Originally the stables of a grand 18th-century house, this charming brick cottage is set in a prestigious part of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Tucked away in a mews just a fifteen-minute stroll from the heart of the town, it offers comfortable accommodation with plenty of character features including whitewashed Moorish beams and a cosy country kitchen. If cooking at home doesn’t appeal, there's a huge list of nearby restaurants and pubs to choose from, all just a pleasant walk away, or you can enjoy sunny picnics in the four acres of park-like shared grounds near the abode. Just on the doorstep is Tunbridge Wells Common with footpaths and rocky outcrops to explore, and at the bottom of the hill, you’ll find the famous colonnaded shopping area known as The Pantiles, lined with boutiques, art galleries, cafes and outdoor seating. During the summer months, it’s also home to an open-air jazz concert held every Thursday evening. You’ll be perfectly placed for venturing further afield as well whether it be for a day of sailing at Bewl Water Reservoir or a day trip to London which can be reached in forty minutes by train.

About Royal Tunbridge Wells
Tunbridge Wells once had a reputation for being a bit stuffy. Happily, what was caused by a few grumpy letters to a newspaper nearly a century ago has been put behind it. A vibrant, affluent town, it’s far from being stuck in the past. As well as the more modern shopping precinct at the top end of town, if you take a walk along its historic colonnade – The Pantiles...
