The Space:
Our spacious cottage takes full advantage of stunning views across the Kent Downs, making it the perfect spot for visitors to Canterbury, the Canterbury Festival, sociable family gatherings, wedding parties, hikers, walkers, and nature lovers. Located in the quaint village of Petham in the heart of the Kent Downs, yet just 10 minutes drive from central Canterbury. Enjoy autumn walks in the downs or enjoy a day trip to Ashford, Folkestone, Hythe and other central Kent locations.

The open-plan living area has two trifold windows which open out onto a huge patio where you can enjoy a BBQ in summer or sit around the fire pit on chillier days. There is a fully equipped kitchen with all you will need to prepare any meal and a dishwasher for quick clean-ups. Enjoy a sit-down meal around the statement wooden table, or gather around the wood burner on colder nights and warm your toes on the heated floor. There is also a snug living room and playroom at the front of the house with a sofa bed should you need to sleep two extra guests. For at-home entertainment, we have provided a Smart TV, board games and reading material.

On the ground floor, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a half bath. Three bedrooms have plush hotel-quality king-size beds, and the fourth bedroom has twin/single beds that can be made into a king-size bed if desired. The main en-suite bedroom has massive picture windows that frame the view of the ancient woodland on the hilltop beyond the large garden.

We have planted a wildflower meadow at the front of the house, which provides a stunning display for both humans and pollinators in the summertime. The back garden is also a wild area, cultivated to attract the abundant wildlife.

Book today, gather the family to give them the good news, and prepare for a wonderful stay with beautiful views courtesy of nature in Petham!

Close by, the villages of Chilham and Chartham are well connected to the national train network.
