Escape with your loved ones to this charming brick cottage perfectly located on the outside edge of the village of Challock. Sleeping up to six people across two bedrooms, with two additional beds in the reading room, it’s an ideal countryside escape for families or groups of friends in search of a contemporary farmhouse to call home while they explore the fantastic Kent countryside together. Head into Chilham (6 miles) to explore its medieval square, admire its timber-framed houses and visit Chilham Castle. Or visit the famed gardens of Sissinghurst under 30 minutes away. Alternatively, take a stroll around Godinton House and Gardens (8 miles). This beautiful Jacobean-style building boasts a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Alternatively, experience an African-style safari at Port Lympne Reserve (18.5 miles) and get up close to giraffes, rhinos and lions while touring the expansive grounds. Sample the fine vintages on offer at many of the local wineries from Domaine Evremond in the next village, partnered with Taittinger Champagne and to Balfour Winery (19.5 miles), which makes more than 400,000 bottles of still and sparkling wines each year

 Pull up into your private parking space and make a beeline for this lovely pitched-roof cottage. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by an inviting open-plan kitchen/dining area benefitting from plenty of natural light through the windows and double patio doors with a glimpse of the sea and the Isle of Sheppey – the perfect place for sociable breakfasts and evenings with your loved ones. Head through to the spacious lounge and take a moment to admire its chic, rustic-style interior, which is bathed in neutral hues and adorned with natural wood furnishings and the owner’s own artwork. When it’s time to eat, head to the smart country-style kitchen area to rustle up some dinner for your loved ones and gather everyone together to dine at the stylish wooden dining table. After dinner, chill out in front of the TV in the lounge, or head to the reading room on the first floor to relax, read, or play a board game. There are also two handy double sofa beds in the reading room. At the end of the day, you’ll find two beautifully-styled bedrooms on the second floor – one king-size and one twin. Completing the layout, you’ll find a large wet room on the split-level floor.

Enjoy a morning coffee in the fully-enclosed garden. It’s the ideal spot to fire up the charcoal BBQ in the evening.

Delightfully appointed property in good, central position from which to explore. Getting away from it all - with all the mod cons! Great communication and assistance when we encountered the 'water crisis'! Enjoyable stay!

Lovely property, very clean, beds were super comfortable. I did think the garden would be bigger for my 2 big dogs, but woods and lovely walks just down the road as well as the barn shop with essentials and a fantastic choice of plants(if you have room). Big supermarkets only a 15-20 min drive. Do be careful on the stairs when your half asleep anRead mored needing the loo in the night, We did have one fall. The main road is busy first thing in the morning, it is a fast road so take care pulling out. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable Hide

Great dog walks nearby, lovely woods to explore. No local shops nearby, you have to do a 12 minute drive to a large busy town.

The cottage was very comfortable with excellent fixtures and fittings. Everything was high quality and worked well, including the heating which was instant! The dogs loved the covers on the chairs and sofa - very thoughtful.

We had a lovely weekend in this beautiful cottage. It was very spacious for our needs (4 adults and a dog). The cottage had great facilities and the owner had provided additional touches, which were very thoughtful and useful! We had a couple of lovely days out exploring the local area which was accessible and dog friendly. I have already told frieRead morends about the cottage as it is a great base to explore Kent and the surrounding area. Thank you so much! Hide

Nice, well-maintained cottage. Unfortunately, the exit to the road is very unsafe. Also, it is not an ideal location for dog owners. Dogs cannot be let out directly at the cottage; you always have to drive to a place to take them for a walk. However, there are lovely forests in the area to walk the dogs. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - ThankRead more you for your review. We are pleased to hear you found some of the lovely walks in the area. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs however we recommend keeping them under control in the parking area which is open to the road. Hide

Well appointed tastefully decorated accommodation with really comfy beds The driveway is on a dodgy bend and there are steps down to the cottage that are a bit tricky without a hand rail and no way of shutting them off to keep elderly pets or young children safe.
