This pretty country cottage provides the perfect base for any dog-walkers adventure holiday, inviting two guests and one dog to stay together. With its versatile bedroom and zip-and-link bed, the cottage accommodates a holiday-making pair of friends or a couple eager to enjoy a romantic retreat. Set tails wagging with any number of countryside adventures close to home, embarking each day with a pocket full of tennis balls and plenty of treats to see you through.

Pass through the rustic picket fence as you step inside the property, first finding a lovely bistro set where you can sit with a morning coffee whilst Rover sniffs around. There’s a second outdoor space also at the side of the property, also enclosed with space for your pup to play. Indoors, find everything laid out along the ground floor. There’s a bright and cheerful lounge/kitchen/diner with vaulted ceilings, skylights and wooden beams adding overall character to the place.

The cottage is immaculate & the love and care the owners have put inRead more is obvious,everything you need has been thought about. The decor is beautiful, the cottage is spotless and has every amenity you need,comfy beds, quality bed linen, duvet etc. The location is tranquil a mile walk will take you into the picturesque high street where there is a beautiful tea room,Michelin star restaurant and lovely village pub with friendly staff and great food. There are lots of beautiful places to visit nearby, Sissington Castle is about 2 miles away and lots f other National Trusts within driving distance including Chartwell,, Knole, Ingham Mote & Scotney Castle. There's lots of nice places to browse if you're a keen shopper, the outlet at Ashford is good for designer shops, whilst Tonbridge Wells & Canterbury are also easy to get too and Canterbury has a rng and ride where you can park a car & up to 4 occupants can get the bus for 4 (total cost).

We had a gorgeous holiday at the Old Dairy cottage, Caryn and Martin are lovely and welcoming hosts and thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The welcome pack with extra breakfast items was fantastic. The cottage is beautifully furnished, extremely comfy bed and cosy living space. The kitchen is the best equipped of any cottage I've stayeRead mored in, and as someone who likes to cook, I had absolutely everything needed to make breakfasts lunches and dinners. It was fantastic to have a full freezer for the dog's food. My dog loved the fenced in yard, and also being able to explore the fields around the small holding. You can tell the care and effort that the owners put into the holiday property as well as the farm, they're lovely people and we'll definitely be back! Hide

This was a perfect cottage for two. Comfortable, well equipped, super comfy bed, lovely decor and really could not find a thing at fault. Welcome pack was an extra special touch. It was relaxing to sit indoors or as we had perfect weather, outside surrounded by bird song. We chose the Old Dairy for its location, so we could explore that part of KenRead moret. There are beautiful gardens, castles and the sea all within reach. Rye is only 35 mins away and a beautiful old town to visit. There is designer shopping at the Ashford outlet. We highly recommend and in fact are already doing so! Hide
