2 bedroom accommodation in Eastry, near Sandwich
In a lovely village setting, Holme Cottage is close to Sandwich and the historic city of Canterbury. Or why not take the ferry over to France from Dover?. All on the Ground Floor:
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial logs for wood burner included. Small courtyard with garden furniture. On road parking. No smoking.. ’Holme’ is a charming cottage located in the pretty conservation area of Eastry village. Being unusually large for a traditional 17th-century cottage, Holme Cottage is pleasantly spacious and boasts two wood burners, exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace. Guests can experience the history and character of days gone by whilst still enjoying all the comforts of modern living. Outside there is a small courtyard, perfect for sitting with a glass of wine on a summer’s evening.
The cottage is ideally located for a host of modern amenities with a coffee house, pub, grocers, bakers, butchers and post office, all within a short walking distance. There is a wealth of picturesque footpaths and cycle routes nearby, ideal for nature lovers, walkers, cyclists and dog owners. Holme Cottage is also superbly placed for golfers, with a number or golf courses within a short drive, including Royal St. George’s, Sandwich. For anglers, the tranquil Sandwich Lakes are also within easy access.
Visit the Cinque Port Town of Sandwich and take a trip on the River Stour, you may even be lucky enough to spot seals. Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory is a great spot for birdwatchers, or visit Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve. Great family days out can be had exploring the many castles in this part of Kent including Deal, Walmer and Dover. Do not miss the historic town of Canterbury, just 25 minutes in the car, and you can visit the stunning cathedral which forms part of a World Heritage Site and is often described as ’England in stone.’ Take a wine tasting tour at Simpsons Wine Estate or at Barnsole Vineyard.

Great cottage, nice quality fittings & equipment, parking easy, downsides were small patio only big
Great cottage, nice quality fittings & equipment, parking easy, downsides were small patio only big enough for 2 people and only 1 small bath towel & 1 hand towel supplied per person, but they are minor points and the overall spacious feel to the cottage, its character and quality equipment plus decent location (for us) all made it an enjoyable week with plenty of walks around the local area and Kent's seaside towns along with Canterbury all within easy reach. Worth a visit you wont regret it!
