Description
Hollingbourne 1.8 miles.
In the rural village of Broomfield, found within a group of traditional and rustic cottages, is Weir Cottage, a delightful and compact property surrounded by woodland.
Best suited to a couple looking for a romantic getaway in the country, you have access to nature on your doorstep and the chance to explore the lovely Kent Downs AONB.
An open-plan living area takes up most of the ground floor, and it's here you will find the kitchen and sitting room, as well as a folding dining table and chairs, neatly tucked away.
The corner sofa will look even more inviting after a long day of walking, opposite the shining kitchen, offering you the essential appliances for your self-catering break.
In the summer months you can take advantage of the large garden outside and let the dog have a good run around.
A sparkling shower room lies on the ground floor hosting a shower, basin and WC, maximising the space in this quaint property.
Upstairs you can find the bedroom containing a king-size bed, flooded by light from the Velux windows, with exposed wooden beams adding to its charm.
Just under a mile's walk away is the nearest pub for when you want to enjoy an evening drink, or you can head into the town of Leeds to see the popular Leeds Castle and explore the large grounds and original hedge maze.
Of course, not only are walks available on your doorstep, you have the advantage of being right next to the Kent Downs AONB, with endless opportunities for all kinds of outdoor activities and wonderful scenery to behold.
Weir Cottage will be an excellent choice for you and your loved in this lovely countryside setting.

What guests are saying
A lovely little cottage in a tranquil area of Leeds Castle grounds.
The garden is fully fenced in and has the weir and river running along the bottom of it. It has a large well kept garden with a seated area and bbq, ideal for sitting listening to the river and relaxing with a glass of wine and playing with our dog in the garden. We had a welcome pack when we arrived which is a lovely greeting for the start of your stay. The cottage is compact and has everything you need for your stay. It was clean, but a little tired in some places. The front door needs some attention, so do a couple of the kitchen cupboard doors and the roof light blind in the bedroom, doesn’t stay down properly. Bedroom is well equipped, but could do with a full length mirror. Bed clean and comfortable. Bathroom very clean and has some lovely toiletry products for you to use during your stay. We stayed the 2nd week in August 26 and had a lovely stay. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
Wonderful romantic location with a large garden on the bank of a small stream (the river Len).
In the summer it can become very hot inside as it is on a very sunny location. Closing the curtains will help a great deal and on the first floor a fan was thoughtfully added near the bed. Minor points for improvement that had no effect on our stay: There was something wrong with aforementioned fan as it wouldn’t turn (no problem if you turn that feature off though). The doors of the kitchen cabinets weren’t well aligned and one of the upper cabinets wrappings seems to have melted off/detached from the wood in the past. The paintwork on the outside is starting to flake off, but one could say that ads to the charms of this lovely quaint cottage. The sofa is tasteful yet almost too cosy (small) for two persons to sit on comfortably. But then iwe understand it’s hard to squeeze in a sofa in this lovely cottage. Anyway, everything is functioning as it should but maybe it’s time for some maintenance. Weir cottage is within good walking distance (18 mins) of the George Inn in the village of Leeds. Wonderful walks are to be made on the grounds but when you bring a dog you are unfortunately restricted to the public footpaths. Notwithstanding the points for improvements mentioned, we enjoyed our stay tremendously and recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this lovely part of Kent. We hope to revisit you in the future.
Weir Cottage is a charming period property.
Best of all is the utterly beautiful and tranquil setting in a lovely garden by the river. It is small downstairs but has a decent shower room and good cooking facilities. No dish washer or washing machine though. WiFi was very good and reached right out into garden. The bedroom is the whole upper floor and it's very atmospheric with lots of beams. Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, there are a few things to improve on. The small sofa is rather uncomfy as it has a solid base. We also felt the bed mattress whilst a good king size could have been more comfortable; it felt rather basic. Everything was clean and tidy though and the shower is good; we had no hot water issues as some earlier review stated. Finally, the garden is crying out for 2 loungers to fully enjoy lazy days especially in this heat. If like us you are a dog owner I must point out that whilst the property is dog friendly. Leeds Castle itself certainly isn't. You won't be able to enter the grounds with your dog. You can take one path through which is also a public footpath but generally it's a no. Which really surprised us and needs to be included in the listing. All in all a great place and location though.
