Willow Cottage

Set within the landscaped grounds of a private property in Hawley, near Dartford, Willow Cottage offers couples the rare combination of genuine countryside tranquillity with Central London just forty minutes away by train. Wander through beautiful gardens to reach this purpose-built log cabin, then slip into the shared hot tub or heated swimming pool as the mood takes you. Inside, contemporary open-plan living features LED spot lighting and laminate flooring, with a generous corner sofa positioned for evening relaxation. A wall-mounted TV provides entertainment, while the kitchen delivers everything needed for self-catering, from electric oven to washing machine. The king-size bedroom offers restful sleep after days exploring Kent or London, with an ensuite shower room completing the accommodation. Outside, the spacious shared grounds offer multiple seating areas across decking and lawned expanses. A secluded summerhouse houses the shared hot tub, while the heated swimming pool provides summer refreshment. Note that the pool and hot tub close at 8pm for cleaning and maintenance. Dartford itself offers a wealth of independent shops, pubs, and restaurants, plus the excellent Orchard Theatre. A scenic drive reaches the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where the Saxon Shore Way and Heron Cycle Trail provide active adventures. Rochester's cathedral, castle, and Dickensian high street make an excellent day trip, while trains into Central London run frequently for exploring the capital's landmarks. Willow Cottage's sister property, Yew Tree Cottage, sleeps four in the same grounds, perfect for couples travelling together who want connected but separate accommodation.
