Located on the fringes of the peaceful village of Challock, this charming country cottage provides the perfect rural retreat for families and groups of friends looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life with their canine companions.

Adorned with neutral hues and natural wood furnishings that perfectly reflect your unspoilt countryside scenery, the homely lounge boasts a truly peaceful ambience – your four-pawed pal won’t be able to resist dozing at your feet. Lead the way into the spacious, open-plan kitchen/diner to tame the growl of hungry tummies with your tasty local treats; throw open the patio doors to unwind to the whistle of the evening breeze. The reading room on the first floor offers the perfect spot to plan tomorrow’s walkies and provides two handy double sofa beds to cater for additional guests. Climb to the second floor to find two light and bright bedrooms, one king-size and one twin, that feature wonderful countryside views to wake up to. A well-appointed family wet room completes the interior. Outside, playful pups can let off some steam in the enclosed garden as you enjoy a sundowner on the patio. Guests will also find private parking for two cars.

Located in the North Downs in a peaceful rural setting within a national landscape, the only sound you’ll hear as you explore Challock is your top dog’s collar chiming through the wind. Take the lead to nearby Chilham (6 miles) to find plenty of exciting new smells to enjoy walking its medieval square lined with beautiful timber-framed houses or uncover acres of historic parkland and woodland as you explore the estate surrounding Godinton House and Gardens (8 miles). In the heart of Kent, venture to Ashford (8 miles) to enjoy long walkies around the beautiful gardens surrounding Belmont House (6 miles).

Delightfully appointed property in good, central position from which to explore. Getting away from it all - with all the mod cons! Great communication and assistance when we encountered the 'water crisis'! Enjoyable stay!

Lovely property, very clean, beds were super comfortable. I did think the garden would be bigger for my 2 big dogs, but woods and lovely walks just down the road as well as the barn shop with essentials and a fantastic choice of plants(if you have room). Big supermarkets only a 15-20 min drive. Do be careful on the stairs when your half asleep anRead mored needing the loo in the night, We did have one fall. The main road is busy first thing in the morning, it is a fast road so take care pulling out. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable Hide

Great dog walks nearby, lovely woods to explore. No local shops nearby, you have to do a 12 minute drive to a large busy town.

The cottage was very comfortable with excellent fixtures and fittings. Everything was high quality and worked well, including the heating which was instant! The dogs loved the covers on the chairs and sofa - very thoughtful.

We had a lovely weekend in this beautiful cottage. It was very spacious for our needs (4 adults and a dog). The cottage had great facilities and the owner had provided additional touches, which were very thoughtful and useful! We had a couple of lovely days out exploring the local area which was accessible and dog friendly. I have already told frieRead morends about the cottage as it is a great base to explore Kent and the surrounding area. Thank you so much! Hide

Nice, well-maintained cottage. Unfortunately, the exit to the road is very unsafe. Also, it is not an ideal location for dog owners. Dogs cannot be let out directly at the cottage; you always have to drive to a place to take them for a walk. However, there are lovely forests in the area to walk the dogs. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - ThankRead more you for your review. We are pleased to hear you found some of the lovely walks in the area. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs however we recommend keeping them under control in the parking area which is open to the road. Hide

Well appointed tastefully decorated accommodation with really comfy beds The driveway is on a dodgy bend and there are steps down to the cottage that are a bit tricky without a hand rail and no way of shutting them off to keep elderly pets or young children safe.
