Escape to the idyllic countryside and enjoy a peaceful retreat at this charming Hythe holiday home. Nestled in the charming village of Saltwood and surrounded by glorious countryside, yet just a mile from the sea, Bunny Cottage provides a practical base for couples or families wanting to explore both in this beautiful part of Kent.

Inside, the cottage feels considered and comfortable, with a fireplace forming the focal point of the sitting room. Carefully chosen furniture and amenities create an inviting space to settle in with a good book – or a glass of wine – surrounded by complementing artwork that adds to the sense of warmth and calm.

The open plan layout extends via a striking beam to the dining room, great for both cosy meals together and keeping the conversation going, while the fully equipped kitchen is perfect for whipping up meals with local ingredients. An enclosed patio garden allows guests to enjoy meals al fresco, or alternatively wake up with a cup of fresh coffee while listening to the early morning birdsong.

Hidden behind an unassuming door – likely a relief for families with adventurous young children – stairs lead to the first floor and two generously-sized bedrooms finished in neutral tones, with white bed linen and plump pillows offering a peaceful sanctuary for a restful night's sleep. Beautifully finished, the family bathroom benefits from both a shower and a spacious bathtub – useful for slower mornings or post-walk unwinding.

With plenty to do in the area, guests can look forward to a stay that reflects their requirements at Bunny Cottage. Brockhill Country Park just a 10-minute walk away – offering woodland trails, open grassland and lake views – while the coastline in Hythe and Folkestone provides easy access to pebble beaches, long seafront walks, and many dining and shopping options. The Michelin-starred Hide and Fox is within walking distance of the holiday cottage, and the village pub sits just a minute from the front door for more informal meals. A 15-minute walk down the hill will take you to central Hythe, where independent shops, restaurants and cafés line the historic high street, and the Royal Military Canal provides an easy extension to any outing.

Overall, Bunny Cottage suits guests looking for a comfortable retreat – whatever that may look like.
