Leeds Castle Cottages

Nestled with the grounds of the historic Leeds Castle, close to the beautiful Kent Downs AONB, are a collection of properties, suitable for larger groups. Wonderfully presented throughout, with light colour schemes and plush furnishings, making the most of an ideal setting. Share this lovely setup with your loved ones and spend some quality time in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Look forward to relaxing and unwinding in your own living space enjoying a family movie night, or planning the days ahead. The kitchens are all equipped with a range of contemporary appliances so you can easily rustle up some delicious meals, to be enjoyed at the dining table over a refreshing glass of bubbly whilst you discuss the day's events. Once the evening draws to a close, retire to one of the elegant bedrooms, all of which have a range of modern furnishings, which complement the light decor, and offer an abundance of space to store your personal items, supported by high-quality fitted bathrooms. Staying in any of the cottages in this group entitles you to entry to Leeds Castle and the grounds during the day, and in the evening you are free to continue exlporing the grounds after it's been closed to the public. The Castle grounds provide activities such as the Knight's Stronghold play area, falconry displays, and Adventure golf. Resting just over five miles away is the centre of Maidstone, perfect for accessing a number of traditional pubs and restaurants for some fine food, whilst their selection of independent shops and supermarkets are ideal for picking up those last-minute essentials. Make sure to explore some of Maidstone's finest sites, including Mote Park which spans across 440 acres where you can take long walks or even cycle through the country, or venture towards the Kent Downs AONB for a larger choice of country sites. Maidstone Museum is also a popular choice, resting in a former Elizabethan manor house with over 660,000 artefacts and artwork on display. Visit the open-air museum of Kent Life, the historic Leeds Castle (celebrating its 900th anniversary in 2019) and a unique boating experience at Kentish Lady River Boat. Return to your rural property for a relaxing evening with your loved ones.
