Wander the picturesque Kent Downs with your paw-fect walking partner then retreat to this enticing cottage. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom hideaway is situated in quiet Loose, 2.5 miles from Maidstone. With a pretty, enclosed garden where you and your hound can savour the summer sunshine, there is also a wood burner for furry feet to toast beside after crisp autumn and winter walks.

Rinse muddy paws in the special dog wash area after every long ramble through the glorious Kent countryside. Head into the modern kitchen/diner to cater for your party with the delicious local produce you have sourced on your excursions. Open the French doors in here so your pal can pad outside as you keep an eye on him from the breakfast bar, over a cup of fresh coffee from the machine. Take him through to the snug for some quiet time or let him join in the holiday fun in the large lounge/diner, where there is a Smart TV and wood burner. There is also a boot room, where you can store his doggy items, a WC and an office downstairs. Scratch soft ears before making your way up to the first floor. Here, you will find a king-size bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, a double and a bunk bedroom. There is also a family bathroom and a super-king-size bedroom that can also be set up as a twin by prior agreement. Let your chum explore the garden on fine days, while you relax on the patio or grill sausages on the BBQ. There is private parking for three cars.

Visit Sissinghurst, 12.5 miles away, where hounds are welcome on the 450-acre grounds and can even splash in the lake. Riverside Country Park, 13.5 miles away, is another great option for pups that like to paddle.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights with a toddler, a dog, a great grandma, grandparents and uncle who was getting married during our stay! The house worked well for us as it had a nice big kitchen where the wedding cake was prepared and plenty of downstairs space. We did have to shuffle cars a bit as we had to accommodate a wedding car but allRead more in all it worked out well. The property is a relaxing space to be in. Some reviews state it was noisy, it is on a main road so that is to be expected. The noise didnt bother us and we were prepared for it. I would book again if I came back to the area. Hide

The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed our time there, but whilst technically it may be in a village, it is in a build-up area and on a very busy road. The part which feels more like a village, with the local pub, is a couple of hundred yards away.
