1 Month from Now… You could be at Wimbledon

If you are one of the lucky people to have snaffled up tickets to Centre Court, then why not think about renting a holiday cottage for your trip to the All England Lawn Tennis Club?  Rather than staying in sticky central London during the championships, you could stay a short train or drive away in rural Sussex or Kent.  Imagine coming home to a lovely period cottage in beautiful countryside for a cold glass of Pimms after a day of cheering on your favourite players.  That has to beat staying in a non-descript hotel room where you don’t even have your own kettle?

We have picked out a selection of self-catering holiday cottages which could be just the ticket!

The Granary

This is the perfect holiday cottage for a couple who have tickets to Wimbledon but also want to have a relaxing rural stay.  The Granary in West Sussex is only 5 miles from the sea and an easy one hour drive or train ride to the tennis.  With the South Downs on your doorstep, this holiday let has a lot to offer.

 

Horseshoes Farm House

Horseshoes Farm House in East Sussex is not only handy for visiting the tennis championships in June; it is only 20 minutes from the beautiful spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells and the stunning Kent countryside around it.  This holiday let sleeps 6 people and is stacked with period features, including an original bread oven.

 

The Buttery

Appearances can be deceptive.  No more so than with this cottage.  It may look rather bijou but this picture postcard Kent cottage actually sleeps up to 8 people!  Close to Maidstone, this cottage is an hour from Centre Court.  Fashionable sea-side resort, Whitstable, with it’s boutiques and gastro-pubs is a short drive away also. Close to London and all of it’s sights, yet far enough away for a relaxing break.
