Description

Located just 15 minutes from the city of Canterbury but nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside is this sympathetically renovated cottage in the grounds of the owner's house.  The property which sleeps 2 enjoys beautiful views across rolling hills and parkland and has wonderful walks from the back door which your dog will love.  Being part of the Broome Park estate, guests can enjoy a game of golf as day members at the Golf and Country Club, followed by a drink at the bar in the magnificent mansion house.  Just a few minutes walk across the fields you will find The Jackdaw a very popular village pub offering a good restaurant.  Barham village itself offers an excellent village store specialising in local produce and a visit to Simpson's Vineyard is not to be missed, to sample some delicious award winning wines! The village of Bridge on the way into historic Canterbury offers a convenience store, post office, gift shop and a couple of pubs. For a day out head for medieval  Canterbury with its stunning cathedral, cafe culture, winding streets and museums.  Or discover the coast and the pretty village of St. Margaret's at Cliffe where you can watch the channel ferries going to and from France and enjoy spectacular views from the White Cliffs coastal walk.  Shop: 1.2 miles   Pub: 0.6 miles  Coast:11.4 miles

Reviews

We had a great autumn week in Well Cottage. Spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished. The setting was fantastic with the surrounding woodland and manicured lawns. The owner was most friendly and obliging. ‘Well’ recommended.

Mr M,

The cottage and gardens were wonderful. The owners were lovely and helpful. I would definitely book this cottage again.

Mrs U,

A beautiful cottage, set in lovely gardens, making it a perfect hideaway for a peaceful holiday in the countryside. The interior of the property is finished to a high standard. It is very well equipped, very clean and comfortable.

Ms V,

A wonderful location and friendly family. Facilities are somewhat basic, but sufficient. We had a great time!

Mr Van R,

A delightful cottage equipped to the highest standards, situated in beautiful parkland with views over the downs. Well positioned to visit all areas of Kent and East Sussex. The hosts were very helpful in ensuring a successful holiday.

Mr C,

Great location, views and garden beautiful. Cottage comfortable and handy to catch local buses.

Mr K,

Cottage is very well appointed in stunning surroundings with beautiful gardens for human and doggy enjoyment and on site the owners are friendly and helpful. There is a request bus stop at the end of the driveway with a service to and plenty of walks to be taken from the cottage itself so the car can stay in the parking space if required.

Mr C,

Well Cottage is a beautiful cottage set in a stunning location. The owner and his family were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a fantastic relaxing week here in June 2024.

Mr C,

Lovely hosts, we were made to feel very welcome. Beautiful cottage and gardens. The cottage was very cosy and lovely. Dotty our dog loved the gardens. We would highly recommend Well Cottage.

Mr A,

Lovely cosy cottage with all modern fixtures. Beautiful views and friendly, helpful owners. Couldn’t fault it as a holiday home.

Mrs L,

Lovely country cottage in a great quiet location but with easy accessibility close to a number of villages for pubs/restaurants. Well equipped kitchen/house and lovely garden. Very friendly and helpful owners. Thanks!

Mr H,

WOW, a wonderful cottage set in superb surroundings, our hosts were perfect too. Well cottage was very comfortable spacious and a great place to stay. Kitchen ,dining area, lounge, bedroom with ensuite. decorated and furnished to a high standard. The outside area, patio, grass and garden was immense, Situated only a 100 metres from a main road it 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.

Mr P,

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 quality 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.

Mr B,

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 the 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 didn’t 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.

Previous Customer,
