Escape to the charming village of Dargate and you'll find Plum Pudding Cottage – a listed period home that combines historic character with thoughtful comfort. Perfectly formed for couples, this surprisingly spacious home is packed with charm – from its heavily beamed interiors to the huge inglenook fireplace that forms the focal point of the sitting room.
The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catered stays, with an electric oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer providing everything you need to prepare most meals before settling into the generous breakfast area during mealtimes. Outside, there's ample space for al fresco dining in the pretty wrap-around garden, which leads to a shared orchard that's enclosed and suitable for dog walks.
Back inside, the master double bedroom and bathroom are seemingly made for relaxation, with cosy underfloor heating in the bathroom inviting guests to bookend the day peacefully, before you settle in for the night amid restful decor and countryside views.
Just a short walk from the local pub, and within easy reach of the seaside, Faversham’s markets, and Canterbury’s historic city centre, this historic, beamed retreat is an excellent choice for a romantic countryside escape near Whitstable.
