Highly regarded cottage B&B in Kent hits the market

Willow Cottage is a beautifully restored 17th-century cottage offering five exquisite en suite guest rooms, secure off-road parking, and a tranquil garden setting. There is also a dedicated breakfast room for guests, providing a welcoming space for morning dining.

Situated on Romney Marsh, a unique and captivating corner of Kent, the historic area offers a tranquil escape where visitors can enjoy unspoilt countryside. Romney Marsh is also home to ancient churches, traditional pubs, nature reserves and miles of scenic walking and cycling routes, making it an ideal destination for those seeking coastal adventures.

Formerly known as Dr Syn's Guest House and subsequently rebranded as Willow Cottage, the cottage is known for its warm hospitality, excellent guest reviews and well-maintained grounds spanning a generous plot of 0.44 acres.

A spacious patio terrace offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, allowing guests and owners alike to enjoy the peaceful surroundings during the warmer months.

Paul and Helen Haywood have owned the business for the past nine years but have decided to sell in order to focus on retirement.

They said, “We have thoroughly enjoyed running Willow Cottage as a B&B for the past nine years.  We have welcomed hundreds of guests during our time, from all parts of the UK and many European countries.  

“We have found that the location provides a steady stream of guests throughout the year, coming here for many different reasons. We are very close to the Eurotunnel for travellers coming to or from UK, close to Dungeness and Port Lympne, as well as on a national cycling trail, and minutes from the sea and the Kent coast path.

“We now feel it’s the right time to retire and pass on our beautiful home and business for its next chapter."

Mike Maher, Business Agent – Hotels at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale process, commented, “Across the market, we continue to see strong demand for quality lifestyle businesses that offer an attractive work-life balance alongside established income streams.

“Buyers are increasingly looking for businesses in coastal and rural locations where they can combine entrepreneurship with a desirable place to live, and Willow Cottage fits that profile perfectly.”

Willow Cottage is on the market freehold with an asking price of £720,000.
