Primrose cottage is one of four cottages in what was once known as Primrose Alley. The first three cottages have now been converted into one dwelling where we live and we are pleased to offer Primrose Cottage as holiday accommodation for individuals and families looking to stay in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in this unique corner of The Garden of England. The cottage is believed to be built in the 15th Century and has a wealth of original and interesting features such as exposed beams, inglenook fire place and a small twisting staircase (with handrail). You will have your own front door which takes you into the living room. The living room has a comfortable sofa, armchair, drinks cabinet, selection of local interest books, board games, sewing kit and a mini bar. The television provides UK channels and is logged in to Netflix. The Inglenook fireplace has a wood burner which you are very welcome to use. 2 bedroom cottage with outside space in the beautiful village of Bridge, 5 mins from Canterbury. Plenty of amenities in the village with easy access to Canterbury, Coastal beaches and towns, London, France, Dover.
We have lived in New York and rented houses across America and Europe for vacations so we know what we would like to find in a property. We are now country living with children. This cottage is exclusively a holiday rental and we live in the house next door,
On the High Street, all with 10 minutes walk of the cottage. The Bridge Arms We are so excited about the launch of this pub, taken over by the couple who transformed The Fordwich Arms into a Michelin Star restaurant. This pub has been transformed on the inside, has a lovely garden and we are anticipating a fabulous menu and wine list. The Red Lion The charming Rene and Harry will welcome you in the Red Lion with food and drinks. They also have a large outside space and play area suitable for smaller children. Most walk in for meals easily but check what time the kitchen closes Separate restaurant and bar area. More of a party pub with karaoke, events and TV screens. The Plough and Harrow The village local - serves Shepherd's Neame beer and does food, billiards and darts with friendly staff and patrons. The Pig at Bridge Place This is primarily a high-end boutique hotel but it has an open access bar, outdoor pizza area and a fine dining restaurant. Bookings normally needed in advance for the restaurant. The
