If you are looking for a luxurious, romantic countryside retreat where you can relax, spend time together and step away from all of life’s pressures, then Tenterden Hideaway is a very good bet. This gorgeous, one bedroom, idyllic haven certainly lives up to its name. It really is hidden away amongst corn fields and vineyards, deep in the heart of the luscious Kent countryside. There is no one else around. You can relax on your patio by the firepit, in your indulgent hot tub or in the lounge with the trendy glass walls pulled back to bring the outside in. You will be captivated by the light and the dreamy Romney Marsh on the horizon. Peace and quiet are a given, the only thing you will hear is the early morning bird call or perhaps the bubbles of your hot tub. This is where you will rediscover romance in the heart of nature.
Though you are nestled deep in the fields, Tenterden is just down the road. In the heart of the Weald of Kent, it is a town rich in history and brimming with unique shops, charming cafes and attractive buildings. Tenterden was an important wool trading centre in the 13th century and became very prosperous. At that time, Tenterden had access to the sea at Smallhythe, then a centre for shipbuilding. Tenterden was incorporated into the prestigious Federation of Cinque Ports. The local museum tells the town’s story. Gorgeous Georgian buildings share Tenterden’s streets with tall Victorian house and tiny cottages. The town carries a timeless air.
Tenterden Hideaway has been beautifully designed to make the most of the gorgeous panorama. It features huge picture windows and fabulous floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, drowning this Kent gem in natural light as well as opening an entire corner of the house to nature. Guests can sit back in their world of muted greys and creams with splashes of vibrant colour, cosy with the warmth of the sun or the wood burning stove. There are luxurious sheepskin throws, a footstool to rest your tired limbs and high vaulted ceilings with beams to capture your eye. The living space is open plan in design with a contemporary kitchen at the far end. It is a great space with trendy metro tiles, a marbled worksurface, a delightful shelf system and all that you need for your self-catering break. An industrial style dining table and chairs is perfect for your breakfast and evening meal.
Your gorgeous bedroom enjoys a giant picture window which takes up almost the entire wall, offering magnificent country views and brightening your space. Stylish contemporary furnishings complement the exposed original brick features and traditional barn doors. Your kingsize bed is beautifully dressed in luxurious linens. You will wake to the best vistas ever knowing you are alone with that sensational view. Your sliding doors open to a luxurious ensuite bathroom with exposed brick walls and a wet room shower.
Outside, you can enjoy the bubbles of your hot tub and a firepit on chilly nights while you watch the sun go down and the stars starting to appear. This really is a very private, magical spot to enjoy nature and romance. If it is possible to tire of it, you can venture afield to explore the soft, fine sands of Camber Sands or the historic town of Rye.

Location
About the surrounding area of Tenterden HideawayTenterden Hideaway enjoys a sensational countryside spot, far away from anyone though close to the picture postcard town of Tenterden. There are numerous timeless villages around including Wye, Chilham, Pluckley, Rolvenden and Biddenden. Walkers love the calm beauty of Wye which is home to the charming New Flying Horse Inn. The gorgeous fifteenth century Chilham often doubles as a movie set, as does Pluckley, the quintessential Kent village used for filming The Darling Buds of May. Biddenden enjoys its famous vineyards where you can enjoy a tour.
Tenterden is known as the ‘Jewel of the Weald’. It enjoys a wealth of attractive architecture, excellent shopping and a fascinating history. It boasts tree-lined greens where you can browse the unique shops looking for gifts, crafts, books and antiques. To discover more about this historic town, you can visit the local museum or board a nostalgic ride back in time on the Kent and East Sussex Railway. You can steam to Bodiam Castle and visit the 16th century half-timbered home of the 19th century Shakespearean actress Dame Ellen Terry.
Wine lovers are in for a treat when staying at Tenterden Hideaway. There are many vineyards around including Tenterden’s own. The most famous Kent vineyard is the Chapel Down Vineyard, England’s leading winemaker. It is open to visitors throughout the year. You can enjoy tastings, tours and masterclasses. The vineyard also boasts the Curious Brewery, home to the beer and cider arm of Chapel Down. Also popular are the Biddenden Vineyard, the Mount Vineyard, the Chartham Vineyard, the Terlingham Vineyard and the Hush Heath Winery, a family run vineyard that produces award winning wines.

Those that enjoy shopping may want to head to the recently expanded Ashford Designer Outlet where you can pick up designer labels at bargain prices. There are also many restaurants to eat there. Train enthusiasts might want to give the shopping a miss and head to the Ashford Borough Museum instead where they can learn about Ashford’s railway heritage and history. There is a pop-up model railway exhibition to look at too.

Vita Sackville-West, poet and writer and Harold Nicolson, her diplomat and author husband, fell in love with Sissinghurst Castle and created the famous gardens. Harold’s architectural garden planning and Vita’s colourful, abundant planting reflect the romance and intimacy of her writing. Sissinghurst Castle Garden was the backdrop of a colourful history from a time as a prison in the 1700’s to a home for the women’s land army. The gardens are so popular entry is by timed ticket so you need to plan in advance.
Hythe, the coastal market town on the edge of Romney Marsh offers a delightful beach, the lovely Brockhill Country Park and the famous Port Lympne Reserve. The authentic safari experience is unlike a normal zoo. Over 90 species and 766 animals roam within the 600 acres. There are big cats, gorillas and primates roaming free.

Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Kent
Welcome to the bloomin' marvellous "Garden of England", Kent! Sprinkled with Oliver’s Travels cute cottages, bee-shaped lodges, mansion houses, seaside wonders and colossal party houses, you will find just the perfect place to stay to discover this wonderful county. So, gather up your favourite friends or your family or whisk away your special someone for a romantic getaway. Thanks to Oliver’s Travels, your adventure in this flowery haven is just a booking away!
Kent is home to some real showstoppers. First up is Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Archbishop of Canterbury's favourite hangout. With its Gothic glam and incredible history, it is a must-visit for history buffs and spiritual seekers alike. Leeds Castle, named the "loveliest castle in the world", is surrounded by a moat and stunning gardens that make you question if you have stepped into a fairy tale. The White Cliffs of Dover stand tall and proud, like the bodyguards of Britain. These chalky wonders have guarded this fine land for centuries and a trip to Dover not only treats you to panoramic views of the English Channel but also a chance to explore the historic Dover Castle.
Nature lovers adore The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a green haven of rolling hills, woodlands and charming villages. It feels like Mother Nature threw a garden party and you are invited! You can lace up those hiking boots, hop on a bike or just bask in the countryside tranquility. If you are looking for beachside bliss, Margate and Broadstairs have sandy shores and a lively arts scene. You should check out the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.
Canterbury is a living, breathing medieval postcard with cobbled streets, timber-framed buildings and the River Stour snaking through. Tenterden and Faversham, the market towns, are like stepping into a scene from a quaint British movie. Markets, boutique shops and historic architecture blend together in a beautiful way. Chilham, the village with a Tudor-style square, is practically a movie star. You might have seen it in period dramas, it is that photogenic.
There are plenty of festivals that take place, including The Canterbury Festival of music, theatre and art. The Rochester Dickens Festival offers Victorian-themed events, parades and street performances. It is like stepping into a Dickens novel. Get your taste buds ready for a dance because Kent is the "Garden of England" for a reason. Featuring orchards, hop gardens and vineyards, it is a feast for the senses. You can visit farmers' markets, cider houses and wineries to savour the local delights. Kentish cherries and apples are the celebrities here and you are the VIP guest at their flavour-packed party.
Kent is a whirlwind of history, natural beauty and culture. You will fall head over heels and the memories will linger like the scent of summer roses. So, whether you are storming medieval castles, sauntering through charming towns, lazing on a beach or feasting on oysters in Whitstable, a trip to Kent guarantees an adventure. Cheers to Kent where every moment is a bloomin' good time!

5 stars!
Perfect for a secluded getaway. Lovely pub, The Ferry, just walking distance away. And a night sky to die for.

A very relaxing stay
Perfect get-away for a couple looking for peace and quiet. The property is small but has been well thought out and fitted out to a very high standard. The living room has folding patio doors on two sides opening out onto the surrounding vineyards. The property owners are very helpful and friendly. Please note that here is no washing machine so be sure to pack enough clothes! For the taller ones amongst you beware of the low doorframes! There are many pubs serving tasty food in the area and it is only a short drive to the port of Rye. It all made for a very relaxing stay and I would happily recommend this property.
