3 Bedroom Cottage in Bilting, Ashford

Plantagenet Cottage is unique, charming and hidden away on the outskirts of a picturesque Kentish village. We're located within the beautiful Kent Downs area of outstanding natural beauty and the views from our garden overlook the Eastwell Manor Country Estate.
The cottage is steeped in History dating back to the 16th century when originally built as a one-room dwelling by Richard Plantagenet, a natural son of King Richard III [the one they found under the car park in Leicester], so our Richard was, in theory, the last in the bloodline of the Plantagenet Kings of England. It's a fascinating story and you will find books and other information about this at the cottage.
We are ideally suited to 6 people [possible 7th on pull out mattress] across 3 luxurious bedrooms - the entire detached property has been recently refurbished to a high standard providing all modern amenities and comfort whilst maintaining the cottage's rustic charm and historical character.
The large living area has 2 comfortable sofas, a 40" plasma smart TV with Netflix, Amazon / iPlayer etc. It also has a large inglenook fireplace with a new Wood Burning Stove - it's lovely having cozy log fires in colder months.
The dining area has a table seated for 6/7 people below a vaulted ceiling with a gothic arch looking out to the garden.
There is also an office space with network ports and printer and USB charging from most rooms.
The fully equipped kitchen has new appliances and hopefully everything you might need !
Our bathroom has a bath, rain shower, toilet and sink - and it has a cubby hole inside a recently exposed old fireplace.
The garden wraps around the property and has a park like feel with lots of well established trees & shrubs. Lots of space for kids to play .. we even have 'Teletubby' mounds! There is a BBQ, a swing and outside seating areas and new this year is a large in-ground trampoline, which is proving to be great fun for small and big kids too !
A definite highlight in warmer months is the outdoor heated swimming pool which is in a walled area in a sunny corner of the garden. POOL OPEN BETWEEN APRIL TO END OF SEPTEMBER - exact date is weather dependant. Hot-Tub available to hire on request.
Our cottage is in a delightful spot that we think has a lovely relaxed feeling and good atmosphere.

Summary: We stayed here as a family of 5 with ages ranging from 7 to teens to 40 somethings. We all had the most amazing 6 nights and we were so sad when our time had come to an end. The house, the garden, and the pool were incredible. We had some much needed quality family time and I would recommend this property without reservation, we had the most magical time.

Summary: We really enjoyed our brief stay in this beautiful cottage. It had all the facilities needed, lovely interior designs and a wonderful garden - and pool! The location is good - easy access to local pub, or short drive to shops and amenities of a town - and everything that Kent has to offer. We managed to fit in, designer shopping, beach and Canterbury - plus lots of pool time.

Summary: What a fantastic house for a group of friends looking for a relaxing break away. The house was beautiful and equipped with everything you could need. The garden was magical and the pool was an amazing addition to our stay. The hosts were very attentive and available at anytime if you had any questions. There is a lovely pub on the green a couple minutes walk away and the town of Wye is a 10 minute drive away, with lots of walking routes if you want to stretch your legs. Thanks for having us, we look forward to our next visit!

Summary: My family and I were slightly hesitant about booking a cottage in the midst of winter but we all had the best time ever. The Cottage is gorgeous and the wood-burning stove made it super cosy, the kids adored playing on the trampoline for hours on end. We discovered some stunning countryside walks and forests and quaint old Kentish pubs serving amazing food - we all want to come back already. Really organised hosts too - thank you !

Summary: We stayed at the Plantagenet cottage the night before my wedding with my bridesmaids and then with my husband for a complete get away. It was so special from start to finish! The cottage is hidden away from the real world, very peaceful. The garden is fantastic, with beautiful views out into the Eastwell manor grounds. Inside everything was clean and perfectly presented. So many original features and nods the older building with modern features to make cooking and relaxing nice and easy. Everything labelled clearly which is great, no confusion over keys, cupboards or lights. Tim was just leaving when we arrived and it was a pleasure to meet before we unpacked and settled in. A few helpful tips with the pool which was great, we got straight in and it was absolutely divine! I cannot fault our stay in any way, it was perfect. Thank you Tim and Maite.

Summary: Beautiful house in stunning location. Perfect peace and quiet but plenty to do if you want to, lots of walks and decent pubs, shopping in Ashford. Nice touches for the kids with the mouse hunt and sheep box. We will be back. Thanks

Summary: We went away as a family, two young kids and couldn’t fault it. Very private and out of the way, with lots of stuff a short drive away, including Ashford shopping centre and town. The pool is huge with lots of toys and fun things to use, already at the cottage. Lovely swing, trampoline and other various toys and bits around and in the cottage. The pictures don’t do it justice, the garden is huge and be prepared to get your steps in walking around it! Inside the cottage is beautiful and really gives you the home feeling while being on holiday. The hosts were 100% perfect with great communication and extremely welcoming. From the start of the booking process to the checking out, it was stress free and so easy. We appreciate everything that was done and how easy it all was. Thank you so much for the amazing experience and hope to come back in a couple of years for longer!
