Delightful Pet and Family Friendly 2 bedroom Cottage in Challock, Kent

* The property is fully disinfected between visitors and has contactless entry available. The cottage is a completely separate entity within gated grounds, therefore you are able to be by yourselves and completely socially distanced. *

The Old Stables were converted into a cottage and are a completely separate entity from the main house within gated grounds, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen diner and living room open plan. All on one level with just a very small step at the front door. Modern kitchen and bathroom.

The Hot Tub is included in the price.

Located in Challock a small village with Woodland Trust walks just 1 minute away. On the top of the North Downs in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Canterbury, Maidstone, Ashford, Faversham, Whitstable, Leeds Castle, Chilham, Chartham and Wye and the south coast all within 20-30 min drive. Located as part of a secure gated property. Within 5 minutes of county pubs and restaurants.

The sun sets on the patio side of the property and makes for an even lovelier setting for sitting out at the end of your day. Bubble away your troubles in the hot tub and look up at the beautiful stars.

Two parking spaces. Outside patio with Hot Tub, BBQ and furniture.

The kitchen diner and living room are all one room, open plan. The front door is a stable door, which can have the top half open and the bottom half closed if you so desire.

The master bedroom contains a metal framed king size bed and the second smaller bedroom contains a queen size double divan bed. Space is tighter in the second smaller room but still adequate and comfortable.

There is a walk-in shower and a separate bath alongside the toilet and sink in the bathroom.

Oil fired central heating throughout.

The cottage is large, bright and all on one level. It feels cosy inside without being too small and the perfect secure base for your family and pets.

Please note there is £30.00 fee for a pet.

The cottage is situated on gated grounds and is within a secure garden area. It shares a driveway with the main house.

Our favourite local pub is The George at Molash, just a 7 minute drive away who serve the most amazing lunches and evening meals. They have a lovely country pub interior and a delightful garden with plenty of parking. (Dogs only outdoors)

The Stag at B Road Hunting is a local pub dedicated to car and motorbike enthusiasts. They have regular weekend and mid week events for cars and motorbikes as well as being a generally nice pub to be at.

Other favourite local pubs for food and drinks and that are dog friendly are The Plough at Stalisfield, The Bowl Inn at Charing, The Red Lion at Badlesmere and The Wagon & Horses in Challock.

Lovely break
Lovely little break for us, in a beautifully secluded little bungalow/cottage type place. Was short notice for the hosts but was lovely in every way still, just a shame it wasn’t longer. Plenty to do in the near vicinity, even if the weather isn’t the best. Well recommended.

The perfect cottage with hot tub for girly weekend
We loved our stay at the farm. The ideal location for driving to lovely local towns, Whitstable etc., check-in was very smooth and we were greeted on arrival. The cottage is really well stocked, not the usual rental with no crockery/wine glasses. We even remarked that the bedding & towels smelt so fresh. We chilled, we watched some TV, we luxuriated in the hot tub. There was ample space for our group of 3. We actually thought the cottage was better in person, than the photos - it is nice and spacious.

Great property in a wonderful situation
Victoria and Jim made us feel welcome after a long drive down to Kent, and were available if we needed anything. A beautiful little cottage in a really peaceful setting, surrounded by trees. With places to see within easy reach by car, games and books to hand in the cottage, and space for the dog to smell and explore outside. Would love to stay again.

Great stay at the cottage
We had an amazing time at the cottage. There were 4 of us for my 40th birthday. I would totally recommend to anyone and was really great full for a relaxing stay and the fact I could bring my dogs was brilliant for me. Owners Victoria and Jim were very friendly, lovely and accommodating. We will definitely be returning. The only minor minor suggestion is to have maybe the small bin in the kitchen put in the bathroom and a larger one in the kitchen. We were ok but 4 females really needed that for hygiene purposes. The cottage was beautiful and clean and the hot tub just gave us the relaxation we needed. Great value for money and I’m great full for such a pleasent 40th. Thank you Victoria + Jim Many thanks Emily, Jill, Lesley and Sam

Everything you need, friendly hosts and safe place for dogs
The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable - we went in July only for 2 nights and there was a water shortage which meant one day we had no water! Really bad luck as out of the owners control but slightly ruined it not being able to flush the loo or have a shower - just our bad luck as we were told it doesn’t happen often. You can hear traffic noise but it wasn’t a problem. We would like to return as it was ideal for two couples with dogs. Lovely owners who live close by
