Yew Tree Cottage

Set within the landscaped grounds of a private property on the outskirts of Dartford, Yew Tree Cottage offers something unusual: a peaceful countryside feel with Central London under an hour away by train. This single-storey lodge sleeps four across two double bedrooms, with the bonus of a shared outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. Step inside to find a welcoming sitting room with a television, where comfortable seating invites post-adventure relaxation. The equipped kitchen handles holiday cooking, while a separate dining room provides space for family meals together. Two bedrooms feature double beds, one with its own television for lazy morning viewing. A modern shower room with a walk-in shower completes the interior. Outside, an enclosed front patio provides private outdoor space with furniture for morning coffee or evening drinks. The shared swimming pool operates from June through September, offering refreshing dips during warmer months, while the hot tub provides year-round indulgence. Note that pool and hot tub use ends at 8pm for cleaning and chemical balancing, so plan your evening soak accordingly. The location delivers genuine flexibility. Dartford Station connects to London in under an hour, opening up iconic landmarks from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey for memorable days out. The SEA LIFE London Aquarium enchants younger visitors, while Bluewater Shopping Centre sits nearby for retail therapy. Closer to home, Darenth Country Park offers peaceful strolls and family picnics, while the Dartford Borough Museum explores local history. Greenwich, with its Royal Observatory and the famous Cutty Sark, lies within easy reach, as does Rochester with its Norman castle and Dickensian streets. This is a property that bridges countryside tranquillity with urban accessibility in a way that few Kent retreats can match.
