Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Cranbrook

The town of Cranbrook lies in the heart of Kent, in Southeast England. It is known for its tangle of medieval streets and lanes, where fine architecture and independent businesses can be found. Once a centre for the region’s cloth weaving industry, the town’s most recognisable landmark, Union Mill, still dominates the skyline. Nearby, St Dunstan’s church is another local landmark to look out for on self-catering holidays in Cranbrook. Known as the cathedral of the Weald, this impressive building overlooks the surrounding countryside. To delve into the history of Cranbrook, visit the museum, housed in a wooden-structured cottage with a wealth of fascinating exhibits. On the doorstep of your holiday cottage in Cranbrook, you will discover an incredible variety of shops selling antiques, books, clothing, and more. In addition, the town hosts an annual apple carnival and a literary festival, and events are regularly held at the Queens Hall Theatre. Cranbrook is located within the High Weald National Landscape, where scenic walks can be enjoyed through unspoiled woods, fields, and the area’s many medieval manors. Towns and villages on the Kent coast, such as Hastings, Dungeness and Folkestone, are a short drive southward from Folkestone.
