If you fancy escaping to a chateau but don't want to leave the country, this home is perfect. Situated behind electric gates, the west wing of this chateau-style home is in the glorious Kent Downs. Enjoy alfresco lunches on the terrace with its views over the countryside. Inside, the living room, with its solid oak floors, high ceilings and curved wall of windows, has an airy feel. Pop some logs in the wood burner, from your hosts' own woodland, on chilly days and relax with a glass of fizz. We love the table made out of polished wine boxes. 

When you are ready to explore, there's plenty to do. Set in the rural village of Challock, located high on the North Downs, there are plenty of walks on your doorstep – make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the local deer. It's just a five-minute walk to King's Wood, which is carpeted in fragrant bluebells in spring. Or the cathedral city of Canterbury, with its cobbled streets and timber-framed houses, is twenty-five minutes in the car. It's the same distance to Whitstable, where you'll find a long stretch of shingle beach, fresh seafood and independent shops. There are several vineyards within a ten-mile ride, too, if you want to taste some of the local wines.

There’s even a vegetable patch – the meals you rustle up in the cottage kitchen will be oh-so-fresh. You’ll also have a private garden just for the two of you, and when the weather turns chilly, you can curl up together around the wood-burning stove.

Nestled within a small country estate, you can relax in the private garden, savour long soaks in the hot tub and follow hiking trails through the surrounding meadows. Inside, the rooms have been designed to inspire a wonderful sense of well-being.

The Old Bull Pen 

Free Parking

There's been no horsing around in converting these stables into this studio retreat – excuse the pun. You can't have a country bolthole without a log burner to snuggle up in front of, right? Luckily there's one here, and the first basket of logs is provided to get the fire going. There's no escaping from the fact that this cottage is traditionally decorated, but it adds to the charm. The absolute highlight for us, though, is the garden with its wonderful views over wildflower meadows to Orlestone Forest (famous for its nightingales). When you're ready to explore, head to the nearby village of Hamstreet, with its shops, eateries and pub, a short drive away (it's walkable too).

The Collector's Treasure

This home is situated in the rural English countryside, and you'll love the view of the accompanying fields with a paddock and stables on-site. Although horse riding isn't allowed, you can still pet the horses and there's a riding school just a short 2km away. The home consists of a main house and a converted barn, so it’s perfect for a large group or family wanting to sprawl out and enjoy the country air. There are plenty of outdoor areas here, and you'll also find some quaint local pubs in the nearby village less than 2km away, while the nearest shops are 7km from the home.

A delightfully quaint bolthole set in the beautiful Kent countryside, this home's modern black facade is complemented by a rustic and quirky interior. Glass-fronted and beaming with sunlight all year round, the bright living space is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The fully-equipped kitchen has soft wooden tables and open shelves, creating a homely and relaxing space to gather over a homecooked meal. It opens onto the trendy and whimsical lounge, with its yellow armchair and eclectic decorations. We loved the garden most of all – slide open the glass doors and step outside into the fresh air. Outside, you'll find an alfresco dining area – the perfect spot to tuck into the cake host Georgina leaves for you – and a cosy lounge area surrounding an open-air fire pit, which is ideal for enjoying a moment of calm while watching the sunset. You may even spot the resident kingfisher as it flies from the pond. When you're ready for sleep, drift off in the plush beds in the country-style bedrooms, then wake up feeling well-rested and ready to explore Kent. You're perfectly located for adventures – make the twenty-minute drive to the coastal Dungeness National Nature Reserve or reward yourself after a stroll with a pint in one of the delicious pubs nearby.

The Kingfisher

Meanwhile, the spa-like bathrooms featuring rainfall showers and large free-standing bathtubs offer an air of luxury and allow for self-care and pampering at every opportunity. 


Old Harrow 

We defy anybody not to fall completely head over heels for this cosy stone cottage nestled away in deepest Kent. Downstairs, you'll find a charming mix of vintage furnishings, shelves packed full of books and a log burner to gather around come nighttime. By contrast, the first floor is a more modern affair, with stark white walls, spotlights in the ceiling and sleek bathrooms each with a bathtub for a rejuvenating post-walk soak. There are patios with seating around the front and back of the address — compete with a barbecue ready for summer feasts — as well as a large garden. If this gives you the taste for the great outdoors, you're in luck as the Kent Downs AONB can be reached in a twenty-minute drive, while Hythe Beach takes just over twenty-five.

Flower of Kent

Trash Compactor

Escape to this rustic stable retreat, high on the Kent Downs within the grounds of an 18th-century farmhouse. Fringing the village of Hastingleigh, besides a walkable local pub, there’s little else here – just how countryside hideaways should be. Spend your days exploring the acres of land with free-roaming wildlife. Or relax in the shared courtyard and wider gardens, featuring a sports field, swings and trampoline to keep little ones busy. After a little more bustle? The historic village of Wye is just an eight-minute drive away. And there’s always the coast. Get off to a flying start in Whitstable – a scenic forty-five-minute drive away.

Sandcastles In The Saddle

This tubular eco haven combines sustainable building technology with luxury farm living. It's a passive house, made from low-impact materials and featuring a green roof. Clever tech includes smart air-quality sensors and infrared underfloor heating. The huge windows at one end make the most of open farmland views, while the French doors from the master bedroom lead to another patio at the rear. Set on a farm in a quiet Kent village, it's the perfect spot to make the most of the great outdoors. Keen cyclists will be pleased to know there's a bike storage shed, and walkers can take on the Kent Downs. It's halfway between Canterbury and the beaches of Hythe, with a huge range of outing options only twenty minutes away by car. Best of all, the village shop and the local pub are just a short stroll away. In the evenings, sit out on the patio and enjoy some of Kent's best stargazing skies.

The Tube

Right on the edge of Orlestone Forest and a twenty-minute drive from the coast, this quaint bolthole has been plucked from the lid of a chocolate box. Your host, Caroline, has created a cosy, clever and modern delight of a home with a mix of rustic and mid-century furnishings. Two comfy armchairs are positioned in front of the sliding doors, so you can keep one eye on the television and the other on the wildlife busying itself in the immaculate garden. Tuck into breakfast in your private courtyard before taking a stroll past the pond and golden barley fields to the paddock, where Caroline’s Soay sheep are kept. Set out on a yomp along country lanes, stopping at gastro pubs along the way. And when it’s time to get some rest, we guarantee you’ll be out like a light as soon as your head hits the pillow of your cloud-soft bed.

This home is a real treat for guests looking for something truly unique and intricately designed. This home is brimming with love, care, and eccentricity to the next level. Each room of the home follows a different theme and creates an air of excitement to find out what you'll discover beyond the next door. Located just on the edge of Dymchurch beach, guests won't have to look far for an exciting day out, while just a little further afield, the stunning and historic city of Canterbury can offer a day full of shopping, dining, and sightseeing, while the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover can be reached in a thirty-five-minute car ride and are not to be missed. 

While the local opportunities for adventure are abundant, and will surely keep any explorer busy, the real gem lies in the uniqueness of this home. With a home cinema, bar, "St Tropez" style living area, full DJ and light effect setup, a genuine sunlight room offering guests the chance to sunbathe 365 days a year, and unique bedrooms featuring a different theme and name, such as Gold, Black, Time Travellers, Swing, Venetian, Surfers, and Pondicherry, we can't think of a more exciting home, not only for families, but also for hen and stag dos and other events.

Shakespeare's Toybox

Step inside to this wholesome countryside retreat, where views of nature's beauty stretch for miles, while peace and tranquillity are to be expected. Take in a deep breath of fresh air as you wake up each morning feeling both humbled and refreshed after a dreamy night's sleep in the bedroom that comes filled with cosy blankets, quality bedding and soothing wooden furnishings. Over in the open kitchen and living area, a similarly calm aesthetic persists with plenty of natural light passing through the large glass windows – which decorate the walls with the luscious green landscape in the distance. Situated just four kilometres away from the small village of Biddenden, be sure to check out the local gastronomy at The West House, as well as some quintessentially British pub grub at The Red Lion. If a decent glass of wine tickles your fancy, you'll also be located around 6km away from Biddenden Vineyards – offering tours and tastings to visitors throughout the year. 

Dreamwood

Heated Pool

Wheelchair Access

Let’s face it – it’s that ginormous indoor private pool and state-of-the-art Swedish sauna taking all the limelight at this barn conversion property, and rightly so. It’s a luxury few expect for a home nestled away in the quiet Kent countryside. In warmer months, slide the bifold doors right back to let the sunshine in and enjoy views of the pristinely manicured gardens beyond. You could easily while away the whole day – in fact, the entire week - padding between the pool, sauna, and outdoor sun loungers, with an occasional barbecue thrown in, to spice things up. And there are more welcome surprises inside this home too. The spacious light-filled lounge and dining area overlooks the swimming pool – handy for keeping an eye on poolside antics even when you’re indoors. And upstairs, there’s a secondary lounge with Juliet balcony doors revealing views of the gardens and distant rolling fields. With such vast countryside views, you could feel a million miles from anywhere here, but you’re not as remote as you first thought. The pretty neighbouring villages all have excellent pubs serving hearty food, and the bustling cathedral town of Canterbury is just over a twenty-minute drive away. And let’s not forget the coast - pack up a picnic, and you can be on the sweeping sandy shores of Folkestone in thirty minutes flat.

Pools of Blue

On the outskirts of pretty little Orlestone, this sixteenth-century Grade II-listed cottage is picture perfect – so much so that it was featured in the Wealden Times Lifestyle Magazine. Beyond the manicured gardens are comfy rooms packed with original features, ideal for hunkering down. Pick your spot on a plump sofa with your feet up on the pouffe in front of the wood-burning fire, catch forty winks in the dreamy beds under Egyptian cotton sheets and patchwork quilts or tuck into your hosts’ homemade cake around the antique dining table. Spend glorious summer days on the lawns sprawled out with a picnic, enveloped in the sweet scent of the rose bushes while industrious bumblebees toil away in the foxgloves. On more adventurous days, don your walking boots and explore. Set off past the pond, through shady spots and open fields, eventually arriving at the Hamstreet Woods National Nature Reserve. After your yomp, a slap-up feast is well deserved; gastro pubs and tearooms await in nearby villages, just a short drive away.

Foxglove Cottage

Parking On Street

If you’re searching for a unique stay filled with character, this home could the one for you. Originally built in 1850 as a customs house, the space has since been transformed into a relaxing riverside retreat – ideal for groups looking to switch off and enjoy the best of Faversham. Located in a residential area with views across Standard Quay, there are lovely walks from here as well as easy access to local shops, cafes and restaurants – just a short stroll away. Parties aren’t allowed, but there’s plenty of space for intimate dinners and cosy evenings around the fire. While the rooms are spread across four floors with stair access, the owners have ensured the space is child friendly, plus those looking to adventure further afield will appreciate the ample free parking. 

Customs Place

A classy barn conversion on the wild and magical Romney Marsh, this little place is anything but plain. Step inside the cosy living area, where vaulted ceilings lined with oak beams provide plenty of character. On chilly evenings, throw a log on the wood burner and snuggle up with a film, or in the summer, rustle up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen and tuck into your fare on the patio. There's no better spot to unwind than the private hot tub, perfect for stargazing on summer nights or soaking up the views across the owner's vineyards and the marsh. And between the underfloor heating, sleek rain shower, bespoke beds and eco-friendly solar panels, there are a few luxury touches, too. Location-wise, this is an excellent spot for ramblers. A short walk along the Saxon Shore Way will take you to a charming 14th-century pub or you can just keep going for miles in this famously flat landscape. But if you fancy a change of scenery, spend the day on the coast – Camber Sands is only twenty minutes away by car. 

Marsh Marigold

Paid Parking On Street

Spread over three floors, this central Canterbury home offers up ample space for you to all relax between trips around the city. We love the largely minimalist design of the home, ensuring it's a great spot for uncluttering minds. In the large main bedroom, the two skylights are a nice touch. Next door you'll find a historic pub, which might cause a bit of disruption at night – that said, if you choose to visit you won't need to worry about finding your way home. You're also just a short walk from several parks and Canterbury's museums and cathedral.

Love & Lilies

Spend summer months watching boats punt along the River Stour from the sunny terrace, and winter huddled up by the fire in this charming Victorian cottage – truly, a home for all seasons. With original features blending with elegant yet characterful furnishings, you’ll feel completely at home here after a busy day strolling the quaint streets of Canterbury. Situated in the heart of the city down a tranquil lane, with the countryside and coast within a thirty-minute drive, you really have the best of all worlds here.

Go off gird for a while beside the sweeping coastal banks of the desirable Granville Cliff Estate in Seasalter - the location of this contemporary, airy home. The estate's private beach, just a minute’s walk from the property, takes centre stage here. Grab the home's paddleboard and two-person kayak and head for the sea, or try beachcombing for seashells - the coast goes on for miles. And you can always pop back to rustle up a picnic when tummies start to rumble or stroll along to the acclaimed Sportsman pub to feast on oysters. Back at the sea-facing chalet bungalow, an effortlessly stylish home awaits. Expect vintage mid-century furniture, unique artwork, and a modern kitchen made for action. Ideal for groups of friends and family coming together, you’ll love how spread out the home feels. The self-contained apartment upstairs with a separate kitchen will be a bonus for anyone looking for that extra bit of privacy. And there’s plenty to keep the kids entertained in the surprisingly spacious garden, with a trampoline & football goal. When you can finally bear to part from the private beach, central Whitstable is just a five-minute drive away (or thirty minutes on foot). Just be sure to make it back home as the sun sets over Whitstable – it’s quite the show.

Off the Grid

A 200-year-old cottage just minutes away from the city centre, this compact home is an ideal bolthole for couples or solo travellers looking to make the most out of Caterbury’s sights. The Dane John Gardens are around the corner and the cathedral is close enough that you can see its towers from the windows here. While there’s no lounge area, you’ll find a desk and a generously-sized bed upstairs, and the well-equipped kitchen is a plus for those looking to enjoy homecooked meals between sampling the city’s food scene. 


A Wicker Window

Perched amidst fields of green, reconnect with nature with a stay at this charming lodge overlooking 25 acres of Kentish country meadows. Dressed entirely in white, the interiors invite guests to enjoy a relaxing stay of pure cosiness.

When the weather is being kind, kick back on the decked terrace with a cold drink in hand – you'll even find space to dine alfresco while taking in the luscious garden views. Soak up the sun as it moves around the lodge throughout the day before heading inside for a cosy evening of movies and wine in the living area around the wood-burning stove.
