Short break
The Bothy suited us well. The owner, Chris, was quick to respond and rectify a problem with an alarm. Thank you Chris.
Despite knowing that no-one could see in, not having window blinds in the bathroom and ensuite was a little off-putting.
Having a receptacle for recyclables in the utility room would be helpful as would a tea caddy in the well equipped kitchen area. All in all we would recommend The Bothy to others and we may return sometime ourselves.

Comfort in the countryside
The Bothy provided us with a really comfortable and well equipped base in a quiet rural setting, well in reach of local shops. Being situated on a working farm was not a hindrance at all. The location presented relatively easy access to many of the beautiful and interesting places in Kent, including the not to be missed Faversham.

Lovely cottage with views
Cottage was lovely, the views couldn’t be better. It was very peaceful!
The kitchen was well equipped and was big enough for 4 people to stay.
A few areas of improvement- there were lots of cobwebs and dust on the windows, both inside and out. Some flies were found on the floor when we checked in. There is supposed to be a smart tv but must be an older one as doesn’t have the apps (if that is what you are after), there are surprisingly no locks on the bathroom doors and looks like they have been taken off.
Shower gel and shampoo was advertised as being provided but this wasn’t.
Some clearer instructions to getting in the property would be helpful although luckily the owner answered the phone to direct us, though didn’t know we were arriving!
Overall the cottage was a lovely getaway in a great, peaceful location but could do with a few tweaks.

Summerholiday at the Bothy July 2024
We stayed at the Bothy for our summer holiday in July 2024.
The house is wonderfully located in the countryside of Kent but only a short distance from local shops and the A2. Canterbury, London and the coast are close by.
It took us a little extra effort to find the entrance of the property (Dully House) based on the provided instructions. The keybox was easily found and you can conveniently park just next to the house.
The house is spacious and the bedrooms and living room/kitchen provided more then enough space for our family of 4.
The garden was a wonderful place to sit and play games when the weather was good. We really enjoyed that.
The living room is comfortable and has everything you need, including games, books, music, tv. We had an issue with the internet connection but the owner helped to fix it the next day.
The kitchen is well equipped with all convenient appliances. There was more then enough cutlery and crockery, pots and pans. However it was a bit of a mismatch and many items were not very clean. We missed some pots and pans as they were in a somewhat hidden cupboard underneath the breakfast bar :-) There is also almost no space available for putting away the groceries during your stay.
There are 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms. They were nice and clean. However the windows of the bathrooms upstairs look out over the countryside and the path towards the farm buildings. This provides little privacy when using the bathrooms since there were no window blinds installed. The sinks in the bathrooms are thigh-high which makes it very hard to use for washing and brushing your teeth. There is also no space provided to store any toiletries.
The single beds were very comfortable. The double bed is a bit on the smaller side both in length and in width. The wardrobes were great and provided more than enough space for our clothes.
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. We were able to use the house as a wonderful and peaceful home from which we could explore Kent.
