Overview
Property code: OC-CB660

In the heart of the countryside, this one-bedroom cabin has been hand-crafted to maximise the wrap-around, far-reaching views, perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the natural world. Biddenden is a large, traditional-style village set in the picturesque rural countryside, located in the Weald of Kent. Spanning 23 acres of gentle south-facing slopes situated in a sheltered valley, explore Biddenden Vineyards, 4 miles away – Kent's original vineyard that grows 12 different grape varieties, and offers breathtaking tours plus wine tastings. Experience true relaxation at Bloomsburys Spa Retreat (1.5 miles) located through the lovely healing gardens, offering you a wide range of cutting-edge, luxurious beauty treatments alongside relaxing spa treatments. Travel back in time at the Kent and East Sussex Railway, 7 miles away, the country’s first light railway, aboard a heritage steam or diesel train with carriages that feature old-fashioned family compartments.

A spacious entrance hallway welcomes you into the cabin, complete with a small seating area and plenty of coat and boot storage, leading you into the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, flooded with natural light from the large picture window. The living area enjoys magnificent views out of the picture window, complemented by a comfy sofa and a TV. At the opposite end of the space, you’ll find a set of patio doors out to the garden, as well as a well-equipped contemporary kitchen, complete with farmhouse-style décor and a romantic dining table and chairs. Back through the cabin, you’ll find a spacious king-size bedroom featuring the same conscientious and cosy décor as the rest of the cabin, plus a contemporary en-suite wet room. The cabin is set at ground level.

Outside, you’ll find a small, decked area, leading onto a spacious fenced-off area of lawn housing a wonderful private hot tub and chiminea, perfect for all seasons.

Fantastic location; very quiet. We stayed at the Bolthole which has a nice corner plot on the edge of fields that gives wide-ranging views. The hot tub was excellent. Customer service was great from Andrew and Heather. When we mentioned a trolley would be handy to take luggage and food shop from car park to hut, one appeared the very next day.

Absolutely incredible place to stay. Both owners of Plush Huts are very welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble if we had a query. We stayed in the Bolthole which we struggled to fault in anyway. Even the bathroom has under floor heating! Everything was included in the cabin right up to a milk throther for fancy coffees. As for the dog friendlyRead more promise, that couldn't have been more true. We have been on a few dog friendly cabins but this one is 100% better than all of them. Very dog secure with proper fencing, dog towels, blankets and even dog beds incuded. Have no doubts when i say your dog will be absolutely safe here. The welcome pack was a great addition as well as an immaculately clean hot tub. Myself and my fiance are already talking about coming back again. Highly recommended! Thank you for a lovely stay x Hide

The lodge is in a beautiful location, with floor to ceiling windows, surrounded by fields making it a very relaxing experience. The lodge itself is well equipped and maintained with plenty of cooking utensils and accessories, charging points for phones and towels provided, including separate hot tub towels. We arrived to a lovely hamper with bread,Read more milk, eggs, home made jam, butter, crisps and dog treats. It is very dog friendly with dog towels, a blanket and even a dog bed if needed and the lodge is enclosed so that the dog cannot get out. The hot tub was well positioned in the grounds and added to the experience of our weekend. The hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful during our weekend, we would definitely re-book. There are a number of pubs in close proximity, we walked to The Three Chimney's twice and booked a roast dinner which was fantastic. The lodge is well located for visits to local vineyards. Hide

The Bolthole was very comfortable, warm & well equipped. A lot of thought has gone into the place, shown by all the special little touches, especially in the kitchen & bathroom. This was our first holiday as dog owners so we didnt know what to expect, but everything our pup needed, we had at hand. Thank you for giving us a wonderful week.
