The Old Schoolroom has had quite a history. Once the local school, this early Victorian building has since been converted into a welcoming holiday cottage at the heart of the village, with plenty of its original character still intact.

Inside, the cottage pays homage to its history, with blackboards, board games and books neatly presented as soon as you walk in – so you know there’s always something to do, even when the weather’s not playing ball. A well-equipped kitchen ensures you’ll have all you need for cooking, while a woodburning stove warms the living room, where guests will naturally gravitate to as the months get cooler. Two comfortable king–size bedrooms reside upstairs, so everyone can enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

When the weather is warmer, the enclosed garden offers ample space on the patio set for al fresco meals and homemade picnics, or a quiet spot to read a book in the sunshine. And if you want to explore beyond the doorstep, walking trails, villages, and the Kent coast are all within easy reach too.

Whether it's a long weekend with friends, a family break or simply a few peaceful days in the countryside with the dog in tow, The Old Schoolroom is the sort of place you'll look forward to coming back to.
