Property code: OC-O31997

Tucked between the seaside towns of Hythe and Sandgate, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom cottage is a canine-friendly coastal escape for families, friends, and their tail-wagging companions. With an enclosed garden and a dog-friendly beach 500 metres away, you're perfectly placed to make the most of Kent's coast and countryside.

Step inside this welcoming cottage, and you'll find a warm mix of original features and contemporary touches. The characterful lounge has comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and a wood-burner set into a brick fireplace. The recently refurbished kitchen/diner blends farmhouse charm with modern style, boasting a Belfast sink, oak worktops, and everything you need to cook up a storm. Choose between sociable meals around the dining table or soak up the garden views from the light-filled conservatory, which has extra seating and a second dining area. Upstairs, you’ll find three lovely bedrooms: a king-size, a flexible king-size zip-and-link (which can be set up as a twin), and a cosy single room. The family bathroom invites you to unwind with a spacious walk-in shower and a luxurious roll-top bath. A downstairs WC adds extra convenience. Outside, the fully enclosed garden is a safe haven for four-legged adventurers, with a patio area for al fresco dining, sun loungers, and a charcoal BBQ. There's even enough space for a game of fetch. Guests also benefit from private parking for one car and a secure bike store.

Start your mornings with a stroll along the picturesque Royal Military Canal in Hythe. Alternatively, hop aboard the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Steam Railway to explore the wild beauty of Dungeness. Keen walkers and their energetic four-pawed sidekicks will enjoy venturing into the Kent Downs National Landscape, with postcard-worthy villages such as Saltwood and Elham to explore. The stretch of beach in front of Sandgate Esplanade (0.5 miles) is nearby too.

A good sized cottage able to sleep 5 people. Well - equipped with new bathrooms and kitchen. The conservatory is great and we used it a lot. Plenty of tables and chairs so there was a choice of where to sit. We used the wi-fi with no problems and the welcome hamper was nice. The cottage was warm with central heating which was needed for the week weRead more were there (the owners soon helped us to get that working). Conveniently placed for access to frequent local busses to Hythe (including the station for the steam trains) and Folkestone in the other direction. Tescos is just up the road with a petrol station too so easy access to most things. Plenty of other seaside resorts to visit too.as well as other places as the M20 is not far away. Hide

We arrived on a very hot Saturday and the owners had already messaged us to say they had opened the conservatory windows and left us a fan. Really appreciated and very much needed for the first few days. The cottage was in a great location for walking to the canal and beach. Our dogs loved the garden and all the walks locally. We were left a loRead morevely basket of local treats and the dogs had their own treats and also bowls and beds left out for them. A proper dog friendly property. The owners had thought of everything and it was a real treat and extremely comfortable to stay there. We were there for work purposes as well as catching up with friends and family, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly for me to work remotely. All in all a really cute and interesting cottage in a perfect location. One of the best weve stayed in (and weve stayed in a lot!). Would highly recommend. Hide
