    Location was very scenic, nice and quiet. Locals very friendly.Parking a couple of times was difficult but that was dependant on time of day. So busy if local pub open or mother's collecting children from school. But this wasn't a problem just...

Green Cottages
Green Cottages charming luxury holiday cottages are situated in the heart of the Kent village of Rodmersham Green. Old Post Cottage has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4. Candy Cottage has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 3. The cottages are beautifully furnished throughout and have high speed Wifi. The cottages were built in 1860 as farm workers cottages, Old Post Cottage later became the old post office and village shop. Candy Cottage was named after the donkey that grazed on the village green. Full of traditional features the cottages are the perfect base for exploring Kent throughout the year. We love the position of these cottages, overlooking the village green, adjacent to the pub and a few doors from the village shop/cafe. Rural life without being too remote, pop into the village cafe for coffee or into the village pub for a drink and dinner. Opposite the cottages is a footpath that takes you into beautiful Kent countryside. We hire out bicycles to explore the area. Both the No.1 cycle route and the North Kent Downs are about 1 mile from the cottages. The cottages are a short drive (5/10 mins) from Sittingbourne, 15 mins from the historic town of Faversham and 25 mins from the beautiful cathedral city of Canterbury. You can look out of window at rural village life but in a short drive/cycle be town. There are plenty of good village pubs to explore, Leeds Castle is a short drive (15/20 mins). If you fancy curling up on the sofa you can surf the internet using our high speed broadband Wifi, watch a DVD or read one of our local interest books. For something really different you could book a Thames Barge sailing trip. We provide stair gates, highchairs and a cot as standard. We run Green Cottages Kitchen; Baking and Cookery workshops in my own kitchen (not the cottages). Workshops include bread making; Sourdoughs etc. We have several different scheduled workshops. If guests request an exclusive baking workshop date I will try to accommodate subject to availability.
Green Cottages has been letting holiday cottage since 2008. We take great pride in supporting local businesses and the environment. We were the first luxury holiday cottages in Kent to be award Green Tourism Gold and have maintained that status. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products, reduce our waste to the minimum and have removed all pesticides and herbicides from our gardens. Where possible we buy local produce and buy in sustainable products and services. Our cottages are cosy, located in the heart of the village of Rodmersham, in Kent, next to the village pub, The Fruiterers Arms and just a few doors down from the lovely Rodmersham village shop and cafe. We hope you find this a home from home. There’s lots of walking and cycling routes and we hire out bicycles. In addition to our cottages we host baking workshops, a fun day out making and baking. We can arrange workshops for small groups on request. Great for a friends or family get together.
