  • A bright and airy home with footpaths from the doorstep
  • Private garden with picnic table and BBQ for al fresco dining

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.

We had a lovely stay at the Honey Pot. It was located in a great location to explore the countryside and the fully enclosed garden was nice to have to let Sid have a run around off lead. We had everything we needed, comfy sofa and bed, and a WiFi network that worked well which was a bonus (unlike some places we've stayed at).

Although we were only there for a long weekend, there are lots of places nearby to visit and we would have been happy staying for longer. Hide

Lovely well kept cottage and very welcoming hosts. Nice location close to the forest for walks, and also not too far by car from canterbury for a day out. Layout of the cottage takes a little getting use to but overall a really great experience.

We were instantly impressed the moment we arrived at this charming cottage.

Its nestled in a peaceful setting, yet perfectly plaRead moreced for exploring local gems like Whitstable, Folkestone, Hythe, and the surrounding countryside. One of the standout features is the private garden, just a few steps from the cottage. Its a lovely spot to wind down in the evening with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful, and their attention to detail made our stay even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, this is one of the nicest holiday homes we've experienced. Highly recommended were already looking forward to returning. Hide

A perfect weekend, in the wonderful honey pot cottage. Linda was so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Location was 2 mins drive from the woods, perfect for dog walking, Linda gave us 2 recommendations for pubs, each were 7 mins drive away and the food in both was brilliant. We will definitely be back, thank you Linda.

The cottage is lovely but not pet friendly. The garden is not attached to the cottage. There is an open narrow path down the side which leads up 2 steps before you enter the allocated garden. The cottage driveway and front garden is open to the road. It is not secure for dogs.
