This charming studio apartment is perfect for individual travellers or couples looking to discover Kent’s rural delights. You’ll be surrounded by pretty countryside to explore including Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park (2 miles) and several nature reserves within 20 miles, or you could head for a round of golf at the course in Sittingbourne (4 miles). The historic Shepherd Neame Brewery (2 miles) is a must-see for beer enthusiasts, while the delightful Whitstable, famous for its oysters, pretty harbour and pretty Tankerton Beach, is around 12 miles away. For sandy strolls closer to home, Seasalter Beach (8.5 miles) is well worth checking out, or you can go wildlife spotting at the Elmley National Nature Reserve (10 miles). The Kent Downs National Landscape, with its chalk grassland and rich woodland, is also ripe for exploration – this starts around 4 miles south.

Step inside this cosy studio to find a welcoming lounge area with a sofa, Smart TV and a wood burner – lovely for putting your feet up after a day of exploring. Large windows frame peaceful garden views, while clean white walls, rustic wooden accents and exposed beams add to the inviting atmosphere. There’s a neat kitchenette where you can prepare tasty dinners, with a dining table and two stools for laid-back dining. When it’s time to turn in, the double bed promises a comfy night’s sleep, and there’s an en-suite shower room for added convenience.

Outside, the spacious garden has plenty of seating areas for soaking up the sunshine, plus a charcoal BBQ for sizzling up a feast on mild evenings. Private parking for two cars is also available.

Really cute, well thought out and very cosy cottage. The courtyard area is a lovely addition and the surrounding area is very peaceful yet convenient for Faversham, Whitstable and Canterbury.

This is a very bijou residence but perfectly formed for 2 + large dog. Has most of the equipment you will need. It is very quiet and dark, the air is fresh and the walks lovely although there is a bit of road walking to get to them. There is plenty to do within a short travelling distance and a large Sainsburys on the outskirts of Faversham. YoRead moreu have to book Shepherd and Neame tours so we missed that one - but husband happy with large pack of golden beer. We had a lovely week and slept very well in the comfortable bed. Many places are dog friendly and I would highly recommend the Red Lion in Herne Hill and the Wilding Eatery in Canterbury near the cathedral. Hide

A wonderful cottage, highly recommended. Well designed and equipped, with helpful information of the local area. Very nice and approachable owner who checked in on arrival and then left us to it, which is what you want. First time I had visited the Swale area, and I found a lot to do within 5-45 minutes drive. Oare, Whitstable, Stodmarsh nature rRead moreeserve, and more. A quiet, peaceful place to relax. Hide
