Lesley And Clive
The Nutshell is a delightful 1 bed cottage set in the gardens of our growing garden! A wood burning fire for the chilly nights, bifold doors open to the gardens on the sunny days. Hop to the farm shop for all local produce. 20mins stroll either way will take you to 3 excellent pub/ restaurants. Plenty of parking space , come help in the garden if you like! We are close to Sissinghurst Castle, Leeds Castle, the famous Chapel down vineyards and an abundance of country walks. We are animal lovers and welcome your dogs. We do charge per dog per stay with a maximum 2 dogs. We ask that you bring a dog bed as we don’t want our furry friends on the furniture! Please message us if you have any questions
Hi we are Lesley and Clive .. welcome to our space.. we hope you enjoy your time with us.. We are mostly here working on our upcycling of furniture, gardening or walking the dog
Famed to be the most haunted village in the UK, we are close to the Dering woods, take a torch for a moonlit stroll?! Our local farm shop and general store are both great and stock everything you might need. 3 local pub restaurants offer up excellent food and a warm welcome Bus at the end of the road takes you to Ashford and other surrounding villages and towns. Train station is a mile away and we are happy to pick you up if we are around. Plenty of parking on our drive
