Quietly situated on the edge of a magnificent hotel and golf resort deep in the rolling Kent countryside, this charming two-storey cottage is the ideal location for a couple seeking a restful and reviving retreat. Golfers can enjoy a round on Broome Park’s superb parkland course as day members and a meal in the impressive Grade I-listed mansion house hotel afterwards. The neighbouring village of Barham, 2 miles, has a village store and pub, as well as a wine estate offering vineyard tours and tastings. Historic Canterbury, with its stunning cathedral, winding streets, museums and shops, is just over 9 miles from the property and makes for an appealing day out. The beguiling Kent coastline is within easy reach of this property too – take the opportunity to walk some of the spectacular White Cliffs route. St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe, 12.5 miles, is a good starting point; circle back to the village for a cream tea or a pub meal after a bracing cliff-top walk.

Upon entering this tastefully decorated property, guests first encounter an elegant kitchen/diner, where a smart kitchen area with granite worktops has a breakfast bar and stools for quick bites as well as a dining area with a dining table and chairs for more relaxed dining. The spacious lounge is accessed via a single step up – in this room, there are comfortable sofas positioned to make the most of lovely garden views framed by the French doors. A striking wrought-iron spiral staircase leads from the dining area up to the first floor, where there is a pretty, carpeted double bedroom with further garden views and a contemporary en-suite shower room with a double-width walk-in shower.

Outdoors, the property has access to enclosed gardens extending to 3.5 acres, encompassing lawns and woodland areas, in addition to a paved patio with garden furniture.

The outside area, patio, grass and garden was immense, Situated only a 100 metres from a main road itRead more was very quiet, and secluded. Easy access to Canterbury or the Kent coastline of Broadstairs .Sandwich, Deal etc plus some local scenic walks add even more benefits to this exceptional accommodation. Thank you to our hosts for making us feel very welcome. Hide

Having been to many holiday cottages over the years it was a nice change to actually be greeted and made welcome by the owner in person who provided us with useful local information. Also as a couple that like to make full use of the facilities on offer (rather than always eating/drinking out) the cottage was extremely well equipped with good qualRead moreity items. Beautifully sited with lovely views but just to bear in mind that the cottage and garden was not totally private from the owners property. That said and understood I would definitely recommend it.

Just returned from 7 nights at Well Cottage, what a lovely, tranquil setting. Perfect place for a couple to relax but still within 30 minutes maximum of lovely coastal towns of Whitstable and Deal. Canterbury and Dover are less and 15 minutes, and beautiful countryside and walks on your doorstep. The cottage itself is next to the main house of theRead more owner but you do not feel overlooked or checked up upon, they introduced themselves when we first arrived but other than asking if it was ok to mow the huge area that is attached to the cottage, totally dog proof by the way, and 3 1/2 acres, we very rarely saw them. Going back to the grounds, they are wonderful, our dog, and we, loved it, totally enclosed, 1/3 mowed, the rest left wild with paths randomly mowed through to benches under trees and a fire pit area (unsure if this is just a family area only), lovely. We were lucky as the weather was hot and sunny all week and we were able to make use of the outdoor space, bistro table and chairs and a bench and coffee table to sit and eat out in the evenings. The cottage is quaint and well equipped for a couple, a nice welcome box with bread, milk, juice, eggs, tea, coffee and a lovely cake was a nice surprise, well equipped kitchen with a good variety of pots and pans and utensils, with dishwasher (we didnt use), washing machine and fridge. Access could be difficult for less mobile people to the bedroom/bathroom area via the spiral staircase but there is a back outdoor stairway that gives access, my wife has just had a replacement knee 2 weeks ago and managed ok going up the the spiral and down the outside. Overall, lovely property for a couple and small medium dog, would definitely book to return sometime in the future. Hide

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The cottage is perfect - beautifully appointed and the views are stunning. We loved watching the pheasants and the blue tits waking us up in the morning. Thank you for the card and making us welcome. I hope you have a very Happy Easter.
