About this cottage rental
The Old School House is a Grade II listed cottage located in Woodchurch, a delightful village near Tenterden. Recently renovated, the cottage, which once was the village school house, is spacious, well-appointed and peaceful. So pretty, you almost expect Miss Marple to be there!
Built in the 17th century, the beautiful, beamed house (no low beams) has two double bedrooms, both with king sized beds, plus a large attic room with one small double bed and one single bed - ideal for children and adults alike. All the beds have high quality, new mattresses for a great sleep. A cot and z bed are also available.
There is a bathroom, with drencher shower and traditional bath, on the first floor. A shower room with fixed and hand-held shower, plus loo, is on the ground floor.
The bright, fully equipped kitchen has a gas and electric range cooker, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine & large fridge/freezer.
The dining room, overlooking the front garden and with an inglenook fireplace, can seat up to eight.
The lounge is spacious with two sofas and an armchair, wood-burning stove (firewood supplied), wide-screen TV with Netflix, Apple tv, Amazon tv and Freeview, CD player, hi-fi (with Bluetooth). A range of traditional games are also available.
The house has fibre optic broadband.
One of the delights of this house is the large and pretty cottage garden, where outside dining on its large table is recommended. There are lounge chairs and two steamer chairs for those lazy summer afternoons listening to the birdsong and the church bells.
If you ever want to leave the house and garden, there are plentiful local and nearby amenities. Next door to the house is a farm shop selling locally produced meat, milk and vegetables. Two village pubs, The Six Bells and the Bonny Cravat, are a couple of minutes walk away, both offering entertainment and serving food. The house is opposite the village green, which has a children's playground.
Woodchurch also houses the Rare Breeds Centre where rare British breeds of farm animals can be seen up close - great for an all-day children's activity.
A post office, newsagents, Woodchurch Wine's vineyard, a heritage Windmill and the Woodchurch museum are all local to the property.
In the car, you are 10 minutes from historic Tenterden with its great shops, restaurants, bars and terrific heritage railway. Take the steam train to Bodium castle and picnic in the grounds, or book the very popular lunch or dinner Pullman services.
Visit the Chapel Down vineyard in Tenterden. Tours offer a delicious tasting!
Only 20 minutes away by car is Rye with wonderful antique shops, architecture and restaurants. Or Camber Sands offers miles of golden sandy beeches.
There is private parking for up to four cars.
Pets are considered. If you wish to bring a pet please give full details of this in your initial reservation enquiry or request. We will do our very best to accommodate them.

Our second stay in this beautiful property and we loved it just as much as the first time. Great location in the village with the butchers on the corner and local walks - all making it very relaxing. We stay in a lot of holiday homes in the UK but we’ve never stayed anywhere as nice as the Old School House. Love the decor and homely feel. Did a tour of Chapel Down vineyard which was good, a lovely walk from Warehorne to Appledore and back and a day in Rye which is essential. Recommend getting to Rye by 10am if you’re going on a Saturday and enjoy the town before the crowds.Thank you for a lovely stay!

A most comfortable, relaxing break with a gorgeous garden in a property that was so welcoming. Chris' contact and information were exemplary. The house is beautiful, full of books, dvds, multiple TV channels and games. Finally church bells, birds including a cuckoo and the smell of wisteria wafting in from the garden. Perfection!

Chris was a great host and the property and gardens were incredible. The house is 400yrs old and Chris has renovated it and thought of everything. What a comfortable and pleasant stay. He covered everything possible and the checkin/out process was very easy.
