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.

In the Area

Saltwood is a charming village that offers a perfect mix of countryside and coastal living. If you're a nature lover, you'll love exploring the surrounding picturesque countryside on foot, with glorious Brockhill Country Park a short walk away, whilst the seaside town of Hythe is nearby should you be seeking the coast. For those looking for a traditional pub experience, you won't have to go far — the village pub is just a minutes’ walk away, where you enjoy a bite to eat or a drink after a day of exploring, and soak up the friendly village atmosphere, whilst for foodies out there, the Michelin-starred Hide and Fox restaurant is just a short walk away, offering a delectable culinary experience, with a tasting menu that showcases the best of local and seasonal produce.

If you're craving some time by the sea, the seaside town of Hythe is just a few minutes' drive away or a 15-minute walk downhill. Here, you can explore the charming high street, which is filled with independent shops, restaurants, and cafés. Separating the sea from the quaint high street, the Royal Military Canal awaits, with a peaceful pathway along its banks and boats to explore on the water come Spring-Summer.

When you are ready for the sounds of the waves, a beautiful walk from the high street, over the canal, leads you along a tree-lined walk along to the seafront. Whether you want to sit on the pebbles, stroll, or cycle along the promenade, stretching as far as vibrant Folkestone, or sit in one of the beachfront cafés with lunch in hand, the choice is yours. Animal lovers will also enjoy a visit to the nearby Port Lympne Reserve Park, where you can get up close and personal with exotic animals and take in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

A Delightful Stay at Bunny Cottage in Saltwood 4.8/5

We’ve just returned from our second stay at Bunny Cottage in Saltwood, and once again, it was absolutely wonderful. Coming back felt like visiting an old friend—warm, familiar, and full of charm. The cottage is just as delightful as we remembered: beautifully kept, cozy, and thoughtfully furnished. Everything is spotless and well-equipped, making it easy to relax and feel at home. Saltwood itself is a lovely village, and Bunny Cottage is the ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside and coast. It’s rare to find a place that feels so welcoming and special, which is why we didn’t hesitate to return—and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, tranquility, and a touch of English charm.

Fabulous cottage. 4.7/5

Great cottage. Immaculate. Good area, quite a big walk to Hythe and the sea. Not good for anyone with walking limitations unless you are driving everywhere. Good walks out from the cottage, pub at end of the road. Parking easy, enjoyed our stay

Lovely cottage close to a nice seaside town 3.8/5

Bunny Cottage was a lovely property. It was clean and well looked after in a good location with good amenities. The parking was easy and free and less than a minutes walk away. Although it did state unloading was outside the property this wasn't actually suitable for us as there were potholes in the road and it was narrow so our car wouldn't have made it over them. The garden could also do with a little tlc as it's a bit unkept and there was a hole in the fence so If you had a smaller dog it wouldn't have suited. Overall though great stay and comfortable beds which is always welcomed. Snug for a family of four.

Feels like home 4.8/5

Step inside and be greeted by the warm glow of the fireplace, inviting you to curl up with a good book. The cottage boasts a fully-equipped kitchen,two generously sized bedrooms provide a peaceful sanctuary for restful nights.Nearby, Brockhill Country Park (Our Dog Ellies loved it very much)and beautiful beaches await, ensuring plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the great outdoors. The village pub offers a low-key dining experience and very dog friendly . We hope to come back soon.

Cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings 4.8/5

A lovely getaway for the bank weekend, just to relax and unwind. The delightful cottage was thoughtfully decorated, put us at ease straightaway, with everything in tip top condition. Many attractions were within a short drive away. Great location with plenty to do. We walked to Hythe beach, a short drive to Lower Lea, Camber Sands and Great Stone beach. There were books and games as well, so you could curl up with a book or play board games.

Lovely Cottage 4.3/5

Sadly our stay was very brief due to a family bereavement. Only issue was awkward access for vehicles.
