Perfectly located in the heart of Spelmonden Estate in the Kent countryside, this former-hop picker’s hut has been transformed into a tranquil retreat for two people. Wildlife adventures await less than a mile away at Crowbourne Alpacas. Just 1.5 miles away is the captivating village of Goudhurst, with its timber-framed inn and 12th-century church. The National Trust Scotney Castle Estate with picturesque parkland and woodland is just 3 miles away.

This charming property is a tranquil space surrounded by idyllic countryside. The open-plan, bedsit style of the accommodation means everything is conveniently laid out on one level. A comfy double bed is located to make the most of the fantastic views out of the patio doors and full-length windows, with the dining table and TV tucked in the corner next to it. Here you’ll also find a small sofa. Wonderful wooden flooring flows through to the contemporary kitchen space. Completing the layout is a walk-in wet room with shower, grab rails and heated towel rail.

Enjoy your early morning coffee on the private patio set within the beautiful grounds of this working farm estate. In the evenings, fire up the BBQ and enjoy al fresco dining for two.

Booked Cooks Hut for my elderly mother over Christmas and everything was perfect. Disability friendly with ramps to the front door, no steps inside and hand rails in the bathroom, she felt very safe and secure. It was a wonderful break for her. Thank you Spelmonden Estate.

The Cooks Hoppers Hut was a joy to stay in. The view from the bed was wonderful and we watched so many birds. The facilities for disabled were excellent. The patio and furniture were lovely. We wished we could have moved in!

Absolutely delightful. The Cooks Hopper Hut has been superbly adapted and is ideal for two people. The outlook over the countryside is so peaceful. Location is excellent as so many interesting attractions are not far away. We had a wonderful and relaxing time.

The entrance to the estate doesnt look promising - it appears to be a derelict building site. This was emphasised by no contact with the owner during our stay. The Hut is clean, in a peaceful location and great for exploring the area. Although it has a lovely kitchen it could be much better equipped for self catering. Response from holidaycottaRead moreges.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner. Hide
