Barge Cottage is located on the outskirts of the pretty hamlet of Rolvenden Layne, a quiet rural community with no busy roads, making it a sought-after location. The popular public house, the Ewe & Lamb is well known for its good food, and just a short drive away is the village of Rolvenden, with a thriving village store as well as two public houses and a popular primary school.
