Property code: OC-CT041

Set in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with footpaths and woodland trails on your door, this is the ideal property for a couple's countryside retreat. Take a bike ride along the local cycling routes or a walk through the woods opposite the property and drop into the village tearooms for coffee and cake. Pop into the nearby farm shop (1.5 miles) to pick up local produce and cook up a storm on the cottage’s BBQ. Canterbury is 11.5 miles away with great shopping, many restaurants, the Marlowe Theatre and its famous cathedral. The seaside towns of Hythe (7 miles) and Whitstable (18 miles) are within easy reach for a day out at the beach. Alternatively, visit Wingham Wildlife Park, 11.5 miles away, or the fabulous Howletts Zoo, 9.5 miles away, for close encounters of the animal kind.

Upon arrival at the cottage, you will be greeted with a wonderful locally-sourced welcome pack including eggs laid by the homeowner's own chickens; a jar of honey collected by the homeowner from their hive of bees and processed on the grounds; and locally-sourced juice, milk and condiments. The front door opens into a hallway with direct access to a king-size bedroom with oak furnishings and hand-painted artwork above the bed frame. Upstairs is where you’ll find a spacious open-plan living/dining area with comfortable seating and a charming dining table. The modern, fully-fitted kitchen is full of natural light from a slanted skylight and comes complete with everything needed to dine at home. A contemporary tiled bathroom completes the cottage.

Outside, guests have access to a private, fully-enclosed garden encompassing a patio area and lawn with a picnic table and BBQ.

A beautiful and very clean and well equipped cottage. Everything you would need on a holiday, is provided. The surroundings are very quiet. But still only a short drive for groceries or to go to a pub. The owners who live next door are very friendly and welcoming. Your own garden is private though, which was nice for our dog. We would love to sRead moretay here again when were in the area. Hide

A perfect break away at a beautifully presented cottage. It is set adjacent to the owners own cottage and their beautiful garden, in a very quiet setting. The lovely owners provide everything you could need, making it a real home from home. Wish we'd booked for longer and we'll certainly stay there again if we're in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Honey Pot, great location for visiting Dover, Canterbury, and beaches all only 20 minutes away. Very comfortable furniture and bed - great night's sleep. Welcome basket was a lovely added bonus and we had everything we needed. Dog friendly, would definitely recommend. Very friendly owners too.

Can't recommend this property enough. The owners are very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The welcome basket was really good and included some of the honey they make on site. Made for a delicious breakfast! The cottage is cosy and very well kept. All the furniture and fittings were excellent and it had modern TVs with all the streaming serviceRead mores.
