Quiet location. Lovely garden, peaceful. Full of character and plenty of places to find and see in house when exploring. Pub opposite was great and bought food over to us. Very friendly.

Property information

This is an amazing 16th Century House which has been renovated to a very high standard, combining modern kitchen and bathroom facilities, inglenook fireplace, wonky floors and huge oak beams. It sits in a picturesque village opposite a great pub. Close-by you will find beautiful countryside, Canterbury (15 mins drive) and the wonderful Kent coast. It's an easy jumping off point for trips to London (50 mins by Train) or France/Belgium. The garden is huge and runs down to a shallow fenced river. Comfortable 4 double bedroom cottage full of character and comfort ideally located to explore Kent. It is perfect for families or groups coming on holiday or to work in the area. Fresh bed linen (100% cotton) and towels, professionally washed and ironed, are provided as well as essential sundries such as toilet rolls and hand-soap to get started.

Neighbourhood information

The Bell House is located opposite The Rose Inn, a very nice friendly Pub with good food and kids are welcome in the restaurant area (wise to book on Fridays and Saturdays). They will even bring food over to you at the cottage and take away the washing up if you feel like staying “home”! Summer BBQ’s are very popular. Also around the corner of the house you can find the Bell Bakery if you wish to get some fresh goodies for breakfast. Local Shops can be found at both Littlebourne and Wingham (both have quite long opening hours - Wingham has the biggest stock and is open to 8pm daily). They both sell bread papers milk etc plus a pretty extensive range of the normal small supermarket type stuff. There is a great organic/farm shop which is on the right of the road just before you enter Wingham. You can get all sorts of very good quality stuff from olives, cheese bread and organic joints of meat to locally produced fruit and vegetables. It is a bit pricey but worth it if you want to treat yourself. Nearest supermarkets are in Canterbury: Morrissons (on the Western side of Canterbury), Asda (on the Eastern side of Canterbury) and Sainsbury's, Tesco and M&S in the middle of the city.
