For an authentic countryside stay with man’s best friend loyally by your side, look no further than this delightful Kent cottage. Filled with plenty of authentic charm including original floorboards, wooden beams and a handsome Inglenook fireplace, this medieval cottage provides a truly unique place for a pup-friendly retreat. Sleeping four guests and one canine companion, the property lends itself perfectly to a couple hoping to enjoy a little bit of extra space or a getaway with friends. There’ll be no shortage of daily dog walks on offer close by, after all, surrounding Kent is commonly referred to as ‘the garden of England’.

Wonderfully restored and filled with antique furniture, this two-bedroom cottage truly provides a once-in-a-lifetime stay for your beloved pack. Be sure to pack up your dog’s favourite bowl and bed to bring some home comforts along with you, perhaps finding the pup a lovely sleeping spot by the wood burner in the lounge. This space and the adjacent snug offer the most calming places to relax throughout the colder months. In summer, however, you can step out and soak up the sunshine in the enclosed garden, a spot which allows even the most escape-prone dogs to roam around freely.

Set tails wagging with walkies right from your doorstep, venturing on into the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or exploring the wider estate of the vibrant Sissinghurst Castle Garden (1 mile). Nearby Cranbrook (2 miles) is a vibrant town and an excellent starting point for an array of circular walks. Leave no stick unfetched around Angley Wood (4 miles) or step out a little further for a waterfront walk around Bewl Water (9 miles). For pups who prefer to run with sand beneath their paws, the coastal beauty spot of Camber is reached in less than 21 miles.

Wonderful, warm and characterful cottage with a small garden for the dog. Excellent location in Sissinghurst, well insulated from traffic noise and easy to explore the local area. Just simply a beautiful cottage to stay in.
