this is. We were in the region visiting family and it was so lovely to come 'home' to Silver Cottage each evening. The welcome basket was an added bonus. The set up is low-key so you don't need to worry about breaking anything. The owner who we messaged with is swift in her communication and seemed very 'chilled'. The cottage sits down a private lane on the edge of a field with lots of walking opportunities. The drives down the country lanes was the only downside for us. Many are single tracks and cars tear down the streets at speed. Can highly recommend Silver Cottage.

Cosy little cottage
Silver cottage is well placed in the heart of the Kent countryside. It's down a dead end lane so there's on traffic noise. It was so peaceful at night . We enjoyed hearing the owls at night and the birdsong in the morning. The cottage is small but well appointed. It was immaculately clean. Great heating system. Comfortable beds. Fully fitted well equipped kitchen and has two bathrooms Plenty of options for walks from the front door. Just what we wanted. Thanks.

Good Location. Reasonably well equipped.Friendly owners.
These are NOT complaints but a few comments of how things could be a bit better. Not enough info on the heating system. The downstairs WC could do with a toilet roll holder. The toaster springs were faulty. Not enough tea spoons. Nowhere to empty the ash from the fire outside. The lounge could do with a coffee table to save putting items on the floor. When using the bath there was a leak through the hallway light fitting. Needs atttention.Overall a very pleasant stay.

Rust
Het huisje is gelegen aan het einde van een doodlopende straat. Het enige wat we hoorden waren de vogels en een af en toe overvliegende Spitfire. Verder is het huisje voorzien van alle gemakken wat een vakantie relaxt maakt. Bedden waren goed en sliepen lekker. Badkamer (douche, wastafel en toilet) beneden was wat aan de kleine kant maar was voor ons verder geen probleem.
