Idyllically situated in an unspoilt, tranquil valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, amongst the beautiful countryside surrounding historic Canterbury, you’ll find the charming Heart’s Delight Farm Cottage. Imagine driving through woodland and alongside apple and pear orchards, and pulling up at your very own rural retreat, forming part of a beautiful Victorian Oast House. Known locally for producing fresh fruit juices, one of which will be ready for you to sample upon your arrival, the farm is surrounded by picturesque woodland with many bridleways and footpaths from the farm to explore, and with a renowned country pub and vineyard offering tastings both a walk away.

With views over the countryside, through the quaint, cottage windows, enjoyed best from the comfort of the cosy sitting room with roaring log burner. With a modern, country kitchen looking out over the garden, with a dining table to gather over breakfast to talk about your plans for the day ahead - whether that be discovering the surrounding countryside, heading to the coast or walking the cobbled, historic streets of Canterbury. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are beautifully styled, sharing the views, with a bijou shower room. After a day of exploring the countryside, a peaceful evening can be spent around the cosy wood burner, whilst come Summer sampling some of the locally produced wines in the garden may appeal!

In the Area


Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the small village of Kingston, in the beautiful countryside surrounding Canterbury. On the rolling Elham Valley Way, the area is known for picturesque countryside walking routes, with many bridleways and footpaths from the farm. With a renowned, friendly country pub, The Black Robin, a 15-minute walk away, ideal for lunch or dinner, or if sampling locally produced wines sounds tempting; Simpson’s Wine Estate is around a 30-minute countryside walk away. For days out exploring, the historic, cobbled streets of Canterbury lie just over a 10-minute drive, with its impressive Cathedral, wonderful eateries, and mix of high street and boutique shops, but if it is the fresh sea air you are craving, the beaches at quaint Hythe or vibrant Folkestone are around 30 minutes by car. For more recommendations on things to do and see, check out our travel guides on Canterbury, Hythe and Folkestone.

Very warm and cosy cottage! Loved having the log fire. Had two great walks from the village, one out to Elham which had a super pub and meal at Kings Arms. Another great walk ending at The Black Robin and returning via Barham. Such lovely paths and wonderful countryside. Also enjoyed Deal Pier Kitchen and sea front. Whitstable where there was a great wine bar and a walk along the White Cliffs of Dover. Thanks for a great stay.

Thank you for having us at Heart's Delight Cottage. We had an absolutely lovely weekend here and wish we could have stayed for longer. The cottage is lovely, and we really enjoyed cosy log fires in the evenings. The area is absolutely beautiful and we appreciated the advice on local spots to go and explore. Thank you again and hopefully next time we can stay for longer!
