We had a lovely stay at the Red Leaves Cottage. We would recommend it! The locations was really good: Charing is a beautiful town and close to the cottage starts the public footh path. The cottage is very cosy and clean!

This is a very nice, comfortable cottage. The North Downs across the road. Car parking is on the main road I found it difficult to find on a dark rainy night. But a phone call to the proprietor gave me immediate advice and personal direction. All good. Bird song in the morning a little occassional road noise from quads on Pilgrims walk. The Bowl offered a lovely variety of roast veg for Sunday lunch. All good
