Perfectly located in a wonderful country spot yet so close to the coast of Dover, Folkestone and back to the Cathedral city of Canterbury.
Dover - less than a couple of miles away here you will find the well known Dover Castle, there are also dramatic cliff top walks to the lighthouse as well as the nature park Samphire Hoe - perfect for family exploration and more.
Folkestone - is a super up and coming trendy seaside town. The harbour is where all the action can be found including the Harbour arm with street food, yummy cocktails from Wildbox bars, Macknade eaterie / food court and of course like you might expect a host of fish and chip shops, fresh seafood stalls, proper English pubs and little shops for trinkets for the little ones. If you venture just away from the harbour you can discover Steep street and the Bayle with vintage shops, art galleries, and Steep street cafe for the best cakes and coffees! More coming from this vibrant town so get exploring whilst still a secret
Seaside activities can be enjoyed in both Dover and Folkestone. Paddle boarding, kayaking and water games can be booked before and on a day out.
Shopping is best found in Canterbury and here the cobbled streets and cafes with a mix of branded shops and boutiques will give you the retail buzz you may be looking for. Canterbury also homes Chimera an indoor climbing wall, as well as Escape rooms - ideal on those less than sunny days.
