Pack for your pooch, too, for a stay at this charming accommodation, ideal for up to four family members or friends, while you explore the Kent Downs and surrounding area. It’s part of a small complex with two other properties and a shared games and laundry room, so it has flexibility to suit one or two couples or a small family – possibly as part of a wider friendship or family group staying in the other properties in this former cow shed. Fun times await.
Step inside this charming cottage into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with its high ceiling and occasional exposed ancient beam, reminding you of its former use. The bright and airy living space has comfortable sofa seating as well as a dining table easily fitting four. The well-equipped kitchen is cleverly positioned along the back wall. All on one level, the property includes two tasteful double bedrooms, both with an en-suite shower room. Your private patio awaits outside with furniture for eating, drinking or just sitting and pondering what to do tomorrow. The communal games room is off this area, with a pool table, a piano and general games on offer for younger or more competitively minded members of your party. There’s private parking for two cars in this sizeable communal courtyard as well.
Outdoorsy types on two and four legs will appreciate the sniffs and scenic views from the footpaths that criss-cross the stunning Kent Downs countryside. The medieval city of Canterbury (10.5 miles) offers a wealth of historic buildings, including the striking Canterbury Cathedral. Or you can simply have a general mooch with your pooch here, enjoying good cafes and restaurants, traditional pubs and independent shopping. If the seaside calls, make for Hythe (10.5 miles) with its shingle beach or try Folkestone (13 miles).
