About Greenways

Greenways is a massive single-storey holiday home in Egerton, Kent that'll make you wonder if you accidentally booked a mansion. This sprawling bungalow sits on a quiet country lane in a quintessential Kent village, offering four en-suite bedrooms and enough space to lose your in-laws if they're driving you mad.

Set within an acre of enclosed garden and paddock, this accommodation gives you proper breathing room. Kids can go wild on the swing while you plot your exploration of Kent's gorgeous countryside. Numerous footpaths wind through local fields and orchards, perfect for walking off that pub lunch from the village. Fancy day trips? Leeds Castle, Sissinghurst Gardens and Tenterden's steam railway are all within easy reach.

The accommodation is ridiculously well-equipped. There's a huge conservatory with underfloor heating, a games table with foosball and table tennis and four bedrooms (three doubles, one twin) each with their own bathroom. Every bedroom has a Smart TV - because sharing the remote is so 1990s.

Visit Headcorn (5 miles) for shops and a train station, or Tenterden (9 miles) for independent shops and cafés. Leeds Castle makes a brilliant family day out, while Sissinghurst Castle Gardens will satisfy plant enthusiasts. Godinton House is just a short drive away too.

Greenways is perfect for multi-generational gatherings or friend reunions. The massive L-shaped sofa, dining space for everyone and six-person hot tub create the ultimate social setup. Just don't fight over who gets the enormous master bedroom!

Greenways Reviews

Alex Turner
The place was lovely, really spaciousand they're genuinely dog-friendly. Owners were super welcoming, even gave us a quick tour when we arrived. Great stay!
Sam Taylor
From the moment we arrived, the owners greeted us warmly, making us feel really welcome. The cottage was surprisingly spacious, with all the bedrooms being a good size, especially the massive master. The games area with pool and air hockey was a brilliant touch and kept everyone entertained, even the three generations. We loved the hot tub and used it every day, rain or shine. Our dogs felt totally secure in the garden too. If you want a chilled holiday without leaving the cottage, this place is perfect. Highly recommend!
George

It's tucked away in a peaceful countryside spot, with a handy pub just a short drive. The bedrooms are super comfyand having en-suites is a real bonus. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogsand the hot tub and game table kept everyone entertained. Huge thanks to Faye and Barry for making it so special!
