Description from owner
Description
The Gardener's Cottage is recently converted, providing a period setting with 21st century amenities. The interiors have been thoughtfully decorated and furnished with style and comfort in mind; using beautiful English Oak, Heritage and eco products to attain an understated elegance. Comfort and Quality has been the main criteria. Designed for two, they offer the ultimate self-catering experience; an oasis of calm from which to discover this area's rich heritage. Great emphasis has been put into providing everything needed to make your stay unforgettable Set in a pretty courtyard, these two cottages are designed for a relaxing, rejuvenating getaway.
Situated between Sandwich and Canterbury, we are ideally placed for visiting this outstanding area of England; along with easy access to ports for trips to France and beyond. Kent International Airport and Dover Docks are 25 minutes away (we are not on the flight path!), and Ashford International Station for Eurostar is around 45 minutes drive.
These two charming cottages nestle in the hamlet of Shatterling, a beautiful part of the county of Kent, within easy reach of Canterbury, (a UNESCO site). Sandwich, described as one of the most complete medieval towns in England is 5 minutes by car, or head out into the beautiful countryside for days spent walking or birdwatching. If history is your thing, the ancient castles of Deal, Walmer, Richborough and Dover are all within easy reach. Other ideas may include a day trip to Paris via Eurostar or ferry to Boulogne and Calais; or stay with these shores and enjoy a day fishing, golfing or a refreshing coastal walk. This is the perfect location for exploring the best that Kent has to offer. Since opening in 2009, we have consistently been awarded 4* Gold award with Visit England. New for this year, Nespresso coffee machine.

Response from the owner So glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Dover Deal and Whitstable are about 25-30 minutes from us, but Sandwich is about 10 minutes, just down the road. We are so lucky to have the farmer's market within walking distance. We do do shorter lets during the Spring, Autumn and Winter, but in the Summer we find the majority of people are after a week's holiday and a long weekend means it spoils a week. We would love see you both again!

Response from the owner Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you both. The refundable damage/loss deposit is a bit awkward when it comes to changing currencies through the bank. They charge me £15 to refund the deposit, so with overseas visitors, we ask for the deposit in cash. Let's hope the banks reduce this charge! I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

We had originally looked at staying in the stables, but when we went to book, only the Gardners cottage was free. It was perfect for us. It has a lovely cosy feel, but with plenty of room. Very clean,… More
