About this property

Raspberry Cottage, Ripple

  • Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Ripple near Deal, Raspberry Cottage is the sort of place you fall for before you have even stepped inside. With its picture-perfect pink façade and thatched roof, this delightful cottage offers a warm and welcoming escape for couples, friends, small families and golfers alike. Owned by the same family since the 1980s, Raspberry Cottage is a much loved family home, full of character and thoughtful touches. In recent years, the rear of the cottage has been carefully renovated, adding two modern shower rooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs are two comfortable and thoughtfully decorated bedrooms. One boasts a king size bed and the other a double with an optional single day bed, ideal for children or teens. Outside, a sunny large garden and big patio area is a quiet spot to unwind with your morning coffee or an evening drink while enjoying views of the surrounding countryside. Your four legged friends will love it too, with plenty of footpaths from your door leading into miles of open farmland. Whether you are wandering to the local pub just down the road or exploring further afield, this is a truly peaceful corner of Kent. The location couldn’t be more perfectly placed for day trips. A short drive brings you to the charming seaside town of Deal, with its pebbled beach, pier, and abundance of independent shops and eateries. Dover Castle and the iconic White Cliffs are nearby for history lovers and walkers alike. Families will adore Betteshanger Park or White Mill Aqua Park for outdoor adventure, while just minutes from the cottage lies Solley’s Ice Cream Farm - complete with a bar, events and local produce shop. Raspberry Cottage is a place you will want to return to, time and time again. Perfectly positioned and full of character, it captures everything we love about the Kent countryside.

So charming

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was absolutely charming, and the location was perfect for exploring so many places, including castles, museums, beaches, and picturesque villages. We can’t wait to come back!

Quaint cottage

Lovely quaint cottage with a nice garden and country views. Everything we needed for cooking etc. Only thing was (i know its an old cottage) but so many huge cobwebs that looked like they had been there a long time. These were easily accessible (shower rooms across mirrors up the stairs above beds)and should have been removed.

A perfect spot for a short vacation whilst visiting Kent.

We chose Raspberry cottage based upon using the location as a base to visit the many areas of local interest we wanted to visit in this part of Kent. A place in the country that would be quiet with a space outside to relax in and far fetching views from the property (for a detox from London) we found it perfect for our needs. The dining area outside was great for early breakfasts and evening meals, there is a good well stocked Farm Shop nearby, plus a site down the lane that produced their own ice-cream - recommended. The kitchen facilities & utensils has everything needed to create a good meal (I do like cooking) far better than other accm we have stayed at. On site parking is a bonus, not having to carry the bags far, also the lane outside is quite narrow. The view over the fields was perfect for eating/relaxing outside, and the shaded garden provided the habitat for the constant birdsong. If I could make any recommendations to make the stay more complete for our particular needs, some useful additions would be a brief history of the cottage (I found online it was the oldest in Ripple) and architecturally I think possibly originally 2 x 1up/1downs and of the immediate area though I did discover more whilst chatting to some elderly gentleman at the nearby church (I am now at that age where I find local history interesting). A key for one of the shower room windows to air out, the wife mentioned a sun lounger as well. That said, thank you for offering this old/historic property on your site, it provided a most relaxing break for us, and would certainly recommend it.

A lovely cottage in a great location, many beautiful walks nearby.

This was a great stay in a charming unusual cottage. Everything was immaculate and check in and out couldn't have been easier. My one note was that there was barely anything in the cottage - just some salt and pepper. For short stays especially it would be helpful to have some basics: cooking oil, kitchen paper, shampoo and shower gel for example.

Very nice

A very comfortable cottage with excellent facilities. Pity the local pub no longer serves food. Could have done with welcome details, took us a while to find the WiFi code! Only complaint, in the hot weather cotton bedding would have been much more preferable to the polyester.

Family holiday

We had a lovely stay at Ripple Cottage. There was 4 adults and the cottage was plenty big enough. There could of been more cloth storage in the small bedroom as had to put some of my clothes in the other room which was ideal. Hooks to hold the doors back and comfortable garden furniture would just finish the cottage off.

Chocolate Box Cottage perfection!

Raspberry Cottage is a beautiful property located at the end of a row of houses with fields behind and to the right of it. The view sweeps across the fields and villages to the Isle of Thanet and the sea. Outside at the rear there is a huge patio and extensive gardens. The extension and the rear of the house contains the spacious modern kitchen and two 3-piece bathrooms. The main house has a gorgeous dining room which looks like Bilbo’s in Lord of the Rings! Then there is a cosy living room. Up the stairs (not for the mobility impaired) are the two spacious bedrooms complete with shutters and opening windows. The entire cottage is cosy and comfortable. We stayed for two weeks in the hottest part of July but the cottage remained comfortably cool (fans are located in each bedroom) One thing to note for long stayers, there are no laundry facilities at the property, so be sure to factor that in. The cottage is just five minutes drive from Deal where there are numerous grocery stores and other amenities. There is a pub located at the corner of the Church Lane with limited food options but the other end of the lane is Solley’s which has a campground, family pub, food options, ice cream and an Airstrip! We spent many evenings there, meeting friends and family with room to spread out. We had a fantastic time at Raspberry Cottage and fully recommend it. The location is perfect. We will definitely be returning soon!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
De locatie van Raspberry Cottage is perfect: tegen de velden aan vanwaar flinke wandelingen gemaakt kunnen worden. Deal is tien minuten rijden, de cliffs of Dover vijftien. Het is ook praktisch dat er een eigen oprit is. Het huisje is niet groot maar wel netjes en praktisch en voor ons tweeën en onze hond prima. De keuken is ruim maar heeft als nadeel dat het er flink tocht boven de badkamers waardoor het er niet echt aangenaam warm te krijgen was. Wij waren er met de jaarwisseling en toen was het koud en stond er een flinke wind wat niet bevordelijk is voor de temperatuur in de keuken. Daarentegen zijn de eetkamer en woonkamer wel warm. Buiten de wintermaanden zal dit niet zo’n probleem zijn. Een wasmachine zou een welkome aanvulling zijn.
