The intrepid explorers are off to Hole Cottage which has been at the top of my Landmark Trust places to visit list for ages, it is always booked up.
Hole Cottage is a cross-wing of a medieval timber framed house, the rest of which was pulled down in 1833. It sits in the woods by a stream.
We drove down to Canterbury for lunch at Cafe de Amigo's, which is our favourite Mexican restaurant, and ate amazing lamb fajitas. Had a wander around the town and bought 5 new cd's.
Drove on to Hole Cottage, it is absolutely enchanting, so much lovelier than the photo's portray. It nestles in the woods surrounded by the trees so that it just appears straight in front of you all of a sudden.
The cottage has a very pretty little sitting room and a small kitchen, the whole downstairs floor is in very old terra cotta bricks.
Upstairs our bedroom has a very high ceiling, old oak beams line all the walls and ceilings in every room.
Having unpacked we found some deck chairs in the barn and sit out in the garden listening to classical music and the birds singing, we love it here already, so tranquil and relaxing.
Later we eat steak and drink some wine and continue to relax in this lovely place.
