Small enclosed garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. ½-acre landscaped grounds (shared with other property on-site). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. These two holiday cottages (refs UK11991 and UK11993) are beautifully appointed properties situated in a lovely little village called Herne on the main route to Herne Bay beach. Set on the owner’s smallholding with poultry and livery yard, they are perfect for couples looking to have all the quaint village amenities on their doorstep and are also within a short distance to a stunning beach area. It is a short leisurely stroll into Herne where you reach a village pub that serves delicious food, and a bit further on is the local shop.
The cottages have been renovated to a modern standard for a more than comfortable stay, offering a spacious open plan living space with patio doors leading to the garden. There is a charming bedroom upstairs, and a sofa bed in the living room for alternative sleeping if needed. Enjoy calm mornings eating breakfast or balmy summer evenings out in your private garden area overlooking the fields, and being a dog friendly property, this is a great place for your dog to play.

Very Nice location, excellent for dogs, good area, maybe a sun umbrella for sunny days would be nice
Very Nice location, excellent for dogs, good area, maybe a sun umbrella for sunny days would be nice. For tall people the bed is a bit small. Overall a very nice stay.

We had a brillient time and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had a brillient time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage was lovely as were the couple who ran it. There was a lovely garden centre, walking didtance away, and a few miles by car there were some lovely pubs. There was a folder with all the adventures to be had however, we had our own adgenda and therefore didn't need to use it.It was nice and quite and only a few more miles from Herne Bay and a little further for Whistable, place of the famous Oysters, which were in abundance. Yes, we would certainly recomment staying here. We will certainly go back again.
