A tastefully remodelled hop pikers hut set on a working estate in the peaceful tranquillity of the Kent countryside, this unique rural hideaway is the perfect getaway for a family and their four-legged friend. Get tails wagging with scamper along the forest paths at Bewl Water and refuel with a sweet treat at the waterfront cafe where refreshing bowls of water are provided for your parched pup, then get dinner sizzling on the patio BBQ while Fido snoozes in the sun.
This contemporary conversion features an airy open-plan interior with chic soft furnishings, fresh pops of zesty lime tones, and sleek wooden details. Kick off boots and unclip muddy harnesses at the front door then step inside the spacious heart of the home. Flop down onto the comfortable sofas and rest up weary feet as you relax with a film or sneak a pre-dinner nap. Prepare a leisurely supper in the handless gloss kitchen or perch at the breakfast bar with a drink and flick through your latest doggy action shots. Throw open the patio doors and feast al fresco on the terrace with a sweeping country backdrop then, as the sun sets, grab some blankets, scoop up your worn-out pup, and enjoy fluffy cuddles beneath the stars. Rest up in the well-presented bedrooms consisting of a double and a single or pull out the sofa bed to accommodate extra guests.
History buffs and cultured canines alike will delight in roaming the medieval landscaped grounds of the moated Scotney Castle, 4 miles, where well-behaved hounds can lap up a refreshing drink from the water bowls on the tearoom terrace. Sniff out the earthy forest fragrances as you saunter through the woodland paths at the Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest, 5 miles, or gear up for some water sports and wave chasing at the picturesque stretch of shoreline at Camber Sands, 26 miles.
