The Ultimate Royal Retreat is a fantastic getaway location in the Kent countryside. Thanks to careful planning, groups of up to 20 people could be accommodated. The property has two lovely buildings adjacent to one another. Both are easily accessible because they are one-story structures with complete wheelchair accessibility. The primary lodging option is Birnam Retreat, which features a lovely open-plan living space with a contemporary kitchen. This spacious dining area can accommodate twelve guests, and a cosy lounge area with Smart TVs for entertainment.
The bright gym area, which overlooks the well-kept gardens, demonstrates the property’s commitment to health and exercise. Everyone can sleep comfortably in the main building’s three well-designed bathrooms and five exquisitely furnished bedrooms. In a more private setting, the Olive Grove offers more rooms. It features three ensuite bedrooms, a large dining area, a fully functional kitchen, and an open-plan living area with direct access to the garden.
The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully planned to provide various leisure and entertainment options. The expansive gardens feature thoughtfully designed decked spaces ideal for outdoor dining and grilling. Younger visitors can also enjoy a separate children’s play area. The addition of two swim spas and hot tubs is fantastic — they are positioned thoughtfully to offer fun for the whole family and relaxation for adults.
The property has been thoughtfully added to with modern conveniences like an electric vehicle charging station and off-road parking for up to nine cars.

Edmund's Choice of Extraordinary Feature
“The grounds are lovely, but for me what really hits the spot is the swim spas. What could better than sitting back and relaxing in bubbling water on a summer evening under the stars?”
