The Grape Escape sits right in the middle of a working vineyard in Biddenden, Kent. This compact cottage gives you front-row views of the grapevines and peaceful countryside beyond. It's small but perfectly formed - like that friend who's tiny but somehow fits everything important into their life. The cosy interior makes excellent use of space while the location offers a proper escape from everyday madness.

Set in Kent's gorgeous countryside (officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but we didn't need a certificate to tell us that), you're surrounded by footpaths for walks and fresh air. Tenterden is nearby with independent shops worth your time.

About The Grape Escape

The Grape Escape sits right in the middle of a working vineyard in Biddenden, Kent. This compact cottage gives you front-row views of the grapevines and peaceful countryside beyond. It's small but perfectly formed - like that friend who's tiny but somehow fits everything important into their life. The cosy interior makes excellent use of space while the location offers a proper escape from everyday madness.

Set in Kent's gorgeous countryside (officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but we didn't need a certificate to tell us that), you're surrounded by footpaths for walks and fresh air. Tenterden is nearby with independent shops worth your time. Several English vineyards dot the landscape - handy when you inevitably drink all the complimentary wine they give you. The Kent and East Sussex coast isn't far either when you fancy a sea breeze.

The accommodation features a ground floor lounge-diner with smart TV and dining table for two, plus a well-equipped kitchen with everything from an induction hob to a Nespresso machine. The bedroom sits on a mezzanine level (accessible by ladder - don't drink too much before bedtime) with a king-size bed and blackout blind for proper lie-ins.

Nearby attractions include Chapel Down Winery (8 miles, 15 minutes), Leeds Castle (15 miles, 25 minutes), Bodiam Castle (12 miles, 20 minutes) and Sissinghurst Castle Garden (6 miles, 12 minutes). Each offers different ways to soak up local history while pretending you're cultured.

The Grape Escape is perfect for couples wanting a romantic break. The secluded garden with wood-fired hot tub is ideal for stargazing with wine glasses in hand. Wine tasting included in your stay means you can pretend to know what "notes of blackberry" actually means. Cheers!

Is The Grape Escape Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The Grape Escape is designed specifically as an adult retreat. The mezzanine bedroom accessed by ladder, limited space and romantic focus make it unsuitable for children. The working vineyard setting also presents safety considerations. Families with kids should look at alternative properties in the Kent area that offer child-friendly facilities.
For Couples
The Grape Escape was built for romance. The private garden with wood-fired hot tub lets you stargaze together while sipping wine from the vineyard you're staying on. The king-size bed in the mezzanine creates a cosy sleeping space. Free wine tasting adds a special date experience. Evening BBQs watching sunset over the vines make unforgettable memories.
Pet Friendly
Dogs are welcome at The Grape Escape for £20 per week each. The enclosed garden provides safe outdoor space for your pet. Numerous countryside footpaths start right from your doorstep. The vineyard location offers interesting smells for curious dogs. Local pubs in Biddenden welcome well-behaved dogs, so you can take them along for meals out.

Alex Turner
We booked a last-minute two-night stay at The Grape Escapeand honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The place was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a lovely bottle of vineyard wine waiting for us - such a nice touch! The hot tub was totally private yet offered stunning sunset views over the vineyard, which was such a treat. The bed was super comfy, we even noted the name to buy one ourselves! Big thanks to Liz for being so accommodating. We’d definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

We had a lovely time at the cottage! The host was super friendly and really helpful whenever we needed. The location was perfect with stunning viewsand the decor was tastefully done. Would definitely recommend it. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!
Harper
We had a fantastic stay! The cottage's spot is just perfectand we explored loads of the places the owners suggested. Everyone around was so welcoming, which made it even better. The hot tub was a highlight-so relaxing, but do read the instructions or you'll end up boiling! We did have a little mishap on our first night, but overall, everything was comfy, peacefuland stunning. Also, we couldn’t resist taking home some of their delicious apple juice-absolutely loved it!
Emma
Honestly, this place felt like a proper retreat! The location was perfect for quick trips around and the cosy home was filled with little touches that made all the difference. Loved the sockets near the bed - so handy when my Kindle was running low. The ladder’s a bit narrow, so I’d say it’s better for those who aren’t too bothered about climbing. The hot tub under the stars was absolutely stunning, offering gorgeous views of the vineyard. We’d definitely come back for that experience!
Alex
We had a lovely stay in this peaceful countryside spot. Despite the weather being a bit dull, relaxing in the hot tub made it all worthwhile. It was just what we needed to unwind. Definitely planning to come back soon!
Emily
We spent an amazing week at The Grape Escape over Christmas. The location is peaceful and scenic, with loads of interesting spots nearby like castles, beachesand charming towns. There are plenty of pubs within a short drive, including some fantastic gastro offerings. The owner was super friendly, explaining everything clearly and even dropping by with a Christmas gift, which was a lovely touch! The cottage itself is stunning, cosyand thoughtfully decorated, making it a perfect retreat for a relaxing break. We loved it!
Emma
Really enjoyed our stay, will definitely come back!
