Any dog with a nose for adventure will be in their element staying with its pack at this two-bed converted farm building on the outskirts of Benenden. Located on a working farm amid rolling Kentish countryside, footpaths cross the farmland, so walkies will never pose a problem. Just be mindful of excitable pups around livestock. The comfortable home-from-home offers bright and airy open-plan living with versatile sleeping quarters. As such, it would ideally suit a small family plus canine chum looking to explore the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
You can monitor the family group, while doing your own thing in the modern, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner as each area is clearly demarcated, while all being in the same generous space. And with wooden flooring throughout, there are plenty of spots for your furry friend to curl up and snooze. There’s a sofa bed in the comfortable lounge area, in case anyone needs to sleep downstairs; there’s also a ground-floor shower room. The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering endeavours. Up the oak staircase, you’ll find one king-size and one twin bedroom, which are both spacious and have light decor and a calming vibe for a good night’s sleep. Outside, an enclosed patio and garden with furniture afford fabulous rural views.
Grab your dog’s lead and stride out on footpaths crossing the farm itself, or have a go at angling as fishing is available by arrangement in five ponds stocked with carp. If you fancy a night off cooking, the nearest pub is very doggy friendly, 1.5 miles away. This cottage is in a brilliant location for touring the heart of Kent. The pretty Wealden town of Cranbrook with its shops and landmark windmill is just 3 miles. Or go mutts together at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest (9 miles).
