Beautifully situated in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Little Ripple Cottage is nestled in amongst unspoilt countryside with picturesque walks on your doorstep and country pubs a plenty to explore. With the village of Wye nearby, this charming village offers a choice of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, and cosy pubs, whilst the cobblestones of the historic city of Canterbury are a mere 20-minute drive away, with the coast just a little bit further.

A charming, character-filled country cottage, a former stable building, Little Ripple Cottage sits amongst neighbouring beautifully converted farm buildings, with a quintessential Kentish oast and wooden converted barn as your friendly neighbours. At the heart of the cottage, the double-height sitting and dining room with exposed beam ceiling is warmed by a roaring wood burner, the ideal backdrop for cosy evenings. A handbuilt wooden staircase leads up to a mezzanine bedroom with a single bed and reading nook, whilst back downstairs french doors open out onto a quaint patio garden with al fresco dining table and chairs. As night falls, after a day of exploring the Kent countryside, retreat to the master bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed, with a modern bathroom steps away.

A charming retreat for a relaxing stay in the Kent countryside, whether you are wanting to explore on foot or by car.

In the Area


Located in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the small village of Crundale, perfectly sandwiched between the historic city of Canterbury and the town of Ashford. Surrounded by a choice of picturesque walking and cycling routes, with the Kante Way Cycle Route nearby, and the Wye Downs National Nature Reserve a 5-minute drive away from which spectacular views of rolling countryside can be admired.

The charming village of Wye, home to a choice of independent shops and cafes, country pubs and restaurants to discover is within a 5-minute drive, with a train station taking you to London in just over an hour. Should you be able to tear yourself away from the peace of the countryside to explore the coast; the pebbled beach at Hythe stretches as far as vibrant Folkestone with a promenade ideal for walking and cycling, or should you rather immerse yourself in history, the city of Canterbury with its impressive Cathedral is less than a 20-minute drive away. For more recommendations on things to do and see check out our travel guides on Canterbury, Ashford, Hythe and Folkestone.

Week at Little Ripple 4.8/5

Excellent cottage very conveniently situated in the heart of Kent. A short drive from the lovely village of Wye. Wye has lots of charm and great facilities including restaurants, pubs and a Co op. Also has a train station with regular services from London to Canterbury and the coast beyond. Great if you don't want to drive every day. Also lots of footpaths from Wye for great walks on the North Downs. Close to roads that made it easy to tour the county. The cottage itself is modern and well equipped; everything we needed for our stay. Altogether we had a fantastic holiday. The only slight negative is that it is quite isolated. Situated on a farm which is all private land and no footpaths without a roadwalk. Consequently it wasn't possible to go to a local pub etc without driving. However this wasn't a major problem and we would fully recommend the cottage if you want to visit this beautiful part of the country.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. We had a great holiday here. Visited Dungeness (a must), Margate and Canterbury. Also a great walk from Wye along the North Downs. Wye is a lovely little village with great pubs, good shops and a brilliant farmers market. Great stay!
