This fabulous cottage, within the conservation area of the abbey, sleeps six guests and three canine companions. Take a stroll along the medieval streets and marvel at the extraordinary architecture – there are over 300 listed buildings in Faversham! Explore the North Downs Way (join at Canterbury, 10 miles away) with the pups and enjoy mile upon mile of unspoilt scenery or head to the coast to find English seaside charm in Whitstable, 8.5 miles away.

 

The weatherboarded cottage cleverly mixes traditional features with modern styles, creating a chic yet cosy interior. The dining room has a large table to seat the whole party, making it a great spot for entertaining. The light and bright kitchen/diner is the ideal place for the hounds to set up camp, as there’s a toasty Rayburn to doze in front of and French doors that open onto the garden. Outside, there’s a fully enclosed garden where the pups can play.

 

The 153-mile North Downs Way takes you through two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, following an ancient chalk ridge. Your four-legged friends will love all the new smells as you pass through wild grassland and shady woodland. Spend the day by the sea in Whitstable. The sand and shingle West Beach is dog friendly all year and is lined with pretty beach huts. Grab some fresh seafood and enjoy supper on the beach as the sun goes down. Belmont House and Gardens, 5.5 miles away, is another lovely excursion. The furballs are welcome in the grounds on leads, where you’ll find gorgeous gardens, exquisite orchards and immaculate formal lawns.

We had a fantastic stay over New Year at Anchor Light cottage. A super cottage with everything you need and a great location to get out to Whitstable and other destinations. Would love to come again! Thank you!

A very interesting house but sadly when we arrived and entered the property we noticed a very strong unpleasant doggy smell which was coming from the carpets and sofas. We messaged the owner the following day, Saturday, and although she had a cleaning company arrive Wednesday it was too late for us to use the living rooms, however the kitchen waRead mores lovely and the upstairs bathrooms. Beds were comfortable but it was strange that all the wardrobes contained all the owners belongings. Disappointed.

response from holidaycottages.co.uk Thank you for your review. The owner was pleased that could get the carpet and sofas cleaned during your stay, but sorry that this wasn't done sooner. We can confirm that the property has also been personally inspected by holidaycottages.co.uk

Lovely secluded location. Very comfortable beds, the bathrooms are spotless and in excellent shape. Great live in kitchen. Sarah was warm and friendly and this was reflected in her cosy little house.

Good location, but access is tricky due to a narrow path, making unloading difficult. Garden photos are misleadingit's overgrown, though the patio is a sunny spot. Downstairs is dark; we mainly stayed in the kitchen, which was pleasant. Lounge had a strange smell, and flies were an issue in two rooms. Cottage needs TLC and cobweb cleaning. OwnerRead mores belongings fill cupboards, especially in back bedroomsone wardrobe was unusable. The owner provided useful info about walks and places to visit.

response from holidaycottages.co.uk Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner.

Comfortable cottage in excellent location in old bit of Faversham. Great mix of old (really old) cottage and new extension with big family kitchen and modern bathrooms upstairs. Close to lots of good bars/restaurants and 10 mins walk to large Tescos. Well be back!

Beautiful cottage, close to amenities but very peaceful. Would recommend it. Hostess is lovely and happy to give plenty of tips on where to visit and eat. Plenty of space for all humans and dogs, yet cosy and comfortable.

We were greeted by the owner, Sarah, who had brought flowers, Prosecco and eggs - just to start our holiday off. The property was cosy and warm and the log fires each evening were an absolute delight as it was bitterly cold while we were in Faversham. The area is beautiful with a gambit of coffee houses and restaurants. Visiting other towns is a muRead morest as there is so much to see. We returned home feeling totally relaxed and would definitely recommend it. Well done, Sarah. Hide

Cosy cottage in the heart of Faversham town. Plenty to see and do within easy reach both on foot or by car. Compact enclosed garden kept the dogs in situ. Street parking only by permit but never had an issue parking nearby.
